Game of Thrones Season 3 (aka A Storm of Swords)

It's called a "Warg".

Warg for warlock then. The accents threw me off!

And would somebody please give Rickon a line already! Surely this guy becomes something in the books!

Not really. A warg (or skinchanger) is a person who can enter the mind of an animal and is able to perceive the world thru it's senses.

Edit: straight from the horses mouth.

“Are ‘warging’ and ‘skinchanging’ interchangeable terms, or does warging refer exclusively to skinchanging involving wolves?”—Sean T. Collins, boiledleather.com

Here’s what George said when I asked him that question shortly after ASoS was published:

Elio: In SoS, Jon mentions that he sees skinchangers _and_ wargs among the wildlings. What’s the difference?

GRRM: A warg is bound to a wolf. Skinchanger is a more general term. All wargs are skinchangers, but not all skinchangers are wargs.

There are a good number of viewers that would disagree with this comment.

With which part, exactly?

As someone who hadn't read a book in 10 years. Game of Thrones propelled me into its vast world and turned me into an avid reader. The show is amazing. The books(except #4 of course) are F***ing awesome!! Most people would disagree w/ your assessment that Book 1 was drivel or silly nonsense. In the end people perceive things differently.

Ep 2 was great. 9pm every Sunday GOT is like Christmas. I love and embrace the changes the show makes. It keeps us book readers on our toes.

My favorite parts are the subtle things the show does for the book readers. Ex being in the book Tyrion has his nose cut off during the battle of Blackwater bay. In the show Cersei mentions how people exaggerated his injury making it seem as if he'd lost a nose. Great stuff

Well if that's the part he was referring to, then unfortunately my point was entirely missed.

My point was that how the books themselves are doesn't really translate to how the show is. A poster was pointing out that season 4 would be boring because of the book; but my point was that I can't stand the books and I love the show.

I see. Bran is a warg with "the sight," the wildling is a skinchanger. Didn't Jojen Reed say he's a warg as well?

Edit: It was great seeing the Stark brothers together in this episode thru Bran.

Edit edit: Too good to not share.

Too bad for Jon Snow look-a-likes, they wouldn't know where to put it.

Who would buy a replica Iron Throne? I guess I shouldn't judge, but that thing looks terribly uncomfortable. And dangerous.

It would also look terribly awesome to sit on.

All I can think of after re-reading that I Jamie talking about Renly and his "ideal" iron throne.

It's "The Bear and the Maiden Fair", though I can't stand the rock version. I like this one:

On a different note, some BOOK SPOILERS:

Spoiler

The Ramsay Bolton reveal is driving me mad! I thought for sure he would be one of the lead hunters, or a little line of "hey, let's bring him back".
