HBO's Game of Thrones

[ChrisMC]

DOuble check your PVRs for this week's episode, apparently it is 10 minutes longer then normal.

I imagine it would be, they have a lot of wrap up to do!

Was last season only ten episodes too?

Yes, it was.

This is going to stink waiting so long for the next season...

[Jobydrone]

Think how awesome Storm of Swords is going to be on film though...[spoiler] the adventures of Brienne and Jaime, the fall of Joffrey, Arya in training, Jon Snow meeting some of the more bizarre denizens behind the Wall, the introduction of the Brotherhood Without Banners, and the Red Wedding...[/spoiler] and it's all less than a year away!

[Bromptonboy]

Yes indeed about book 3:
[spoiler]I wonder if they will have Tyrions nose off, or just show a scar.  They have to hurry up and film before these kids look too old.  Looks like they have dropped the Jojen Reed & sister characters with Bran.  Wonder what is going to drive them north of the wall in the HBO show?[/spoiler]

No I actually read that Bran will be meeting his companions next season

I think they addressed that this last episode.

[spoiler]I think that they are going to go with the scar. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]What about that awesome battle at the Wall? That is going to be some undertaking...mammoths, giants, could be awesome if done right. I wonder how they will end S3, possibly after the Red wedding? I can't remember when that takes place in the book, I read them all in a row until I had the long wait for Dance with Dragons.[/spoiler]

[Jobydrone]

I read all five back to back so I probably am remembering stuff from book 4. I wonder if HBO is paying GRRM massive bonuses to finish books six and seven soon enough so the show doesn't have to go on hiatus after the Dance With Dragons season?

[ChrisMC]

Well, I guess that would be in 4 years...so hopefully it will be out by then! Unless they want to split another season. Of course, many of the events  books 4 and 5 happen simultaneously, so that complicates things. I think it's about halfway through Dance with Dragons that time moves past a Feast for Crows.

Right I read somewhere else that Storm of Swords takes up two seasons of the HBO show so he has five years to write two books maybe

I just do see him pulling that one off.

Odd word choice it seems like you meant to say "just don't see"
