Given the success of the series and the notoriously long wait between seasons of HBO shows, I think they should commission Dunk & Egg movies to tide us over between seasons. Who's with me!!!?!?

Hell yes! At least some quick animated movies. Though, is Egg sort of a spoiler? I can't recall when you find out who he is in the books.

The first Dunk and Egg story reveals that he's a Targaryen prince named Aegon, and in Game of Thrones, Maester Aemon reveals to Jon that he was the brother of King Aegon. I'm not sure Martin ever explicitly connects the dots, but if you think about the timelines and Aemon's age, it's pretty obvious.

Then again, they changed Robert Arryn's name to Robin, so maybe in HBO's version of Westeros, nobody is allowed to have the same name as anybody else.

I've only read up through A Storm of Swords, though I have A Feast for Crows I had a hard time getting into it. Now with the series, and the new book, I'm getting motivated to read the series again. Is Winds of Winter Book 6? And has GRRM given a firm number of books for the whole series yet? I thought I remember him saying 7 but that was well before even Feast came out.

Keep in mind that the series was originally supposed to be 3 books, then 4, then 5, so even though it's currently 7, it wouldn't surprise me to see it grow to 8 or 9 before all is said and done.

OK, I confused myself a lot here, I guess I was really off on this and they are just brothers. I don't know where I got that from.

Tonight's episode makes me wonder how they'll handle Whitebeard. Maybe keep him in a helmet until it's revealed who he is?

Long hair and a beard? I don't think he'll show up until almost the end of the season and with the amount of new characters next season I'd bet a lot of people forget about him.
So are they going to leave out that it was Sansa who ratted out her father's plan and just leave the audience thinking it was Cersi and Littlefinger?
Speaking of Sansa, I'm really disappointed that it looks like they are going to leave out her relationship with the Hound. I thought that gave a new layer to his character and showed he's not the monster Gregor is.

Hopefully we'll see the Sansa/Sandor relationship develop next season.

Cogman also I believe stated why he had littlefinger tell the story as well, it was in some interview.

Oh and Robb's first episode where he was kind of the focus was great, they need to build up his character more so there can be a emotional connection with him before the Red Wedding.

I'm trying to remember, but How did Ghost know that there was a white walker touched dude in Mormont's chamber?
