One of my best friends, someone I've known since grade school, has a horrible habit of blabbing the crucial info/ending of any show he's seen, and you haven't, if you have the misfortune to run into him before you've managed to see it. Seriously, I have sat in his living room and told him to his face not to tell me the ending of the Sopranos because I had it DVRed and was going to watch it when I got home. Ten minutes later, he's telling me the ending. It drives me crazy. I've learned not to go around him if there's a possiblity that he's seen anything that I haven't.

Just finished Storm of Swords, and it was supermegahyperuber epic. Someone start a "[Game of Thrones] Season 3" thread!
Finished SoS a week ago. I'm just now starting FoC. Which of the books have you enjoyed the most. BTW, I can't wait to see The Halfhand and Jon Snow. The Halfhand was one of my favorite characters in CoK and probably in the whole series.
Yeah, Halfhand was cool. Like any good storyteller, Martin is good at generating a certain amount of mystique around characters when he wants to. As the actor mentions in one of the previews morpheus133 just posted, he's a character that gets talked about a fair bit before he actually shows up, so it builds a sense of anticipation. Martin did this pretty well with some other characters. Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, leaps to mind as a character that never actually appears in the books (being dead before the books began and all), but just the way the characters talk about him makes him out to be this epic figure. Same thing with Selmy, really.
I very much concur. The first three books were a constant stream of awesome... in the latter two books, the awesome is somewhat sporadic, and filled with a lot of characters I didn't particularly care about.
Totally agree with both posters. I had to force myself to finish book four and while book five was a little better, it still disappointed compared to the first three.
Feast for Crows was kind of "snoozy" but I enjoyed Dance with Dragons for the most part. Worth the 87 year wait? Probably not. But still good.
