I'm not gonna open those because there's no need to post them or ruin my own enjoyment of the series, but at the same time some of us, well, have parents that won't allow us to read said books. Even after hours and hours begging and pleading. And offering your own money to pay... *sigh* Or plenty of other reasons not to be able to read the books.

Can't read the series. Title of khaleesi. Parental censorship.
What's not to love about spoilers?

Wait, you can watch the show? With nudity and gore. But reading the books is disallowed? Like HBO adds more sex, nudity, and violence into the show than the books.

I've just gained a sour taste of them because of past experience. Believe me, yours were tempting as hell, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it XD
That's the confusing and hilarious part, really. And they never even skip over the added gore and sex on the show, but I guess somehow words are worse? I don't understand it, but hey, my birthday is soon and they have at least caved to let me read the books once I'm 16. And they believed I had forgotten that deal 8D

Hey, parents can be dumb about today's things.
Mine took my sister to see Ted when it came out. She was fourteen at the time.
That lotion scene.

- Fantasy is my #1; I will give almost anything a chance if it has strong fantasy elements. Post apocalyptic, superhero, alternate history, science fantasy, some supernatural, romance, and a few fandoms (especially Game of Thrones) are also likely to catch my eye.
I've been expecting them to not do the book version of the Greyjoys ever since I realized show Balon had lived quick a bit longer than his book self, but I'm still sad about it. I wanted the Kingsmoot and the awesome new characters. :<
I would have been okay with Lady Stoneheart happening even though I also hated Catelyn, but who cares really. I'm curious as to what they're going to be doing with Beric and the Brotherhood Without Banners if they don't off him via Lady Stoneheart creation.
Super hyped for what looks like more of the Vale being featured in the show than we saw in books 4 and 5. More Littlefinger, fuck yeah.
As for Quentyn, ehhh, dude was fucking useless. Like there was all sorts of build up, and then what happens? Fucker up and dies. Totally extraneous side plot, I'm okay with this cut.
I'm reserving judgment on the Jaime in Dorne thing. Could end up being awesome. He had some cool character moments by being out in the Riverlands working to end the war, but eh, they can manage similar things in Dorne I think. He was nothing like vital to that Riverlands stuff, nor was ending those conflicts vital to any other POV character's plot, so it could be fine.
If they cut Aegon I will probably lose all sense of where the fuck they're intending to go. I can understand or rationalize every other cut and potentially cut character (even the Greyjoys) so far, but Aegon? Dude seems like someone who's going to be pretty integral to major plot events leading up to the end. I could be in for a huge surprise, sure, but I would be far less surprised to see Tyrion, the guy with the strongest plot armor in the series so far, die than I would be to see no Aegon in the show.
Oh, also, the thing I'm most hyped about is Arya learning the art of the Faceless Men. Good times.

Eh, one of the first movies I remember seeing was Platoon but my dad forbid the words "shut-up" and "suck" in our house-hold.
Now, I would for sure be down with more Beric Dondarrion.

^ If the blue haired boy is cut, GoT is headed somewhere strange.
Having looked at casting for the new season and the characters the new actors are portraying, I'm extremely disappointed at the total lack of Ironborn. I think the producers forgot that the Iron Islands exist.

Looks like that's only 10 weeks to go till I have to start avoiding all social contact until I can marathon this thing.

well, like in westeros, no one actually wants the iron islands
so there is at least symmetry

Pretty sure I read somewhere that they will be cutting most of the story-line for them, so it's possible we will never see bad-ass pirates more than what we have already seen.

What's everyone's favourite scene in the show so far?
I remember grinning ear to ear when Stannis' army arrived at the Wildling camp. The aerial view of his charging cavalry pouring into the forest was epic.

The entire chicken scene with the Hound and Arya, or the Mountain vs. Oberyn, both really great scenes from this season.
I also really enjoyed the entire episode on the Wall.
Overall? Some of my favorite scenes have been.
-The confrontation between Stannis and Renly.
-"The King in the North!"
-Theon's "what is dead may never die!" scene.
-Pretty much all of the Battle of Blackwater Bay.
-Anything that shows the Unsullied as a whole unit.
But #1 goes to:
