Re: George R.R. Martin
Some speculation on stuff in the trailer. Spoilers of course.

Re: George R.R. Martin
anyone have a good podcast for Game of Thrones, can discuss both show and books, that someone who is a fan of the Talking Dead podcast would enjoy?

Re: George R.R. Martin
I haven't really shopped around so to speak, but there is a BLAH (boiled leather audio hour) podcast that I've listened to from time to time.

Re: George R.R. Martin
Will be interesting to see what happens there since D&D have been pretty adamant about wanting to do 7 seasons. I can understand since it is basically their life year round right now.
I just hope that they don't approach it like there will be 7 and then have HBO say no, we want ten! And then we get a bunch of filler. I'm hoping for the show to trim the fat, not add it.

Re: George R.R. Martin
I could see D&D be amenable to 8 seasons max if necessary, but definitely not 10. I do like the idea of tapping some of GRRM's other Westeros materials. A couple season series about Robert's Rebellion would be pretty awesome.

Re: George R.R. Martin
I wouldn't mind seeing that... After they finish the main story anyway. Don't need the show going Martin on us.

For sure. GRRM's idea of dealing the main story so he can get caught up with the books can't happen. Finish the main show and take it from there.

I would love a spin off of Bronn's adventures. Seriously.

Re: George R.R. Martin
Small preview video, centered around Varys's speech from the first trailer. Most seen before, a couple glimpses of new stuff.

Re: George R.R. Martin
GRRM mentioned on his blog that he is canceling some convention appearances this year to continue work on "Son of Kong," aka Winds of Winter. That's good news for book fans.

Probably spoilers galore, but I thought this was a good read.

Re: George R.R. Martin
Yeah, major book 4 and 5 spoilers in there. I agree largely with what they're saying.

Re: George R.R. Martin
Yeah, I have to agree with that article too. Some of those I didn't remember, as they were relatively minor points that didn't really move the plot or story forward. Don't miss the Pyke stuff at all.

A couple shots of the new Myrcella, as well as a couple short clips.

Re: George R.R. Martin
No surprise, but the show will spoil the books before they are written

Re: George R.R. Martin
Still a bummer. The spoilers will be unavoidable, I probably won't read the rest of the books. Thanks GRRM

Blech. I'll probably read the books out of obligation but this will suck the excitement out of it.
Though the show barely goes into the fine detail of the flags people are holding, so there's that to look forward to.

Re: George R.R. Martin
Martin's final book will probably come out a decade after the show is over. I'd expect him to change things to a degree just to give people a reason to read the book. God knows there will at least be a 30 page feast in the book that gets omitted from the show.
