I hope they were going for a parody of modern comedies' overuse of zany characters saying totally random nonsense.

There's some new lore video about the north which got me wondering. Why would the mouth of a major river just be totally open to be settled by the Manderlys? You'd think someone would have that place all staked out thousands of years before.

Correct me if I'm wrong but no flashbacks or novellas have ever been written during winter right? Only legends. GRRM has no idea how to write winter plausibly.

Not sure about a fee, but the citadel assigns a maester to every house. There's probably some smaller ones that don't have maesters.

They are obligated to serve the Lord, even if they change hands. We saw that with Theon and Maester Luwin in Winterfell.

It is weird that they wouldn't send another Maester to the citadel. Presumably, Sam was in for years of study.

Clearly Stoneheart will just take the place of Beric in the books. She'll head back north, join the ranging party beyond the Wall, fight in the Battle of Winterfell, and save Arya so she can kill the Night King.

They basically are, as it's apparently all a novelization of a RPG campaign.

Learning this ruined it for me entirely.

That's not entirely true. The series is based in the setting but not exactly the story of a campaign that was played.

GRRM has posted a new update.

"No, sorry, still not done, but I do inch closer [...] Of late I have been spending a lot of time with the Lannisters. Cersei and Tyrion in particular. I’ve also paid a visit to Dorne, and dropped in to Oldtown a time or three. In addition to turning out new chapters, I’ve been revising some old ones (some very old) [...] I was really on a roll back in June and July. Progress has continued since then, but more slowly… I suffered a gut punch in early August that really had me down for a time, and another, for different reasons, in early September. But I slogged on, and of late I am picking up steam again."

I read and enjoyed the main Ender series years ago. I remember hearing about Card's weird Mormonism and homophobia soon after but didn't notice any of that in the series. Ender pretty much makes up his own religion. Was there hateful homophobic or right wing subtext that went over my head?

Just watched The Netflix Witcher to scratch and itch and... it sucks, right? Besides Henry Cavill being the image of Geralt and Jaskier being fun, the show was a disjointed mess. I remember when it came out, nerds were bombing any review site that was even mildly critical of it, so I assumed that while it probably wasn't great, it couldn't have been as poorly written as it is. I admit I had fun when Geralt got to fight monsters and hang with Jaskier, but I can't believe that someone thought that bouncing back and forth between what felt like eight different pins on a timeline was a remotely good idea.

The anime feature they just released is really well done. The nightmare of the wolf.
