What the gently caress happens to the group at craster's in the books. are they just not mentioned? I had written them off, but perhaps that was clever misdirection by the grrm?

Coldhands kills them. Since Coldhands is cut, they wrote a new bit for Jon.

Nope. Supposedly, since Jon escaped back to Castle Black and they've lost their element of surprise, they trying to lure the crows out into the open using village raids. Some are theorizing that the show writers are going to have both sides of the attack happen simultaneously.

Those who post often in TVIV know that they definitely have to make who killed Joffrey as explicit as possible.

Bran at Craster's is kind of shite and obviously just a ploy for time to delay the tree plot, but the white walker scene was pretty sweet. Felt like it could have been a good prologue chapter to the hypothetical book six.
I think it's an effort to have Bran's group do anything besides walk through the woods until they get to the cave.

Arya going to the Eyrie instead of Braavos sounds way too lame, so I don't think that's happening. Particularly since she has the coin in the show.

They are darth maul bumps, but I'm sure their intentionally meant to be reminiscent of a crown. But yeah, HBO mucked up and identified him as the Night's King before they were supposed to.

Ahhh that's right.

Hahaha I just imagined the Wall climbing scene, a tired wildling struggling to reach the top, looks down and sees his bud just walk through the abandoned castle. "GODS DAMMIT"
Wildlings always have trouble with the Wall. Can't ever seem to find the Black Gate.

I think more of the actors in the show say "are ya" than "aria". I just popped a look at this season's premiere, the only episode where I know someone says her name, and Jaime definitely says "are ya". I distinctly remember Cat always saying "are ya" too.

I thought they were already set on finishing everything up in 7 seasons. And there is no way they will do a prequel season. People would stop watching by the droves.
Yeah, I think 7 seasons is currently the tentative plan. 9 seasons sounds more like GRRM's dream.

Feast = S5 and Dance = S6 really doesn't make sense because they've already started both Feast and Dance right now in S4.

I ask because I think it's going to seem out of place for show Tywin to be sleeping with Shea, he hasn't really shown any interest in sex, especially for someone in a show that's rife with it.
I feel like they'll need a scene with Tywin and Shae to explain that, because yeah, I think it'll seem out of left field in the show.

I mean, really, what difference would one year make? If they really wanted to let him catch up, they'd have to have a several years long break and that's absolutely not gonna happen.

The only question in my mind is: is GRRM gonna stay on the writing staff after S5/S6 and give them much more detailed info about what he plans to write, or is he gonna peace out and leave them to use whatever notes he gave them to mostly craft the story on their own?

Momentum. If the show goes off the air, people will find something else to watch on Sunday and then they might or might not come back when the show's back on.

Plus the general public, as a whole, as the memory of a goldfish.

Edit: Also the thing about the actors loving off.
"What difference what one year make?" in terms of GRRM's writing, not in terms of TV production. We're in agreement.

Show is inferior because they had a chance to show a roasted boy/girl in gruesome detail and they didn't. What a loving weak show for pussy babbies. Not to mention it stuns Kelly into realizing that oh wait she has 3 terrifying monsters she can't control at all.

Edit 2: we aren't gonna see ToJ through Treevision because there are no wierwoods in the south and it's been that way long before Rhaegar was even born. There's that one island but I think since the trees don't have eyes carved into them bran can't see through them
I'm not saying that I think we'll see Tower of Joy, but that doesn't seem to be a limitation in the show's version of Bran's power. When show-Bran touched the tree, there were scenes like Ned in the black cell and the snowy throne room vision.

You guys are naive as hell if you think HBO isn't going to ghostwrite the ending themselves and Gurm can either play ball or step aside.
I think most people have come to terms with that. If there's anybody left that sincerely thinks that HBO is gonna have a hiatus or backstory seasons to wait for him, they're being a silly person and will probably come around eventually.

I'm surprised they went with "Maybe they're going to the Vale. Let's go there." instead of "Let's search for more info about this 'Brotherhood' and try to find them." Seems like a more reasonable next step in their investigation while also being a more direct route to Zombie Cat.

Instead of her going aaall the way back, I think I prefer that theory that has her ship getting sunk and her captured by Stannis right now, and so maybe Stannis tells her next season that her dad's dead and his brother made himself king.

Those three Vale lords know Sansa Stark is there. The Bloody Gate guards, probably not.

I suppose it's possible that after her laugh, they don't believe them and tell them to gently caress off.

Sansa is pretty much in book 4, or at least there's book 4 stuff that needs to be introduced. The heir dude, killing robin, etc, unless they're just going to have her marry robin.
Heir dude: Might be cut. Revealing Sansa's identity was part of that and that has already happened. And yeah, they might just have her marry Robin.
Killing Robin: Hasn't happened in the books yet. Just some build-up.
