Meh, I guess I just had these fixed perceptions in my head of what each character was like and whilst most of the other cast seemed to fit the bill very well, she just seemed off. I'm probably just being a little too nitpicky. | ||

They are not regular and don't last 1 year. For example they had summer for like 10 years and now they expect pretty hard winter so shit is coming. Actually, the seasons last several decades if not centuries. | ||

No he isn't, the current summer is one of the longest in memory, and it's not even 20 years long, let alone a century. | ||

At the beginning of GoT, the decade long summer was coming to an end and it is feared that the winter will last a similarly long time. There hasnt been any reference to seasons of a commonly occuring length between 'several decades' or centuries, especially considering many characters throughout the series are asked how many winters they have seen, and iirc some 40-y/o characters had seen ~6 winters. | ||

Just a couple of things, am I the only person who finds every single character in the book dislikable? This isn't to say that I don't like the book or that I don't think it's an excellent fantasy novel or that the characters are bad, hollow or thin. They're just all so unlikable >_< Also if + Show Spoiler + Tyrion and Littlefinger what about bran? or the "dogs"? :D edit: and i reaaaaaaaaaally like this to be hones. there are no "white heroes". every charackter fades to a certain grey. and you can see yourself in some of their actions and by others you think "bullshit"... | ||

I really do like the dogs, lol. Keep reading, a lot of the characters that you didn't like at one point will grow on you. Character development in these books is amazing. I'm about 40 pages into Clash of Kings, I hope to start liking some of the characters. I know I'm supposed to like a character like John Snow, and he does grow through the novel but his conflict was basically covered by his father...unless something else comes up. Anyways, I do like the books. | ||

But you know, it's a preview, I'm sure they added that just to further entice people to watch. I doubt it will be a long scene. | ||
