So I started watching this a few weeks ago and now I am on Season 3 already . The best character is definitely the Khaleesi , she is such a bad bitch I hope she will own the throne in the end.
i have been reading the books i re-read AGoT in feb, finished ACoK in march.. and will finish the first half of AsoS in about 10 days.. then read second half of book 3 corresponding to the episodes!
I'm just about caught up to the show with the books. A few chapters past the Red Wedding now so I'm assuming that what I read from now on will be what makes up the earlier episodes of S4.
Super excited. Might marathon all the previous episodes before it starts up again.

I only had three episodes left, though.
Will have to wake up early and watch it before I go to work.
