Interesting to read about the dream that Bran and Rickon share. Maybe there will be another dream or flashback scene after all. And I'm very much looking forward to Maester Aemon's revelation in episode 9 - it's a great scene in the novel.

interesting to see that there is one episode by GRRM, are there any other episodes that he wrote for the series?

Not in this season, but he's already said that in Season 2, he'll be writing

Spoiler

the Battle of the Blackwater

[Maltaran]

So episode 9 has

Spoiler

Ned's death, the Green Fork and the Whispering Wood. Plus it looks like they're moving at least part of the Cat/Jaime scene from Clash of Kings into episode 10

[The hairy bear]

Regarding the battles on episode 9, reading the summary "Tyrion acquires a mistress and is forced by his father to fight on the front lines. Robb wins his first major victory and captures a prized prisoner." makes we wonder if...

Spoiler

perhaps they have merged the Whispering Wood and the Green Fork as a single battle. That may explain why they haven't cast Roose Bolton, and why we are not seeing Riverrun this season.

How would they do that?  They're on opposite sides of the river.

[Enteril]

Why are they moving the pivotal Riverrun dungeon scene up a season? Or at least, that's what it sounds like.

To give a more dramatically satisfying season ending perhaps? It also has the added benefit of giving more room for ACOK in season 2.

I guess the way to do it would be having Tywin's army on the other side of the river.

That's just speculation, based on the fact that they havn't cast Edmure for season 1. But I believe the idea  is that the scene would still be there

Spoiler

...but instead of taking place in Riverrun, having it happen on Robb's camp. In fact I like the idea of Robb's soldiers proclaiming him King in the North after the news of Ned's execution. At the second season's premiere we'll have time to see how Edmure enters the alliance and pledges fealty to Robb.

[The Anti-Targ]

So I'm assuming Jon

Spoiler

does his little semi-desertion in Ep7.

So Ep.10 is called Fire and Blood. OK I guess.

They are separate sentences so I don't think you can infer this from the Ep summary. If there was an "and" in there then you could draw that conclusion.

[Isabella Stark]

Looks like Ep 8 will feature the scenes I've been looking forward to the most- (1) the one with Syrio and (2) Jon fighting the you know what.

Can't wait!

Are you telling me Rickon is going to have to act in Episode 10? I thought he wasn't capable of that and if he is is, WHERE THE HELL IS HE?

[princeMountainGoat]

I'm reliably informed that Rickon has lines of dialogue in episodes 8 and 10. He has already made a couple of appearances during episode 1 in the Bran archery practice and king's arrival scenes.

It is a shame he is only in three episodes of the season but that is certainly not because Art Parkinson cannot act which I'm sure we'll see when we get there.

I just feel people aren't gonna be all that touched when Rickon's first lines in the series are gonna be saying goodbye to Robb.

It's going to be a little kid saying good bye to his big brother with tears and stuff, pretty sure it's going to be touching

Weird, why is everybody using spoiler tags and/or talking in code.  This thread is labeled 'TV SPOILERS Episode Summaries.'    Or am I missing something that everybody else knows about what can and can't be said here?

It doesn't say book spoilers.  It probably should have both.

I am curious, do we know if any of if rickard karlstark is cast yet, i believe that is the guy who is the head of the karlstarks. Greatjon seems to have been cast according to winter-is-coming, but not sure about any of the other northern bannermen.

[tybeechris]

tv.com has episode guides. It does contain spoilers in the episode guides so don't go there if you don't want to know.
However, since I have read the books, I was curious.
