"Queen Margaery enjoys her new husband."

In true GoT style.

Opening it up for more than 7 seasons?

NARP THIS CANT BE

 

[hodge]

Yeah when I realised that for the first time... Narrrrp

My kindle tells me I only have 10% left of the 2nd part of A Dance a With Dragons. 2 chapters and an epilogue left.

I don't know how to put a spoiler tag in my post on an iPhone, so all I'll say is noooooooooooooo

 

[Jen420]

I can't get into GOT at all, I've tried a few times now. I was an extra in the second series which was cool but I don't get the hype. Perhaps I'll try again, everyone else I know loves it.

 

[.V.]

Up to date with the books now, so I can happily click on the spoiler tags now.

 

[Smally]

They've announced the show will spoiler the books. I imagine this new series will reveal a lot more but season 6 onwards will be full on book spoilers

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

I look forward to the nerdrage videos.

 

[Jockney]

well, i'm happy, but then i'm not a mega-fan. all i wanted was some clarity, and now i've got some. cheers weiss and benioff.

 

[Cashis]

Books are still better so I can deal with watching it then reading it.

 

[BCFC Jordan]

Ruins the element of surprise, mind. Can't pretend I'm happy with this inevitable news. Will still watch the show, just wish Mr. Martin would hurry up. How did he manage to release those three early books in such quick succession?

Anyway, no doubt Dany ends up ruling and lives happily ever after, going by how the show is marketed.

 

[silkyman]

The way they kill off key characters, I'd not be surprised if she was killed in the first episode of the new series.

I think the eventual king will be Terry the binman. He's not been in it yet, but he'll be played by Mark Addy in prosthetics.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

There's a very compelling theory out there that is probably how it will end, but I wouldn't search for it unless you're prepared for what will probably turn out to be spoilers, as GRRM has already admitted that the ending has been guessed by some fans and it'll be kept as it is.

 

[Gilly?]

I got a bit bored of the last series, but I'll carry on with it. I'm curious to know where the fuck Gendry went.

 

[Ciderhead]

I'll probably hold off on the shows then after this season until after the books come out. Annoying, but understandable, and I'd rather this than GRRM rushes the last couple out at a sub-standard quality

 

[SUTSS]

Disappointing but inevitable really. Having read the books first I would have liked to read the ending first but it'll be impossible to avoid spoilers so I'll watch. There'll probably be enough changes to make the books still worth reading anyway. I do think we'll see the sixth book before the next season though.

 

[LeoRahi]

Winter is back

 

[Ciderhead]

I'd like to think it'd be possible to avoid spoilers, managed to for breaking bad until I finally finished it the other day somehow

 

[Veggie Legs]

I'd like to think so too. I've managed to not spoil any plot points for anyone for over ten years, I'm sure they can return the favour.

 

[Techno Natch]

I don't think I can watch the Series with the books still to come, it would ruin the series for me so I will have to wait until I finish the books. As long as the metro don't put a screenshot of the finale on page 3 again.

[SaddlerJonny]

As much as I love the books and think they are better than the show, I'm going to keep watching, the TV show is still the best show out there in my opinion and I don't think even the books can keep me from keeping up.

Besides I doubt too much will be spoilt this season for the book readers. Only story lines I can see advancing past the books would be Sansa's and Dany's. Sansa has already reached her book end in the show, so it is pretty much all new material this season.

Season 5 and possible future book spoiler, potenital leak! Don't click if you don't want to have either possible spoiled!

Spoiler

Apparently Grey Worm and Barristan are either badly wounded or killed during early to mid season of 5, with the Meereen storyline that took 1 and a bit books wrapping up in about 6 or 7 episodes this season.

 

[BCFC Jordan]

Book 5 spoilers.

Spoiler

I've not read the books in three years so can't quite remember, but that doesn't happen in the books, right? So I assume that it's either a deviation on the show's part, or it's showing us what's to come in the books. I know GRRM said certain characters in the show will die earlier.

Yep neither are dead in the books, at the end of ADWD Barristan is basically in command of Meereen and about to fight a big battle with Dany off in no mans land. Grey Worm is still alive as well.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Carice van houten who plays melisandre has said the show is going 'completely off the books' in season 6.

Not surprising really, the show is already starting to deviate quite a lot from the books.

The season after next? Don't worry, Winds of Winter will be out by then.

I really hope so obviously, but the author released another chapter from Winds on his website last week. That suggests to me it's still a while off being finished.
