As I may have mentioned before in other comments, I am really looking forward to seeing Edmure's wedding in the show. For many reasons I can't explain due to spoilers, but will be able to after the episode airs, it's one of my favorite events in the books. So while watching the preview for "The Rains of Castamere" I was on the lookout for anything that might reveal a hint as to whether or not the wedding would occur. Now, the title of the episode looked promising, but the preview seemed to focus mostly on Bran, Arya and Jon, but if you pause it at 28 seconds, you get a split-second shot: Edmure being carried away by women while laughing. The bedding ceremony. Meaning that the wedding will be in two weeks, and I am really excited.

Um, hi I'm new to this wiki and I was wondering why there is no plot summary for the Episode 3.07, "The Bear and the Maiden Fair". I dunno it just seems weird that its Thursday, the episode was last Sunday, and the plot summary section on the episode page has yet to have anything added to it.

It feels strange to compliment a bear's acting, but Little Bart, portraying one of the eponymous characters of last night's episode, really impressed me with his performance. A lot of the time when an animal in a movie or on television is supposed to be attacking someone, it's obvious that it isn't really trying to harm anybody and no one is in any real danger. I was pleased to see Little Bart, a trained bear, portraying a vicious wild bear very convincingly. I believed that Jaime and Brienne were in real peril. Kudos to the animal actor, to his handlers, and to Michelle MacLaren.

So last night I was subjected to a hospital waiting room, and while we were stuck in misery, "Saturday Night Live" came on the TV.

A few skits in, we noticed how they were doing a "Game of Game of Thrones" sketch.

Hello everybody, I have been on this wiki for a couple of days now and I'm enjoying reading articles :)

But I have found a problem however....

I saw on the page "policies and guidelines" that this wiki is for the Game of Thrones TV Show and not the Song of Ice and Fire (The books). Then that is suppose to mean that this wiki should be about the SHOW, NOT about the books. Sure there can be some references or something about them on notes (something small) in articles but when I read articles on this wiki, I read almost 30% of the novels in almost every article (I don't care about it). The first thing I look when I start on a new wiki is to look on its policies/guidelines/rules. When I saw it mentioned about the TV-Show and books I thought tha…

I've been thinking about the show's habit of taking relatively minor characters from the books and giving their roles to already established ones. For example, Bronn taking on Jocelyn Bywater's role as commander of the city watch, Loras not his older brother Willas being engaged to Sansa, Davos' numerous sons being merged together into the one. While I understand the idea of simplifying things for the non-book reading audience (and possibly saving money on extra actors) I do wonder about some of the choices. I honestly don't believe someone like Bronn would actually have been chosen by someone as clever as Tyrion for such a high profile and responsibility demanding position as the Commander of the City Watch, a role which even allowed his …

Being an enclycopedic type formalist (why I'm here on this wikia) I must question, then protest the lame use of the word and concept of TAME whereas it pertains to Dragons. I found this paragraph as I was proofreading for errors:

"Dragons can be tamed; Aegon the Conquerer commanded three tame dragons in battle". "The process used to tame them has been lost due to their long absence." I even located on the book wikia a sentence that said a horn could be used to .. "tame" them. This is all so wrong it makes me spit my coffee all over my keyboard.

Starting with the defintion of tame; brought from wildness into a domesticated or tractable state. Tractable? Really? Easily managed or controlled, governable, obedient?

Dragons cannot be tamed. They c…

The HBO schedule confirms that there will be a two-week break between the eighth and ninth episodes of the third season. This is due to Memorial Weekend, a big holiday in the USA. Last year the show suffered a significant ratings hit on this weekend, so HBO have opted to instead air a TV movie in the Game of Thrones slot and resume a week later. I'm also hearing there will be significant marketing coverage for the episode, similar to how "Blackwater" was trailed last year.

Slightly irritating since the UK and all other territories airing episodes close after the American broadcast, where Memorial Weekend doesn't even exist, will also have to wait an extra week, but not the end of the world :)

I had wanted to have a live chat about the shock of seeing Jaime's hand chopped off in the last episode of Game of Thrones. Unfortunately I missed my opportunity to chat. I ask about the idea of redemption and if Jaime can or will have it. I was saddened by the mean surprise of his sword hand being chopped off, he couldn't even defend himself. When he manipulated the stopping of the rape with the great warrior woman, I saw revealed a deeper sense of compassion and honor. For me, this was redemptive. Is this an irony of the story? That we get what we deserve? Having his hand cut off kills him, it takes away any personal power he had, or will ever have. I have not read the books deliberately because I wish to guess the outcomes.

Excellent! The renewal comes after a substantial increase in ratings between the second and third seasons, with Game of Thrones triumphing even despite a highly-rated Walking Dead finale.

HBO RENEWS GAME OF THRONES FOR FOURTH SEASON

Season Three Soars To Highest Viewership Yet

LOS ANGELES, April 2, 2013 – HBO has renewed GAME OF THRONES for a fourth season, it was announced today by Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming.

According to early data, GAME OF THRONES’ season three premiere March 31 on HBO topped the series’ highs, with record viewership for both the 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT) airing and gross audience across the three plays.

Have you seen the season 3 premiere yet?? I kind of felt like I was looking for more storylines to be touched on after waiting so long, I suppose there were too many at the end of season 2.... I was really hoping to catch up with Arya, Bran/Rickon Stark, Jaime, and Brienne though, all of whom do not appear in this episode. Is Margaery trying to win the hearts of the people in order to possibly... well, I don't want to speculate...

In the wake of King Robert's death, many Lords have rallied support to claim the Iron Throne, where Joffrey Baratheon currently (and controversially) sits as King. Stannis Baratheon already quelled the rise of his younger brother Renly, while Balon Greyjoy and Robb Stark have declared themselves Kings of The Iron Islands and The North, respectively. The War of the Five Kings is well under way in Westeros, but across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen is plotting a return with her three dragons to reclaim the throne for the House of Fire and Blood.

After 227 votes, a champion was chosen! House Eldysio by Grumphy won the war with 28.63% of votes. His house won with Randyll Tarly as the Hand, Oberyn Martell as the Champion, and a seat at Drift…

The question of what HBO will do once - or if - Game of Thrones catches up with the published novels is slowly becoming more pressing as the series continues to relentlessly bear down on the books ("like a freight train," according to George R.R. Martin). Indeed, I asked this very question a few weeks ago and it's becoming a common one for both Martin and the show's executive producers and showrunners, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, to be asked at Q&As and interviews.

We now have one firm answer. Benioff and Weiss have confirmed that, although their #1 preference is for the books to come out first, they will not put the show on hiatus for a year or two as some fans have suggested. They do not want to lose momentum or have to recast the younger…

Game of Thrones fans:

Season 3 is nearly upon us!! Many of us (myself included) have recently re-watched Season 2, but how much attention did you pay to the details? Here's a quiz to get your gears turning, and maybe even help you brush up for Sunday's premiere.

(As always, the quiz feature uses its own separate namespace, so it won't affect the integrity of the wiki.) Read more >

As we have seen Daario Naharis in season 3 will not show his trademark tyroshi blue beard that means that the character Greenbeard from the Brotherhood Without Banners will not show his beard or maybe the creators will re imagine his character the same way they did with Vargo Hoat that is now known as Locke.

​The main reason to why the tyroshi characters will not sport their flamboyant dyed hair may be because of the inaccuracy of dyed hair in medival time also of the difficulty to make both beard and hair in equal measures.

​The only reassurance is that at least they chose a good actor to play the role of the flamboyant tyroshi sellsword we've all been waiting to see in the series

We are SO close to the premiere of Season 3 and the return of one of our favorite shows to TV! In a little over a week, Game of Thrones will be back in our lives and we cannot be more excited! There were so many questions with the finale of Season 2, it's only right that we make a predictions blog for what is to come!

Let's do a quick recap before making our predictions! Last season, Daenerys Targaryen got her dragons back and showed that she is not someone to be messed with even if you are a sorceror or the richest man in Qarth. Robb Stark and his mother Catelyn Stark were at ends after he broke her contract by marrying Talisa Maegyr, and Jon Snow was dealing with his own troubles with Ygritte and the White Walkers!

For the other Stark child…

With Season 3 premiering at the end of the month, we're getting more and more Game of Thrones treats--and we are definitely not complaining! Instead of the dragons theme that we've been seeing everywhere, Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen have made it to the cover of Entertainment Weekly and fans got to see two exclusive photos from the shoot on Facebook!

First of all, if you haven't seen the new trailer for Season 3 of HBO's Game of Thrones, you better go watch it immediately!

Now, if you saw the new Season 3 promotional poster that was posted a few days ago, you might have been underwhelmed by its simplicity. If so, you were wrong. Just take a look out how the simple Dragon shadow can be applied to unique advertising:

For Season 4, HBO better step their game up and decorate commercial airplanes to look like Dragons. That is the only way they can trump these!

Now before all you Dany fans leap up and demand my head on a spike, let me clarify: I don't mean it'd be a problem because she'd be a bad ruler, I think she'd make an above average ruler. The problem is quite simple: Daenerys is sterile. The whole fiasco with Rhaegal and Mirri Maz Dur means that she will never again have children. If she is to win the Iron Throne, she would likely rule for several decades, then die without an heir. The likely result would then be a war of succession and the end of House Targaryen, since she's the last member of House Targaryen, so far as the TV series is concerned.

So what do you think, Game of Thrones wiki users? Could this problem be solved?

Award-winning actor Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones) has been casted for an unspecified role in the upcoming Marvel movie, X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Now it's time to speculate on which character he will play! According to Variety, he will play a villain, but one can never be too sure. We know next to nothing about the plot of this film, other than the fact that it's the sequel to X-Men: First Class.

What I'm personally intrigued by is whether Dinklage's small stature will be incorporated into the role (if not a villain, he would most likely play Puck in that case), OR if they will ignore his Dwarfism completely and just give him whatever antagonist role was already in the script. The latter option would be a moral victor…

George R.R. Martin has confirmed that he has been in discussion with HBO over an adaptation of his Dunk and Egg short stories, which are also set in Westeros.

For those not familiar with them, these short stories (each about 100 pages long) commence eighty-nine years before the events of Game of Thrones and depict the life stories of Aegon V Targaryen and the hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall (mentioned in a Season 1 episode by Old Nan), and their lifelong friendship which begins at a tourney at Ashford. Martin has said that he has plans to write anything from nine to twelve of these stories. The novel A Storm of Swords features a section where Ser Jaime Lannister reads up on Dunk's life story, hinting that their stories will end on the night of …

Seven hells! What glorious news for lovers of both craft beer and George R.R. Martin/HBO's Game of Thrones! Brewery Ommegang, located in Cooperstown, New York, has teamed up with HBO to begin releasing Game of Thrones themed beers. It is known!

A new, limited edition Game of Thrones beer will be released every Fall and Spring by Ommegang during the upcoming years, starting with their Iron Throne Blonde Ale, a Lannister-inspired beer (blonde hair, they currently hold the throne, get it?). The ale will be available in limited quantities starting in March, sold in 750ml bottles and 1/6 BBL kegs. At 6.5% ABV, it's still a strong blonde for those of you who like to drink Robert Baratheon-style.

GRRM's books are so well written I can only advise reading them before watching the HBO series. You will have a far better understanding of the characters that you love, and love to hate. They are fully fleshed out, and their back stories are paramount to understanding even the simplest of motives.

Will Champion, the drummer (and also occasional guitarist, bassist and singer) of Coldplay, has joined the cast for the third season of Game of Thrones. Champion will have a small role as 'a drummer'. Other details about his role are shrouded in secrecy.

Champion is the fourth notable musician to work on the show. Former easy listenin' crooner Jerome Flynn has a recurring major role as Bronn and ex-Blockhead Wilko Johnson is Ser Ilyn Payne, of course, whilst the lead singer of Snow Patrol, Gary Lightbody, also has a cameo role in the upcoming third season.
