In the books, Reek (rhymes with sneak:D) appears in ADWD, I see the tv show has moved that forward.

Yeah! :D Theon was entirely absent in book 3 and then when he finally appeared in book 5, it shocked the **** out of me when I finally learned what really happened to him during the War of the Kings period.

His POV was my best read in that book. Tragic, but comically so. I remember when he was sent to prep the lady for the groom...

To those who haven't read the books,


In the next 3 weeks, I would strongly advise against reading anything related to Game of Thrones on the net until you have finished watching the final episode of S3. I'm ****ing serious!!!!

Trust me, you will thank me later.

There are a lot of massive S3 spoilers are being posted everywhere especially on Twitter, Youtube and Facebook right now. You ask why??? Because schadenfreude/YOLO.


+1

I bet there will be spoilers of those spoilers... so unless you want the entire series to be ruined, watch out

Man, that scene was so disturbing... :(

BOOK 5 (A DANCE WITH DRAGONS) Spoiler alert!

Highlight the following text:


In that scene where Theon implied that Ramsay has cut off his manhood :mad: That's the most ****ed up ASOIAF chapter I have ever read... well, it still can't beat the Red Wedding Chapter :( I finally realized why Theon repeatedly said that he's no longer the man he was in his previous chapters in ADWD.

Let's just say a lot of people asked George R.R. Martin when the next book was coming out... :p

WHEN will the next book be on the shelves?
I can see myself camping at the bookshop at 5am on that day.

I have no idea. I'm almost done with ADWD. I do rush through them though, so I think I'm missing a lot of the finer details, but at the same time I'm not interested in reading them again.

‘GAME OF THRONES’ STAR REFUSES FUTURE NUDE SCENES?
by Kevin Fitzpatrick May 22, 2013 12:10 PM

HBO

Any ‘Game of Thrones‘ fan would attest that the HBO series adapting George R.R. Martin‘s work naturally requires a mature touch, from its sexual intrigue to the blood flowing from every direction, but has one star had enough? New reports have emerged that one of the many scantily clad ‘Game of Thrones’ stars has sworn off any future nude scenes, but who among the cast made the surprising declaration?

This past Sunday’s ‘Game of Thrones’ episode “Second Sons” featured a surprising increase in the fantasy drama’s usual nudity quotient, with both series regulars Emilia Clarke and Caprice Van Houten disrobing for intimate scenes, but one actress from the series has reportedly refused to film any additional scenes in the buff.

Reports from both The Telegraph and The New York Post feature Oona Chaplin (Talisa) making claims that an unidentified actress of the series expressed her desire to producers to be spared future nude scenes, saying “I want to be known for my acting, not for my breasts.” Chaplin refused to identify the actress in question, but most have pointed to Emilia Clarke (Daenerys) as a likely candidate, given the actress’ multiple nude scenes in the first season, compared to none in the second and the first since on Sunday night.

The series often features nudity both male and female, the female side admittedly dominating the ratio, though most seems to serve the darker, mature tones of Martin’s novels. If in fact Clarke turned out to be the actress in question, worth noting is that the star experienced a similar difficulty in her Broadway production of ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s,’ in which patrons reportedly snapped cell phone pictures of a bathtub scene.

Our own Britt Hayes has gone on record with her take on ‘Game of Thrones’ relationship with women, but what say you? Are you surprised to hear an actress among the cast voicing dissatisfaction with the HBO drama’s use of female nudity? Who do you think might have been the one to make the refusal?

Watch a preview of the season’s penultimate episode “The Rains of Castamere” below, and give us your thoughts in the comments!

I for one do not mind in the least Daenerys doing a few more scenes. Adds to the intrigue :D

Purple wedding will be next week, and not next season, right?

Think it will be in S4 because it happened near the end of Book 3 whereas The Red Wedding happened right in the middle of the book. Also House Dorne will be introduced in next season. Some members of House Dorne will be invited to attend Joffrey's wedding. A new actor has already been cast as The Red Viper.... hehehe, remember that duel scene? So hilarious :D

The dwarf duel or the Red Viper vs Gregor Clegane?

Also it's House Martell of Dorne, I believe. ;)
