I've seen all the seasons before but am currently re-watching them all. I didn't think of it before, but in season 2, when Stannis attacks King's Landing and is defeated, in the next scene he's back at his usual hangout. Is that ever explained? It looked like he got captured by the Lannisters yet nothing happened. I also don't even get how large the place he hangs around in is or how he even upholds his army.
Also I can't get an image of Winterfell's full size. First in season 1 I thought it was huge, seeing how it's like the capital of the north, but the more seasons pass the smaller it seems. It got captured by 20 men? The biggest shot I remember off it is when it's all in fire and the two young Stark boys are escaping it, when it randomly appears to be bigger again.
Just a few thoughts popping up, figured I should bump this one month old thread instead of the years old thread for the older seasons

Those were Stannis' own men that were dragging him out of King's landing once they realized the battle was lost. He has a small island fortress, Dragonstone, but very little of it has been shown in the show. I don't think he has much of an army at all. Stannis has to buy one whenever he goes on the attack, in addition to whatever allies he can scrounge up.

Stannis own men dragged him from the battlefield before the enemy could capture him. And they returned to Dragonstone.
Winterfell is pretty big but almost everyone left with Robb to the south. The people who remained opened the door for Theon because they trusted him.

That makes sense, but still Stannis was kind of surrounded by Lannisters. Surprised he could slip away so easily after all, but I suppose it's possible. They should definitely have added a few scenes there imo.
There have been no big shots of Winterfell. Maybe it's explained in the book but they never mention how large the area is or its' population. I don't know, looks like it can house a few hundred people? So tiny.

I'll send you a PM answering the Winterfell question with book insight, without spoiling anything.
I know but did I really spoil anything, I think my comment is safe enough. I won't discuss the further though, just the bit about Winterfel.
You made a book/show comparison, which isn't allowed. Come over to the other thread when you're ready, and be careful and sensitive about other members when posting here.

Awesome teacher.

Well, I think it would be effective. Still wouldn't like it if he spoiled something though.

Filming wraps after the first week of December. Then post production ramps up and it'll premier in April or May.
Well underway and almost done, the show's schedule is like clockwork.
You should actually watch season 2 again. You'll find your answer there if you pay attention to Aria's story.
Filming starts in the summer, really just a few weeks after the last season ends, and goes through December.
Only three months till season 4 comes out on Blu-Ray.
Do any of you own these Inside GoT books? I am trying to come up with gift ideas for myself because my family tells me I'm impossible to by for.

Wouldn't it be in late March or early April like the previous seasons, or are they going to premiere this one a little later? I dunno if I missed any announcements about this.

S4 premiered on April 6th last year, I'm assuming S5 will come out with a similar window.
Margaery did an AMA. No spoilers, just cool tidbits off-set and hypothetical situations
The first S5 teaser from the official GoT twitter account

It's one of my favorite shows I've ever watched for sure. The Red Wedding was the most brutal and disturbing thing I've ever seen on a TV show. I mean good God. Catelyn's yell of desperation is haunting.

Not surprising given how they were damn near fingering each other in every pic the two took together last season.
I finished reading these last night. They are very nicely put together and have plenty of interesting tidbits, but I wish there was a little more information in there. There's one page where the show runners are being interviewed, and the text stops with almost a full column left on the page and I thought, they really couldn't have come up with a couple of extra comments?
The last page of the second book has a bunch of the actors saying who on the show they think deserves to die, and that was really cool. Peter Dinklage said it should be
Hot Pie.

I skimmed through Book 1 and it was gorgeous.
If I can go by the Sopranos and Deadwood books HBO put out, they're probably incredibly well written as well.
So is it confirmed? Reading their twitters and seeing their Instagram, they were definitely at least HIDING some infatuation with each other. If they weren't dating, I'd bet the sexual tension would be so overwhelming that someone on set would have to yell "JUST FUCK ALREADY".

Ouch, the kindle versions are almost as expensive as the hardcovers. Doubt the books are very good on a cheap kindle though, what with all the pictures and that stuff.

It's the sound a human soul makes as it leaves behind it's flesh body behind. She's just instantly snapped and is gone forever, even before the dagger finishes her.
Figured as much. Probably not super easy to come across in Finland but I'll look around for the hardcover ones a bit.
One other thing that stood out - the show runners are kind of bastards. They gave Kit Harrington a fake script where, when Jon Snow saves Jeor Mormont from the zombie, he gets his hair and the top of his face burned off and ends up missing his top lip. They thought it was funny to make a "good looking guy" think he would spend the rest of series wearing disfiguring makeup.
They also gave Theon's actor a fake script where Bran, Osha and Rirckon stab him to death. The pages of the fake scripts are in the book, so it's pretty cool. But very mean.

I'd like to keep the books unspoilt, thanks.
Damn it!!! What the hell is wrong with you!?
The title of the thread says no book spoilers.
... dick move, indeed. thank god i barely read the post. (i did read some essential parts, though...)
He's talking about the behind the scenes of the show books posted on the last page, not the novels.
... technically those are still books!
so: "these fake script pages are on display in the behind the scenes book" is what he meant?
and not "these script pages were fake but do describe stuff that's actually happening within the series of books"
thanks for clearing that up. Sorry for being harsh Curufinwe.
