making cutesy hints about characters dying is obnoxious and you shouldnt do it

It's sad he was Sean Bean. Don't think anyone has been particularly spoilery so far TBH, I've heard the later books are dramatic and I expect that to involve people dying.

Knowing GRRM's rep for killing characters is one thing, but when you start indicating whereabouts these deaths happen, that's the beginning of some poor form. I definitely land on the paranoid end of spoilers (if that wasn't immensely clear already), because in the case of ASOIAF, I wanted those deaths to be as sudden and horrifying as Ned's was, but if at certain points in a book I'm starting to wonder if it's this character or that character, I'm not sure the actual death's going to have that effect on me.
That's why I'd hope that people err on the side of caution, because once the cat's out of the bag, that horse has left the barn.

I mean, it's definitely an asymmetrical dynamic and a possible burden for fans who aren't Spoiler Nazis Socialists, but getting specific again, this thread is for the TV show, *not* what's happened in Storm of Swords (or at least till/if the show catches up with SOS).

is the cat riding the horse? or did it scare it or?
― max, Saturday, 6 August 2011 17:23 (thirteen years ago) link
the cat beat the horse at dice but then the horse took off across the river to catch a ship before it left

Just finished zooming through bks 1-4, but have no appetite for 5 after the ball-ache of 4. That's some sub-Silmarillion world-building-not-story-telling tedium, right there.

keep reading; book 5 basically provides the asparagus tips to the plotlines of #4.

Roy Dotrice (who apparently does the audio versions) has been cast as Pryomancer Hallyne, while Hannah Murray will play Gilly.

He's not for all tastes, of course-- he totally goes for it theatrically with different voices for different characters. I love it. You haven't lived till you've heard the grizzled Dotrice act out Jon Snow's SPOILER REMOVED with the SPOILER REMOVED girl

^^^Now that's a fuckin spoiler.

Unless you're talking about channel 4 news anchor Jon Snow.

He's a p great actor too. Lotta Irish TV, primarily comedy oddly enough but he's got the dramatic chops as well.

ohboy this morning i just bought the 4-book kindle package (to read on computer/iphone because i do not have an actual kindle (yet?))so far today i have gotten no work done

i'm inclined to say just read the first three and stop, then wait for the last 4 to be finished to read together.

We bought the books, but then my (visually handicapped) husband realized he wasn't able to read the small letters. So I urged him to buy the Kindle package (for the ipad). He's so happy. :-)

spoilers dude! instead of paying attention to the nuances and character development of the second season, i'm just going to be waiting for Winterfell's milk shortage crisis. and I'll already know their strategy to resolve it!
