It's weird that they've built all these huge cities, a 300 mile long ice wall and huge monuments that probably took generations to build but never thought to get in a boat and go "that way" across the sea to find out what's over there.

GoT makes things like boats and ballistae seem like relatively new, important inventions.

Well the Wall was built by ancient magic and real life Europeans didn't sail west until the early modern era. We don't know what the prevailing wind situation is, either.

I bet Winds gets released. Even if GRRM dropped dead tomorrow there's probably enough of a manuscript written to cobble together a novel. The book after that will never be released.

Agreed, until you realize it's an analogy for climate change, and then it's depressing.

That analogy only holds weight if Westeros is destroyed, or comes very close to it.

Look, uncomfortable Maisie Williams sex scene is the price you pay for all of the much more erotic sex scenes from the early seasons. You got Natalie Dormer, Sibel Kekilli, and Nathalie Emmanuel. Now it's time to pay the Arya price.

What is the option for "None of the above" and/or "Oh god please stop putting sex scenes on my prestige television I just want to watch people brood about their emotions no more boobs please."

I agree but I thought of the pun "Arya price" and wanted to post it.

Its an 800 page prequel to ASoIaF GRRM wrote instead of finishing Winds.

The sequel will also be finished before Winds.

Westeros is definitely bigger than actual Britain but no way is it the size of South America. GRRM is bad with scale. And you can't really call it a fault of the show since they're just as vague about geographical size as they are about the passage of time.

Anyways, the characters moving around quickly didn't bother me in earlier seasons. Yara getting to Theon's location never seemed as implausible as all the complaints from book readers made it seem. Daenerys' flight does bother me, though if you assume fast dragons and the passage of a couple of days, it's mostly fine timeline wise, if not really convenient. What's really bad about it is Jon going up north with only a few guys when he's supposed to be one of the most important people in Westeros and also the Night King not just chucking his ice spears at them on their little island.

Dark Tower is being helmed by a Walking Dead showrunner and the people who made the awful film. At least you ASOIAF fans got several great seasons out of Game of Thrones, there will never be a good Dark Tower adaptation:(

Exactly. The pejorative anime posts should include their top 10 anime to let us see if they know their stuff.

Zeta Gundam was a better gritty war story than anything not animated, and how about Berserk, that 98 series was tremendous.

Berserk in general is better than GoT in every way, and somehow more likely to be finished.
