If only it could be had without requiring a cable subscription.

This is the only thing that's going to get me through our winter in Canada.

Love the three swords inside the zero :)

In the midst of all the news swirling around with intrigue, arrogance, power hungry vipers, anger and fighting, this is the BEST news!!

Winter is Coming and I can NOT WAIT for late Spring more than EVER now with this news!!!

I can now read A Dance with Dragons in peace knowing Season 3 is coming back and The Winds of Winter is to follow not too soon after.

THANK YOU Ser Martin!!!

Ermergahd!!! CAN NOT WAIT!!!!! /rabid

Uh oh nerd alert!

excellent news...got it marked on my calendar! Can't wait to see all the new characters.

This has probably been covered elsewhere, but, out of curiosity, which episode in Season 3 did you write?

And this also might not be the place to ask, but do you know if Season 3 will cover all of "A Storm of Swords"?

Hi George! This is SO awesome, I def will be reupping HBO!!!

Question, I notice alot of stuff here and you seem SUPER busy, which is awesome. But I wonder, how are you able to get any writing done? How much do you write a day? I'm an aspiring author and would love this insight!

Thanks- you are my fab author and I hope someday to be able to create something even 1/10th of the majestic world you have created in my own writing.

Respectfully,

Tammnor

As always, I'll have to wait for the DVDs.

But they include extras, like the Stark kids singing the opening theme.

I've been waiting to see this date. I got HBO just to see your series, and I decided to keep it. And I am reading one book ahead of the HBO series. It's a good time to be me.

Yay! Can't wait to see it!

I traveled to Ireland this past October... I was lucky enough to get to visit the Paint Hall and see the sets. So amazing. I stood where the RW happens. Aaaaaaah!! *chills* There are no words for how impressively beautiful and detailed the sets were. I work in film and was still blown away.

I can not WAIT until season 3. So excited. :)

Winter is my favorite season (I am a skier) so I can only hope we actually get a winter this year. The more snow the better. I should have been born in Westeros near the Wall....and Spring will bring back GOT on HBO, I will be glued and lovin it except for one specific event towards the end of the season....sigh.

Never left HBO, GRRM! Why would I, with "Treme" (best drama about New Orleans and/or/also music there ever was), "Boardwalk Empire" (Buscemi as leading man???!!!!) and of course Bill Maher... We hardly watch anything that's NOT on HBO these days - "The Simpsons," "Fringe" and "Dexter" which here in Canada is on The Movie Channel, and that's it. HBO rules, and will again in March, yay!

John Stewart mentioned you last night, did you hear? Now you could retire happily if the rest of us weren't so desperate to get books 6 and 7.

Love you, George RR.

I'm so excited!

Can I ask a question about the recent map collection? Is Ulthos a whole other continent to the south of Essos and east of Sothoryos?

The 'Storm of Swords' is about to begin....

When the first promotional piece includes the date in number's only, in a cool graphic print and smoky background.

Great news, sir.
I have enough time for books finish.

Gorgeous!:-)

Yaaaay!!

Tooooo loooooooong... *bites nails*

George, have you seen any of the footage for this season? If so, is it as badass as I think it's gonna be?

Winters can last a lifetime... when waiting for Season 3. I'm on my first re-read of Storm of Swords right now. I hope Patchface shows up this season. That evil bastard would be creepy as hell on the show. I also can't wait to see what they do with Ramsay and Theon. This will be the best season yet.
