Is there music during show? I swear I don't even notice.
There is a version of this song on youtube that is my favorite. I think you guys probably know which one I am talking about.

Why would we know that?
It's like the first video that shows up when you search for it on google:

I really like the other songs also but some of them may be spoilerish so don't click unless you have read the books.

I think that scene might be the past chapter in any of the books.

I liked the episode more on the second viewing, but still found myself rolling my eyes multiple times.
ALSO check out my theory: What if Cleftjaw is like, Theon's imaginary friend? So far Theon is the only person who has talked to him or interacted with him. I kind of drunk right now, but this is my theory and I stand by it.

Man, as a writer, it is fucking maddening to read some of the posts in this thread.
ASOIAF is my favorite novel series of all time and I'm loving HBO's adaption. Some of you really need to take a deep breath and step back from the ceaseless complaining about every little change from the book.
I agree that some of the changes have been for the worse, but the showrunners have still done an absolutely phenomenal job given the budget and, more importantly, the (novel) page count : TV episode ratio.

Someone brought that up over at WiCnet, but another commenter then pointed out that Theon would have to be telekinectic, because Dagmer drags Luwin out to see the unveiling of the burned orphans.
Or it's just like Fight Club and he was just watching himself do it.

the full song is very well done. i dont care for those celtic sounding other versions, they sound way too much like an irish pub song.
ASOS spoilers
Though I wonder what it'll sound like in the Red Wedding scene, the song is supposed to be sung by the musicians in the scene right? Cant sound like this version if supposed to be "live".
ADWD
Gregor probably didn't die...He was gifted to Qyburn by Cersei to do as he saw fit. We assume he died because a large skull was delivered to the Martells, but it wasn't him. In fact, we were probably re-introduced to him as Ser Robert Strong at the end of Cersei's walk of shame in ADWD as Qyburn's champion.

He did die, and his head was sent to Dorne. Robert Strong is his reanimated corpse without a head.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Where the hell did I miss that tid bit????

From a Bran dream: "There were shadows all around them. One Shadow was dark as ash, with the terrible face of a hound. Another was armored like the sun, golden and beautiful. Over them loomed a Giant in armor made of stone, but when he opened his visor, there was nothing inside but darkness and thick black blood."
I'm not sure he doesn't have a head but he's definitely a reanimated corpse.

Well... that's kind of ambiguous. We don't quite know that that's what has happened. It's possible (ADWD)
the skull was fake and that Strong still has a head. That said, Strong is ALMOST DEFINITELY Gregor.

Can we please keep the book discussion mostly limited to the two book threads here??

Yes, please get back to how bad the show is compared to the books.
Do the ADwD spoilers have anything to do with S2? I haven't highlighted them so I don't know.
EDIT: Forgot to post this last night for anyone who wants it.

At least you're one of the dudes actually marking their spoilers...geez @ others
No, I found a site where they do cartoon drawings of TV characters. The only problem is that they have a watermark across them so I've been removing them and making avatars. There are 3 more GoT ones I could do (Drogo, Jon, Tyrion) but I haven't gotten around to them yet.

Needs more giant dong. Nah, I'm fucking, that's pretty awesome.
Fun fact: Summer's name has never been mentioned. And I'm not sure if we've ever gotten a Grey Wind.

True, but can you blame Ghost for getting the hell away from Jon in the show. Dude's a dumbass.
I admit I might actually find it funny if they just stopped showing Ghost from now on.
Then years later we can look back at the scene where Ghost is walking off on his own as his last scene. Ghost is now having his own adventures beyond the wall.

Ghost was just afraid Jon would pull a knife on him during the night when they were huddling for warmth.

I have a theory on Ghost's return (which probably won't be right) ENTIRE SERIES SPOILER
We won't see Ghost again until Jon is pondering whether or not to become Lord of Winterfell.
Hope I'm wrong, because I really do like seeing the wolves for the brief seconds that they show them.
Ygritte has ruined the poor boy.
I think they have to. SoS spoilers!
His arrangement with Sansa in later episodes had much more emotional punch with him being written as grotesque
These are great. Thanks for taking the time to remove the watermarks.
I really don't understand why you'd want to watermark these like this. I mean, I get why you don't want people stealing your work without attribution but isn't it better to put them out there in a way that encourages people to share them? Yeah, you may get a few assholes who don't attribute, but putting the watermark on them is basically saying, "Here are some really cool illustrations that no one will want to share because they have these ugly-ass watermarks on them."

Nice work!
To be honest, outside of a few wolf dreams and a scene or two in Storm, the wolves kind of lost their importance in the books as well.

Amy Poehler meeting NCW at the Peabody Awards thing yesterday. She's apparently a big GoT nerd and the show gets mentioned all the time on P&R.
Last note: Yes, the A Song of Ice and Fire -- **Unmarked Spoilers For All Books including ADWD** is a good choice for discussing things from much later in the series. The thread has been pretty active lately.
Awesome. Funny to get that tip about this version and then a few hours later we're all listening to it. Gotta love the internet sometimes.
:O That would be pretty cool.
Ghost got North of the Wall and decided to bail? :lol ACoK
Will be interesting to see if Ghost shows up for the Jon - Qhorin stuff at the end of the season. I hope he does...

Maybe the series will have a bigger budget by then! (I have no idea how TV budgets work)
I kind of understand. I can't read the language on that site so I don't know their situation.
I watermark some of my stuff as samples. But I do it because I also do commissions and stuff. So it's not really about stealing/spreading the work.
I haven't read in a very long time, so maybe it's one of those things. My memory is bad. I probably just gave them more credit than they should get just because I think the idea was really cool.
I always pictured Ghost by Jon's side basically constantly.
Same with Robb and that's why [forget which book spoiler]
when he was being "warned" by his wolf and he didn't listen, it was more impactful when he got murdered
Note: I have not read ADWD. That MMP will come out some day!
No problem, I'll probably do the other 3 GoT ones later today.
I did the whole set of True Blood ones and they'll be showing up in the S5 thread in a couple of weeks. I cut the height on the TB ones so they would be bigger though.

True but... ENTIRE SERIES SPOILER
I'll bet they play big roles in what's coming up. Summer will probably just completely become Summer as he'll probably never leave where he currently is. Shaggydog on Skagos will be awesome. And the biggest of all is Jon and Ghost. Will we maybe get Ghost chapters? That'd be awesome. They've lost some of their importance, but so have the Starks. Hopefully this changes.
bengraven

Yeah, since (SERIES DON'T FUCKING CLICK PEOPLE)
technically all the Stark kids are wargs. I can see Rickon learning to warg on Skagos. I'd like to see Sansa start doing it suddenly - maybe she starts controlling Nymeria in the riverlands to help her protect the Vale, which obviously will cause more tension with assassin Arya when she returns. And basically every Bran chapter begins with him warging into Summer- I can see him controlling more than just Summer in the future though...we've speculated on what.

MORE ENTIRE SERIES SPOILERS OF THE TYPE YOU DON'T WANT TO FUCKING READ
They can warg into whatever, so long as Martin never forces us to read about animal sex again.

Seems most of the season 2 soundtrack has found its way to youtube. Don't listen to the last track if you don't want to be spoiled, but the oooh that last track...

May contain jokes =>
SERIES
I dunno, I wouldn't be shocked if Sansa never wargs into anything. Maybe losing Lady was a lot more meaningful than it appeared to be.
Regarding your spoiler (spoiler for entire series etc.),
I thought it was just referenced in regard to someone who promptly died, and didn't actually happen in the narrative of the books.
Also I guess I figured the Stark family were just controlling the wolves and would not actually turn into them, but maybe I'm wrong?

This is awesome. She really does look star-struck.
I bet Tina Fey is also a big GoT fan. There have been a couple mentions on 30 Rock this season and she is good friends with Poehler IRL.
Only problem with your post is anyone who has the YouTube Me Again! script installed sees the title of the track without having to go to YT.
No joke, listen to his voice when he tells Theon that Rodrick must die. He sounds like the devil. Pretty weird.

While true. What was there was too much.
While I don't think that's the case. I like your idea and it's plausible.
