    Probably change the plot completely like they did in True Blood with that black dude.

    I don't think Martin will ever finish the series, it was turned into such a mess by the last two novels. The plot is completely tangled up and the threat of the Others in the north has been completely lost in the author's bigger interest in the political wrangling in the south.

    I think you're missing the point of that. That's kind of what everything has been building towards. The others are ignored by most of the population of Westeros except for those on the wall and they are going to hit while everyone else is so worried about the throne. Also SoS had a ton of stuff with the Others, and Dance of Dragon's will have a lot more.

    This is going to be so epic... I'm on the 4th book now. I just hope the 5th comes out before the show airs. I want my own mental images of the characters when I read it, not what I see in the show (It's really hard to read Harry Potter now, for instance).

    HBO: Game of Thrones

    Saw this tonight before True Blood finale, and dear lord the wait is going to murder my face. Actually... I am so used to waiting for A Dance with Dragons that I am used to this by now.

    Teaser ... so good.

    I know this is a couple months late, but lol. It's never going to be finished

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    if the trailer aired during True Blood then maybe itll get all the vampirefags who watch True Blood to watch it, since TB is their most watched show since Sopranos..

    I started re-reading them myself on my Droid. So good... goddamn. It has been at least 4 years since I read them all the first time so a lot of it is surprising enough again. Love it.

    Love this too: "On October 10, 2010, at the New York Comic Con, Spectra senior editor Anne Groell states that Martin has announced he has five chapters remaining, with sections of the chapters already completed. She also wants to get the manuscript completed by December."

    Next year would be beautiful... and nice joint publicity for the book/show.

    Edit: I really can't say who I love more... Jon Snow or Tyrion.

    Mark Addy seems to be portraying Robert really well. I'm not sure I like Kit Harrington as Jon and the girl playing Arya seems too young but we'll see.
