    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    Solid trolling, wonder if that will make the final cut.

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    I think he'll finish it in two books, they'll just move at ASOS pace. Things have meandered because most of the characters have been in the 5 year gap turning phase that he had first planned to skip, or have at least reached the point where they come out the other side and things start...

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    It will be an identity crisis thing, wolf or dragon, does he stay lord of the North or become Rhaegar's heir to everything when people push him that way?

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Yeah I considered the age thing as a reason for it, also thought maybe he was grounding these characters in their philosophy as that will become their reasons for clashing when they become gods/demigods (which I have some notion of happening as I've read part of the first book and remember names...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    I've no problem with multiple POVs, what bothers me is almost all the povs in the forge of darkness seem to be part time philosophers, and their abstract theories on life has taken up about half the book so far. Well probably not but it feels like it.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    I've not read the Malazan series (past a third of the garden of the moon) and am currently reading the forge of darkness. I am enjoying it very much, so much so that I intend to try getting into the main series again. I have only really one complaint, but it's pretty big, I am not enjoying the...

    Read the princess and the queen, it's not very entertaining, just an info dump.

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    Wasn't a cliff hanger supposed to keep us in suspense to find out if he's really dead, but of how he's going to be resurrected.

    The Newsroom S2

    I get distracted by Mac's floppy head movements and how much the blonde chick's scrunched up face looks like the predator.

    Hannibal

    To me the CSI shit is at the bear minimum as it is and that's fine.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Jojen is dead, Aegon is riding Rhaegal into the dance and Victarion is Dany's new admiral.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    No I think there's a chance that passage is foreshadowing the COTF/BR attempting to have Bran eat Hodor as they all ready have had him eat Jojen.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    "He had never felt more like a cripple than he did then, watching helplessly as Meera Reed and Coldhands butchered the brave beast who had carried them so far. He told himself he would not eat, that it was better to go hungry than to feast upon a friend, but in the end he'd eaten twice, once in...

    Very good show, could have gone either way after 4 and 5, thankfully it turned to entertainment.

    Combat might have been passable had it been released before the Souls games.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Don't care the door didn't make it, but the existence (and width) of an open tunnel like that is implausible, that the writers don't care about such things doesn't do the series justice.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I assume they've gone off early on the Stannis storyline so they could push Gendry out of next season, but it's really crapped up Stannis. Ygritte catching Jon all alone was way too convenient, the Dany scene eye roll worthy, Jaime returning scenes gutted and the small council scene whilst good...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Looks like the scene where Tywin breaks the good news to the family is in the next episode, good since it's one of the best in the series.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The taking of Yunkai and Jon's escape scenes were incoherent. The red wedding was done pretty well. Arya's death threat to the hound = foreshadowing.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    She also slices the fool's throat. Nymeria drags Cat's corpse out of the river later, that's how Arya knows/believes she's dead. If they do that scene they could show Nymeria looking up at Robb's body hanging from the Twins. That's how I'd open ep10 anyway. I wonder if the whole Ramsay...

    And a crap actor in no danger of being taken seriously anyway.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    She saw the deaths in the flames and then used the leeches to try and claim credit to convince Stannis to make the sacrifice.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Dany will kill Stannis or prove he's not AA. Blue eyed king who cast no shadow... slayer of lies.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I hope they do all the RW festivities, Wolf head, Cat clawing her eyes and slitting the fool's throat, Cat's body being flung off the tower (no chance), Arya getting the flat of the sword and Nymeria dragging out Cat's decomposing body. Hope they do the Bran warging scene well, they've...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Great episode, good return to form after the last two, the episodes with longer time devoted to the one story work better. Stannis shouldn't have called him Joffrey Baratheon. Preview of next week shows Bran doing the crazy eyes warging, presumably saving Jon when he decides it's time to go...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    He blew the horn the episode before too, it wasn't Martin's idea or writing. What are these other apparent "fixes" you allege?

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    That shit was boring. And besides Jaime proving he's a nice guy now I'm not sure what we know after that episode that we didn't before. Dany and Jaime were the only characters with plot progression.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Varys plan involves a lot more than that, Cersei, the faith, the whole war wasn't as per scheduling due to LF (which Varys, despite knowing LF killed Arryn didn't work out). Fear of reprisal if he missed may be an issue but I doubt Varys felt that if he really applied himself he couldn't have...
  33. C

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I too consider this a flaw. I try to reason it away by thinking Varys probably figures when his plan comes to fruition he'll have the overwhelming power to simply crush LF if needs be. LF is probably curious about what Varys is planning, and expects it will more likely work in his favour than...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    And Ned's best interest of the realm was the rightful heir because honour, and Dany's best interest of the realm is herself because usurper dogs, and Drogo's best interest of the realm was his rape son because of assassination attempt, and Mel's best interest of the realm is TPTWP to save...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    They're not the same, it's quite clear they're not the same. That you don't believe Varys' plan is in the best interest of the realm does nothing to change the fact he does and that that was his motivation. And if Tywin, Cersei or LF care(d) at all for the best interest of the realm it's running...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Tywin murdered the children and Robert rewarded him for it by marrying Cersei. That things would go from there in a direction that appeals to Varys doesn't seem likely.
  38. C

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Nothing like Tywin, he made not only his intentions but his motivations plain, and they're not the aggrandizing of his house, they're to put a king on the throne who will serve in the interest of the realm.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It's like no-one read the ADWD epilogue or are all Tywin fanboys who just can't accept that not everyone, including Varys, feels the most famous child murderer in Westeros was the best guy for the top job.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Scenes did nothing for me really. I didn't think flaying was done like that, I thought it was more skin shaving, or like how you'd peel an orange with a knife. Didn't realise it's more like peeling a banana. Makes sense now I consider they hung people's skins up in the dreadfort.
