ORIGINAL: Chief Wiggum Spoilers Book 2 I have to say I'm of a mind that getting rid of the Reeds may not be a bad thing - Osha can act as the green dream guide and IIRC they also took the Maester with them as well (in the TV show) which will allow them to explain some of the canon and Lore of ASOIAF among other things That and I didn't really like the Reeds, but that may just have been from spending too much time with New-Agey fuckers at festivals as far as I am concerned, if the Reeds were alive in the UK today, they'd be listening to the levellers, drinking red stripe/special brew and using baler twine to as a lead for their dogs all the while talking of energies, lay lines, and the healing power of crystals. - Fuck 'em! I've just moved on in the re-read to book 3, but I was wondering what they've got to cram into 4 episodes (on book 3 of the re-read, have had a bit of marathon of Series 1 of the show in the last couple of days, it's all gone a bit wrong in what's happenned where ) I know that we have got the Battle of the Blackwater, The incident of the hot soup in the night time, Ramsey Snow(bolton) turning up to Winterfell. But there are things that happen in Book 3 that happen before the end of book 2 (chronologically speaking) so I wonder if they'll include those to ease the telling of the story. We can't be friends anymore I have no idea in what order the events that I am going to talk about occur so the following post contains SPOILERS FOR ALL BOOKS- I've invisio'ed it: I'm not too keen on Jojen, but I really hope Meera and Bran get together at some point- either with Bran being King in the North with Meera as his Queen or just generally husband/wife. I think they are going to be key though, what with them being related to Howland Reed (aka Westeros' man of mystery who knows what went down at the Tower of Joy) and some of the backstory they fill in (it would be plain weird for Osha to tell Bran the story of the Knight of the Laughing Tree). The Crannogmen are so interesting- I can't wait until we finally get to see Greywatch Watch. From memory I thought Bran et al initially go out, backtrack and hide in the crypts. Theon goes out looking for them and kills ''Bran'' and ''Rickon''. But shortly thereafter Winterfell is sacked- and this is when Bran et al emerge from the crypts. Luwin doesn't go with them- IIRC they meet him dying by the Godswood and then they set off on their journey proper. It will be hard to cram all that stuff into the last couple of episodes, but I reckon Jaime gets released this week. Do we know if Mance has been cast?
