That is a spoiler. The books haven't gotten there.

hmmm.. that suggests to me the whole [spoiler]FAegon[/spoiler] arc will just be skipped.
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.

Neither him nor Jon Connington have been cast, so I wouldn't count on seeing them this season.

And the people rejoiced.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Bummer.

So we are getting ahead of the books next season? Cool.

Yes, Sansa and Bran both caught up with the books at the end of last season.

But Bran isn't supposed to appear in season 5.

Take a look at my avatar.

They are call season, Brit.

I don't think the "you are using English wrong" card is one you, in particular, want to play... especially when it was clear to everyone that Tyr was using the British meaning for series.

And who is that in your avatar?

The British meaning is wrong.

As PW said, Steve McQueen in The Great St. Louis Bank Robbery when he was ~29.
Colonel Caliga is Awesome.

Correct.  There is no plastic bottled water in any of the books.  Who could have guessed that the whole series was going to culminate in the birth of a petrochemical industry.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

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.

Grow up.  If you have even bothered to read the series, that is hardly outside of the realm that it has gone into.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I like those characters though. It's just different.
