Less than a month 'til the return of Game Of Thrones, who's excited? <spoilers>

[TrampyPants]

Me!!

there's so much to look forward to and dread

The Red Wedding, Tyrion's escape, Littlefinger and the moon door....

I can't wait.

[DancesWithTheEasterBunny]

folklore even. Fail.

[DancesWithTheEasterBunny]

I'm bloody excited. I keep youtubing all the folklaw clips to keep me going until it starts...

[SuckingDiesel]

3 weeks to go...

[SuckingDiesel]

Trampy, Kit Harrington (Jon Snow) is very, very cute IRL but shorter than I thought he would be

[Cooroo]

DP, DD and I are excited too! DD is 16 and this will be the first series we watch together - should be interesting... DP and I read all the books after series 1. I am so looking forward to Joffrey's wedding - DD hasn't read books so will absolutely delighted by the happy outcome. hope that's not a spoiler.

[Tortington]

not read the thread as i dont want spoilers

ver excited - dh has read the books and so trez geekified about the whole thing - but i am loving the series muchio lots

[dothraki]

Wow - this thread is just getting better & better (go sucking)

[CJCregg]

Is your DD Gilly's baby??

[TrampyPants]

Ooooh, did you see jon snow? Is he as lustworthy in rl?

[SuckingDiesel]

Yes, she was an extra. She got paid and everything And I got to spend time with some of the good men of the Night's Watch :) There are worse ways to spend maternity leave

[TrampyPants]

That's ace! Was she an extra then?

[SuckingDiesel]

Yes, really. Most of it is filmed locally. I know where the red wedding scenes were filmed too, although I wasn't on set for it (unfortunately).

Cast and crew were fab and looked after us really well. DD was only 8-10 weeks old when she was filmed so she won't remember any of it but it'll be a cool story when she's older :)

[TrampyPants]

I'm happy to host a GOT party!

Yes the third book is a whopper. And the red wedding makes sense as the last big story in that series, when you consider how close arya gets to cat and robb. I can almost see it.

Suckingdiesal, really? Wow! Seriously impressed!

[HappyJustToBe]

So, so excited!

[ShipwreckedAndComatose]

(the filming thing, that is...)

[ShipwreckedAndComatose]

seriously impressed by that!!

[SuckingDiesel]

As I understand it, they are splitting book 3 into 2 seasons although some scenes in S3 will be from the second part of Song of Swords.

[SuckingDiesel]

My DD will appear (briefly) in this season. We spent several days on set but only filmed a couple of scenes.

[pettyprudence]

me me me me me me me me me!

candice I had to pick up from book 3 as after watching s1 &2 I found the books a bit slow to get through knowing what happens. I then found books 3 onwards (I have lost count of how many there are) so utterly absorbing and all consuming - the level of detail and intricacies goes waaaaaay beyond the tv series.

DH is wondering if they will split book 3 in to 2 series as its a bit of a whopper (and obv sky/advertisers will want to milk it)?

[dothraki]

ThreeBee - neither do we - we're just going to have to visit those that do - watch out !

[ThreeBeeOneGee]

We don't get Sky Atlantic.

[TrampyPants]

It comes about halfway through the book, doesnt it? and its a demon of a book and yes, you are right, I have just googled. He look suitably psychotic...

[CJCregg]

Oh, oh, OH. I am barely containing myself.

I heard that Ramsay Bolton was the guy who played Simon in Misfits???

I'm betting they won't end on the Red Wedding. They seem to put the big stuff into the penultimate ep.

[ShipwreckedAndComatose]

I'm in!!
