I didn't think anybody could get me to read another damn novel. Watching GOT might get'r'done. Season three has all kinda nasties, from A Storm of Swords:
'Game of Thrones' Season 3 Will Be Worth the Wait & Here's Why | The Stir
Since the plot is so jam-packed, the third season may even be split up into two parts. I say the more attention they can pay to this story, the better! EW has also come out with new characters for season 3, and here are five things I'm looking forward to seeing most.
1. The Red Wedding- you betcha, making amends is dangerous, when you try to
2. More Zombies and Samwell- what about Samwell isn't just more than a mouthful
3. Jaime and Brienne- turns out my jokie Season X wasn't that far off
4. The Unsullied- dragon lady gets over, again
5. Tyrion and Sansa- cut across, shorty; Sansa can't get away, from the look of things, but Tyrion is going to eat shit, despite being a wee man who gets his wee-wee in there

'Game of Thrones' Season 3 New Characters Revealed - Forbes
[Jojen and Meera Reed] havent been written out, Benioff says. Its important to point out that that we have the largest cast on television right now. We introduced dozens of new characters in season two. If you hurl 300 characters at an audience, the story collapses under the weight of too many faces, too many names, and too many subplots. We need to be just as mindful of the audience members who have never read the books as we are of the readers; the series will fail if we only appeal to those who already know the characters. So we try to be parsimonious about how many new roles we introduce to the story and when we introduce them.
Good to know and, frankly, very understandable. Ive also had my worries about the speed at which season 2 pushed through the story, but that should be diminished for the third book which occupies both seasons 3 and 4.
EW.com has a list of other characters added, including Mance Rayder, Beric Dondarion, and the Tullys (Edmure and Brynden.) They dont list Ramsay Snow, but they do note that the list is incomplete. Since weve already heard the bastard of Bolton referenced in the show, I think its safe to assume hell be there. Whether thats a good thing
well that depends on what you thought of the fifth book.
Also, Ive missed out on blogging the last two episodes of the show but Ill definitely have final thoughts on the last episode and this season next Monday.
This past week I wasnt doing much better than Tyrion. Okay, I had the flu and was curled up in bed trying to break a fever, and hed been smacked down by a Kingsguard in the middle of an epic battle for the future of Westeros. But still, not really a great condition for blogging.
