GoT S4:E9 "The Watchers On The Wall" BOOK MAESTERS Thread SPOILERS

I'm thinking the little boy who got his parents eaten by the Thenns is gonna put an arrow in Ygritte's chest. "I'm the best archer in my Hamlet"

Ygritte also sniped his dad if I remember correctly.

So, in other wonderful news, GRRM's editor has confirmed we're not getting WoW this year, and that it may be expanded to 8 instead of 7 novels. If he goes out to 8, I think we can rest assured that we won't see the end of the books in novel form:

that is disappointing, longer writing times don't seem end up correlating to better books in my experience. at least not in the long fantasy series.

Can't wait for Stannis the Mannis to show up and lay the smackdown on these wildling jabronis.

I'm just hoping that the actual battle scenes are a lot more impressive than the stills and preview scenes.

As far as TWOW not being this year and GRRM adding another book - I'm starting to think maybe he's hit some kind or a wall or block on the story or lost his mojo on it. Certainly hope not

He has every right to write the books at his own pace but I just hope they are quality. I do sometimes wonder how many people have passed away waiting for the conclusion of the series though.

This is the most expensive episode ever produced. I expect the battle scenes to be epic - even better than the Blackwater episode. I'm just hopeful it wasn't expensive to only produce the giants and mammoths via CGI but rather because the battle is on a grand scale.

Regardless, I am very excite.

Nor will the ending be worth reading, IMO. That just proves that he doesn't know where to go.

Just like he didn't have the balls to have Tyrion die after killing Tywin.

That's great
