I must have dreamed this but I remember a ten minute interview between gurm and Conan O'Brien that TBS seems to have edited into oblivion. I remember Conan saying something along the lines of, "I know this is touchy, but your fans on the internet are worried that you might die before the books are completed." I expected George to get pissed but he said that he and the publisher had already handpicked an author who agreed to carry out the task of completing the series if George died. Conan also asked George why the winters were so long in Westeros and George said he had a definite no-poo poo explanation but he would only reveal it in the text. I think I dreamed this after watching the interview where Conan shows George youtube videos of Red Wedding fan reactions but it felt so real. I'd been drinking the night before and slept in. When I awoke, a steaming trencher filled near to overflowing with creamy chowder sat at my bedside table, chunks of leek and carrots suspended along the surface where flecks of melted butter slid along dark ovals of razor clams and flaky cod just harvested from the cold deep of White Harbor.

"hey this is my sister catelyn you remember her right" "uhh, I guess maybe?" Hrmmmm. Sweetrobin made a positive identification of cat who he wholly and completely recognized and wasn't just led into agreeing because he's a milktoast terrified of everything but his mother sponge. This means he has telepathy. GOod stuff. Good thinking Jacobs. Why does sweetrobin know he's going to die? Maybe because it's a new book and he has to reestablish the plot in a way that reminds people who waited five years since the last one what his entire loving deal was in a way that seems natural. In one sentence you remember Sweetrobin is a petty bullshit little kid about to die and that someone else stands to become king poo poo once he does. The kid's loving name is Harry the Heir. At least once, ever, someone's going to say "heir to what?" in sweetrobin's hearing. Krinkle fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Aug 5, 2015 |

He'd post about it on SA, apparently.

Just got up to the chapter where Bran walks through the Black Gate under the shadow tower, or whatever abandoned castle was biggest. Night fort? The gate is a thousand year old man's face. Explicitly described as such. And it cried as he bumped his head and passed through. Is this one of the twelve people he remembered from Nan's stories who done hosed up and were made to do penance at the wall? Not the ice guards. I don't know. You don't cry if you don't regret being a tree face.

He's the only one who gives a gently caress about old Nan and her stories and they constantly parallel poo poo going on for more interesting characters.

He never saw her body, pointed out that he never saw her body, and bolton assures catelyn that he took her surviving small folk to the dreadfort. So she was probably given to the dogs.

Just got to the part in ASOS where Jaime returns to the city and found it pretty funny that people craft insane theories from Tywin telling Tyrion he's "no son of his" when he says the same thing to Jaime the instant after Jaime refuses to quit on the Kingsguard and to become the heir of Casterly Rock so it's obvious he means it in the 'you are a huge disappointment' sense rather than in the literal sense, in both cases.

Jesus said the end times would happen while the people listening to him were still alive and it's been five hundred generations since then so either there are some old rear end vampires waiting for the end of the world or someone needs an editor to crack the whip and get the eschaton printed out already.

Also it's really stressed by several different characters that Tyrion is basically mini-Tywin and that's probably one of the reasons Tywin hates him so much. If anything Cersei and Jamie are the secret Targaryens what with all the twincest.
