Do you think maybe GRRM doesn't know he has to actually write the book for it to come out? Like maybe he's just sitting there crossing his fingers WoW comes out today and just keeps being disappointed when he calls his publisher and they tell him they still don't have it.

Creating a monster to do your bidding that you lost control of is kind of a trope, and GRRM loves subverting tropes, so it's not a terrible idea on its face if there is some interesting thing they do with it.

24-7 Urkel Cosplay posted:I thought it was never going to be explained in the books, there's no need for it. He has broca's aphasia but obviously no one would be able to diagnose that, so it's just Hodor being Hodor. Sure but how did he get it (trauma?) and is he really half giant and how does he relate to Nan and how does she know so much about history and where is she now those are all questions I would like to know more about.

Fingers crossed that the series finale is just an hour-long remake of that "The animator suffered a fatal heart attack" shot in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Hodor is not half giant, Osha is simply impressed by his large cock. It's like, a joke.

Nun hosed Dunk, who was seven feet tall and a womanizer. Possibly also hung like a castle wall.

They changed his name from Walder to Wylis in the show. Surely Walder Frey is not so relevant at all times that there can't be a second Walder who is never called Walder and is Hodor?

Josuke Higashikata posted:They changed his name from Walder to Wylis in the show. tv works different than novels. its a pretty standard rule that you dont have characters with the same names since your audience is assumed to be retarded. Asha and Osha sounded too similar so they changed their names. Hell, they even changed the Others to White Walkers so they werent confused with characters on a completely different (already off the air) show. The ironic thing is that people then confused White Walkers and Wights. so ya, tv. e: to actually answer your question, yes if they had called him walder in the flashback stupid tv viewers would have thought that walder frey was indeed in winterfell. im still holding out for Hodor to say "Hodor" and Bran to counter with "what chu talkin about Willis?"

The nights king watched as the flame died down to a candles worth and the last uncharred remnant of the Red Keep gave in to the relentless snow. Straining against his chains, Jon cried "Why!?! WHY DID YOU DO THIS!?!?!?!" The king ran a cold finger along the frozen throne of swords. "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for wight children."

Ser Duncan the Tall being a large fella who likes the women is from the novellas, him hooking up with Nun is fan speculation based on the title of the unreleased fourth novella (the shewolves of winterfell) and the fact that Bran has a tree vision of a young old Nun making out with 'a knight almost as tall as Hodor' in the winterfell godswood.

You know, I read a lot. Especially about things in, uh, about history. I find that poo poo fascinating. Here's a fact, I don't know whether you know or not, Wights... were spawned by Crows. No, i-i-it's a fact. You see, uh, wights have black Crow blood pumpin' through their hearts. If you don't believe me, you can look it up. Hundreds and hundreds of years ago, you see, the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch fell in love with an Other. He did so much loving with Other women, huh? That he changed the whole bloodline forever.

Okay so first the book has to come out. Then I want a compilation of reactions on youtubes of people who watch the show, filming the people who read the books, as they read the book, and getting frustrated that the oh poo poo sand snakes stab doran event didn't exist to get a reaction out of. The camera peoples will all ask them what part they're up to and try to lead the questions and get more and more frustrated. That's my idea okay bye.
