Oooh, I've been waiting for this thread to happen! After just finishing A Dance with Dragons, I've settled upon the fact that Game of Thrones is easily and most definitely my favourite fantasy series ever. A Song of Ice and Fire is an intoxicating game of winning or dying in a multifaceted medieval world for some of the most brilliant, yet venomous, characters I've ever come upon.

I'm kind of sad that I have to wait another two years at least for the sixth book, The Winds of Winter, to come out, simply because ADOD left so many cliff hangers!

Rose Leslie is a really good actress, though her and Jon do some weird arse scheiße in the cave.   I've been hassling my friend about his supposed crush on her too, you're not alone.

On another note, I really, really like Varys, so cold, yet really he's such a sly fox, as he's been playing, manufacturing and positioning the game perfectly. One of my favourites.

Carousel, I love how you speak in Deutsch instead of English to say that.

@jediknight I do love my German words...

@Squid She's was very good in Downton Abbey, but I feel it was kind of wise on Rose's part to leave when she did, because, at least in my opinion, the show isn't as great as it once was (their only plot device now really is killing off characters, the novelty's worn off), at its best to move on to new, fresh things.

On the note of Downton Abbey, in the fourth season, when the Crawleys went to their Scottish relative's place, did you guys spot who the house butler was? It was the same actor who plays Rodrik Cassel, the master-at-arms at Winterfel, the one with the fantastic beard.

Weird thing is, half the cast are pretending to be royality in castles etc, but Rose Leslie in actual life is from a noble family and lives in a castle, yet in the show she plays a poor wildling lol

Anyone care to discuss the latest episode?

SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY!!!

PITCH Part 1 Out Now!
Part 2 Coming Soon

What did you all think of the Red Wedding? I thought it was executed perfectly, Catelyn was brilliant in the end. Also, the casting for Walder Frey was perfect.

Yes, as a book reader seeing the internet rage/despair over something that we kept secret for over 10 years was pretty fun. I braced myself for the onslaught, so to speak.

*BUMP*

I am quite excited for the coming of the fourth season. Not having read the books either, the Red Wedding came to me as a shock as well. It's that sort of moment where you go like "Did they really just do that?" But it was an excellent scene.

Some of my favorite characters at this time would have to be Tyrion, Arya, Bran, Sam, Jaqen H'ghar, Jon, and Tywin from time to time. Jaqen H'ghar is the most interesting one so far IMO, at least in the show; I don't know what's happened to him in the books.

I have read the first two chapters of the first book out of curiosity, and I got hooked of course. I will hopefully read the series some time soon.
