Sigh. Don't remind me. I wonder how the average viewer will handle the next few weeks.
I don't know if I should tell my wife what happens or not.
Granted - she was reading Harry Potter, put the book down and said 'I don't believe it. Snape just killed Dumbledore'
Ok. I didn't like Harry Potter, but still...

HAH.
You obviously have not followed from the beginning.

Well after stating his side of things he does seem less the villain, until you remember he push the stark kid out the window in episode one and was shagging his sister.....
FTFY.
Jaime grows on you throughout the books... It's some of the benign characters you're watching now you'll learn to hate later.
Don't... The look on her face will be priceless.
You're in for a few shockers. The books are really good but there were times when I was so angry about certain events ... but I guess that's exactly what the author is aiming for. At least some of the bad guys pay their debt and depart in horrible, undignified ways.

Let's be honest, the cast is pretty big anyway...

It was in flashbacks in ADWD.
Ah I'm still on a feast for crows
Reek Reek, rhymes with freak!
The Theon story is a grim one. Lord Bolton is the epitome of a sadist. It gets a lot worse but I doubt they will include all of that in the show.

Not so much "Lord" Bolton... That would be Roose Bolton, but I get where you're coming from.
I think they'll have to include quite a bit, given that developments there become a major driver for some of the main POV characters in ADWD.

You may be right because Thion plays a major role towards the end of book 3.
Anyhow, I think I kind of figured out why 3rd series was so confusing in the beginning.
The 3rd series are split in 2 books. The 2nd book slots into the timeline of the 1st book, which is why there are scenes included that may not be familiar to people who have not read the 2nd book of the 3rd series. I have read the books a while ago but if memory serves me right, the 1st book focuses on everything but Westeros. Please help me out if I got that wrong.

A certain wedding incoming... :twisted:
Can't wait to see how summer children react to it.

I think as a broad overview of ASOS, the series is doing pretty well. They've been pretty accurate with all the main characters and any deviations I'd assume were to simplify telling the story visually and in ten hours.
As Ninja'd pointed out, Theon's story becomes much more relevant in the fifth book but I get why they are setting it up now... Some minor characters are about to become a lot more relevant and connecting them now is just easier. Still, there is drama on the way in the next three weeks and, much as I'd like to discuss everything here, the less we set it up, the better it will be for everyone following the story from the series rather than the books.
