(AGOT - ASOS)
-On the show, Sam just randomly happens upon the buried cache of dragonglass weapons. In the book, it's Ghost (Jons wolf) who finds the cache and leads Jon to it.
-On the show we haven't seen or heard anything about Arya's wolf since she ran away. In the book, we sporadically hear people talking about a pack of wolves forming in the riverlands led by a supersized wolf from hell that has been going around fucking people up. When Arya escapes from Harrenhal, she spends a while riding away trying to find Riverrun, and the whole time she's worried that they're going too slow and they'll eventually be captured and taken back to Harrenhal. Then at one point, she sees a pack of wolves led by a much larger wolf and for some reason she howls at it, and it howls back. That night she has a dream like one of Bran's, in which the giant wolf and her pack completely annihilate a scouting party that was looking for Arya
When they find the direwolf mother dead in the snow with the pups around her, they pull a stag antler out of its neck. Stag = Baratheon, Wolf = Stark
A lot of the stuff regarding the wolves hasn't made it into the show yet. I don't know what will end up coming up in future seasons, but there are at least a few awesome things that I wish had been included on the show

There's a lot more going on with the wolves in the books than in the show. Hopefully some of this stuff will end up surfacing in later seasons though.
The cost of CG.
Man, this thread got so full of black bars all of a sudden. Not looking at any of them. Gonna watch it like a good little boy and see it for myself.
Its kind of crazy that the show is practically already on ADwD material for some characters. [ADwD/Series]Assuming Bran and company get to the Nightfort and pass through the Black Gate in episode 10, Bran only has 3 chapters of book material after that. Granted, they could add in more material and lengthen Bran's journey with backstory and exposition like they kind of did this year. Plus meeting Coldhands, if they don't cut him. Still, its kind of crazy to think that the show is REALLY close to outpacing the books.
Yeah, I understand why they can't include shit like that. But i'd also be satisfied with Arya overhearing a couple of lines of dialogue about how people in the riverlands are telling stories abouta pack of wolves led by a direwolf, or a scene at Harrenhal with Roose Bolton talking about how a group went out looking for whoever killed a bunch of guards and escaped, and how they later found them torn to shreds
Whenever I read about that stuff in the book I got chills. I don't even need to see it, I just want them to mention it at least once.
[Series]Yeah, I am pretty shocked that there's been pretty much zero Nymeria/direwolf content shown/discussed in the Riverlands. Of all the missing direwolf stuff that seems like it would be the easiest to do and yet has the least mentions.
My hope is that they were saving it up so they could shoot their wad and have Nymeria drag Catelyn from the Trident.
Que? I thought all the Stark kids worshipped the old gods and the new. Or was that just one line given to Arya?
Feast/DanceBut really the more of that they can do the better, since it will free up more space in seasons five and six for converting Feast and Dance.
I figured they were free to choose which one they preferred, but Sansa's the only one I remember showing an interest in the Seven. Seems weird for the King in the North to not get married in the Northern style even if there wasn't a heart tree around, considering one of the prime reasons he became a king in the first place was cultural differences between the North and the South and weddings are such important political events.

My mistake. It seems I wandered into the wrong thread. I should unsubscribe from this one to prevent any mistakes.You should mostly avoid this thread if you're not a book header, sometimes people slip up with the black bars. Check the *NO BOOK SPOILERS* thread instead.

...yet they don't seem to be given half as much significance in the show.
Also with the book with regards to the Red WeddingI don't have the book on me, so I can't recall exactly but I do remember it that way. Then when Rob was dying in the book i believe his last wordswasn't Catelyn telling Rob to go to Grey Wind?.Which led quite a few to believe that when Rob diedwere to Grey Wind, and not his mother. Yet the show brushed all that to one side as if it had no meaning. I thought things like that were pretty big to leave out.he had entered into Grey Wind
I do wish the wolves got more attention in the show. Reading the books basically makes me believe at times there is something truly ancient and almost magical about them, yet they don't seem to be given half as much significance in the show.
Except that they've all been a part of some pretty important scenes......Half? They might as well not even be in the show at all.

Yeah, I really wish they had kept (ASOS). And I still have no idea what they're doing with Ghost at this point. Trying to remember, but didn't Sam see him briefly halfway through the season? And then he just kind of walked away and we haven't seen him after that? He needs to show up again and do somethingRobb's last words the same
from the no book spoiler thread:I do wish the wolves got more attention in the show. Reading the books basically makes me believe at times there is something truly ancient and almost magical about them, yet they don't seem to be given half as much significance in the show.
Well Arya's wolf Nymeria hasn't been seen since the first season I think so it feels like they might as well have killed her off lol.
Last we saw Ghost was at Craster's Keep this season.
ASOSI assume we won't see him until reunion with Jon late in ASOS.
Haha to be fair I've read up to and including ASOS but the way they've handled Nymeria in the show is really poor and I'm left wondering if they're actually going to do anything with the dire wolves in the storyline in the TV series.from the no book spoiler thread:
sigh...
Casting news says there won't be major AFfC/ADwD plots next season. It seems like every day people post it yet provide no proof.
Even the rumors sites are saying SeriesAs far as I'm aware casting is happening right now, but with only a few characters stated as being cast, we're far from confirming that characters are OUT for season 4.
Even the rumors sites are saying Serieswere being cast - we would know.Tyrell, Red Viper, and Magnar. If Euron and Victarion or Arianne or Quentyn
Until someone can provide some type of info otherwise, season 4 will be ASoS.

The small victory here is that these women (and many more like them) went two plus years without hearing about the RW. If someone had spoiled them, they couldn't be having those emotions now.
I think things get more difficult from here. This show is too big now; I don't know how you'd avoid spoilers.
...damn.another reaction video:

LeakRobbwind looks so, so bad. That has ruined my mental image of that scene, I was expecting something disturbing and haunting not a silly furry costume from an anime convention. If that's the best they could do they should have left it out all together.
(Next Episode)Is there a picture out? I'd like to see it, though obviously I'll see it tonight one way or the other. I hope it's not too comical.
Edit:If you mean the image where it's on a horse and all tied up, nooooo way is that real. They can't have made it look that ridiculous.
LeakUnfortunately, it is real. It really looks silly, like they went to a store and bought a cheap werewolf costume.
So, [Series]Dany doesn't have anything interesting to do until her escape from Mereen, right? I can't remember anything between Yunkai and her DWD arc, but I may be wrong. Really wonder how they'll handle her in S4.
