I'd like to see (pre-Alzheimer) Terry Pratchett's take on this series.

I'm trying to think of funny to say about him. But that picture pretty much says it all.

The show already has multiple writers. One of them can easily crank out the novelization in a few weeks once the series ends.

What will Tyrion say when he mets the evil pig and who will watch the sex scene where Melissandre gets raped by a demon to gain dark powers?Tofu Injection posted:Nah Sanderson wrote a whole thing about it too, though it was as accepting and gentlemanly as is probably possible for someone with his religious views to be. Which really wasn't very accepting at all. The way I remember it, Sanderson said it's against his religion but he doesn't feel like his religion is being attacked by it, so he doesn't understand why people are being such loving assholes about it. He didn't really seem to judge homosexuals like you would expect.

There was an ample supply of Lemon Cakes in last nights episode. Rest in peace, A Glistening Hodor.

Also, what is probably the best line of the series so far, when the Hound said Braavosi hair is "greasier than Joffrey's oval office".

Would've liked it aswell, but since so many characters end up in Astapor I don't think it was avoidable without changing alot of the story. Let's just hope she won't stay as long there in the series as it seems in the books.

Aurain posted:There was an ample supply of Lemon Cakes in last nights episode. loved the lemon cakes. Why did they even bother with the whole Crasters thing? I assumed the crasters poo poo was to speed up some plot elements ( so they could cut them elsewhere ) . but nothing really happened. I have to complain about this... One of the best things about the books, is that bad things happen to good people. There isn't "justice" in any real sense of the word. Yet, TV is fascinated with that poo poo. That raped girl kills the uh.. dude who killed craster/mormont. why? FOR JUSTICE! Ghost kills Rust, who had been tormeting him. why? FOR JUSTICE! That poo poo is the exact opposite of what these books are about, and it bothers me to see it TV doing its "TV" thing of easy answers, and nice closure. lemonadesweetheart posted:You're already reading his drafts. it hurts cuz its tru kcroy fucked around with this message at 12:03 on May 5, 2014 |

kcroy posted:Why did they even bother with the whole Crasters thing? I'm sure it's just to pad out Bran's story a bit and avoid him running too far ahead of the other characters. Season 4 is supposed to be largely in late book 3 territory, and yet what little material is left for Bran is all in the fifth book. I imagine there will be a ton of padding next season too, when he's a tree.

By having that section in there they wrapped up a bunch of loose ends with Locke/Mutineers and added some tension to Bran's otherwise boring walk north.

I kept thinking they were just going to take a poo poo on GRRM's "no family reunions" policy and have Bran meet Jon and simply order him to let him continue on his quest as he is the freaking Lord of Winterfell and Jon is just some steward from the watch, it would have been preferable to the cop out we got which was basically Queenscrown v2.

Yeah, it also "advanced" the Bolton story which is no longer being told in flashbacks.

Episodes like this make me wonder how it is to watch the show as a non-reader. I guess it would have been exciting that Bran almost met Jon this episode.

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:http://brandonsanderson.com/euology-dumbledores-homosexuality/ Pretty much yeah. That's a hard community to leave and comes with a lifetime of brainwashing. Can't blame him much when he's basically saying gay marriage is basically fine with him but in a way that doesn't conflict with the men with silly hats. I assume mormon leadership wear silly hats.

I imagine there will be a ton of padding next season too, when he's a tree. I hope all his scenes are just him as a tree on a hill just doing tree stuff. Like watching squirrels frolicking in his branches. Or just 10 minutes of still frame shots of the tree. Also is it bad that every time The Hound slaps Arya in the show I cheer? I am not for child abuse but at least D&D are giving the book readers what they want.

baelish: the lannisters enjoy a certain status here, among the lords, knights sworn, and, given their considerable talents and business acumen, especially the merchant fleet operators, and it would not be improper to posit that, the satisfaction of them as near assurance of the satisfaction of the aforementioned parties ned: huh? baelish: the lannisters run more or less run things around here

Lemon cakes best cakes. Also every time I spoil or reveal something to the gf (who doesn't give a poo poo about show/books) or ask a question like 'where did they get the lemons from', the show loving tells us a minute later. Leave some godamn mystery you cuntsssss.

I have a feeling we're entirely too male centric in tbb in general, but here's some recs for dark fantasy from that Rothfuss review posted earlier: "Carol Berg has three complete epic fantasy series to her name" "K.J. Taylor has written a dark fantasy trilogy with a villain protagonist, a unique medieval setting, and successful deconstruction of the special animal companion/chosen human relationship so prevalent in fantasy" "Michelle West and her Sun Sword series" "Sherwood Smith and Kate Elliott, both of whom are writing the kind of complex, meaty, plot-heavy stories with strong world-building that the fans and critics purport to love." NB - I haven't read any of these, but can't be any worse than Ponytail McFrecklearms up there.

That's not GRRM's twitter. He doesn't have one. Because, you see, 140 characters is just too much loving writing for that guy.
