Lol. Something's up with the link for the thinking smiley. It's calling you stoopid rexbecca....

Nvm. The thinking smiley is broken, and when you posted it in this post, it changed to that hotlinking image, which made it look like it was put there on purpose in the context of what you wrote.

I get the feeling they might just to add some dramatic effect and to remind us they are still a looming threat. My housemate seems convinced they're condensing down the "Feast for Crows" book as much as possible. He is pressed about that book, he thinks it's the worst in the series by far haha.
Of course I haven't read that far yet, so this is just going on what he's saying.

The people that hate that book are missing out on 90% of the plot of the story. It's dry on action, but so much of the intrigue and secondary plots are set up in Feast.
If you're a fan of ASOIAF, A Feast for Crows is one of the best books in the series. It's my second favorite, behind A Storm of Swords.
But, because of the sheer amount of plot and secondary characters, they have to scrap or shorten most of the storylines and combine or remove characters to make it work.

Oh man, this season is varying so much from the books. It's kind of crazy. It does keep me on the edge of my seat though.
