Katt posted:Sell it now years later as a book? I think if the reviews and sales had been really bad they might've tried to disown the Sanderson sequels. As it is they sold well, and Jordan's wife picked Sanderson, I doubt it's likely she's going to publicly say "oh he hosed them up".

At least jordan only took 7 years to put out 4 books and meander through his “slog”. It’s been 19 years since the absolut fucker wrote anything besides meandering side plot bullshit.

If Stannis isn't the one to burn Shireen (and it's looking like thats the case, in the Book Which Will Never Be Published), I'm gonna be so mad at D&D for ruining my Mannis. God the 5th season sucked so bad

You gotta respect how D&D dumpster characters they no longer want around. Stannis? We're done with your plot so you're gonna burn Shireen and suicide your army at Ramsay even though you're supposed to be one of the better tacticians in Westeros. Oh and you're also gonna get randomly beheaded by Brienne for fan service reasons. Osha? We no longer need you so Ramsay is gonna kill you and crack a one liner because why not. Barristan? It's time to go die in an alley against some random grunts old man. etc

Where did the books finish with the Stone Maiden? I can remember her hanging Brienne and Pod (and that priest with the dog or did he get away) until Brienne says “the special word”. But in ADWD doesn’t Jaime run off with her somewhere? It’s been a few years but I can remember if this happened or was inferred like with the Hound being alive.

I assume the follow up is handing Jaime over to the Stone Maiden and then she goes "you swore to save my daughters and you betrayed me so now you must die!" Then Brienne does the speech she did for Sansa and Danny to convince them not to execute Jaime. What happens next I can only guess but I assume Jaime and Brienne both get away so she either saves him and they flee or Brienne convinces the Stone Maiden to let him go.

More Lady Stoneheart from a few pages ago. This...Elias_Maluco posted:I remember when before reading the books, when I was just watching the show, I went into that asoif wiki to remember a thing about Cat's life and Lady Stoneheart was spoiled on the first paragraph of the page. Thats when I decided "well, I might go ahead and read the drat books" Essentially happened in reverse for me, I’d read the books and was catching up on the show when a guy at work mentioned that Cat never comes back. So I was watching and expecting Brienne to get killed off at some point and Beric bring her back as the Stone Maiden - since she actually is a maiden and all but that never happened. It’s really quite noticeable how once the show overtakes the books all the side characters are wiped out as quick as possible, the Blackfish was a cool character in the books and show but then didn’t even get a death scene last series.

Blackfish didn’t get a on screen death because the actor didn’t want to do one iirc. He’s the opposite of Barristan.

I think it was because he’s old and didn’t feel like training for it. I don’t think he had any actual fighting in the show? This might be entirely wrong but it’d be weird for my brain to just make it up whole cloth.

“What has been set up as an impregnable castle just suddenly dissolves by treachery, and that the Blackfish should die offstage is absolutely right. Plus, I didn't have to do four weeks of rehearsal and get badly injured to look like a swordsman! I'm perfectly happy with that, to be honest.” https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/game-of-thrones-season-6-blackfish-dead-clive-russell-interview-a7079706.html this was just basic googling but

I actually forgot Ros was a character not originally in the books. My girlfriend and I are going through all of the show together starting back with episode 1. She never saw last season 4 and I stopped at season 6 because getting divorced sucks. It’s neat seeing again how good of an adaptation the show was when it started, and how some scenes were ripped literally from the pages, like the classic “Eddard under the Weirwood” scene.

I'm all caught up on the show for the first time since season five made me stop watching. Man they managed to whittle a cast of hundreds to 'manageable group of the most recognisable faces'. And the change in writing style is really obvious when they stop having the books to rely on. It feels like... A TV narrative. It's a really, really loving good TV show but it stops being ASOIAF.

Yeah BSG goes off the rails hard after the second season and skids across the finish line a flaming wreck with Ron Moore standing atop it and screaming “I AM A GENIUS!” as it burns down around him. So actually yeah it is apt to compare GoT to Lost and BSG, especially if those either of those “Dany goes mad and Jon kills her” or “Tyrion betrays everyone because Cersei hoodwinked him and then he dies” plot leaks are true. The ending is going to be an amazing pile of monumental garbage that is going to piss literally everyone off.

I feel like Season 4 did all the real damage (Plus the Season 3 finale twist) but the bottom line is that TV dramas need to stop doing supernatural poo poo, because they can never, ever stick the landing on the plot threads they set up.
