Feast is slow but otherwise interesting. When you come into it off of the adrenaline rush of Storm, it feels like a crash. It benefits when you come back to it more sober. Dance, on the other hand, is a bloated mess that feels like an editor never even looked at it, and that really comes across on a second reading when you're not blinded with excitement by every minor twist and revelation.

The whole ASOIAF saga centers around Tyrion (and a small cast of others). I'd say he's definitely a main character. But the second season underplayed him a bit, which is only natural since they introduced several other story arcs.
Blackwater visual effects = wildfire explosion
Valar Morghulis visual effects = snowed-in throne room, Dothraki tent Beyond the Wall, all three dragons in a scene at once, dragons breathing fire, zombie horse, White Walker, Walkers and wights advancing on the Fist

Pretty much this. It has a damn good shot of winning because of the complexity and nuance of those shots.

I asked for the book marker only because I actually looked at the spoiler and realized that I got myself spoiled. This does not happen in ASoS, at least I do not think he appears, seeing as how I just finished the book.

No. I don't want any more big actors in small-ish roles that lead to the writers creating a bunch of ridiculous new content to justify the salary

Nearing the end of ASoS. This book was such a thrillride, seriously. Holy shit. I only have half the last chapter + the epilogue to go. I'll have to try and form my own opinion on AFFC but people seem to dislike it so... A bad GRRM book is still good, no?
I was prepared for a terribly slow book by hearing others talk about it, but I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked it. By telling you that, I just ruined it for you. :/
As others have said, Dance is a bloated mess. Maybe you'll love it, now that you've been warned?

That seems like it wouldn't leave a lot for the 4th season.

Battle with Meereen, battle with the wildlings and stannis' arrival, Jon becoming Lord Commander, Sansa at the Eyrie, Arya and the hound's death, zombie catelyn, segue into season 5

obviously ASOS spoilers, DON?T READ if you didn't read the book
yeah i am guessing red wedding ep 9 of the third season and the jofrey one ep 1 or 2 of the fourth one
although I have no idea if they can get away with just the red wedding in the third season, with nothing to balance out killing such major characters (worse than killing them in the books imo since Robb got so much more presence in the TV show)

Sorry if posted already, but Iwan Rheon has supposedly been cast in season 3! http://winteriscoming.net/2012/07/iwan-rheon-cast-in-game-of-thrones/
I was already really hoping he would get the part for (ASOS spoilers)
so this is perfect.

It makes more sense as Episode 9. Ending the season with Robb and Catelyn being killed would be too much of a downer. You need something sort of uplifting to follow it up (I think it will be the freed slaves from Yunkai and Jon returning to the Wall)

Episode 7 is the Red Wedding

I think Dany's story will end with the sacking of Astapor for season 3. Save the rest for next season.

Actually confirmed not to be. GRRM is writing episode 7, titled "Autumn Storms", and he was asked directly in a comic-con interview last weekend if that event is in his episode, and it said it was not. He did say that his episode has a lot of rain and wind though.
Iwan Rheon cast in Game of Thrones
apparently he'll be playing a certain character that appeared in ACOK (the book) but not Season 2, but there's nothing confirmed yet.

I agree.
You need something to give people incentive to be excited about coming back to it. Especially after shitting on them like that.

Why would they do Joffrey's wedding the same season as Edmure's?

Ack, forgot I posted. lol
I guess my question then would be why the others believed his lies enough to put him on the council? I suppose its easy to pretend you are rich, but at some point, you are borrowing from someone and they're going to want to cash in.

yeah not a chance they do both weddings in the same season. Red Wedding is season 3 and Joffreys is season 4. Otherwise there's not enough to go around, unless they give us all Ros all the time. Which they may, because we really need that insight into the commoner point of view that she gives us.

That and you need the scene with the biggest impact in the episode before the finale. That way people talk about it going into the last episode and raise the viewer count.

I think they could do both weddings in season 3 and still have plenty for season 4.
The battle on the wall, Dany conquering cities, Arya and The Hounds Excellent Adventures, Tyrion's trial and escape

Mentioned several times, but never shown.
I think they will definitely break them up.

Punching the audience in the gut with the red wedding at the end of S3 and following up with Joffrey's wedding in E2 or E3 of S4 would be pretty good. The audience will not expect such a big event so early in the season. And you get them pumped up for the rest of S4.

They'll need atleast a Blackwater in the end.
ASOS
I suppose that could be the Red Wedding. I dunno, I kind of hope they'll get to the first piece of the battle at the Wall (Up til the part where Ygritte dies) and then the real battle will be the cliffhanger with all the giants and mammoths.
But if they want season 4 to be the other half of ASoS, there wouldn't be that much left to portray in it. I actually think they'll either have Joffrey's Wedding + Tyrion's Trial + Tywin's murder in 1 of the season, and the Red Wedding in the other.

True, the split where the book also splits is good, but the first half doesn't really have that much going for it. Perhaps the
turning of the night's watch people at Craster's?
