It is, essentially. In the book, it happens much earlier (after Tyrion speaks to Shae about joining the castle staff). It's a wonderful piece of Vary's background, and like a lot of other pieces of conversation, I can see that making it into a scene in the next season.

An interesting interview with D&D regarding Blackwater episode: 'Game of Thrones': Behind next week's Battle of the Blackwater | Inside TV | EW.com Will the chain be a last minute addition, or will it be left off entirely?

Not to mention the scorched earth order he gives to the Mountain in order to root out the Brotherhood.

I started to think a lot about this after last night's episode, and the strange thought that crossed my mind was: Not saying that's how I would want it played out. I certainly want to see the Goat!

Blackwater is the title for episode 9, so I believe they'll probably follow the format of last year where the ninth episode will wrap up a lot of the storylines and episode 10 ("Valar Morghulis") will begin to setup for the third season.

And yet, Mr. Dinklage went on to win not only a Golden Globe, but an Emmy for his performance. I think an actor's skill and range can more than compensate for any physical differences from the source material. At first I didn't like the casting choice for Robert either, but after watching the...

Best episode of the season so far. I loved the scene with Tyrion exposing Cersei's informer on the small council. An excellent example of using the visual media to efficiently adapt what Martin wrote. I wish they would have shown Pycelle wetting himself though... And boy, they really nailed...

I ran a 3.5 campaign in FFG's Midnight setting a number of years back. Out of that campaign came one of my favorite magic items: The Darkwood Palm. One of the PC's in the campaign lost his arm to an umber hulk. He played the loss of the limb spectacularly, and so after a handful of sessions he...

And they just cracked $1Million! With 32 days still left to go.

If I were Rick, I think I would try to lead the horde away from the farm. It appeared that they were still quite a distance away and were focused on the gunshot from Rick/Shane's fight and then the shot that killed zombie Shane. Granted some might stay and feast on Shane's corpse, you could...

I'm sure that our group will do the same as we did when 4e came out: finish up our current campaign (which we just started one in Dark Sun), then try out the next edition whenever it comes out.

What's the embargo story/history?

Had no plans to go to D&D Experience this year, but I may have to see if I can make the trip this year...

WOTC's Announcement of 5e Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Charting the Course for D&D: Your Voice, Your Game)

I can't see WOTC pulling something so egregious as to not put any new sculpts in the box. I definitely agree they will reuse a lot of older sculpts, but even the board games received a few new sculpts as well did the beholder and dragon sets. Maybe a 75/25 ratio?
