Good call. I revised my last couple to specify book spoilers.

I know, I know you're absolutely inconsolable. Game of Thrones has just ended its third season and you'll have to wait until Spring 2014 to see a new episode. Well we can't exactly alleviate that problem but maybe the fact that all of your favorite Game of Thrones actors and actresses will begin shooting season 4 in just one month will make you feel a LITTLE better!
"Principal photography starts in July," confirmed wardrobe supervisor Donna Hughes during a panel discussion at the Titanic Belfast studios in Northern Ireland.
Season 4 will cover the latter half of the THIRD book in Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire' series.   All (well most!) of your personal heroes will be present once again making sure that the books are faithfully rendered to HBO's air.
With just under 300 days until Game of Thrones season 4 airs we know that the long winter will be rough for many of you. Stick with HBO Watch for non-stop coverage of principal filming of the fourth season along with all of the other great shows on HBO that will hopefully keep you somewhat entertained until Tyrion and the gang once again grace your living room silver screen.
Oh and while you wait check out some major Game of Thrones spoilers (or are they?) that George R.R Martin dropped on Conan last week:

'Game of Thrones' casts major season 4 role: Oberyn the Red Viper -- EXCLUSIVE 'Game of Thrones' season 4 directors chosen
Mark Gatiss will appear in the fourth season of HBO's Thrones. The British writer-producer-actor has written Doctor Who novels and episodes of the BBC cult classic, as well as acted on the long-running series (since 2007, he's credited to three different roles on IMDB). In addition, Gatiss is the co-creator and co-star of another Brit-based favorite, Sherlock, where he plays Holmes' dryly mysterious brother Mycroft. Now he's booked on HBO's fantasy hit next year.
On Thrones he will play ...
Well, that's something we cannot reveal. The Thrones team is keeping Gatiss' role quiet. Maybe showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss will say more at their Comic-Con panel on Friday? Also, Sherlock is making its first-ever SDCC panel appearance on Thursday (I'm moderating) so maybe Gatiss will spill something then. EW.com will bring you full coverage of both events, plus we will stream our own interviews with the Thrones and Sherlock producers on the EW.com homepage.

While Thrones added numerous new roles for its second and third seasons, population growth is slowing considerable for season four (the show already has a larger cast than any drama on television). Gatiss joins fellow season 4 newcomer Pedro Pascal, who will play the key role of Prince Oberyn "The Red Viper" Martell. Also, yesterday we revealed the list of directors for season 4.

Here's an interesting read...Game of Thrones, most pirated show of last year...Game of Thrones...top selling TV show on Amazon last year. Don't know what that says about piracy, but I think it's more that people don't want to be spoiled, download it and watch it, and still buy the DVDs/Blurays.

Imagine that - an original compelling storyline...and it sells!  :)

This is awesome!  Now, this is the payback I want to see!

Piracy operates as a popularity tax.  Typically, you see the same trend with major music releases.

That is funny!  Like Winter...Payback Is Coming..
