I'm not sure they are splitting it in to two exact parts.  Almost all of the acton is in the later half of the book, so it would make sense more to do something like 60-70%, and then basically abandon the divided structure of Feast for Crows/first bit of Dance, because that really sucks anyways.

Anyone hear anything on Mance or Oberyn's casting?  Or if Selmy is really coming back?

I don't think that Oberyn will be introduced during this season, I guess they'll push him to the 4th season. No casting news about Mance, but he has been confirmed to be amongst the new characters for this season.

Then what is Tyrion going to do?  I was guessing that they would go up to the [spoiler]death of Joffrey[/spoiler].  It would seem to be an appropriate Episode 9 event, if Episode 7-8 is [spoiler]Red Wedding[/spoiler]-I think the event is so big that you can't really just end with it, as with Ned's execution and the Blackwater.

See how spoiler tags work?    Use 'em when talking about events past where the series is now.

that's what the people at http://westeros.org/ and http://winter-is-coming.net/ are wondering.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Even supposing he's got book 6 written, I'm sure it'll still need to be gutted, split off and rewritten a couple more times first. 2016 maybe.

Those look like normal keeps, Westerosi castles are totally fantastical.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

What does it even mean?  :hmm:

Castles have their purpose, even in Westeros.  :secret:

That's why Martinus, for all his spending on the trappings of wealth and taste, will never really have class.  He's just trying too hard to be something he isn't (an intelligent, tasteful gentleman), trying desperately to hide what he is (Polish trash with money and a severe behavioral disorder), and it shows in everything he says and does.  He's not our equal, not by a mile.
