That fat rear end in a top hat really does know his food.
For all the food porn that he writes in this series, it's funny that the only food I've seen him write about actually eating on his blog is pizza, wings and chili.

What does that have to do with anything? Don't be a snob. I know it's mass-produced but it's a decent, simple, hearty stout. I thought that's basically what "rustic" meant.

Whilst listening to Storm of Swords I think I heard the most disturbing thing I have ever come across.

Roy Dotrice graphically describing Tyrion's cock. Pretty sure "It was as ugly as the rest of him" would have sufficed?"

That's from Sansa's POV, right? I thought it was a pretty appropriate depiction of the horror she was experiencing. But by the end of the chapter I mainly felt bad for Tyrion.

Battle of the Blackwater better be big and bloody. They pull this season off and HBO will have buzz to rival the Sopranos in its heyday. Not even joking.

HBO will chain the GRRM to his writing machine and withhold pizza before it lets him mess up their timetable. Expect the Theon chapters to look like summer camp after the starvation and torture scenes he writes in Winds of Winter come out.

Tyrion and Davos will be simultaneously knocked unconscious and the entire event will be from Sansa's POV.

Speaking of Sansa, I'm curious how they're gonna handle her and her tits in that one scene where Joffrey has one of the lame kingsguard strip her and beat her up in front of everyone. The actress is actually 15 or something

They probably just won't show her breasts and instead will have her in underclothing? You can see that scene in the teaser and that's basically what it looks like.

Cannot wait for the bread riot scene, it is pivotal from both a narrative and thematic standpoint. I think the directors will play it up given the recent Occupy movement, almost giving it an Occupy King's Landing feel. Can't wait to see the resonance there as the smallfolk show their strength in numbers against those with wealth, such as Lady Lollys and the rest of the court. Though overused in today's lexicon, I feel the term "epic" would succinctly describe this moment in literary and television history.

If he gets hit by a car, he'll loving write himself into Winds of Winter.

- Amongst the rotting roots and damp shelves, Bran found a strange book. The language was a strange dialect of his own and he read it as best as he could.

"Fevra Dream," he whispered.

"Hello?" came a nasally voice from behind. A large fat man with tangled grey beard walked from the shadows of the tunnel. "Where...am I? This isn't Santa Fe..."

The man was naked.

Bran was disgusted. "Who are you?"

"I...wait, are we alone?"

The show writers probably shat water and blood when they realized how little they had in the way of interesting stuff for the show in DWD. Just a bunch of cuts to meanwhile at the Wall, meanwhile in Mereen, meanwhile on the way to Mereen, meanwhile in the North, meanwhile... FREY PIE, meanwhile in Mereen...

Needed at least a Darkstar.

Doesn't Dany sack Yunkai in AFFC? That's the yellow city where they let her in, she buys the Unsullied, then lets Drogon melt that guys face as she orders the Unsullied to slaughter their old employers, right? Plus I'm sure there's more moments that'll make Feast a good season besides that one (borrowed the books when I read them, don't have it in front of me to think of any other ones).

Can we talk about that preview chapter of Winds of Winter that GRRM posted on his website in this thread? Or is that something that needs to be put in spoilers?
