I found something completely ridiculous yesterday.  A handsome enough edition, but tantamount to an admission of the series never progressing beyond that point.

Hey man it looks like there's enough room for a blu-ray case. You have to be realistic.

I recant everything, gently caress you and say hello to my undead champion." holy poo poo, there was a tv show? who the hell would even air such a thing?

Debt of Bones was ok, I'm about a third of the way into Wizard's First Rule and we've just met the Mud People:Wizard's First Rule posted:Mud People never smiled at outsiders until greetings had been exchanged, lest their souls be stolen.  It's just going to get worse from here, isn't it??

I just want to remind everyone of the time a person on his back patting not-a-blog told him they got uncontrollably gooey thinking about Sandor yelling at them and GRRM hurtfully asked if sam's fat pink mast aroused anything in the fairer sex and was met with resounding crickets.

He starts stealing from that heavily around where you are, but with way more weird sex stuff and ayn rand bullshit until he ran out of those books to steal from and then it gets unfathomably stupid like everyone forgets a main character exists for some reason and this is a major plot point for 3 loving books. I apparently haven't read the books that arent sword of truth but are about the main characters? I don't plan to. Actually I had thought Goodkind was dead for some reason.

Ian McShane is going to play Beric and revive Cat so we get the Stoneheart stuff. We aren't lucky enough to get Sandor but we are hated enough for D&D to think Cat is a beloved character and not a living embodiment of bad ideas and pettiness.LeftistMuslimObama posted:holy poo poo, there was a tv show? who the hell would even air such a thing? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0844653/ Netflix had (has?) it and like I said, it went for the Xena/HErcules campy feel, or at least I hope it was trying to, and it sounds like the show hits a lot of god awful points like the demon chicken. IIRC the tv series ends with Richard and Confessor Lady use some tear of the gods(?) stone to close cracks to the underworld so that the dark lord or w/e he's called couldn't rise up and 1000 years of darkness everything. Also Darken Rahl tricks his way back to life I think? That actress who played Cara though...  Apparently the TV series aired on ABC.

That series was 10x better than those awful books. The tv series knows it's campy.

Wizard's First Rule was my intro to fantasy and I ended up reading (frequently slogging) through to Naked Empire, book *8*. The author's worldview stuff gets pretty grating but there are some solid action scenes. Al in all, I feel like a well adjusted individual despite the experience.

the action is actually at best mediocre and the good parts are the supporting characters when they are not possessed by the author to spout about objectivism

Bluray came out and Hardhome is still better than the last two books and is the highlight of the show next to Theon loving the ship captain's daughter.

Confirmation that D&D read Game of Bones: The song in the season 6 trailer is a cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game".

At least the other parts weren't half bad. Hal and Ty's parts of the Chaoswar books were better than any of the poo poo Pug and the conclave was involved in though it still wasn't as good as him just ripping off The Dirty Dozen in the Serpentwar books.

So who all could McShane be bringing back? I was thinking maybe Ser Barristan before I remembered the theory about the traveling priest nursing the Hound back to health. I doubt it'd be Cat because at this point who really cares if Stoneheart shows up, and if she does it'd still need to be Beric or Thoros so she can have the Brotherhood Without Banners backing her up. Unless GRRM has something big planned for her in the next books there's plenty of folks who could fill the role stringing up Brienne.

This fits exactly with the description of the elder brother on the quiet isle bringing back Sandor Clegane. Safe to assume that Sandor's survival will be much more explicit in the show than it is in the book.
