The season finale is going to be incredible. I am kicking myself for getting into this show so early instead of waiting for it to be done and renting it all at once. Now we are going to have to wait many more months for season 3  :'(

And many more months for season 4 and many more months for season 5...

Hooray!  (Still waiting on a Bastard of Bolton, but since he's been mentioned in the show I'll assume he hasn't been cut)

There is some casting evidence that he may appear next season:

https://winteriscoming.net/2012/05/casting-season-three-ramsay-snow/

Quote
In the books, Ramsay is described as having a “fleshy appearance, with large, wormy lips, long hair … and pale eyes” (per AWOIAF). A recent casting breakdown for season three indicated that the production is looking for a “male 20-30, but weird and extreme looking.” Sounds like Ramsay to me!

Plenty of minor characters in aSoS that could fit this description (particularly in Jon and Danaerys' POVs,) but it is a possibility that they're talking about Ramsay. I could never figure out why Ramsay is such a fan favorite; he'll easily be the most hated character on the show for anyone who hasn't read the books.

From what I understand, season 3 will cover the first half of book 3, because of its length.  Also, maybe slightly unrelated, the name 'Storm of Swords' gives me a hardon.

Just realized I will be out of town (and I believe without HBO) for the season finale on Sunday. I DON'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

Doesn't really matter since the exec producers have said they're not doing a straight book-to-TV after season 1. They're doing an adaptation of the saga.

Hence no Reeds or Bloody Mummers yet.

Eh.  There's so much other stuff to watch that I don't really feel the wait.

I just finished the 4th season, really good show!  :tup

A good break from Swords and Dragons, Zombies and Carl, Alieninvasion and Bad acting!  :lol

Incredible finale! Spoilers ahead, for those of you who haven't seen it yet...












First of all... WHITE WALKERS!!!!!!! It's as if this whole time all the petty 'kings' have been fighting each other in pointless wars instead of worrying about the real danger north of the wall. I can't wait to see how that develops.

Secondly, I was very sad to see Maester Luwin die. He was one of a few consistently decent characters.

Thirdly, Jon Snow really fucked up the whole situation when he didn't chop of the redhead's head, but damn... I'm happy he didn't, she'e a keeper. I was hoping to get a glimpse of Mans Raider (I'm sure I'm probably not spelling that right), but I can wait until season 3.

Fourthly, Theon gives a damn good speech.

Fifthly, Why didn't Sansa leave with the hound?

Sixthly, I was glad to see Tyrion survived, although not very surprised. I do fear for his life now that he doesn't have the protection of the gold cloaks, and wonder what Bron is up to now.

Seventhly, WHITE WALKERS!!!!! I knew they were out there, but it was still very exhilarating to see their army.

Eighthly, I'm feeling kind of foolish for not reading the books, and may go ahead and do that while before season 3 starts next year.

Oh and did I mention, WHITE WALKERS!!!!!

Well, that's all I got. Just some thoughts on what I think was a VERY  well done finale.

Also, give some love to the Brienne/Jaime scene! Very antagonistic, yet supportive.

Thanks for that!

Brienne does have some balls... and Jaime has really grown on me, even with that business with Bran and the window.

Also, I forgot... Congratulations to Robb, but he is going to have some issues with the Arryn's.

One contribution:

Joffrey Lannister and Margaery Tyrell seem to be made for each other.  They're like the Sid and Nancy of Westeros.

They won't be big ass MoFo, but Daenerys' story should be much more interesting.

Question for readers: is the third season going to cover the third book or was this season "part 1" for the second?

I think the third season covers the first part of the 3rd book, because the third book (A Storm of Swords) is by far the longest in the series.

I think...

I'm not sure, the executive producers did say the next two season will cover A Storm of Swords but they haven't said if it's like half and half or anything. There hasn't been any word on how it will divided.

I think most book readers will love the next season to end at a certain part... which I will not say anything about.

I doubt Oberyn will appear next season, maybe for season 4, but I doubt it in season 3. We will get Jojen and Mera Reed and the Brave Companions though! \m/

I haven't read the books and i don't wish to be spoiled but I get the feeling that the dragons will be what kills the white walkers since they are only killed by fire. I kind of though daenerys with her wanting to take over and kill everyone with her dragons would be a "bad guy" but she has become a very likeable characer. I guess the same could be said of Jaime. All I know is this show is filled with great characters that I really enjoy watching, even Joffrey.

The actor they got for Blackfish is how I imagined him. Lord Beric is a little older than he's suppose to be, but so are a lot of other characters.

No Red Viper.  So I guess he's gonna show up in Season 4 then.

Also, no Tormund Giantsbane yet?  For shame HBO.
