Um, okay? I said I didn't read the books, and I've been avoiding spoilers. I was only saying that the story about his first wife wasn't "totally eliminated" from the TV series.

Oh no problem. I put the above in a spoiler box just in case. :-)

It just seems strange to me that they would handle it in this manner on the TV show since they mentioned his first wife earlier on. But they have made a number of substantial changes from the books.

Don't get me wrong though. I love the TV show as well as the books. I think they generally do a great job with it.

I especially appreciate everyone's comments on the earlier seasons as I didn't start watching the TV series until at least the second season (can't remember exactly) so I'm not that familiar with the early shows. I still haven't finished the fifth book either.

Thanks for the clarification on Tyrion's wife from the show, Spear. I jumbled it up.

I meant to add to my earlier post that I thought Tyrion was going to kill Tywin and Shae while they were having sex. Even though I read that spoiler at the beginning of the season, I was still surprised.

I'm trying to justify my weakness of reading spoilers.

I was watching a cable news show this morning, and the hosts had never watched Game of Thrones. One of them thought it sounded stupid. They described their perception of it as being a cross between "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings", and that's why they wouldn't watch it.

LMAO

I imagine their twitters went a flutter with how wrong they were about their uninformed perceptions about the show.

Jason Momoa (Drogo) was on Jimmy Kimmel tonight and they did lots of GoT talk. Hopefully the video will show up soon. It was fun.

That clip is funny, Naja. They had no idea what they were talking about. The other lady cracked me up, "I don't like draaaaaaaaagonnnssss".

I agree about Drogo.

Jason Momoa is one handsome handsome man! He was perfect as Drogo and I was sorry to see him go so soon too. Ladies he has been cast as the new Aqua man so chin up, lots of swimming scenes soon :-)

The season 5 trailer got leaked early by someone who recorded it with their camera at the screening.

Thanks for the links Naja and Dovez! I'm excited.

I loved the twisted cover of Bowie's 'Heroes' for the theme music.

I keep having this fantasy that Tyrion, Daenerys, and the remaining Starks could somehow join forces and take over everything. But I suppose that would be too happy of an ending.

I don't think that's totally impossible. It would be a little crazy happy for George R. R. Martin though. :-)

(Just to clarify for people who haven't read the books there is nothing to explicitly suggest that in the books so the above isn't a spoiler.)

Unlike last season, this season I am going in totally blind of book spoilers, so anything I say is purely innocent speculation.

The actor that plays Jaime was on Jimmy Fallon last night, and he said his whole story line this year isn't in the books at all.

Something I look so forward to, judging by the previews, is seeing major characters get to meet each other for the first time.

It's less than 24 hours until the season premiere and I am so excited!

Same here!

Interesting how they are adding and expanding things. I can see why though.

Just a wee bit disappointed when Macie's name didn't show in the opening credits. Have to wait another week to see Arya.
