Dr. VonHugenstein posted:This was one of the weird things about the book to me; for years a lot of people hypothesized one of the main reasons that AFFC was a letdown was because we didn't have Dany and Tyrion chapters. Then as it turns out Dany and Tyrion are a drag for most of this book, while the less prominent character POVs are mostly pretty interesting (who would have guessed Victarion would be great after the drag-rear end Iron Island chapters from AFFC). Its clear at the end of Swords that Tyrion and Dany were going to be spinning their wheels for awhile. Tyrion's on the run and Dany's chilling in Mereen. If GRRM had skipped Dance and jumped right into Winds I think readers would have been able to connect the dots just fine. "Dany is a lovely ruler and Mereen is at war." "Tyrion fled across the sea where he was drawn to Mereen by stories of the Dragon Queen." There's at least five hundred pages of nothing summarized in two sentences.

Its obvious Varys is working with the Devil of the Cold or whoever the gently caress Melisandre is always going on about. The ritual which cost him his junk also put an Other in him. His plan is to soften up Westeros for the coming wight invasion. Really, there is no other justification for his actions.kiph posted:GRRM must have had one poo poo-hot sister.  Yup.

whoflungpoop posted:But when I first read it I couldn't figure out if it was supposed to be the advanced stages of dysentery or if she finally started getting her period again, therefore signifying a magical return of her fertility and therefore foreshadowing some sort of further development/transformation aided by the waxing magical forces, etc. Why can't it be both? Dany had shitwomb and the dysentery cleaned out her system.

The homely farmgirl began tugging at Ser Jammie's pink turnip, using techniques she perfected over many hundreds of hours in the fields tending to her crops. Now she tended to Ser Jammie's crop, doing for him what he can no longer do to himself after he lost his sword hand to the villain, Largo Goat.

morcant posted:I only go into TVIV for the Dexter and Orphan Black threads. Those ones at least don't seem too bad. Threads for bad shows tend to be better than threads for good shows. It seems that the more popular a show becomes, the more likely its thread will be a boring circlejerk or infested with poo poo posts. See: the Game of Thrones thread.

redreader posted:I think it's mostly about dudes sitting down and spreading their legs really wide, like 'look at my cock!' or 'oh no I can't close my legs because of my dick'. People do this and it's loving annoying. I'm a guy and I try not to do it because it's douchey. Or maybe men have proportionately narrower hips and can't cross their legs as naturally as women?

redreader posted:His bag was taking up a seat. He'd probably have moved it if anyone had asked though. Really. The implication is 'don't sit next to me if you don't have to,' not 'these seats belong to me and I will defend them with DIARRHEA AND FIRE!' Everybody does it, and not just on public transportation.

Jeffrey posted:I don't see how that could not be what happens - no way can they not have a confrontation between the two after all that, and that's kind of the only way it makes any sense. I'm trying to think of a single occasion in which fate conspired to give a character some much needed catharsis in this series and am coming up blank.

Majorian posted:I like the idea of a teenage girl thrust into a really misogynistic society, This is how they suckered in tv viewers, too. "Everybody cheer for feminist icon, breaker of the patriarchy, Daneyras Targaeryeon as she heads a social justice crusade across Essos!" GRRM had the good sense to paint a more balanced picture of her, making her a hormonal, entitled brat whose inexperience and arrogance led to her downfall. Hopefully the show has the balls to follow GRRM's example and not soften her character by turning her into a one-dimension GRRL POWER Mary Sue.

computer parts posted:If you really want a writer that started with a grudge, look at Jim Butcher who started his Wizard Detective series on a bet with his creative writing teacher that he could write the most stereotypical story imaginable and sell a bunch, and then started another series after betting some dude on a message board that he could make a successful series with any two random concepts. The guy told him to write a book combining Romans and Pokemon. I have never, and will never, read one of that guy's books, but I'm buying him a beer if I ever meet him in real life.

Evil Fluffy posted:Apparently my-character-is-totally-dead-no-really actor Kit Harrington was spotted during the filming of a battle scene for the next season (and part of it, not just there watching, it seems). Spoiled in the off chance this thread still gets people who aren't up to date on the show or the novelization. Entertainment Weekly: In an interview immediately following Season 5, you said Jon Snow was actually dead. D&D: Yes, but we didn't say he wouldn't come back to life. (Dan and Dave slowly take off their pants to reveal full erections. Dave starts stroking his.) Dave: We fooled the world, unhn. (Dan starts fingering Dave's rear end in a top hat.) Dan: We're the smartest showrunners take it, bitch in the world. (Dan and Dave lay down on the floor and start 69ing each other.) Dan: Nobody expected this, uhnn FASTER!, twist. We even fooled the President of the United States. Almost there. Come on, faster. More tongue. Dave: All those people, yeah YEAH, crying on youtube. We totally *glurgle* (Dave begins to choke on Dan's semen.) End interview.
