the show discussion is just much better in the other thread.
This blends too much of the crackpot thread.


How long before Stannis gets to the wall? That was during the Wildling attack right?

Blackfyres are still Targaryens but yeah, he's probably Illyrio's kid.

Also Dany has the best "claim" because she has a dragon.

This is something cunty Cersei would say if she had the dragons.

Claims are something idiots (edt idiots in Westeros) bring up. Goes back Varys riddle

"In a room sit three great men, a king, a priest, and a rich man with his gold. Between them stands a sellsword, a little man of common birth and no great mind. Each of the great ones bids him slay the other two. 'Do it,' says the king, 'for I am your lawful ruler.' 'Do it,' says the priest, 'for I command you in the names of the gods.' 'Do it,' says the rich man, 'and all this gold shall be yours.' So tell me- who lives and who dies?"

says the guy about to start another war by goading a reader into posting his thoughts on Varys.

I think the readers can have that thread.

Lets just get this one where it needs to be.

Also what Cersei said, "Power is Power"

This is also the thinking of Savages, Dothraki, Wildlings, and other uncivilized groups.

At this point who gives a frick about where it needs to be.

Let's just talk about whatever we want to talk about regarding the Game of Thrones, Book or Show.

Too many GOT threads already to start more just for the sake of topicality.

And Aegon the Conquerer.

Cersei was able to do that to LF because she had her father's troops with her.

okay.

I don't think the Others get past the wall.

I think Stannis and his men will use the red god to repell them and win over the north.

The North will rally behind the cause.

Rickon will regain power in a rebuilt winterfell. Bolton's and the Karstarks will go the way of the Lord of Castamere.

I have no idea about the south. How the heck is this going to wrap up in two more books? I read 12 book series that had less info than this.

the real reason the readers are all over every GOT topic is we are having withdrawls. I mean the shite ended on such a cliffhanger.

This is my feeling as well.

So much shite to cover, GRRM may have out kicked his coverage in the first five books

The sellsword kills them all, thus taking over the kingdom, the gold and (possibly) absolving himself of any sin (see: Henry VIII).

Just catching up to these threads.

quote:

Yes it is because you say stupid shite in the reader thread like who was it that sent someone to rescue theon? His sister or his dad. Which is clearly a leading question you are using so people's attention are drawn to Ramsay when that's not the point. Your basically saying... "Ohhhhh watch this!" And they are telling you to shut the hell up and leave their thread alone because that's specifically what they want to avoid.


Frick off JB, I was actually unclear on whether that person, now known to be Ramsey by us, had said Theon's sister or father had sent him. This was said on the show, btw.

Agreed. I have read/seen interviews where he talks about in writing the first couple books the story just kept getting more and more elaborate and he just went with it. GRRM has known since the 1980's how the whole story is going to go and so has gotten bored with it. So what does he do to entertain himself while producing this story that has grown bored of? Write a bunch of filler and make up shite and go off on tangents..

Overall I think he's a lazy POS for not wanting to get down and finish this series in a timely manner. Either that or the ultimate troll.

I don't get him either. It takes a long time for books to get out.

I read a lot of Harry Turtledove too and he has quite a few series, and every one has been at most a year or two wait for the next book.

he's not a troll. he's just reveling in his exploding fame. as a long time writer, he probably values his personal time frame more than the pressure from fans

JB, no matter how much you call out and attack the book readers, iluv isn't going to sleep with you.

Btw, you're not following your own advice if you are posting over there.
