Game of Thrones (TV Show Discussion Only) *DO NOT POST SPOILERS*

These guys love making the finales a teaser trailer for next season.

 

Anyone realize that? It's like the 9th episode is always the most nail-biting one.

 

Well to a certain extent that's kind of how the books go. Like the Red Wedding, IIRC, came about 75-80% of the way through the book. It's usually that the penultimate episode is where all the good stuff happens, and then the last episode is used as a set-up for next season.

 

Anyway, I was happy with last night's episode overall. Stayed true to the story and adequately set up the plot lines for next season.

"Game of Thrones" Season 3 might be over, but fans of the HBO series can still celebrate its storyline every week. Zap2it can exclusively reveal that the next "Game of Thrones"-themed beer to come from Brewery Ommegang and HBO Global Licensing is going to be called Take the Black Stout.

 

Unlike the previously released Iron Throne blonde ale, Take the Black is a stout inspired by the Night's Watch. Take the Black Stout is 7 percent alcohol by volume, whereas Iron Throne was 6.5 percent. This beer will also be released in 750 mL bottles and sixth barrel kegs.

 

As can be seen in the photograph below, the label art on the bottle features the Weirwood trees considered sacred by the people of the North. The design was created for the bottle by a52, the same studio that designed the iconic opening credits sequence for "Game of Thrones."

The "real" Iron Throne, according to GRRM:

George R. R. Martin, the author of A Song of Ice and Fire on which Game of Thrones is based, wrote a blog post explaining how he sees the true Iron Throne:

 

"The HBO throne has become iconic. And well it might. It's a terrific design, and it has served the show very well. (...) And yet, and yet... it's still not right. It's not the Iron Throne I see when I'm working on THE WINDS OF WINTER. It's not the Iron Throne I want my readers to see. The way the throne is described in the books... HUGE, hulking, black and twisted, with the steep iron stairs in front, the high seat from which the king looks DOWN on everyone in the court... my throne is a hunched beast looming over the throne room, ugly and assymetric..."
