Blazing Ownager posted:Hey quick question, I'm not sure I heard this entirely right: Did the Red Lady admit that 99% of what she does (apparently, except shadow-assassin-womb) is bullshit and is smoke & mirrors, like throwing stuff into the fire so people think the Lord of Light is actually involved? My impression was that she has some power and whatnot but yeah there's lots of tricks as well because people are more convinced and impressed by bigbaddabooms then more subtle magic, which is also probably harder to pull off. Shadowbaby took time to gestate and seemed like a fairly intensive effort to give birth to.

precision posted:I didn't say that. I said they were two of the worst books I have ever read. That is a valid opinion to have about anything, especially genre fiction. If you think Robert Anton Wilson and William Gibson write better prose than GRRM ... well I dunno what to tell you. You have unique tastes, I guess. If anyone deserves the backhanded compliment of "oh he's a good storyteller but is bad at the writing thing" it's William Gibson.

Cingulate posted:The most interesting fights happened in the first season IMO. Bronn championing Tyrion, or Jorah championing Dany, or Mountain vs. Hound. They all had an idea, which is why they were interesting to watch.

marktheando posted:Are they in danger of hitting that point soon? Which book is the show on now? Most characters are right at the end of book 3, with the exception of Sansa who just finished her book 3 arc and will presumably be going into book 4 next episode; Dany, who is into book 5; and Bran, who is into book 5 as well although his is trickier to identify precisely. e: Brienne is into book 4 I think.

Given that there was no episode tonight, and further given that people were dissing GRRM's writing ability, if anyone is interested in reading the chapter featuring next episode's duel I found that chapter online. Obviously it will spoil the episode, so I won't link it here but you're welcome to PM me for the link. The writing for the fight is incredibly exciting and completely draws you in, it's really compelling writing imo.

From the Game of Thrones show-only wiki:quote:[I]n the TV series [Stannis] is not mentioned at all in respect of Arryn's actions [regarding the incest investigation] prior to [Arryn's] death. Be aware that the above link does mention a couple of details from the books w/r/t how they differed from the book, but nothing that hasn't been brought up in the last several posts.
