I really like the theory that Stannis will turn into the Night's King after he is abandoned by Melisandre for Jon Snow.

GRRM dropped a new preview chapter this afternoon, it's called "Mercy" and it's available right here.

I haven't read it yet but my first thought is "oh good, we needed more POV characters."

Maybe you should read it before posting that first thought.

That was a fun read... Slowly the picture forms in my head of the characters and scene since its been years since I've read the books. Any ETA on the next volume?

A bit of an issue getting to it...

Sorry about that.

The upload of the new sample chapter from THE WINDS OF WINTER created so much traffic to my website and blog that the servers crashed.
http://grrm.livejournal.com/362384.html

And apparently there is another sample:

Some of you who enjoyed meeting Mercy may not have found the other sample we've put out there of late, a new Tyrion chapter. That one is live and available with the ICE & FIRE app, and can be found at
iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/geor...570015223?mt=8

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...domhouse.woiaf

Enjoy the read.

Pretty funny parody mashup of GoT and House of Cards, from Quiznos of all places.

Agreed, but reading it I was still bummed out by how the fight ended WWE style. With the Viper turning his back and celebrating too soon...

So also judging by the episode titles does it look like they are going to off
Spoiler!
this season? I'm terrible about associating episode names to stuff like that.

Based on those titles, I would speculate that we'll see...

I would say episode 5 is Joffrey. I am really looking forward to Tywin as well, hopefully that is how they wrap up the season with Tywin and Shae biting the dust.

I am not putting this is spoilers because it is book 3...

Oathkeeper is the name Jaime gives to his new sword when he gives it to Brienne and sends her out to find Sansa.

Because of that, Joffrey has to be dead by the fourth episode.

Also, the Lion and the Rose are the sigils of the Lannister and Tyrell houses, so it would make sense that Episode 2 is their wedding.

Yea the books are so hazy for me, I figured out a few of the titles but not all. Thanks for the summary. Basically every single episode has a major event in it this season. Going to be the best one yet.

Riiiiight, I forgot it was Sansa that Briene went after...

Good, he is dead earlier that I thought. Think Zombie Cat makes an appearance this season?

Maisie Williams posted a picture on he Facebook account* with her, Sophie Turner, and Michelle Fairley, so if Ms Fairley is there then, unless it was for some sort of a flashback scene you would presume zombie cat is making an appearance.


* Of course the picture brought cries of "spoiler!".

I would also think that the last episode would include that one moment that will work so unbelievably well on TV...

Spoiler!

I have no idea. I am not using spoilers. The only thing I might put in spoilers is if I read something in one of the chapters that GRRM is releasing.
