Game of Thrones Thread
Feel free to discuss any future speculation, theories. Anything from the books is fair game to post. Everything that has been broadcast on TV or from HBO. No spoilers needed.

  1. If you watched or know the events that will take place in a unaired episode that has not been broadcast on HBO, you must put all the information and comments in a spoiler tag.
  2. Do not post any media of any kind involving actual content from unaired episodes without being in a spoiler. The only exception to the spoiler rule is content publicly posted from HBO and or the GOT actor themselves. Teasers, promos, trailers etc.

Any person unable to follow the spoiler rules will be banned from this thread. 14 days for first offense. Perm banned from the thread for a 2nd offense.

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 5 Will Kill Characters Still Alive in the Books

Death is coming for "Game of Thrones" characters in Season 5 -- even if they're still alive in author George R.R. Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" novel series on which the HBO show is based.

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 5 Will Kill Characters Still Alive in the Books © Provided by TheWrap ‘Game of Thrones’ Season 5 Will Kill Characters Still Alive in the Books
"People are going to die who don't die in the books, so even the book readers will be unhappy," Martin told Showbiz 411 at the Writers Guild West Awards on Saturday. "So everybody better be on their toes. David [Benioff] and D.B. [Weiss] are even bloodier than I am."

Martin's avid readers who watch the fantasy series shouldn't be surprised, though. Several characters have already gotten axed on TV, even if they were still alive in print.

Season 4 characters that met death on TV include Jojen, Grenn, and Pyp, while Daenerys Targaryen's handmaiden Irri was murdered in Season 2.

Season 5 of "Game of Thrones" premieres on April 12.
I don't get this. If you want to create more "red wedding" shockers, then you have Lady Stoneheart which you haven't even used.

If its to gain more book readers as viewers, thats a failed strategy. they are already watching.

Cast on leaving the books behind.

Unless it's somebody major, book readers won't care. And even if it is someone major, the books are the canon, not the tv show.

Something to muse on while we wait another 6-8 years for the next book to come out...

yeah, maybe they take some of the Stoneheart material and give it to Sansa?

I agree. Lady Stoneheart is a fantastic shocker. The scene with her trying to hang Briene is on it's own a reason to bring the character in.

Then you probably need to not watch the show.

It will probably be far easier for you if you consider the books and the tv series two different stories. One is told by the author of the books, so it's canon. The other is told by the producer of the show, so it's entertaining and all that, but it's not necessarily canon.

Otherwise your head is probably going to explode.

Just learned the coolest bit of trivia about this show... the Red Wedding was based on a true story from 1400's Scotland called "The Black Dinner".

The boy king James and his handlers arranged for a recalcitrant Scottish warlord, the Earl of Douglas, to attend a dinner that would mark his entrance as a power player in Scottish politics... only to bring out a severed boars head on a platter, a symbol of ultimate treachery in ancient Scotland.

They took Douglas into the courtyard and beheaded him on the spot... some great mimicry from RR Martin, it seems pretty clear that the bloodthirsty Joffrey was based on James as well.

RR Martin I believe has a masters in history. He is a huge history buff and pretty much everything in his books is based loosely on real events... or at least I read that somewhere.

I'm not surprised at his masters, man... cannot wait for season 5, that show has reached Sopranos level mania with me.

Sooo incredibly well done... acting, dialogue, stories, cinematography, effects... its all there in spades.

I have thought about it. At some point I'm gonna hear about big stuff that happened on the show whether I try to avoid it or not. Especially if I'm waiting until beyond 2020 for book 7. Once the show is back on I'm sure I will enjoy how well it's done as I usually do. All just comes back to the frustration of waiting and not liking spoilers.
