Exactly. To everyone who is defending this change as a way to show more inner conflict for Faramir, blah blah blah: can't Faramir just be a really smart guy (which is made explicit in the books, he's especially close to Gandalf and is fully educated on all the problems that come with the ring) who knows not to play…

Chang is also mentioned/seen wearing equipment for snowboarding.
I would also add that museums are not exactly the best defenders of artifacts either. Highly publicized sales by the Getty or Met has allowed the general public to believe that things that would have been considered the equivalent of a Dixie Cup to an ancient person are "really" worth tens or hundreds of thousands of…
Yeah, I don't think they ever give the origin story of Jeor's raven in the books, but I'm pretty sure he never had one in the TV show. Which makes me wonder how they will go about doing a certain scene that's probably going to happen in this season.
Ah right, sorry! Sort of spoilery? But you never actually see Nymeria or Shaggydog die in the show, so I would hope one could also assume they were alive in the showverse as well.
Also, it appears that Jeor Mormont has a raven in his icon, although I don't think they ever showed his raven in the TV show. If I'm wrong, could someone tell me?
The chart lists Walder Frey as "Black Walder", which is incorrect. Black Walder is Walder Frey's great-grandson.
All the direwolves are alive except Lady and Grey Wind. Bran has "wolf dreams" where Summer can sense each of his brothers and sister, except when Ghost was behind the wall which is some sort of barrier.
Many of the Germans I've met have a childlike (read also ignorant) fascination with Westerns, Cowboys, and yes, Native Americans.
As an American living in Greece I can vouch that Fage is the real deal. It's the most popular yogurt brand here and people eat a lot of it. The only issue is that it's much cheaper here - $4 in the States for yogurt???? (not sure if it's imported or actually manufactured in the States). I didn't realize how big of a…
The word in Greek also refers to a gun, although it says βαρελι which is "barrel" and not the butt of a gun... I think. I don't know guns very well :P
Jaqen was already in prison when Ned was alive. Ned granted three prisoners to the Night's Watch for Yoren. The gaoler tells Jaime this in A Feast for Crows. These "special three" prisoners were obviously Rorge, Biter, and Jaqen. Syrio was still being Syrio at the time, so he can't be Syrio and in the prison at the…
You can see that they are lines of inner dialogue, therefore things that will be italicized in the final version.
Too lazy to look up who the envoy is. Who's sigil is a rooster and has a fat wife?
Whoops! You're right! Sort of. He's Xaro Xhoan Daxos. As far as I know, Xalabhar Xho isn't in the TV show.
Actually, he's Salladhor Saan.
True dat. But the TV show people don't know about Dorne yet, so I was keeping them out of the discussion :)
Yeah, if we're in spoiler/book reader territory now, then the idea that Dany is barren is really interesting to me. She could be the ultimate winner, but then she would die without setting up a stable dynasty. I highly doubt she will agree to any more political marriages (since I'm pretty sure she's being modeled…
Also, I should add that technically, Robert's Rebellion started because Jon Arryn refused to turn over his wards (Robert and Ned Stark) to the Mad King. That's when the banners were officially raised by the lords against the King.
