The problem with season three is that, if you've read the books, you know that, as long as they follow the story, season four is going to be just gob-smackingly amazing/shocking.
So, season three is just the one to get through before we get to the really *really* good stuff.
And, even further ahead, I'm intrigued into how they're going to film season 5 and 6.
as the story is split between those two books between different locations - book 5 deals purely with Kings Landing and book 6 everywhere else. Will they really tell half their cast 'you've got this year off?'

They're supposedly mixing up the story lines for both Book Three (which was split because of its length into two volumes here in the UK) and Books Four and Five for the TV adaptations
so they're following the time line in all locations rather than split ones.

I reckon they'll have to just
follow the timeline rather than the order of the books. Maybe going a little something like this.
Season 4: Rest of ASOS, maybe little bits of AFFC and ADWD.
No problem, happy to help, that's what the thread is here for. Will give as much details as I can without being spoilery.
Not likely as Robb got married in Season 2, even though he was promised to a Frey as payment to cross the bridge into the south. So a Frey would be next in line to marry him should he become single again. As you said it "All Robb would need to do is get rid of his current wife!" which is not like him
This is what started the last big war and put Robert on the throne! Dany's older brother (the prince) took Ned's sister who Robert wanted to marry. Raegar raped her and kept her prisoner. Robert and Ned joined forces and raised an army to free her but she was killed. They went on to depose House Targaryen and take the Iron Throne.
There would be some poetic justice in them getting together and putting the Targaryens back on the throne.
Dany's older brother is this the brother who got crowned in Gold or another brother.
Btw that actor is the Great grandson of Charles Dickens.

It's another brother, the eldest one, Rhaegar Targaryen, killed by Robert Baratheon during Robert's Rebellion at a ford during the Battle of the Trident.
Yep, he's there, near the end of the long trailer; blink and you miss it but he is there.
Stannis is far and beyond my favourite character.
Stannis is certainly an interesting character - he's played very well and the portrayal is very close to how he comes across in the books. He's cold, he's hard, and he's driven by his sense of doing what is right and just, rather than what is decent.
I have to say though, he's not a patch on Arya though - in the books or indeed in the tv series. Maisie Williams has done an amazing job there!

I have to agree. I love the Arya storyline and always look forward to her scenes. She's a fantastic actress and apart from John Snow's arc, I enjoy her story the most.
I disagree, Renly was probably the least undesirable option of the three other kings (Joffrey and Stannis being the others) to Robb, but he still wouldn't accept him as King of all Westeros - remember, Catelyn said as much when she went as an envoy to both Renly and Stannis.
Robb wants to be the King in the North as pointed out. He also wants his sisters back, which means he has to deal with the South to an extent, but there's no way he would bend the knee to anybody.
The problem for Robb is that all three of claimants of the Iron Throne would have suppressed his rebellion once they had united the south. The north couldn't have resisted the full might of the Iron Throne.
I agree Renly would have been the easiest one for Robb to accept as an liege. I suspect that you're also right that he wouldn't have paid homage to him. The Starks are wedded to their beliefs once they adopted it.
Stannis and Joffrey are absolute horrible choices to rule Westeros. Renly had many characteristics to be a good king; whether he was strong is another matter. Whether Westeros would accept a gay king is another issue.
In many ways, the Starks suffer from the same blinders that Stannis has. Neither Ned or Robb considered the longer term effects of their decisions. Ultimately, both paid with their lives. I don't consider that spoiler since most people in this forum have read the books.

Exciting stuff!
Finally, some Stannis and more new people!
Ahh, I'd forgotten about
So, season three is just the one to get through before we get to the really *really* good stuff.

I love the music choice ..31st can't come quick enough:cool:
Simply not true. Episode 9 alone:-

I reckon they'll have to just
Season 4: Rest of ASOS, maybe little bits of AFFC and ADWD.
Season 5 and 6: AFFC and ADWD
Then season 7 would be TWOW and so on.

"Death is coming for everyone".
Nothing more to say.
Since the end of series 2 I have been following a load of the actors on twitter.
Some of them come across as brilliant people, in fact none of them, so far, seem to be total tossers.
Anyone else following them?
Can't say as I do, any examples? I'm hoping that their levels of "bantz" are a tad more cerebral than the average footballer...
Nah not particularly cerebral, the guy who plays Loras for instance is a bit of a ditz.
The guy who plays Sam is very funny though.
Who would you recommend following then? I'm relatively new to this whole twitter lark.
Yep, he's there, near the end of the long trailer; blink and you miss it but he is there.
