GAME OF THRONES Season 4

[TulipOHare]

About a week and a half to go

Who's watching?

Some trailers to keep us going:

I am at the leggings, is it just me or is there no house Martell ?
The children looks to be a really good episode, I am really looking forward to it. I think the nailed the battle at the wall, I have high hopes for the finale.

I quite like the skater dresses, would be great for a fancy dress/GOT themed party chance would be a fine thing. The swimsuits are a no for me though!

Can't believe its the last ep on Monday. Time flies.

What are we going to do for 9-12 months interim period - I could always have a baby stark (joke).

Oberyn is from house martell!!
I love their motto...
"Unbowed. Unbent. Unbroken."

"Unbowed. Unbent. Unbroken." But not Unsquashed

:( sadly not :(
I loved oberyn.
One thing I meant to ask you all...what do we think has happens to the blackfish!?

Only one more to go!

I know! So excited!! :)
Ds1 (11) keeps asking about GofT as he knows I watch it.
I was trying to explain (short version) about oberyn and his death and he has asked if he can watch the battle between him and the mountain.
Ok do you think?
He is very mature for 11 and lived battles/war etc.
I would only let him see he battle itself, nothing else obv!

I think Blackfish could make a surprise return later in one of the series? Edmure Tully is still alive also. As I have not read the books though I do not know what happens.

Is Edmure Tully alive though? Surely when he was taken off with his new bride the Freys would have murdered him too? I also havnt read ahead in the books so dont know for sure.

Would love to see the Blackfish back. And we still dont know what happened to Benjen Stark, maybe Jon or Bran will find out north of the wall.

Of course its totally your call christ but I wouldn't show it to him at 11. Its the goriest scene in GOT imo. Could he read the book version first perhaps?

I think the books are a bit too hard for him ATM.
(They get far more detailed/rambly as the series goes on IMO)
It is pretty gory is t it?

I wouldn't let an 11 year old watch the fight between Gregor and Oberyn. It's pretty gory, and there is that popping noise

Obviously you know him better than I do, but I would worry about it upsetting him and giving him nightmares.
Unless you mean to skip the very end bit ?

Saying that though, I remember watching IT, child's play and nightmare on elm street when I was a similar age, maybe a little bit older and enjoying it. It really is your call.

I was wondering about that...just showing him the spear action and fight scene?
I have sort of described the end to him so he knows it's gory (I think that the appeal!)

Oooohhhh....IT!!
I read the book and it terrified me!
Still one of my all time faves (and the reason I can't go near clowns)

Beep beep Richie.

:)

Aww I love IT. What a book!
I first read it when I was 15, and properly freaked myself out walking home from a friend's at night - imagined there was a clown following me! God, did I run

Christ ds watches GoT with me but he is 13 and has read some of the books so knows what to expect. Ds has never been the type to get nightmares over TV and film. He is more interested in how they so special effects. It's your call. You know him best.

I thought the blackish was dead but edmure was still alive? The last I remember he was locked away after the red wedding.

Edmure was off shagging his bride (with musicians playing loudly outside) while everyone else was getting killed.

I'm sure I remember one of the lannisters saying they had edmure locked up. The last we saw him was him being carried off to bed his new wife.

I think this is one of the first things I've ever watched where I have no idea how it will all end. I'm usually pretty good at guessing this stuff.

As a book reader who doesn't want to say too much all I will say is you can never second guess Game of Thrones.

To any book readers. How far through the actual books is this series? How may books are there left to serialise before Martin writes some more (George is you are listening please hurry). I have posted this sketch before but seems apt at this juncture; very funny I

In the UK, book 3 (a Storm of Swords) was divided into two for the paperback because it was too big to publish as one book, or something.

Something similar seems to have happened here - we've had 4 seasons of TV but we've just finished book 3.
