so good!

Trailer looks fantastic.

Speculating here: I'm guessing the opening shot is part of some sort of dream sequence. I can't imagine the dragons growing that much during the course of a single season. But, I have not read that far into the books so of course I could be wrong and Drogon grows like maniac and it will be awesome.

So, that trailers looks fucking awesome. Can't wait for the new season.

Trailer has me pretty pumped. I got a new 58 inch tv and surround sound this past fall so I am thinking of rewatching the first two seasons on the big screen and surround sound in time for the third season to come out on blu ray and then watch that in time for the season 4 premiere... just to experience it all again. Im pretty obsessed with the show since I finished all the books.

I am worried that this season may start to introduce things that haven't happened in the books. I don't think anything big will happen in that regards, but I believe Bran's storyline has the potential to reach that point.

From what I've read Bran's storyline will jump to ADwD, same with Dany... which has me worried they could start to get ahead of the books! Or maybe this is the final push GRRM needs to focus on just churning out the last 2 books!

I hope so. Im glad they pushed Danys storyline ahead and I think that was a given from last season, but I was hoping they could finish Storm of Swords this season and maybe get another season of Feast for Crows and Dance with Dragons to give GRRM two more years... it just doesn't seem likely at this point.

It looks like the next season will be a random mishmash of Dany's exploits in aDwD and the latter half of aSoS.

There's one brief shot where it looks as if Jorah might duel the knight from... Mereen was it? There's also the shots of what look like the followers of The Harpy attacking someone. Anyways, however they do it, I doubt that Dany's story will end with the events in the arena.

George still hopefully has some time to finish writing that fucking book.

Actually if you freeze the trailer at that moment you can see Jorah at Dany's right and Ser Barristan on her left. So I'm guessing that's Daario standing in for Strong Belwas (I miss him) dueling the Hero of Meereen.

Orly? I assumed it was Jorah since it looked like he was wearing a very similar-looking tunic. Daario makes a bit more sense though.

It seems like they could finish the third book this season, then take the next 3 or even 4 seasons doing the combo of 4 & 5. That should give Martin enough time to get off his ass and finish the series, if he would just fucking DO it.

3 or 4 seasons for books 4 And 5? I doubt that. I see 1.5 seasons at most. I think they will fast forward a lot of the storylines to male the show more interesting.

The last I heard was that in an interview he said he was up to some ridiculous number of pages. He said when it's done it's done. He's not making promises so he won't perjure himself this time.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #1379 on:** January 15, 2014, 05:46:39 AM »

That's probably best.

Prog Snob · « **Reply #1380 on:** January 15, 2014, 05:53:23 AM »

I liked the fact that he mentioned Staten Island in one of his interviews once. He lived in Bayonne and wondered what the island across the water was like with all of the lights shining. He likened it to some mystical wonderland. Contrarily, when he finally came to SI he was extremely disappointed.

The producers have said that they don't want to do more than 7 seasons, otherwise the show drags on. They'll need to do some catching up in the upcoming season or two in terms of plot, but then they'll have a problem with catching up on the books in terms of time.

BlackInk · « **Reply #1383 on:** January 15, 2014, 09:31:15 AM »

I just hope they don't make seven seasons, just because they have said that. If it turns out that Martin's books requires more seasons than what they have intended then I really wouldn't want them to cut it short just because.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #1384 on:** January 15, 2014, 02:13:21 PM »

There are to be 7 books, 1 of which will have taken 2 seasons to portray. Limiting it to 7 seasons seems impractical.

As far as I'm aware, season 4 will extend beyond the end of the third book and way into the fourth. But yes, they are definitely behind on that front.

Well, that's what they said. They may change their minds I suppose.

New 15 minute interviews/trailer for season 4. Looks and sounds like another good season ahead.

I caught that last night on HBO. What did you think of it?

Books 4 and 5 are ripe for being mashed together with parts split to books 3 and/or 6. It's not like their format was some grand plan on Martin's part.

The 15 minute preview was epic. Interesting interviews, some cool new footage, and that sweet ass moment near the end. Drogon

I might do a quick re-read of the third and fourth book just to keep it fresh in my mind.

I buckled and ordered the bluray set of seasons 1-3. I am caught up with all seasons and have avoided that preview as I dont like previews at all. I'm an extras junkie so cant wait to consume all the extras on the bluray sets.

I already have the books but havent read them yet. This show is fantastic.

/just some random musings.

Looks like you got your work cut out for you. I have all books and the first two seasons on Blu ray. I plan on buying season 3 next week.
