A few things I noted (Spoilers for things upcoming in the season that the trailer touched on):

- It looks like Daario is replacing Fat Belwas in the duel.

- I like that they kept in the "Jaime reads the white book scene"

- Oathkeeper seems to, at least to my sight, have a garish gold color to half of it. Not a fan.

- Someone is obviously continuing the Craster tradition of sacrificing male babies to the Others. Is that one of the Traitor Crows?

- That Viper-Mountain scene looks like it is going to be incredible, and The Viper seems to be an appropriate enough level of latino to shut up any straggling complainers.

I read the whole third book, and I don't think
Jaime got a prosthetic hand? Or did I somehow miss that, I know he considered it in reference to the dead city watch captain's hand, but I don't think he actually got one.


Also Jon never swordfighted in the battle of Castle Black like the trailer portrayed, Jon was an archer due to his bad leg. Also Allister Thorne was not at Castle Black AT ALL at that point in the story, he came after the battle not before. (thought maybe he's replacing the one armed smith, idk)
I swear I'm trying my best

First part:
I don't know which book it happened in or how spoiler free you try to be so I'll just say keep reading.


Second part: small details like that not really a big deal. They've already shown they can deviate from the cannon details at different points but still generally get the same idea as the book / come back to the same place story-wise.

so I asked my family to get me Game of Thrones on bluray for christmas, and ultimately* I ended up with the first season special edition bluray set with a nice box and a dragon egg paperweight. The dragon egg is actually pretty sweet

*Originally my little bro could only find the DVD of season 1 not the blu ray so I returned it so I could exchange it for the blu ray and the normal edition was sold out so my only choice was the special edition.

I don't recall seeing Tyrion's dick. Only Theon's, and I'm quite sure we won't be seeing it again any time soon.

You call that lazy? I read around one chapter every month, if I fell like it.

Lol, I might be doing that soon.... :(

I'm worried because my reading of the books is so spaced out, that by the time I finish ADWD I will probably have to reread the series all over again because I might have forgotten a bunch of stuff I read.

I'm still such a fan of the series though, just wish I had motivation to read them more religiously than this.

Why would you have to re-read? Just watch/read a recap.

On the plus side, at that rate you should be just in time for Winds of Winter and GRRM's funeral

Maybe, isn't there supposed to be one more book after Winds of Winter? Like, Sounds of Spring or something like that?
