The worst thing about this show since it's been cutting things and deviating plotwise is that they keep setting poo poo up in the prior season that just gets dropped entirely. They were clearly planning on keeping sansa's extended plot in the eyrie until the next season where she's suddenly auctioned off to ramsay. The set up Dorne (badly) and then heel-turn and axe everyone immediately, wasting Siddig in a completely unearned and unsatisfying death. That kind of poo poo just screams lack of foresight, and i know they're busy but they should've worked on a story structure to keep through AFFC/ADWD when this was getting off the ground floor.

I remember there are some videos that Dorne wasn't planned a lot, so it was rushed. Edit: Here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdE8VEQReP0 But for the critique they receive a dance and feast have so many story lines and so convoluted, that I imagine the nightmare to make a season of them.

Feast and Dance both have very linear story lines the only issue some people have with them is that some of those story lines are very ancillary to the main plot which does not move a lot. I'd even argue that those books are a hell of a lot easier to turn into a TV series than ASOS because most of the action is indoors and dialogue, not huge battle scenes. The Winterfell plot is just masterfully written and you could probably make a season just about that.

Well now we know that all turns into a wet fart since the show is pretty far past it. I'm assuming Sansa shows up leading the Vale army with LF in the books and that's how we get to the start of this season.

Dear god it's even worse than I thoughtquote:And yes, before someone asks, I AM STILL WORKING ON WINDS OF WINTER and will continue working on it until it's done. I will confess, I do wish I could clone myself, or find a way to squeeze more hours into the day, or a way to go without sleep. But this is what it is, so I keep on juggling. WINDS OF WINTER, five successor shows, FIRE AND BLOOD (that's the GRRMarillion, remember?), four new Wild Cards books, some things I can't tell you about yet... it's a good thing I love my work He's working on all 4 spinoffs plus the new one he just announced and 4 wild cards books.

And there's more. We had four scripts in development when I arrived in LA last week, but by the time I left we had five. We have added a fifth writer to the original four. No, I will not reveal the name here. HBO announced the names of the first four, and will no doubt announce the fifth as well, once his deal has closed. He's a really terrific addition, however, a great guy and a fine writer, and aside from me and maybe Elio and Linda, I don't know anyone who knows and loves Westeros as well as he does. This year, Dave Hill is a writer on the pilot.

Oh and he said none of the projects are Robert's Rebellion (Because it will be covered in the books that are never going to come out) or Dunk and Egg (because he doesn't want to get passed by the show again on a side project).

I've probably mentioned this before, but it always irked/baffled me that the show never let Stannis or Robb have crowns, yet Renly did and, bizarrely, Euron too.

I was like that too for the first couple episodes. The good thing is that everyone basically dresses in exactly the same outfit/hat for the entirety of the show., so that should help. I'm not kidding.

The thread is basically dead anyways. Once the show starts it will kick back up again, but between seasons there's nothing left to discuss because nothing has happened in the books worth talking about since 2001.

I can't believe this guy gets hundreds of thousands of views for content that amounts to click bait about theories that are old as dirt. There are angelfire pages about the Knight of the Laughing Tree that outline the exact same information as in the video (well, except for the ridiculous warging stuff). I guess you gotta respect his entrepreneurship.
