That's just how awards work, they have to create a date range for the year and sometimes shows get cut off.
Hell the cutoff for the Emmys this year is May 31st, so technically the last two episodes of this season are not in it, but they have a "hanging episodes" rule where HBO will be able to send screeners of the last two episodes to voters in order for those to be considered.
Yeah I just read that on my reread of ASOS, and I've been thinking about where they will place some of the events (it makes season 3's adaption seems very straight forward lol) and I'm now convinced that should be the end of the season. ASOS
Starting with Jaime coming to his cell, just do the whole chapter straight through, could be the last 15ish minutes of the episode. Amazing way to end the season. Speaking of that, that's another of the many heartbreakers in that book, Jaime and Tyrion parting as enemies instead of brothers.
In most cases these awards show nominations are for a single episode of a TV series, not the entire season. So Nicolaj's nomination could be for a performance in an episode that already aired (assumedly the one where he gives his monologue about the Mad King).
From the Emmy Wiki: For most individual achievement categories, only one episode is required to be submitted.
Hmmm. I dunno. ASoS
Do you end the season on a huge "omg" moment with Tywin's death, or do you use that in the middle to late part of the episode and end with that scene with Jaime? I think they have to end it with Tyrion either way. He's the star of the book by then, and everyone is going to care the most about his storyline if they already aren't by then. I think it's best if you show that scene with Jaime and then leave the viewers with the question of "where the hell is Tyrion going to go?" It'll be a good cliffhanger. But it would be pretty badass to just end the season with Tyrion pulling the trigger and seeing Tywin take his last shit.

I think the last shot should be
ASOS
Tyrion shoots him, walks back to the room, throws the crossbow at the bed where Shae's corpse is, and says the "Guess he didn't shit gold" line.
That, or Lady Stoneheart. I think it's a much better ending in S4 than S3's.

You think it makes sense to wait that long for the Stoneheart reveal though? I know it's like that in the book, but it just seems like an awful long time to reveal that as far as the show goes.
I don't think he'll say that line at all on the show.

Well, if it were up to me, I'd delete it entirely.
And yes, it's a long time, but in my opinion, it needs to be a long time.

There are certainly acceptable variations, but I think they'll get it in one way or another.

I agree, if only because I can't remember when that line was used already and if most viewers will make the connection. They could always plant it earlier in the episode, though.

ASOS MAJOR
The scene with Jaime happens prior to Tywin, which is part of his decision to kill Tywin I think, his final "fuck this family" once he learns that even Jaime's lied to him, the one family member that he was close with.
I don't know I was reading that chapter last night and I thought it would be amazing to see that as one continuous sequence on screen. I kind of pictured the last scene actually being after he kills him though, a shot of Tyrion floating out in a little boat in the dead of the night, pulling back for a wide shot of the little boat bobbing in the water.
I also think that they should do the trial by combat no later than the end of episode 8, let Tyrion be in the black cell for a bit (similar to Ned).

Season 1, but spoilered for context
Robb says something along the lines of "seeing if Tywin really does shit gold" to the scout he sends back to Twyin in 108
"God's Beard!"

Just read a recap of episode 5, can't believe I forgot how different the book was. I like pretty much all the changes, too.
ASOS
ASOS
Especially getting rid of Ser Dontos and having Shireen being Davos' teacher. I totally thought the Barristan/Jorah and Tyrion/Olenna conversations were from the book they were so good.
Okay, so i have been spoiled a shit-ton of stuff from the books (Youtube comments, dick friends, and curiosity is a bitch) I just want to see if the show would still be enjoyable even though it has already been spoiled. Mind you i don't know from what book these spoilers are from:
Some of them might not be true, though. Could someone clarify if there is any more "Holy shit!" moments waiting for me?
1- L+R=J
2- Jon Snow, Joffry, Tywin, Rob, and his mother are dead.
3- Something happens to bran that makes him unable to have children (Nights Watch?).
4- Little finger kidnapes sansa.
5- Red wedding.
6- The Starks would never meet.
7- Margery is going to marry that Joffrys little brother

There are some.
And if it helps, some of that is speculation.
Also (unrelated) ASOS
I don't think the Trial will be Episode 9 of S4. Even though it was the biggest moment in the book (hell, series) to me, I doubt they'll give it the biggest episode of the Season. It'll probably be the battle at the Wall.

[Series]
If they're really smart, they use a bit of creative adaptation and have Arianne in King's Landing with Oberyn while the Purple Wedding and Tyrion's trial are going down. Have her return to Dorne full of fury and with the sympathy of the audience after the trial, and go from there.
As for the Iron Islands, there really is no reason why we can't be introduced to Euron, Victarion and Damphair in season 4. If the show is to rely on these two sets of characters as much as the books do, they need to be properly seeded and loved first.

They are mostly ASOS spoilers with some speculation sprinkled in. So you've got a bunch of big scenes from this season and the next one spoiled. But don't worry, there's an another bunch of "holy shit" moments that you didn't list there.

Some of these are not true, some are just speculations. And yes there are other big moments.

There are only 2 things on that list I would call true.
Regarding #1
Series
There have been several plausible theories as to Jon's parentage in the books, most of which have some merit. L+R is a very popular theory but is not in any way confirmed.
Hahaha, I actually pronounced that A Song of Fice and Ire in my head without noticing
Fucking tit.s.
LAUGHTREY
Modesty becomes a woman
I didn't know Lady Olenna was in S2.
That saddened me and made me realize how tragic a character Tyrion really is. The only person in the whole world to have ever genuinely loved him, to ever have actually cared for him was Jaime and then he finds out about what actually happened and how Jaime was involved and how he'd lied to him. Killing Shae and Tywin must have been cathartic to say the least
Pretty amazing.

Someone should recommend to the no-Books thread to just abandon the internet for a few weeks. People are going to be assholes with real and fake spoilers.

My favourite part of ASOS, for all the things that came from nowhere, that one made my jaw drop the hardest.

Ughh, I cannot WAIT for the ASOS
Dialog between Jon and Stannis on top of the Wall, when Stannis offers him Winterfell

I wish he'd taken the offer ASOS
Obviously I've only finished ASOS so I don't know where it'll go but I hope that Jon ends up as the Lord of Winterfell, I thought the dream died with Robb dying and Jon refusing but with Zombie Cat back in the fold she could make Robb's wish of Jon becoming his heir a reality.
I... I kind of want to see it, at least one episode. Darn.

can't see how they wrap this whole thing up in 7 season if they're stretching book 3 until the end of season 4.

I was more referring to the whole ASOS
cart before the horse, win the throne to save the kingdom, save the kingdom to win the throne speech Stannis gives. I'm just looking forward to show Stannis doing all that stuff, from saving Jon's ass to starting to listen to Davos more
