In all honesty I'm looking forward to this more than the episode.
It's just going to be so, so nice to not have to worry so much about the non-spoiled folk. This is the BIG ONE, ya know? After this, it's all downhill.

I'm trying to think ofanother event in ADWD or AFFC but there's really nothing of this magnitude is there?
Dr. Forester you have proved me wrong. Totally forgot.
ASOS
It's going to be worse for the show watchers, because at least when reading the book you got the joy of Joffrey's death less than 10 chapters later. Show watchers won't know for almost a year.

DanceWere Jon's death legit, that would probably rival it, but no one believes it.

ASOSSome people are thinking the big event of tomorrow's episode is two-fold: Jon and Bran, Robb and Arya happy reunions. Poor saps.
AFFC/ADWDI'm trying to think ofanother event in ADWD or AFFC but there's really nothing of this magnitude is there?

The final results of the Jamie/Brienne/ Stoneheart cliffhanger from ADWD might be pretty huge too.

TWOWStannis vs Boltons as well. Next book will hopefully be the second best in the series.

I don't know... [ASoS]Yes, it'll be bad for show viewers having to wait until next year, but I recall reading the book that it actually felt like a while from after the RW to when Joffrey actually died. I was hoping he'd bite it but it he just kept living for a while after the RW.
Question for book readers. Not really about this coming episode. Just a general question. SeriesDo they lay the groundwork for Lyanna and Rhaegar (possibly I suppose) being Jon's parents in the show? I just don't recall since I read the books between this season and last and didn't really have this theory in my head before.
Indeed. TWOW sample chapter spoiler:Based on Barriston's two chapters alone it's clear the Mereen battle will be bigger than Blackwater, and told from more POVs. Barriston's second chapter basically ends before all hell truly breaks loose (blowing of the horn), but even that first glimpse of the battle is epic.
Likewise the Winterfell battle should be big. Not just whatever trick Stannis has planned on the frozen lake, but the potential infiltration of Winterfell later. I really believe Bolton's men will open the gates, thinking the Freys and Manderlys are on the other side, only to be swamped by Stannis and Manderly men - and perhaps a Glover army too, if the "northern conspiracy" theory is true

So ASOS is going to be split into two season?
Yup.
Hopefully the kids don't all have growth spurts...
lolwut. That ship has sailed.
Oh god, my heart.Please don't kill my ship, GRRM, please don't kill my ship.
SeriesMost of the elements people base the theory on come from a feverish dream / flashback that Ned had in AGOT after being attacked by Jaime. That dream was not in the show.
Etc., etc.
SeriesThat's what I figured, but I wasn't sure if they had hinted at it some other way. Was just curious if that theory ended up being true it would just come more out of nowhere for show watchers.Thanks for the answer!
I got started with this series by watching the show, and I began reading the books last month. I just finished reading ASOS a few minutes ago and was blown away by it all.
Without spoiling anything past the end of ASOS, is it generally considered to be the best of the 5 books? I don't see how it can get any better than what I just read, especially the second half of it.
It's tough to do things like that in the show. It was a quick thing in the books. But in the show, showing something like that might be far more obvious (if that's where that story is going). Much like how the show never tried to hide who Selmey was, it's just something tougher to do in a visual medium.
That's EXACTLY WHAT I AM WORRIED ABOUT THANKS.
At least with Brienne, what if she is ALREADY DEAD AHHHHH
STOP IT. No. I'm unreading that last spoiler. No.
I hope I didn't just accidentally spoil you. >.<
No no. I'm all caught up. I just never thought of that.
The end of your second paragraph gave me chills.God, I love Stannis.
Seeing TWoW spoilers is making me sad because I've been avoiding the sample chapters and I can't read those posts.
Must. Not. Click. TWOW. Spoilers.
Series
how do you do a cliffhanger where brienne musters enough strength to shout a word without revealing what she shouts? The alternative is to show her shouting that word and immediately cut to black but that isn't the same as leaving the shouted word a mystery.
Yessir. ASOS/seriesGood to see I'm not the only King's Man here.
Must. Not. Click. TWOW. Spoilers.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. ASoS spoilers, man.

Hah hah didn't even think about the PW connection. It was completely coincidental. I'll remove it just in case.
ASOS spoiler reveal: Westeros is actually Volga-Alpha 3; on a 21st century pre-Warp probe that crashed landed on the planet the humanoid natives found a book detailing Earth's medieval history and modeled their civilization after that. Enterprise makes first contact but using magic Melissandre kills the crew remotely. In the end everything turned out to be a Holodeck simulation on Enterprise-D because Data and Wesley were bored.
Sorry to have spoiled that.
I just wanted a picture of Shatner overacting.
Hahaha dude, I was just joking. If anything, by me pointing it, I've written a bigger spoiler.
