Help me remember did Dany get saved by Barristan while leaving Qarth or Astapor?

So we could see "Arristan" in the Season Premiere.

If thats the case she gets the Unsullied no later than the 4th episode.

Amost done with my s2 rewatch...a lot better on my second viewing, actually. Blackwater may be one of the greatest hours of television I've ever watched

I really enjoy the books and love the series but come onnnn... I can think of numerous hours and half hours of television better than Blackwater.

Slight derail here... So, ADWD isn't out in paperback? Two years after release? Bizarre...

JRRM addressed this on his blog not too long ago. It's because the hardcover is still selling so well.

I have no idea if Belwas was cast, but I think he can be left out and not lose much.

Shireen and Patchface are who I am looking for. Shireen has been cast, so hoping Patchface will be around too.

Here is Shireen. This actress apparently has some sort of bone affliction, so she already shares a trait with her role.

If you GIS "Arstan Whitebeard" you get set pics of Selmy on set. Looks like the actor basically starting growing his beard a week before shooting. Soooo I'm guessing they don't try to make it a mystery like it was in the book (which is admittedly a much easier route to take with a general audience that will have to be reminded who the eff Barristan Selmy is anyway).

May be germans, but i thought this was pretty hilarious. GoT if it were an RPG (Role Playing Game for you non-nerds out there):

America's destiny is not of our own choosing. We did not seek nor did we provoke an assault on our freedom and our way of life. We did not expect nor did we invite a confrontation with evil. Yet the true measure of a people's strength is how they rise to master that moment when it does arrive.

Restarted the books.

Tyrion is first described as one green eyes one black eye, behind a single strand of blond (almost silver hair). If that eye is purple, it may appear black in the dark smokey hall of winterfell.

Also, mention of a singer playing the high harp and reciting a ballad... Mance.

Jon sees through people for what they really are. Cersei, joff, Robert, theon. When he sees Jaime he remarks that is what a king should look like (and be: a warrior)

Daeren Targ (conqueror) is one of Jon's heroes.

Catelyn says the shadow of Brandon stark lies between them, as does the shadow of the woman who birthed him the bass tard. Using the same metaphor for both of Ned's siblings, Brandon and lyanna?

So I did not recall there was a song called the Dance with Dragons that tells the story of a targaryen civil war were a female had a better claim but a second marriage son got the coronation and all hell broke loose. Kings guard against kings guard, real dragons against real dragons. After the war the targaryen family accepted the practice that a female Targ could only ascend if there are zero male Targs. SO, according to Targ law Varys' boy is more worthy than Dany. But he doesn't have dragons. Dany will take what is hers, but what is the point if she is barren? She may marry a westorosi lord(ling) to gain an army but her family line rests in Varys' prince. At first I was thinking she would kill him, but they truly are the last Targs and the last of valyria

Holy shtt! What if nymeria mothered a litter of half direwolf/wildogs and put out a son that became alpha over all the bttches in the west and the riverlands. Within three years they could have an army of super large/ vicious diredogs.

I've got tickets. really looking forward to it. Last time I was at Rudder Auditorium was to see Robert Rodriguez present Desperado in 1995.

I was watching the old Avatar cartoon series the other day and something struck me - Jamie = Zuko. He started off bad, now he's on his redemptive quest (there are more similarities but that's the easy one). And it really wouldn't surprise me to see him sit the iron throne when all the dust settles. I'm pretty sure it won't be any of our primary characters (Dany, Stannis, etc).

You bring up interesting points. The last two (or possibly more) books are going to have to answer a lot. I honestly don't see how he will be able to wrap up this epic in two more books. In between re-reads, I spend lots of time on the Westeros wiki pouring over topics like the Blackfyre Rebellion and Dance of Dragons. Great stuff!

I could see this, and I would love for this to happen. Jaime and Theon are my two favorite characters in the whole series, and are the best written imo

I have a feeling all of arya's names die before she ever gets out of Bravos.

Yeah, sometimes I wonder what the point of Arya's training in Braavos really is. She could be the most powerful killer in the whole series when her training is complete, but to what end? The people on her prayer list will all be dead by then.
