I don't know why everyone is talking about this. We all know the series will be cancelled after season three with the last episode being the Red Wedding. And who knows, maybe 2 years from now GRRM may be almost done with 3 1/2 chapters of WoW. Which were held over from DWD obviously, but at least completed.

Jamie has to stay alive long enough to strangle Cersei just to fake us out for thinking that the prophesy is an obvious fake out.

Wouldn't the obvious fake out be Jamie? Therefore to fake us out of the fake out he would have to use some one besides Tyrion or Jamie thats a younger brother. Like Sandor. Or Zombie Lommy. Did Lommy have a brother? Well he should be a zombie anyways. And strangle Cersei. And marry Cat and have zombie babies that fight the Others with the power of needing to be carried.

I'll complete the set by announcing that the Black Hawks of Chicago not only have the best uniforms but are also hands down the best team this season. Gonna make Frey Pie's out of the rest of the west and turn their attention to the sweet summer children of the Eastern Conference. Hell even their motto fits in with grrm's writing: Cold Steel on Ice.

Yeah, its what Film Crit Hulk gets into (once you get past all the capitalization) on his review of the books. The whole drat saga is a perpetual witch-hunt by an author for ways to gently caress with his audience, intrinsic worth or entertainment be damned.

And then he figured out the best way to gently caress with them was just to stop writing the books. Say what you want, but that Absolute Fucker is also an Absolute Genius.

Once Karl Dracko died in Khaleesi's storyline it sucked. Khaleesi is still a good character though.

Honestly, I understand not wanting to read the books. Why bother? The show will have an ending, the books will not. Also with the show they can avoid grrm as much as possible. Not to mention they will never have to see Arya touch dong.

Took them long enough. You'd think the Red Wedding would have been the best time to do that.

Fake spoilers would sound more realistic than anything from the last two books. The Mountain becomes a Frankenstein monster, Tommen gets a cat, Dany shits all over herself, Jon dies...sort of...maybe...probably not, Manderly eats Frey.

Edit:
Catelyn becomes a zombie.

Reading ASoIaF as it is written would lead even the most well balanced and kindhearted individual to absolutely despise and loathe all of mankind. If Mr. Rogers had read it he would have burned down a school and spent his twilight years teaching kids that there is no hope or future and that giving up is the only thing that makes sense in this cold, unforgiving, unfeeling, dead-souled world.

I actually find the show pretty dull and haven't bothered watching it since the dvds for season two came out. At least half the cast is just really bland and the stuff which is enjoyable, there isn't a terrible lot of just because of how many storylines they need to showcase per episode.

When the show first started I was hoping each episode would focus on just one character the whole time and it would flip flop like that through the whole series. Then I thought of how horrible an hour long Dany episode would have been.

TVIV theory: The fool (What's his name, used to be a knight) poisoned Joffrey so he could have Sansa to himself. :bravo:

I just want TV watchers to come in here to try and spoil us on the books as the series progresses. I don't know about anyone else, but after all these years of waiting for the damned books to be finished I look forward to any confirmed spoilers.

So, why are you guys not sperging out about the Night's King reveal done by HBO?

Oh we did. I believe there were a few Darth Maul jokes and maybe one about rape or lemoncakes. Bookreaders embrace new material you see.

They are darth maul bumps, but I'm sure their intentionally meant to be reminiscent of a crown. But yeah, HBO mucked up and identified him as the Night's King before they were supposed to.

So assuming he is the Night's King, does that mean he changed the first 12 Lord Commanders after the fact? Thats weird or I missed something.

I have a question. Why did we start referring to GRRM as GURM? I've only ever seen that abbreviation made in the bad thread(s) so I assume it stemmed from something in one of the early iterations of these threads.

Try pronouncing GRRM.

Toyota Yaris Greyjoy. To keep the show watchers confusing her with Arya, if I remember right.

Producer 1: "Hmmmm, Osha and Asha soumd a lot alike....maybe we should change it so we don't confuse people."

Producer 2: "How about Yara? No other character has a name evwn remotely similar to that!"

Audience: "We never see Theon's sister. Also where is that one girl that had the other kid and dog? Oh well!!! Can't wait to see more of Kelly C and Sersee!"

Its been a while since I bitched about the show changing which side of Sandor's face is burned so I'm gonna do that. Why the gently caress? Its such an odd thing to change.

Its the opposite side than what was described in the books. My guess is they just didn't care or its the actor's good side or something.

I thought they were already set on finishing everything up in 7 seasons. And there is no way they will do a prequel season. People would stop watching by the droves.

Thwy won't split them apart, but they could stretch the hell out of the two books to two seasons. They won't though because HBO likes money and acclaim and they have the ending already.
