Really spoilery if you want to go in knowing nothing. It lays out some next season plotlines.

Warning, Season Preview confirmed to have scenes from this upcoming season. May even give away future events if you already know what they are!

Everyone take shelter, this is not a drill!

The is one of those situations where the only people complaining about spoilers are people who already know what's going to happen because they read the books.

I haven't read the books and I don't feel "spoiled" at all. The preview was awesome, but I can't remember a single specific detail about it that stands out as anything close to something I wish I didn't see. I'm struggling to remember any details at all.

Pretty much. It's just a load of really cool scenes out of context.

Where are you guys getting the season 1 & 2 House Covers?

That shit looks awesome. I was going to get all 3 on amazon but fuck that if there's some sweet packaging of house emblems!

They are Bestbuy exclusives. Season 3 will have the Targaryan, Stark and Lannister house emblems so take your pick!

I've been searching online for the first two and apparently they don't do them anymore? Man ebays got them at ridiculous prices :(

Ah well, at least I get a cool S3 cover.

They were a limited run so Bestbuy don't sell em anymore.

Also just got these from my local Barnes & Noble!

Well, yes, if you want to go in completely fresh you should probably not be watching this, but that's a given. It's called Season 4 Foreshadowing/Preview, after all.

If you do want to check it out, it does very much lay out some of the plotlines, as gregor said, but there's no 'real' spoilers. It's really all foreshadowing. Let's see what Steely and Cornballer say.

It definitely lays out some groundwork for what our characters will be dealing with in the upcoming season.

That said I can't really say how spoilery each individual would find it. It's certainly not nothing if you want to go in clean.

HBO is using Red Wedding reactions in the commercials for the Season 3 Blu-Ray. I like it.

Got a link to it?
Edit: nvm i saw it. Hate that they mention red wedding, this might spoil too much for my girlfriend who didnt see it. The reactions alone would have been enough.

Wow I want the Daenerys and Jon Snow Figures! Which part of Cali, Bay Area?

Bay area.

I just bought all 6 (including Tyrion, which is the hardest to find apparently) in Emeryville, CA. They had some left, but no more Tyrion. They only had one when I got there, so either he is fewer per case or an employee bought one, cause I was the first to buy any -- they were still in a brown box behind the register. Mostly happy with the likenesses. We will be seeing pictures of series 2 at Toy Fair which starts officially on Monday. The figures will be:

Daenerys (Mother of Dragons Outfit)
Khal Drogo
Jamie Lannister
Robb Stark
Arya Stark
Brienne of Tarth

I really hope they do Arya justice. So many toy companies are poor at representing children via plastic :p

come in my shame circle
Whoops didn't realize the season 3 blurays are out.

Season 1 I got the Stark cover
Season 2 I got the Lannister cover
Season 3 I will go for the Targaryen cover. :D

I went and got Tyrion and Eddard Stark for his swords. Don't really care about the hound or the Walker.

Here's how the Legacy series 2 will look like:

Going to get Daenerys (Her blue outfit is so much better than her old getup!) and Robb Stark from that lineup!

Cool nice! I must get them all :) It was pretty easy to track down the Wave 1 figures, though according to B&N.com they are now sold out in all the stores in my area, so since these are a B&N exclusive for 30 days, they better get to stocking these fast or they are wasting their precious exclusivity time.

Hoping Wave 2 is not a retail exclusive but we'll see.

By the way, Toy Fair is this week and they are showing wave 1 and 2 on the show floor. Here are some pics.

Except for WoW releasing next year on my birthday. 2015 believe )':

The little history segments that you can unlock and watch during the episodes are really good for someone like me who hasn't read the books.

Welp just watched season 3 for the first time. Was only going to watch like 2 episodes but I ended up watching 6 in a row instead and finished the season. Unfortunately I knew about the Red Wedding before hand. I just didn't know who died during it. I was freaking terrified the entire episode :lol

Got into GoT at during Jan when Amazon had Season 1 on sale. Got hooked so I bought Season 2/3 :p

Going to dig deep into this thread so I can read the reactions. This was my favorite season so far :)

Fuck man. Never again!!!

hey guys how you doing

why cant you have a normal fetish like feet?

can you only get off on the despair and tears from fans you dirty old man

here you sick fuck, take them, masturbate yourself into submission over my tears

At this point I can only suspect GRRM hates the Starks and all of them will be dead by the end of the series.

God damn.

HOLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY


FUFUFUUFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

all the book readers reading this thread:
ScottTenormanMustDie30.gif

fapping with your tears as lube.

And here i was thinking this season was pretty tame when it came to killing well known characters.

Nope, fuck you! Lets kill 3 of them right there!

I hope Arya gets her revenge one day, she has a lot of people on her kill list now.

This is BULLSHIT

Why. Why. Why.

GRRM is one of this sadistic fucking writers. They did this shit with Ned in the first season and now this. I don't even want to watch anymore.

Might as well say fuck it, have Joffrey rape Sansa next episode, have the mutiny nights watch guys kill Jon, have some wildlings or white walkers kill Bran etc.

What's the point of this show? To watch our heros get slaughtered every season? To see evil win everytime? If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been watching. Good because I'm not watching anymore.

I'm done with this show. Fuck this. You invest so much in characters (and animals) just to have some shit like that happen. This is the most disheartening and tragic thing I have ever witnessed on a TV show. Aren't the Starks suppose to be the good guys? And you just fuck them up the ass like that? ALL OF THEM?!?! Even the poor wolf :( I am seriously typing in tears right now. My heart is racing and I can't stop shaking. I'm beyond upset right now. I'm not going to watch the show moving forward. First Ned, now this. Fuck this show.

when they just ran up and stabbed robb's wife in the gut


fuck man, and robb was my fave


ugh



HE WAS MY FAVE


Why the fuck would he write the book that way? Honestly.

Not a single fucking person wanted that.

There's no one to root for at this point. I suppose Dany and Bran, but that's so far out that it's not even worth it. This shit was way worse than Ned.

Fuck man.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!

I'm sitting here with a broken IKEA coffee table and catching feelings right now.

Fuck man! Why am I so invested in this?

I FUCKING LOVED ROBB!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
 

Dead

well not really...yet
I just finished season 3

I want to fucking die. Why. WHY?!?!?!

Like this is so far from being fair. Fuck everything.
 
Unfortunately, it's going to be really hard moving forward to get any purely unadulterated reactions to the Red Wedding, at least until I think the TV run is done. Everyone that might have a passing interest in it knows that something big happens in season 3, with some knowing that it's called the Red Wedding.

Ah well. It was a fun ride.

Been watching the Blu-ray of Season 3 with my girlfriend in the past few days. She hasn't seen it when it was on HBO last year. To my knowledge, she hasn't even heard of the Red Wedding.

Episode 9 will be tomorrow.

Haha, I'm jealous you get to go through this for the first time. My S/O had to endure the Red Wedding last year and I will never forget the look of disbelief on her face.
