A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

This is an amazing series on TV. I am very exited for Season 3 of it. I have seen the promos through Otavo.tv/ and I think that Season 3 will be air in winter.

Mance Rayder has been cast, and lo, it was good


Now we just need James Purefoy as Oberyn Martell.

Just found this:

So now I have finished the books I have also re-read this entire thread and now dared to open all the spoiler tags

Question to the book readers (including even perhaps a spoiler for book readers about the plot of the series):

Spoiler:

Are you guys aware of the ongoing debate on the internets about the true origins of Jon Snow? And if you are, what's your idea about it? Reading up on it I got the idea that Martin has really great abilities to hide a plotline very well, while still keeping it in our sights so that we can't say that we "didn't saw it coming". Unfortunately though nothing can be hid from the internets

[Imran Siddiqui]

I think we are all aware of that debate... but its hardly a 'debate' now, isn't it?

[Guynemer]

It'd be more of a surprise if that theory doesn't turn out to be true, to be honest.

[MikeH]

Agreed.

[Robert]

Well, MRRG may not like it that everybody knows and come up with a plot change.

Spoiler:

I'm a bit worried though that the resurrection of Jon may be too much for me, like I already didn't like the death of Renly. I hope it won't be to cheap.

[Guynemer]

One thing is definitely not a spoiler in the show at this point, so to address one thing you said: Renly was definitely dead, and never resurrected; it was his lover's brother wearing his distinctive armor at that battle.

As to the spoiler stuff:

Spoiler:

One easy out is that we didn't actually see Jon die; he could simply survive those wounds, especially with a pissed off giant and Tormund & Co. nearby to stop the assault. Freaky magic Melisandre is also in close proximity, so that is route #2. And, my personal favorite, is that he wargs into Ghost, which explains that seemingly random prologue about Varamyr Sixskins.

[Robert]

Spoiler:

I wasn't talking about Renleys 'resurrection' but about his death. It was the worst part of the books imho.
Option Warg seems most logically for sure, but I'm sure he'll also get back into his body at a certain point. By then the nightwatch most probably is totally ruined by itself, wun wun and the free people. (after the nightwatch killed of Jon). But how? I hope it won't be cheesy

[Robert]

Spoiler:

hmmm, good thing about that prologue! I have to re-read that! Thanks

[Imran Siddiqui]

re: Renly's death. I think Martin had to place that in the books to show that Melisandre isn't just some crackpot but actually DOES have magic and her disposal. And makes everyone understand that yes this is a fantasy series.

[Nikolai]

I began reading the books this summer, after seeing the series and wanting the whole story. Good stuff.
