I blame this site for all the hours I spent wading through all five of the currently published GoT books, and, with the first official trailer released for Season 3 (see it here http://www.youtube.com/user/GameofThrones?v=RzI9v_B4sxw - it has one million views in a day!) I would like to discuss what we expect to see this season.

I've read all the books so there are no spoilers for me, but others may not be so well versed in the nerdy, blundering (anything to do with Brienne of Tarth is worthless), dragging (holy crap, Dany is the slowest conqueror of all time), fascinating (I want more of Dorne!) series. I think it would be good if we could keep the spoilers limited to book 3. I think most people know that Book 3 is going to be split between Seasons 3 and 4 (which I think is good, given how rushed Book/Season 2 was, and Book 3 is 200 pages longer).

Some interesting speculation can be found here -

Hmmm, so the Red Wedding will be in Season 3. My wife's going to be pissed.
