Do you think that Season 3 will deviate from the novel as much as Season 2 did? Or more? Or less?

Beorning · « **Reply #301 on:** January 14, 2013, 05:21:15 AM »

I don't know. What I know is that I'd like for Season 3 to be *better*. Season 2 was somewhat... lacking.

Storm of Swords is a book with some powerful stuff. You better not screw it up, HBO!

... A squid?

Beorning · « **Reply #304 on:** January 24, 2013, 01:08:35 PM »

Yes. Squid is the symbol of House Greyjoy...

Oniya · « **Reply #305 on:** January 24, 2013, 03:44:47 PM »

They don't have any mad Arabs in their ranks, do they?

Beorning · « **Reply #306 on:** January 24, 2013, 04:18:35 PM »

Heh. No.

I'd say that the squid connection comes from the fact that they are a sea-faring house living on an island. Also, they have drakkars, which connects them thematically to the Vikings - and, in turn, the Vikings are connected to Scandinavia and the kraken legend.

You'd think they'd pick a shark or killer whale or something. Raven, wolf, dragon, lion, deer, other deer....squid.

Beorning · « **Reply #308 on:** January 24, 2013, 05:20:01 PM »

Hey, it's not that strange. Squids are scary! They are predators. Some of the squids are immense (Architeuthis) - the kraken, remember?

Plus, not every house has to have something imposing in their banner. House Tyrell have a *flower* as their symbol, for crying out loud...

Aaaaaaaaand, new trailer.

Game Of Thrones Season 3: Trailer

JohnTheGreat · « **Reply #311 on:** February 24, 2013, 06:43:13 AM »

Can.
Not.
Wait.

My understanding is this season is gonna deviate more so than season 2 but Danny's stuff already looks more interesting than season 2 but Storm is an amazing book.

Stella · « **Reply #312 on:** February 25, 2013, 02:14:37 PM »

I AM SO EXCITED
I was so cool about it up until now. Yeah. I could wait. I was fine. Bring it whenever.

But now ..... djfapoisdjfpaoisdfjpas.

SAME.

I can't stop watching that trailer x.x

Beorning · « **Reply #314 on:** February 25, 2013, 03:07:25 PM »

Somehow, I am a little underwhelmed by the trailer. But maybe it's because I'm so much further into the story, having read Feast For Crows...

jouzinka · « **Reply #315 on:** February 26, 2013, 03:50:41 AM »

I sound like a broken record, but... Mance is like... grandpa. :( I like the change in Daenerys - she looks much more confident, mature and regal in the trailer, especially when compared to the beginning of Game of Thrones, where she was a girl. This is a woman grown.

I hope to see Victarion Greyjoy this season.

Wouldn't that be season four?

An extended (and more dramatic, IMHO) has been posted by HBO:

Game Of Thrones Season 3: Trailer - Extended Version

Includes some Brienne scenes!

The new season is closing in.

So am I the only one who find Tyrion amusing?

owen84 · « **Reply #320 on:** March 14, 2013, 02:25:40 PM »

I just felt that The TV cant capture the grandeur of the book. I watched the first 2 episodes and got board.

Formless · « **Reply #321 on:** March 14, 2013, 06:36:48 PM »

Actually some of the scenes were slightly altered from the books.

I'm not exactly sure why George did that.

Stella · « **Reply #322 on:** March 15, 2013, 07:32:05 PM »

Some scenes in books just don't translate well to the screen. *Shrugs* I'm pretty pleased with most choices made in the adaptation!

Beorning · « **Reply #323 on:** March 17, 2013, 10:46:40 AM »

Two more trailers!

I love that war trailer. The next two seasons are going to be amazing.
