It's also going to be funny to see them build up Kevan to provide viewers with a good Lannister in power, only to take him away. ROFL

I thought Bronn married Lollys and rode into the sunset to be gone forever? (it's been awhile, so some things I may be forgetting)

Is there any significance to Hodor's real name.

Those who know probably know why I ask.

Also, why was Jamie's amputation done by Vargo Hoat in the woods, rather than a Dothrok in Herrenhal?

I mean, he did while also ****ing Tyrion over.

Damn, she's awesome. Seems more wild than her "wildling" character.

Are you referring to his obvious potential lineage? Possibly, but you'd think there would be some reference to it by now. That being said, GRRM can be a sadistic bastard and drop suprises literally at any point.

And I'm thinking Hoat did it to Jaime because he feared him and wanted to break his spirit to keep him under wraps. That actually may have been somewhat explained in the books, the more I think about it.

True. I guess just by virtue of Bronn taking up Cersei's offer he betrays Tyrion. He never once turns out to be something he never was, though.

I was listening to the audiobook on my Xmas travels, and they had just arrived at Harrenhal, and the hand was definitely taken by a Dothrok underling. No biggy, just something that piqued my curiosity.

I'm wracking the brain now thinking about it. IIRC, Jaime explains to Brienne how he understands why Hoat did it, actually calling him clever for doing so (or giving the ok to do it). Might have to go to one of the ASoIaF sites to read up on it now.

And just a head's up - Dotrice's narration and the first three books are near perfect, but the guy they have doing the fourth is nowhere as good (blanking on the name. He actually could pass for George Takei, lol). Even worse, Dotrice comes back for the fifth book and is terrible, just bad. He even pronounces Catelyn's name KATE-lin. Total WTF moment.

I cannot wait for season 4.

And named the child Lollys was carrying as a result of the gangrape Tywin. Bronn is always good for a laugh.

They recast the Mountain again. This one looks like pretty good casting, the last one was too skinny.

This show really that good?

Im into settings like this and i love fantasy movies like LOTR etc. I wanna try this show out but for some reason it has yet to really grab me by the balls.

I just started watching Dexter and that's an awesome show. I also watch American Horror Story.

A couple of helpful tips.

Start watching Game of Thrones. Stop watching Dexter after the 4th season.

3. Stay out of a GOT spoiler thread until you've caught up. GOT may be one of the worst shows ever created in terms of losing its intrigue if you know the end results.
