● 《冰与火之歌》系列小说的作者、《权力的游戏》（Game of Thrones）电视剧集的创作人George R. R. Martin将在第三季中「亲自现身」，扮演一个小角色。事实上他在该剧的试映集（首集）中露过一面，但他的那个镜头后来被剪掉了（试映集中90%的镜头都重拍了）。Martin还发布了一条无责任「剧透」消息：在原著大结局之前，会有好几个人坐上铁王座。

● Sophie Turner在谈到她的角色姗莎时这样说：

Season 2 changed her for the better. All the things she heard in songs and fairy tales – they’re all gone now. She’s lost her innocence, but for the better. You don’t want to be innocent in the world of Game of Thrones. She has some big events that are unexpected and a new experience for her. This time she actually becomes a woman and has a chance to live what could be her dream life.

She forms alliances this season, and she’s got Shae as a really close friend and she might meet some new people who she maybe becomes friends with, but we’ll see,” she said. “She definitely has trust issues after the death of Ned so she’s not going to be trusting anyone too quickly, but maybe. We’ll see.

● 如果你看了《权力的游戏》（Game of Thrones）第三季「新闻日」活动（洛杉矶首映式）的现场视频，你会发现扮演布蕾妮的Gwendoline Christie和扮演詹姆·蓝尼斯特的Nikolaj Coster-Waldau确实是一对活宝……搞笑的部分我就不说了。他们透露了这两个角色在第三季中的状况：当观众在3×02看到他们时（他们未出现在3×01），他们仍然在返回君临城的路上。詹姆对现状一点都不满意，他不喜欢受到布蕾妮的控制，他使出浑身解数来摆脱这种情况，来摆脱布蕾妮。无论詹姆会用何种手段，他都会逼得布蕾妮想发疯！不……事实上，詹姆想激怒布蕾妮。

至于这两个角色的关系如何发展，他们这样调侃：

Christie: “She kills him. [laughs] It’s the second episode, that’s why they saved it. She kills him, and then he dies, and that’s it. Yeah, and then she gets together with Jon Snow, and they unite, and then they share the Iron Thrones.”

Coster-Waldau: “It is an adaptation.”

Christie: “That’s another spoiler for you.”

Coster-Waldau: “I don’t know how much we can tell you. In big terms, I’d say their relationship does evolve and there are a lot of twists and turns on their little journey.”

Christie: “And I think they find themselves in situations they could never predict or expect.”

● 近日有多个传言称HBO可能将《冰与火之歌》系列小说的前传故事改编成另一部剧集。这个故事同样发生在维斯特洛大陆上，只不过故事时间为「100年之前」，主人公一个叫Dunk，另一个叫Egg，故事气氛比《冰与火之歌》要轻松。George R. R. Martin告诉记者：

Well I have been writing for a number of years, a series of novellas set in the same world, in the world of Westeros about 100 years earlier, about two characters called Dunk and Egg… I’ve published three of those novellas – The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword, and The Mystery Knight – and I have in mind about nine or ten more novellas about the adventures of Dunk and Egg. So, we have been playing with the idea of doing those, you know, as prequels. They would be prequels in a sense they’re 100 years earlier, but in the same world. They’re somewhat lighter in tone than the main series, a little more adventurous but my fans love them and I love the two characters too, and it all ties into Westeros. So maybe, maybe that will be what we do, we’ll see.”

● Kit Harington在描述他的角色琼恩·雪诺时说，他在本季是一个「间谍」，纠结于「自己应该忠诚于谁」。野人之王曼斯·雷德会改变雪诺对野人的看法，令他开始质疑自己听说过的（关于野人的）一切。

● 此外，3×01中会有针对一个主要角色的暗杀行动。

● 这是第四个预告片，主题是《敌人》（Enemies）。

● 这是一个宣传片，《龙来了》。

● 下面是英国方面公布的第二季剧照，总数多达68张。我昨天就拿到了，但是忘记发了……Sorry。图太多，以「点击放大」方式发布。
