I've read on GRRM's personal site, in his "not a blog", that rumors are flying that there MAY be a splinter TV series, again done by HBO or one of its lemmings, dealing with the time of "Robert's Rebellion", or the "War of the Usurper", 17 years before the current time frame.  I think this would be most excellent if true.

the video game they have for X Box is based on this.

It is terrible though, don't bother.

I finally got to see the 9th episode of season 3 last night.  A very bloody episode with a lot of main characters being killed in gruesome ways.  One more episode left for the season. :cry

Most epic show ever!

Why pay HBO for soft core when all the good stuff is on the internet for free?

I only watched a few episodes, and that's all I got out of it. But... my mind is in the gutter.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Actually Coombz, to really ruin the Jon Snow thing you should have said this:
Spoilers Below















The whole "Prince that was Promised", or Azor Ahai, isn't actually Stannis, it's Jon Snow.  AA is supposed to be reborn amid "salt and smoke" right - Remember Renly teasing his brother Stannis saying "what, are you a ham" when the fire priestess Mel brought this up?

Well, this prophecy was also to be proceeded to a "red streaking star" - which everyone thought was that stupid comet all through the first part of the 2nd book, right, and hence meant that Stannis could be easily interpreted to be AA, even by Mellissandra.

It's all wrong.  Jon Snow isn't going to die, not really.  But they do put bodies from the Night's Watch at the wall in the ice prisons sometimes - which happen to also be right where the watch has stored all of its food for the winter - salted beef and smoked ham.  Also, right before Jon was stabbed, the giant Wun Wun had taken Ser Partek, and beat him to a pulp, flinging him like a doll into a wall over and over in one of his huge hands.  What is Ser Partek's sigil - A red star on his shield - a red streaking star from all the blood flying through the air behind his sigil on his chest and shield, and Jon Snow will come back out of his coma or whatever - reborn - amidst salt and smoke, in the ice tombs/cells underneath the edge of the wall. Therefore IMO, after a red streaking star, the prince that was promised, Azor Ahai reborn, shall be born unto you amidst salt and smoke - Jon Snow/Targaryen.   You heard it here first - search engine back when book 6 comes out.

Actually I heard that first somewhere else, but I think the way you've written it below sounds a lot more convincing :)  The Jon Snow / Azor Ahai prediction I read previously seemed a bit far fetched

He didn't just go into a coma he was stabbed brutally many times.  His last thought though was....."Ghost".  Don't forget, he is a warg.  I think he slips out of his body into the wolf's at the last second.

But, being reborn is very possible, given Dondarrion's six *recoveries*.  If the drunken red priest can do that surely Melisandre can too.

(I never realised that Dondarrion was the guy that Ned Stark sent after the "Mountain" btw  Cool tie in.)
