If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.


That's not a game, that's divination.

There's enough mediocre actors in those overstuffed films, they really really do not need even more bland cutouts diluting the story time for the vanishingly few good ones.

I'll take a dozen mediocre GoT actors in Avengers 4 if it means the MCU Tony Stark gets erased from existence. Captain America's a better central figure anyways, though Ultimate Thor would be equally acceptable. :black101:

You would think John would want the Twins to go to his uncle Edmure and not some sellsword loyal to a Lannister.

Why would he, or Edmure, want Edmure to rule the Twins and not Riverrun? The Twins are a glorified toll bridge.

And if Edmure isn't already dead he's 100% going to be if HBO didn't forget he exists, because I sure did until you mentioned him in that post.

1. Currently the most prevalent form of decision-making in the western world

2. While you are correct in saying that the society owns

3. You have not for a second demonstrated here why

4. I love the way that you equate "state" with "bureaucracy". Is that how you really feel about the state
This is one of the greatest images ever made.

“The man had 8 whole years to write at least one book so his mega popular TV show wouldn’t overtake his still unfinished story. ANd he sat on his rear end watching football the whole time all on HBO’s dime.”

Or just show them the certificate. I dunno. I thought it was public knowledge now that GRRM was an Absolute Fucker?

He said something about Gurm "now owning us anything", which, yeah, but that's kind of bullshit and also only a small part of the fuckery.

"owing" fans another book doesn't make him an A.F., delivering "books" like ADWD does.

That and the constant tease of "I'm totally working on the book" and then delivering nothing for a decade. It's not about him "owing" anyone anything, it's that he's a huckster who keeps making promises he has no intention of keeping.

Then again, I tossed out Feast For Crows halfway through the first Asha chapter and am never gonna read another word GRRM writes on printed paper ever again, so what the gently caress do I care? The show's gonna be done by this time next year anyway.

Preview chapters for TWOW which he actually wrote years ago and cut from AFFC. Yes, he cut poo poo from AFFC, there was stuff that was deemed not good enough for AFFC and ADWD and now he tries to pass it off as TWOW chapters.

To be honest, he does kind of owe fans something, if you ask me. He started telling a story, and didn't complete it. And he didn't complete it because of sheer laziness, not out of some pressing concern like health, family, or whatever.

Like it's one thing if an author hasn't done any new stories and fans are getting uppity about it. You don't 'owe' anyone new stories. But if you start telling one, there is the implicit understanding between the author and the audience that the story will be completed.

It's the same reason why you normally don't publish an unfinished book. Something GRRM has also done.

And even then, he didn't publish even an unfinished book. Bantam ripped the 80% done manuscript out of his hands and published it in a panic to capitalize on the premiere of the show. If it were still up to GRRM at that point, Dance probably might have been out by the start of Season 3. Possibly?

GRRM has not "finished" a proper ASOIAF book in 18 years.

If you don't ready any Dany, Jon or Sam chapters at all, or any Bran or Davos chapters after Clash of Kings, it actually makes for one hell of a self-contained trilogy. The series ends with Tyrion realizing that Westeros just can't actually be saved so he just nopes the gently caress out while it burns to the ground behind him. The show's just some weirdo's fixfic that managed to get an HBO production budget somehow.

Punish him. At the very least he needs excited, breathless texts about how the next asoiaf book has a release date every time a Wild Cards or bullshit compendium comes out.

We know how ASOIAF ends: Dani dies of dysentery, Jon stabbed to death by his mates, Arya enthralled by a death cult, Samsa queen of the Eyrie, Jamie setting out on an uncertain quest that embodies his conflicting loyalties.

All things considered that's not too bad an ending, thematically appropriate for each character, shame about that battle of Winterfell.
