I have read the books so i know what is coming.

Next season beware, that just because you got killed this season it does not mean you are dead !!!!!!!!!

Had my suspicions that something wasn't right, but did NOT expect that

I'm pleased I started the books after watching the first two series (bought 1-5 from a charity shop for £6), I'm currently half-way through book two. I've recorded the first two series and half of this one to Blu-Ray, so often re-watch an episode that I've just read about. I'm still amazed that the producers have managed to include so much detail in the filming of what are long and involved books.

After the last episode I'm wondering what will happen in the finale

If you're talking about what I think you're talking about won't that happen in the last episode?

It happens in this book but the book is split into two parts and i am not sure where the split takes place. Also to make filming easier they have moved some of the story lines around for continuity . There are a lot more " kings" to die but i think that might be for the next series.

I have to say that i wish i could just watch all the next series back to back, the waiting around and watching week to week is very frustrating

Anyone watch Thronecast ?

How hot is Carise van Houten ( Melissandre) and a good singer as well !

very and she was good in Black Book

The major worry now is the series seems to be catching up to the books and George RR Martin is hardly the most prolific author. It's something of a balancing act trying to spin the books out and still retain viewer interest, although there are some contingencies to produce one-off specials or mini-series, concentrating on individual characters/houses. There's also the possibility of prequels too.

I think they split one of the books into two series, to give him time to catch up.

I started reading the books a couple of years ago after Season 1 finished but stopped part-way through Book 2. Started Book 2 again last month and just finished Storm of Swords, Part 2 in the last few days. If the next series is anything like the book, it should be the best one so far! Should be interesting to see how they deal with certain events. Some of the things that happen in the TV series don't happen in the books and quite a few things are slightly changed, probably for logistic purposes.

Reading on as I just want to find out what happens now!

rlSeason 4 - Lots of blood & gorerl

Martin has said that he's told the show runners exactly what is going to happen to everyone and how the story is supposed to end just in case anything happens to him before he finishes the books

Just watched series 1 and 2 again. Absolutely brilliant but a shame the Yorkshire contingent took an early bath (Lena Headey's still alive though). Just one sticking point, it was obvious to me what was to happen to Robb and co. the minute that old fella said to leave all the soldiers outside the walls and make yourself comfy. Oh, and his mother had said about 12 times that Walder Frey was going to be somewhat let down by events. other than that roll on series 4.

I've heard they're cutting that storyline, the actor isn't coming back.

Just watched 1st new episode, recorded this morning commercial free, v good.
