I haven't actually looked it up, but based on what I've heard/seen, didn't season 5 win like more emmys than ever, and was considered a huge success, despite it being hot garbage? I expect it to continue to explode into season 6.

They waited just as long for all the iron born stuff, so I can see them waiting this long to bring back Cat. What I don't know is how they're going to deal with her being a body that was dead for so long, probably several months .Lycus posted:It would've been dumb for Thoros to vanish into thin air with or without Stoneheart. They can use the Brotherhood for something else if they want to, they got three bookless seasons to write. Someone loved Cat. Only cat.

Both those books were awful bloat no one gives a poo poo about. In a tighter, well written series that actually has a chance of finishing, world building can be fun and interesting, but when you know this is all you're going to loving get for the next decade, you want some actual progression, and god forbid, resolution, not a thousand pages of stalling.

It sucks to know these books will never be finished, but I am consoled by the fact that having your magnum opus stolen out from underneath you and finished by someone else and their version will completely eclipse anything you've ever done has to suck a lot more, and the absolute fucker is suffering more than I ever will.

The last 2 seasons were shortened and delayed because they're CG heavy as gently caress, they announced this towards the end of last season. The need the same amount (or probably event more) money, and more time for less episodes because of dragons and zombies. I remember a ton of rumors and talk last year about how the book was totally coming out to coincide with season 6. Hell, season 5 probably did the same thing. It'll never happen. There's a lot more plot armor and predictable outcomes now, but that's an unavoidable side effect of being this far into a story that's too drat long. How could there be any sort of coherent narrative if Dany died on the way back to her home Finally, I thought season 4 was middling, and season 5 was down right garbage (except Hardhome) but season 6 started okay and got steadily better until the last two episodes, which were some of the best episodes of the series.

IRQ posted:I don't think anyone genuinely cares if the books come out at this point. I used to look forward to reading his excuses about why the books are done, but even those have dried up lately. Remember that year he wrote a really long heartfelt explanation on Dec 31st about why the books weren't finished that year, but then his blogging software ate it, so instead we just got a short paragraph about how blogging software sucks and his assurances that the no longer existing post was really good?

Penny Arcade is by far the most popular webcomic to ever exist. I think we'd all be lying to ourselves if we pretended that success didn't have something to do with all the goon antagonism. I used to read them semi frequently but lost interest years ago. After being around for almost 20 years and making 3 comics a week for that whole time, it's easy to find several examples of lovely comics if you really wanted. They're okay but hardly worth having a strong opinion about either way.

syscall girl posted:Achewood, dude Popular, not best. Achewood has spent a good chunk of the last 10 years on hiatus. Penny Arcade has several comics on their site, multiple yearly cons all over the world, multiple seasons of a reality show, dozens of books, and as of ~8 years ago a good 30 people working for them. It's probably tripled since then.

kcroy posted:Glad she got stuff normal. I was surprised that she was cute. I don't know why that surprised me but it did. My favorite one was the track/field one where she has heat exhaustion.. and her cycle of despair stuff + descriptions of depression are pretty bang on. If Hyperbole and a Half is a comic it's definitely my favorite. If there was an easy way to do it, I'd frame the entire article on Why I'll Never Be An Adult and put it on my wall so I can just point to it when explaining things to people. Right at the end of her ...troubles, she did an interview on Fresh Air where she broke down and told Terry Gross all about her (semi-former) suicide plans and it was super heart wrenching. I'm sure doubly so for her poor fiance who was also hearing all this stuff for the first time live on the radio.

Has he seriously kept the exact same scraggly rear end facial hair for over 40 years now? Also there's a new trailer for the next season if you're into that kind of poo poo. I guess Cersei pulls a brand new fresh Lannister army out of her rear end, unless maybe they came from one of her many allies. Wait, no.

I thought the Targs were pretty small frys in Valaria, and they happened to have a summer home on the outskirts of the empire or something and got really lucky. If it turns out they had a ~*~prophecy~*~ and received visions and they were destined to escape the doom that would be just loving terrible.

Jon you're actually our cousin, born to our aunt and Rhaegar. Dad claimed you as his to protect you as a vow he made to your mom as she died giving birth to you. You're a Targ bastard.
