You know nothing, Solius.
I think they might do tbh. They made the Danaerys killing the slave master with her dragon thing post taking the unsullied and the attack on her earlier on in the season when she was saved by Selmy painfully obvious and I don't remember either being as obvious in the books.
Even a couple of 'off' things in the wedding itself and people will start to suspect it.
She actually only said it eight times, thought it was more tbh 
One of the reasons why I couldn't care less when she finally died.

She said it 8 times in one chapter? How did I get through it without banging my head on the table?
I'd also forgotten how sexually explicit the books are. I thought the tv people were spicing it up a bit, apparently not..

20 in the whole of ASOS. George even shoehorns 2 in after she's dead ffs.
Were they? Besides Cersei's incest and half-lesbo scenes, Daenery's scenes, Jon, Samwell and a few others, I don't remember that much sex
especially nothing on the level of that scene with the whores doing each other from Season 2 and when you consider the Loras and Renly scenes that weren't in the books...Were they?

The implications of what Ramsay does to Jeyne Poole are pretty grim.

Wait... fat samwell has sex in the book? That'll be awkward watching.
Really? Think that might be something I missed.
The fight between Stannis and the Wildlings is going to have some awesome CGI, with the giants and all.
Nah, they'll just hire the off season nba players, slap some make up and hairy costume, and we are good to go!
Can't wait til Ygritte dies. Never liked that woman. The actress annoys me more. They shouldn't have shown her naked because that proved how frail she is. No way that woman could clime the wall.
What are they doing with Gendry? He's got a whole new life in the show now. Gendry for king I say. Gendry vs Targaryen vs Targaryen vs whoever is in Kings Landing at that point.

I swear there is more times after she is dead where it is said. It felt like every time John was having doubts that he would picture her and she would say it.
Isn't there a bit in the later books where Davos is after Rickon so that he can secure an heir to Stannis's services? Maybe Gendry is going to fill that gap? (yes I know its a different kind of heir)
Davos helps him escape so I'm guessing that will happen and he'll end up back with the BWB.
Speaking of Rickon. Don't he and Osha split up from the others right about now?
I think they split up at the end of ACOK.
Not sure what they're doing there then. They're on Skagos aren't they?
Yeah, I guess they just delayed it so people might not notice that absolutely nothing is happening with Bran at the moment. Her speech about not wanting to go back beyond the wall in the last ep was presumably setting up the split.
I don't actually remember even being said where they were. After the split, they are just never mentioned again, but by a Pike who says they are gone to Skaagos. How does he know I don't remember, and Maderley sends Davos after them.
It's going to be a bit confusing if/when She fecks off with Rickon because he hasn't even been in any of their scenes for ages. Those with low attention spans will be "where the feck did that kid come from?"
That was the "North Remembers" chapter wasn't it? The highlight of ADWD.
Yeah I think it was Wex who was up in the tree during the sacking of Winterfell. He told them Rickon was on Skagos. Davos has been sent to find him. I can't remember how Davos/Stannis knew though.
So I've gone and got the first book because my mates won't shut up about it. Are they that good? I've seen the first two episodes of the TV series but it didn't grip me, though I've been told I must persist with it (I realise there's a separate thread for that, but just thought I'd mention).
Also Cina probably hates the third book.

Yup first three are amazing. I'd whizz through the books before watching the TV series and I'd stay completely out of this thread as well. Feel free to google a recap / synopsis of the 5th book if you get bored like I ended up doing, you won't miss anything.
Nah, the third book is the best of them all.
Four is the shittest, or five, hard to decide.
I think I found five shitter because when reading the fourth I was still high from the previous three so read it pretty quickly.
How many are there? I thought there were only 3. Are they easy to read?
There are five of them and you can easily get lost and confused amid all the characters that Martin parades in front of you.
It's not a "hard read" though, the first three books fly by, they are quite gripping and all. After A Storm of Swords the series become a fecking drag though.
Five (six if you count the fact that three is split into two books), and two more still to come, if he doesn't die.
Ok thanks guys. I'm humbled you both took time out of your lives to answer a question I had.
feck off back to 24. I thought this was the one place I could complain about a TV show without having to put up with you.
I count it as 7, the editions of ADWD I got were split into 2 as well.
Well yeah but A Storm of Swords and A Dance With Dragons are both meant to be one book. Pretty sure Martin himself has said the series would be 7 novels (with Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring to come), so he clearly sees each as one instalment.
So will joffrey die this season as well? Think it might happen with them showing the leeches scene.
Nah, I don't think so. They just had to do the leeches before red wedding.
I hope they have the RW right in the middle of Ep 9. It better not be the last scene as people will be expecting something.
Yeah would screw up their pacing for next season if they did, although would love it if its the final scene of this season. No one would expect it so soon after the red wedding.
The scene where sansa wont bend down is more annoying than in the books though, and tywin should have smacked jofferey for taking the stool away seeing as he hates his family being mocked.
