Trailer Trash and proud of it!

Just saw a locally made TV ad for the Florida Renaissance Fair, and it had stylistic elements that resemble "Game of Thrones" sensibilities.

I just wonder if now the King's Feast is followed by a Red Wedding ?? Lol

Only if I get to attach a small explosive device in your brain so I can make sure you don't leak anything. Lol

Definitely the best bits of the books so far in the upcoming season, I was pretty psyched to see Oberyn in the trailer.

Makes me kind of worried for season 5 though, book 4 sort of felt like downtime to me.

I agree. It will take them some work to make it as interesting as the previous seasons.

Depends on how they do it. Book 4 and book 5 both start at the same time. They're just split up character/geography wise. So you're reading from the perspective of characters in and around Kings Landing in book 4, and then most of the other characters in book 5. Until near the end of book five when the timeline catches up and you start seeing the entire array of characters again (because book 5 is longer than book 4)

I think they will just merge the perspectives of books 4 and 5 and tell them over the course of about 3 seasons perhaps(1800 pages to cover). That way you don't have characters that are completely gone from the series for an entire season. If they didn't do that you'd have an entire season without [redacted] or [redacted], followed by one that doesn't even show [redacted] and what's been happening with [redacted] and [redacted].

*Seeing as any character can die at anytime in this series, I thought saying the names of some characters I know to still be alive in books 4 and 5 could be considered a minor spoiler. Especially since this season is just the end of book 3.

For what it's worth:

"Adaptation schedule

Showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss intend to adapt the entirety of the still incomplete A Song of Ice and Fire novel series, if HBO permits it. They envision the series to have a scope of some 80 hours, about eight seasons' worth of material. In 2013, producer Frank Doelger said that "we'll probably get through to seven seasons".

Benioff and Weiss said that they do not want to pad Game of Thrones out so as to wait for George R. R. Martin (who has taken up to six years to write an installment of A Song of Ice and Fire) to finish writing the last two novels. Knowing the broad outlines of Martin's intended ending for A Song of Ice and Fire, and concerned that extending Game of Thrones to ten seasons would kill its sense of momentum, they consider it possible (but not preferable) that the TV series ends before the last novel is published.

I'm praying this is one of the things wikipedia has wrong (or simply doesn't come to pass). Finish the series before the last book?!? OBJECTION!!!

Well, everyone knows how famously slow GRR Martin is with finishing these tomes. It could take a decade from now to wrap up.


(The only times I've found Wikipedia to be wrong is concerning volatile topics, like anything to do with anything political, abortion, birth control, religion, terrorism, yadda yadda yadda.

One can rest assured that things like movies and TV shows.......and the Discography of New Order albums are quite accurate.)

Clearly you've never read their section on the population explosion of African Elephants.
