That would be pretty cool. But what are the theories as to why the Others are stirring north of the Wall again?

Because winter is almost there. Also I just finished adwd and that poo poo sucked. Im sorry to say but that's another poo poo filler novel and I am pretty sure he set the record for saying cock or oval office on every page in the book.

Is that it though? I've always had the sense from the series that this winter is different - that the Others are out in force this time because there's actually something driving them.

Sorry no rape and lemoncake jokes, forgot. Anyway I have no idea why the Others are coming down more. Its supposed to be a really nasty long Winter, maybe thats driving them. Though after reading those crap Tyrion chapters I am loving begging for some more Sansa chapters just to have someone to hate more now.

I can't believe he could make Tyrion an annoying poo poo character.

I'm surprised people complain about the repetition of certain phrases in the book (You know nothing, where do whores go, floppy ears, blood of the dragon, lamprey pies, etc), but I haven't seen anyone complain about the annoying rear end prayers to the Red God or whatever the gently caress. I don't really skim books, especially not these, but goddamn did I get tired of hearing all of that poo poo about light and fire and blah blah blah.

I actually got more annoyed at the constant use of cock and oval office and "her lips down there" and other juvenile references. And I don't know what kind of sex the GRRM has (if its even physically possible) but I have always remembered I was the one with the penis, and never "forgot who had the cock or who had the oval office."

What a terrible loving description of anything.

edit: This whole book was trash and nothing happened. I gave myself days to think about i before posting but seriously, this was crap. Utter trash and the reviewers that gave it glowing amazing reviews should be fired.

Cute. Dude you came in with a poo poo post and just straight up invented things. Also, who are these four resurrected main characters you're talking about?

Not to defend him but you got Dondarrion (kind of main for a few chapters) Zombie Caitlyn (main) Zombie Gregor/Robert (main) Brienne doesnt die, Rhaegars son suddenly shows up, if Jon lives after being stabbed a dozen times (at least 4) then well that makes more characters... so on and so forth.

That's really just one main character that's been "resurrected" and it's Caitlyn. Gregor and Beric aren't main characters (And like it's been pointed out, you can hardly call them resurrected), Brienne never died (Did we actually think she did?), and we don't actually know the truth about Aegon yet.

Well brienne was hanging from the neck at the end of AFfC

One of the hilariously dumb theories is that Qyburn replaced Gregor's head with Robb's to make Ser Robert Strong (Stark means 'strong' in German).

A this point tbqh I'm not expecting there to be another book.

Maybe it's best to keep expectations low and thus be perhaps pleasantly surprised.

Yeah there won't be another book. poo poo is over man.

I'm not even joking this series is never going to be finished and I doubt they publish another complete book.

They might publish a bunch of half done poo poo, but not a book.

Edit: wait the gently caress on... Why did I never see this?

The fat gently caress actually brought in other people to write the books for him.

They took a pedophile that killed a kid and laughed about it, and sapped all the moral ambiguity from the scene by turning him into a pedophile that wacks kids with a stick.

RIP Summer. Why does D&D gotta kill off all the direwolves? It's going to suck rear end when someone finds Nymeria's pelt on a wall or something dumb.

I liked Hodor's finale scene. It was a little hammy sure, but it was a nice reveal that Past Willis got mindfucked into Hodor by Future Bran so he could control Future Willis. Better than Horse Hodor, that's for sure.

How big is the pool yet on if GRRM will publish the next book before the series ends in 3 years?

It's more that there can only be one Big Bad at any one time. People might stop hating Ramsay if Euron goes full Euron just now.

Daenerys needs 1000 ships, he told his people to build 1000 ships. His new name is Urine Greyhound. A cheap way to get you where you need to be.

Vanity Fair has an article explaining how angry GRRM is that the show is ahead of him and ruining his twists by revealing them before he writes them.

We're 12 years removed from the last book being published, coming up on 5 years since the show ended, and it was probably be another 2 years until House of the Dragon or any other spin offs make it to TV again, depending on how long the writers strike goes on for.

There is nothing left to even shitpost about. It's over.

One of my friends is actually directing an HoD episode now. They had everything rewritten prior to the strike so they are good to keep filming. No delays due to the writers strike.

Writers are necessary during shooting, as well. If they're shooting with no on set rewrites...oof. Also, pretty scabby behavior.

Look I’m not the director, and everyone including the writers, worked their asses off to get the writing for the episodes done before the strike hit. So the WGA writers working on the show knew exactly what was going on. I’m pretty sure the people working on the show have a better grasp of what is needed than you or I do when it comes to shooting the episodes. Besides it’s all shot in Europe, so the WGA strike doesn’t affect all writers over there.
