Making Game of Thrones has been updated with another “Overheard on Set” entry, this time bringing us phrases heard on the set of Craster’s Keep, plus an atmospheric new season 4 photo.

“Just be aware there are two bodies in the car, yeah?”

“Careful where you step, you’ll rip the snow.”

“They could really have their own show, ‘Chickens on Tour.’”

“Anyone seen the sword blood?”

Winter Is Coming: We had heard rumors of a return to Craster’s Keep in season 4 and now we have some official confirmation. What do you think Rast and the gang have been up to since we last saw them? Nothing good, I imagine.

GRRM: “Book Littlefinger and television show Littlefinger are very different characters.”

By Hear Me Roar on December 3, 2013

Via Blastr.com an interesting item has come to our attention. Game of Thrones has become so pervasive one can find references to it just about anywhere. Thus it came to pass that GRRM was invited to participate in a BBC documentary on Niccolo Machiavelli. Among other things, he names Petyr Baelish as the most Machiavellian of his characters, and discusses how he is the one that changed most in the adaptation from the books to the show. Watch the full interview below.

There was a a line in a recent episode of the show where, he’s not even present, but two people are talking about him and someone says ‘Well, no one trusts Littlefinger’ and ‘Littlefinger has no friends.’ And that’s true of television show Littlefinger, but it’s certainly not true of book Littlefinger. Book Littlefinger, in the book, everybody trusts him. Everybody trusts him because he seems powerless, and he’s very friendly, and he’s very helpful. /…/ But of course there’s the Machiavellian thing.

New eBook “It Is Known: Season 3 Deconstructed”

By Winter Is Coming on December 2, 2013
Filed Under: Merchandise

From Stefan Sasse, contributor at Tower of the Hand and one half of the Boiled Leather Audio Hour, comes a new eBook that examines season 3 of Game of Thrones in detail entitled “It Is Known: Season 3 Deconstructed”.

It Is Known: Season 3 Deconstructed, like the Analysis of Thrones releases before it, is a complete compilation of columns originally published on CoronaComingAttractions.com. Written by Stefan Sasse, easily one of the most accomplished authors on the Game of Thrones scene today, Deconstructed takes a step-by-step approach to the episodes, tracking each storyline as it develops – and even deviates from the source material – in minute detail across the entire season (rather than honing in on just a handful of [production] points, as An Analysis of Thrones is wont to do).

These aren’t simple recaps, however. Rather, throughout his in-depth analysis, Sasse makes a pervasive and, at times, rather controversial argument for how the HBO series actually improves upon Martin’s novels, even writing authoritative defenses of such contested characters as Ros the whore and Littlefinger the mockingbird. Readers will not only walk away with an entirely new appreciation of the show, they’ll be armed with tons of ammo to use against the book purists that so frequently tend to gang up on “Unsullied” viewers.

And for the novel readers, Sasse brings to bear brand-new, exclusive essays, further investigating the world of Westeros as realized on-screen and featuring a detailed breakdown of Jon Snow’s parallel storyarcs in both mediums.

Bonus features include an original short story by Mimi Hoshut of The Podcast of Ice and Fire and an essay by Marc Kleinhenz on the DC Cinematic Universe and why the Dark Knight trilogy is mediocre at best (Ed. note: WHAT?!).

You can order “It Is Known: Season 3 Deconstructed” at Amazon now to read on your Kindle or Kindle app.
