  • Yeah, it will probably be books 4 & 5 combined but over two seasons. Heck, they're still only 2/3rds of the way through book 3 right now.

      After everything that's been said, you couldn't be more mistaken.


      As for the continuation of the show, I agree there'll be some book 4 stuff during next season. After that, I wonder into how many season they'll split books 4 & 5. Could be done in two seasons, could be done in three.

        Its one and the same really. Because the Lannisters would have gone to war instead of the Starks if Joffrey was disinherited in favor of Stannis.
        they were going to compress it by ditching some of the less important stuff where new characters are introduced.

        • They kind of have to ditch some of the less important characters other wise there will be too many characters for viewers to keep track of and people will lose interest.

            Still too much for only 10 episodes, even if you take out a lot of the Dorne and Iron Islands story. Though if they short change us on the Sand Snakes, there will be Hell to pay .

                  There will be parts of book 4/5 into season 4
                  And of course a lot of book 4/5 will be left of the screen.

                  The most recent idea is to finish the series in 7 seasons.
                  season 1: book 1
                  season 2: book 2
                  season 3: book 3a
                  season 4: book 3b / 4a/5a
                  season 5: book 4/5
                  season 6: book 6
                  season 7: book 7
                  (and that's most probably the point where GRRM decides he needs 8 books )

                  I can see a lot being cut from book 4/5.

                  Spoiler:
                  Dorne can't be removed, but huge parts of Dorne can be removed. No need to have the entire episode where Myrcella is being kidnapped and ariadne is being locked in the tower, in example.
                  Spike can be largely removed as well. All they need to show is that Euron grabs power while Theon is absent. That's enough for Theon later on in book 6 or 7 to show up and claim the power after all.


                  It seems like Mereen is already cut off and mixed with Yunkai.
                  Big parts of Tyrion's travel can be removed as well. Who knows what will happen with Quentin Martell.... if D&D know enough, perhaps that storyline isn't even important at all.....

                  Its one and the same really. Because the Lannisters would have gone to war instead of the Starks if Joffrey was disinherited in favor of Stannis.
                  If Joffrey would have been legitimate, there would have been no problem.
                  And at least if Ned would have had the idea that Joffrey would have been legitimate, he would have sided with the Lannisters to fight for the son of his best friend.

                  But of course it's all speculation on fiction, which is really a waste of time

                      Reasonable guess. I'd think that'd be either episode 3 or 4, with 2 being mostly focused on

                      the first battle of Castle Black, with sprinkles of Dany marching on Meereen and various wedding preparations (let's meet Oberyn, my what a pretty hairnet Sansa just received, that sort of thing)

                        • I thought there was a thread for book discussion?

                          This thread is a land mine for those that haven't read the books.

                            This is a TV show discussion speculating as to what will be shown in upcoming seasons based on book knowledge.

                              I guess the rest of us don't matter?
