Goddamn. This is the kind of epic shit people have been wanting from Djawadi.
Sounds reasonable to me but what do I know.

First time I listened to this I felt like I was hearing a cross of Djawadi's score and something from Howard Shore's LOTR score.
Listened to the whole soundtrack this morning, excellent stuff. Still at times under-implemented into the show I think.

Couldn't have said it better. Djawadi did a better job this season.
He's doing some pretty good work in his various jobs. His Person of Interest soundtrack is pretty sweet.

That rumor is true btw. There was a report ages ago about CGI tests being done for that.
The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Companion Cube cannot speak. In the event that the Companion Cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice.

That's the only reason I think they might do it this week. They really earned it this season.
They murdered a pregnant woman on the show. What wouldn't they dare to do???!!!

On-screen, you wouldn't have to show that it's The Hound's weapon that is hitting Arya.
It could be like the scene in season 1, where Tyrion gets knocked out with a hammer while leading his tribesmen into battle.

That was played for comedy, and never gave the impression that Tyrion was dead. It wouldn't have even remotely have fit into the show's portrayal of the RW.

Yeesh, I already capitulated. I get it.

It just exemplifies the kind of book-complaining wankery that plagues this show. There's criticizing this show on its own merits, something that's very possible to do, and then there's this. As a criticism of the show this has literally no merit aside from "I liked this particular aspect of the book." Arya's participation in the Red Wedding on the show was plenty effective in its own right, and we've seen many people who've criticized her story on the show admit that these scenes were quite well done.

Not that it has to be exactly like the Tyrion scene. There are ways to alter the tone.
Any way they did it would have been unsuccessful, because the only way to do a fake out is to do a cut to black with a sound effect or a cut to a different shot/scene. In any case you wouldn't see her die on screen, so no one would think she is dead and it wouldn't be a fake out at all.
I'm glad they simply didn't attempt a fake out instead. It was enough of a shock without it.

Jeepers creepers. I said at least once that I've been one of the show's staunchest defenders to do whatever it wants. It was just this one thing in particular AND I already stopped complaining about it after a reasoned discussion. No need to call it "wankery". Anyone who's read my posts in all THREE seasons' threads knows that couldn't be further from my stance if it tried.

Why exactly are you taking this personally? You're far from the only person to complain about it.

When people don't quote, how are other people supposed to know they're not the ones being discussed exactly?

The very act of not quoting a specific poster is to say that nobody in particular is being addressed, rather a general concept is being commented on.
Srsly Ben. No one is specifically calling YOU out on this right now..
This.

Is there a way to like unquote someone like "Here's all the people I mean, but not this dude, he's cool."
I'm gonna wiki it...
iunno it was just cause i brought it up, anyway i'm cool about it now i guess
still kind of a lame shot they used...

I'm just complaining in general because it seems like a random person comes in at least once or twice a page to say "Hey guys, how lame was it that they didn't do the Arya fake out???!!!"
lol really?
I thought it was just me
iirc ASOS
She leaves KL like a day or two before Jaime and Brienne arrive, because they arrive around the time of Joffrey's funeral.

If they end the season by giving Dany another "F Yeah!" scene we'll need a D&D troll face jpeg.
It has to be the first time I see you criticize something, BB; pretty funny to see this small quibble's generating this much backlash
I never thought Arya was dead, but I cheated and peeked at the following chapters titles to find her name. Had to make sure. God, it was a long time ago.

Correct
ASOS/Ep 10 preview
So, it looks like that's going to be different in the show, I'm curious to see how they deal with that.
lol someone make this happen
That is my problem,
SO is brienne around when joffery dies and sansa goes missing? With Cat dead, what impetus would sansa have to go with Brienne? Maybe instead of having the drunken fool that's sansas knight in shinning armor, its instead brieene?
I really need to reread SOS :X
In the opinion of the characters of the show? She hasn't been heard from since right before Ned's ending. That's months, or even over a year, without word. I assume that most would assume she died out in the world, alone.
Only The Hound, the BWB (or at least the main 2 guys) and Gendry/Hot Pie, know she's alive (and who she is). Maybe the Faceless Man too.
Only The Hound knows she was at the Twins for last weeks events.

Okay, after the red wedding episode I want to start reading . But I really don't want to start from the beginning. Can I just start reading a storm of swords?
No, start from the beginning. There will be some serious confusion otherwise.
What the above poster(s) said, start from the beginning. It really is worth it.

Brienne and Jaimie split up. Brienne goes looking for the Stark girls, notably Sansa
Preview spoilers
I doubt that shot of Jaime is at King's Landing
Question for book readers:
I own the first book and read it about half way, but decided to switch to the show. I'm a slow reader so I generally don't like to read. After next Sunday's episode I'm considering taking up the books again.
Where should I start reading? I'm considering going back to finish the first book, then read as far as I can; however, I'd also consider starting up from where the show left off. (Where would that be?)
EDIT: Looks like this question was just asked... still would like some more feedback
