Game of Thrones

That makes sense, it would be the perfect part of the book to end the season on but I'm not sure if showing the whole thing would be best or not. It might be best to show up to a certain point and end the season on a cliff hanger and leave the audiences all anxiously waiting for the next season to see what happens in the end.

I expect they'll do that with somewhat more northerly plotlines.
 
I've gone through that trailer frame by frame, literally. Don't want to give any spoilers, but I'll just say it does seem we get a look at Theon Greyjoy's fate. Wow, thats going to be incredible to watch. And then the shot of Jamie Lannister grimacing in pain can only be one thing. March 31st can't get here quick enough for me!
 
* Ep. 301 – Valar Dohaeris

* Ep. 302 – Dark Wings, Dark Words

* Ep. 303 – Walk of Punishment

* Ep. 304 – And Now His Watch is Ended

* Ep. 305 – Kissed by Fire

* Ep. 306 – to be determined

* Ep. 307 – The Bear and the Maiden Fair

* Ep. 308 – to be determined

* Ep. 309 – The Rains of Castamere

* Ep. 310 – Mhysa

I'm guessing Rains of Castamere is the Red Wedding episode, Beast and the Maiden fair must be Jamie rescuing Brienne from the bear pit in Harrenhal. Kissed by fire probably Jon and Ygritte

Agreed, there have been some really hot redheads on TV & film these past few years haven't there? The girl who plays Ygritte is definitely amongst one of the hottest along with Emma Stone and Karen Gilliam.
 
New TV Spot with new footage.

"War" Preview

Stannis: I want Joffrey dead.

A very reasonable request.

Stannis: I want Rob Stark dead.

I'm starting to get the feeling that Stannis is a dolt.
 
I just love this series!
I'm also half way through book 4, and even knowing so much of what is coming this season does nothing to thrwart my enthusiasm and anticipation! The actors are so wonderful and the sets so splendid that it is most certainly one of the most compelling things available to watch anywhere!
 
The show runners have deliberately aged up most of the characters in the show. Especially the Stark children, Daenerys, and the Baratheon children. They didn't just cast older actors who look young, but the actual characters have been made older than in the books. In the first book, Robb and Jon are only 15. In the show they are 17. Same with Daenerys. She's only 14 when the books start. Even HBO wouldn't dare show a 14 year old having sex with a grown man like Khal Drogo.


Well, remember that in medieval times it was common for people to marry at age 12 and die by age 30.
 
It's not so much a question of "allowed" as much as it is whether it'd be marketable. The amount of crap they'd catch from the news media and various interest groups and such, not to mention the difficulties in actually producing it effectively (e.g. either casting actors who can play that young or who ARE that young, and the shooting difficulties it creates), would just make the whole thing way more of a headache than they'd want.

It's not like they'd have to deal with censors. It's more that there'd be INCREDIBLE public backlash against it, even if they said "But...it's medieval times!"



Side note:

Anyone got a date on when Brewery Ommegang releases their Iron Throne stuff? I know it's supposed to happen in March, but I keep checking my local distributors and they haven't put it out yet.
 
I havent heard an official date, but I think its supposed to be pretty close to the season premiere, so March 31st. My local liquor store expects to sell out pretty quickly based on demand, so I prepaid for a couple bottles.
