Blade_of_tyshalle posted:Book jihadists, is it? Well, I hadn't realized some of us had declared a fatwa upon an infidel series which omits cool poo poo. Inshallah, later episodes will be as boss as the Prophet himself. Yeah. Jihadists. Goddamn motherfucking straight. Somewhere in a darkened corner of a Warhammer game room, a greasy knot of fanatics dream of taking hostages until the show creators deconstruct the Westerling burrito. Perhaps I shouldn’t paint them with such a broad brush: once their demands are met, maybe they still blow the roof. It’s all about what’s in the basement.

Whatever the show runners decide with offing Joff, they better get a move on with the series. Chop-chop, fellas. GRRM is coming on like a freight train. A quarter through TWOW as of last month and chug chug chugging along.

There has to be scores ofslightly more tolerable GRRM nerds who know as much about ASOIAF as she does, and some GRRM may even get to creep at his leisure? The doctor is in. She got in on the ground floor. Like the sports superstars with their leeching entourages, GRRM doesn't want to appear like he's forgotten his roots. Or, possibly, she says the things he wish he could say, but can't. That'll be five cents, please.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:Just one more trope GRRM has flipped upside down! Natch. How else is he going to toss the trope's salad? Just when you think he's peaked with fat pink mast, he gives readers the Myrish swamp. Before fans can fully process that wonder, he blindsides us with Reek's devil's tricycle. I expect the bar will be set even higher in TWOW.

Oh, for gently caress's sake. I completely forgot about the sticky princes. I tried a reread of AFFC when ADWD came out and couldn't get past 100 pages. Can't wait to see D&D adapt that little passage. Oh, wait, they won't: they're pervy, just not GRRM-pervy.

nuncle jimbo posted:I agree plot and taste are important Truth. GRRM is not only shattering the fantasy mold, but the entire publishing industry. He has prepared for those with ears that hear to not rely on trivialities like "paper" and "words". Upon the appointed date, fans will take their places in Barnes and Noble cafes and sit in quiet reflection as the wonder of Westeros unfolds in their imaginations.

Fargo Fukes posted:As much as this is the Bad Thread and we shouldn't say poo poo like this, you haven't read nearly enough middling authors if you're calling GRRM a middling author. He is Genuinely Very Good At Writing. Whether he can plot and pace as well as his ambition demands is up for debate but he's been at his craft a long time and it shows. Meh. He's OK. I'm looking at my bookshelf and I wouldn't put GRRM above most of them in terms of craft; and there's some real dogs in my collection. Sure, he's written a number of exceptional passages, but any competent author is going to come up with some gems if allowed to churn out a kajillion pages. Monkeys and typewriters. He had a great story, poo poo got tough, and he punted.

WAFFLEHOUND posted:I would have liked some more foreshadowing but at the same time I liked that it made it possible fory Daenerys to horribly gently caress up/get murdered/etc in a more interesting way then "Oh jeeze she'll pull it together and save the day in Westeros." Ain't no law that says Dany has to return to Westeros. In fact, I think that might actually be interesting. Certainly will be a surprise after reading about Bran/Hodor getting down with the Reed girl. That's totally happening. Chekov's Gun, meet Hodor's Massive Cock.

The author is a massive horrible shithead and the books are pretty bad. I would suck the poo poo out of GURM's dick before I gave OSC a dime of my money or any kind of positive attention whatsoever.

GodFish posted:A bit too late for it now, but I wonder if the series would read better if it didn't have any of the Dany chapters, and you just heard the same rumors along with the characters hear them until she finally (never) lands in Westeros completely power mad with three dragons and a giant slave army ready to take back her kingdom. Maybe publish her chapters later in several novellas "Khalessi" "Mother of Dragons" "Breaker of Chains" "Shitter of Fields" so you can see her descent into madness first hand. What a great idea. Unfortunately, GRRM believes his imagination is the only one worth having. So we get inventory, menus, travelogues and heraldry. But not the rules of cyvasse*, because that would be too taxing for the editor of Wild Cards. *I don't give a flying gently caress about how cyvasse is played.

Azure_Horizon posted:I don't think so. In this, GRRM is right. The whole point of the sharp sword edges all around was to make sure that whoever sat upon the throne was the right ruler. And each ruler that has been cut by the swords has proven to be wrong for the kingdom, which is why Joffrey kept slicing himself open on it. Make way for Queen Shireen: her greyscale is her mandate.

Gaiman flubbed his line; after the routine ends, Martin swats him on the snout with a rolled-up copy of the Skin Trade. Gaiman immediately goes into a submissive pose and piddles a little bit. Too bad, really. The judges were really impressed with the act to that point. Maybe they can make up for it on the obstacle course.
