i heard that they are splitting the third book into two seasons bc it's too much to fit into only ten hours of video. i hope they do it, just dont know how they are going to do that bc the first half of the book is kind of a build up and then the second half is just action packed every chapter. So it would kinda make a boring season 3 and an unbelievably awesome season 4. Plus there's not really a natural halfway point to end a season 3 on. so they may cut it into following some characters in season 3 and the others in season 4.

But the 4th and 5th books take place at the same time and are all ready separated that way( by characters). so it's gonna be interesting how they do it.

I just hope they stay true to the books for the remainder of the show bc they didnt so much in season 2 and it was kinda disappointing. Like the arya/jacquen hagar plotline. (way different.)

What were the main points to the differences between the show and the books?
Did they leave out a lot of good stuff?

all three of the "death wishes" arya/jacquen hagar" were different. The first kill(the tickler) actually is killed by arya in a pub in the third book when she is riding with the hound. She also(in the book) has to kill someone in order to escape harrenhall and she uses that coin that he gave her to do it.

The scene at the end where sam is running with pyp and grenn and the whites are standing all around him doesnt come until way later. so they'll have to do a flashback to get back to the stuff that happened before. (an awesome battle on the fist of the first men between the night's watch and the whites) this is the first time they actually see the whites.

that part where arya is tywin lanister's cupbearer never happened. Harrenhall actually gets overtaken by the north(roose bolton's men) while tywin is away. Even though they are north men arya doesnt trust them so they escape.

Two characters: meera and jojen reed are in the second book with bran and rickon when theon takes winterfell. on tv.com they have preview pics from next season and meera and jojen are there but they were all ready with bran and rickon in the book.

Also any scene with robb stark. There are no robb chapters in the books. He and rickon are the only two starks that never get their own chapters. they are just secondary characters in the others' chapters.

Dany Kahleesi Targarion never had her dragons stolen and xaro didnt have that vault she locked him in in the books. that was kind of interesting.

lots of things like that. some things the show does better but most things the books do better.

they did a really good job with season 1. it was verbatim to book 1. i just wish they'd go back to that.

//edited: Do NOT SPOIL things for others in this thread about the series. Don't be stupid either to ask for stupid shit like spoilers in a thread that is meant to be spoiler free. If, If, If you absolutely have to ask for it, then at least have the comon courtesy to use the SPOILER TAGS. If on the other hand you want to discuss the books - and spoilers without filter and mod warnings - there is a thread for that: http://www.torrentbytes.net/forum_viewt … icid=81855

edit: nvm but holy hell major spoiler alert.. good thing it got ninja'd by whoever did it.

As for Arya's Season 2 plot vs Book 2 plot w/o Season 3 spoilers.

She witnessed a lot more horrors in the books as she remained in the lowly commoner position instead of cupbearer to the leader who happens to like her like in the show. This means that her list of people she wants to kill is larger and more meaningful since she witnesses a whole bunch of people be cruel to people all the time.
As said earlier, Harrenhal gets captured by Northern men, except Arya actually helps in its downfall. And yes she must kill someone when she escapes at the end (which further darkens her character -- someone involved in the show actually specifically mentioned that TV Show Arya killing someone just wouldn't work the same way so they decided not to do it.

With regards to Daenerys Targaryen*

Essentially nothing happens with Dany of note in Book 2, she had 5 of the ~70 chapters -- the only notable thing was the House of the Undying, which the TV show butchered because (A) they don't believe in prophecy as it would complicate the TV show even more and (B) they couldn't show certain things on screen cause it would be less foreshadowing and more spoilers for whats to come (in the books since you aren't actually seeing anything you can get away with putting "prophecies" about what will happen in the future. Another notable difference is that the weird masked lady Jorah is always talking to is actually giving cryptic messages to Dany in the books.

Minor changes in the Robb, Catelyn, Theon and Bran plot

It's true that Bran meets with the Reeds (casted for Season 3) in the second book. When Bran "dreams the sea comes to Winterfell", he also dreams of his death (slightly inaccurate but for the sake of not spoiling season 3 its good enough to put it this way) -- which later makes the Theon burning those kids actually seem like Bran is dead (unlike the TV show where 99% of the people knew those were fakes). The big thing to note is that Theon doesnt kill all the Ravens, so Robb and Catelyn find out that he has killed Bran and Rickon. This is kind of important because when Catelyn releases the Kingslayer and Robb sleeps with some random doctor, it's a bit less WTF?!? because well they're both grieving over losing Bran & Rickon along with all the other shits thats happened to them. Theon's story is a bit different but can't tell you how without giving future spoilers so I'll leave that out.

Funfact changes

As epic as Blackwater was and I really thought it was an epic hour of television to watch (multiple times), the book was even cooler. Tyrion had all the smiths make a huge ass chain which he used to bar off Blackwater Bay after all of Stannis' ships passed the entrance essentially trapping them in. So when he threw the wildfire to set the ships ablaze, they got majorly fucked and the fire spread from ship to ship making a pseudo bridge in the water from broken ships. They had fight scenes in this bridge of broken ships and thats where Tyrion gets cut from the Kingsguard dude -- oh and about the cut he actually gets half his nose chopped off.
The scene where Littlefinger tells Sansa he will take her home happens before Stannis attacks, and it isn't Littlefinger that tells Sansa its someone else. This is why Sansa doesn't run off with the Hound when he tells her he will take her home. The hound is also a LOT more drunk when he sees Sansa before running away, which is why Sansa stays behind (because someone else promised they'd take her home)

^ Serious for the love of god is that not the epitome of..

Actually, someone asked about the differences that were made in Season 2, and the poster above mine's reply not only answered that but included Season 3 spoilers. I simply answered the question without future season spoilers..

I dont need TV-show only watchers to know I've read all the books, and my post wasn't a discussion about the books, there's a separate thread for that. Would you have preferred me putting a single spoiler tag? or just PM'ing the guy that asked the original question.

There's plenty of book readers and most of us dont care whether or not TV only fans know about it or not. And I know you haven't read the books, but you dont need to go ALL CAPS RAGE every time someone is curious about how the book differed from the show. See, because those guys haven't read the books either, and they don't want to go to the ASOIAF thread because that would contain all sorts of future spoilers.

The list failed without the inclusion of

Iwan Rheon being cast as Ramsay Snow/Bolton

I really like this actor & can't wait to see him on my favorite show. This guy is pretty darn talented. Not only as an actor but also as a musician. Although

Iwan is very good looking so I have no idea why they picked him for Ramsay. Guess they're going to try to hide it with make up.

I have no doubt that Iwan is going to be amazing. He's pretty good at playing creepy characters. I just wonder if they're going to tone down Ramsay's evil craziness. Yes this is cable but even they have their limits.

Just be aware that there's a comment under that youtube video which has a HUGE spoiler.
I can handle it but most of you won't.

Just don't read the posts.

they built up that kid that saw the incest couple have sex in the beginning and fell after being pushed in the first season, but why?
is he gonna be something?
he is a cripple and would most likely be killed out of charity

will be become a warg rider ?

it is like he was sooo important and now he is nothing, it is his sister we follow instead, which i assume will be very good with a blade?

Game Of Thrones Season 3: Trailer - Extended Version.
