I've read all the books in the GOT series, a few times. Only watched the series once, and didn't see the last season yet. I have heard enough about it to GROAN though...I found the tv series really strayed from a few of my favourite storylines in the novels, so I'm really really hoping that ol' Georgie boy has some surprises for us in his last 2 books, that it won't be like how the tv series ended. I'm glad you explained the original Tyrion line too because I had forgotten he said that and so didn't get Maggie's 'noms and knows things' :) :) :)
