I suppose people who have yet to see Season 1 should beware of spoilers. ;-)

There’s actually a Princess Bride reference near the end of the 3rd book. You know, that duel near the end…

The one involving a certain crimson snake?

Must have missed that one when I read through the book.

Yes, George R.R. Martin admitted he got the inspiration from there. And then on the 5th book there’s a Monty Python reference.
