    dunno if you've read it or not but George put up a sample chapter from the Winds of Winter that p much totally discredits Ramsay's letter (which was already partially discredited in the letter he says I want my Reek back when Theon was already with Stannis, if he had truly destroyed the army he would have known)

    in the sample chapter Theon says Bolton would send the Freys + the Manderlys along with Ramsay against Stannis, and Stannis found out about the Karstark betrayal and had Arnolf arrested. if I had to guess the Manderlys are gonna use it as an opportunity to turn, perhaps once Davos comes back from Skagos with Rickon, and the Freys are gonna be annihilated between them and Stannis's forces

    sure hope so anyways those god damn motherfucking Freys
    Awesome, didn't know he posted a chapter. Seriously makes me unable to wait for book 6 even more. That said....

    Spoiler: show
    When we last left book 5, Stannis looked like he was about to die, I wonder what village he randomly found? Also, I can't see Davos coming back that quickly with Rickon, from the sound of things when he left Manderly to find Rickon, that's going to be many a chapter in of itself (or so I hope). Also the last lines, am I reaching that it's probably Bran speaking through them saying "tree" and "Theon"?


    Hmm maybe this is better discussion for the book thread?

    Melisandre seems totally different from what I pictured. Mannerisms aside, I though she had a somewhat darker complexion?

    Edit: Also I thought Stannis was a bit older, gray hair and balding or

    I always imagined her to look like Kate Mara.

    he is nearly bald and pretty gaunt to start with but he really starts wasting away, aging, losing weight, etc, once the shadow babies start coming

    plain.
    I feel the same way. But I know this season will be great.

    I imagine the characters as being much older when reading the series, but they're actually all very young. That being said, Davos and Stannis still need to be switched.

    I don't have a problem with Stannis, he is pretty much how I pictured him. Guess I am alone on that one.

    I'm totally okay with it, makes sense to me for a few spoilery reasons. They've done such a good job on the whole with casting that I'm not really willing to get nitpicky about anything unless they turn out to be horrible at their character.

    Shae I will agree with, but I dunno I always saw Stannis with a huge napoleon complex. A tiny little man who is super mad that his brother took his GI Joe when he was little and has been living his whole life with all that hatred and angst. Maybe that changes sometime after the mid point of book 3 which is where I am.

    What were people's problems with Shae? I watched the show before reading the books, but I didn't remember anything glaringly wrong with her after reading the books. Spoiler if necessary.

    In the show, Shae is deliberately portrayed as a mysterious, exotic woman who defies all of Tyrion's expectations of a whore.

    In the book,

    Spoiler: show
    Shae is essentially described as the prototypical ditzy whore, as far as I remember, with a penchant for lavish clothing and jewelry. She isn't shown to possess very much guile or independence of thought, and Tyrion later inwardly concedes that he willfully mistook her avarice for ardor.

    Fair enough point. I guess I just didn't remember her from the show that well or for whatever reason it went over my head.
