I think it’s so cool for RR to put that chapter out there, it is extremely rare for a writer to do that, so I’m going to take it as what it is…a gift. Between this and the new Season 2 teaser that was just put out, I have to say I’m pretty happy. I wasn’t expecting ANYTHING til season two starts in April, but this ahs been awesome. I’ve been re-reading book 2 just to get it fresh in my mind, and on my lunch break here at DISH I login to my regular customer account through DISHOnline and have been watching season one again. It’s awesome that they have the entire ten episode run up and I don’t have to wait until the DVD’s come out to see it again. Love it, but man, April can’t get here fast enough!
