If there is one character that deserves to die in the next book, it is Dany. Of course, since the tv series was cast and Ser Fatness clearly has a hard on for Emilia Clarke the next book will probably be 90% worthless Dany chapters. This series used to be the one that I could recommend to friends and not feel like a complete dork when doing so. Low magic, political intrigue etc. Unfortunately it has devolved into the same old lame fantasy tropes that much of the genre suffers from.

Also whoever said Jon/Bran were any good you're a big stupid neep. Jon basically let himself be "killed" even though we know he's not dead and Bran was boring as poo poo because Gurm clearly intended (ha ha) for him to already be the CCTV deus ex tree exposition after that 5 year skip.

The inclusion of Dany and the dragons was a huge mistake, I agree. They've been entirely useless, and without them he'd have probably just finished a tight, polished series.

I dunno man, Dany's story is still a better deconstruction of the fisher king than most, even in it's unfinished state. She frees the slaves, but manages to destroy the economy of a region. She's young, so she makes stupid decisions that would have far less serious repercussions if she wasn't a drat queen. Despite her exile status, she's still a pampered dandy who really doesn't want to have the onus of hard decisions placed on her. To compare, Dany is naive, Cersei is paranoid. They both comparably gently caress up, but for far different reasons. Plus the values dissonance of the ghiscari compared to westerosi ideals is presented in a reasonable fashion, even if most fans don't give a poo poo. Separated from the context of the fact that's she's been supposedly going west for five books, it's a good story.

I feel like some of you are discussing ~my Daario~ ironically, which is kind of offensive to those of us who truly cherish his excellence. Please be a bit more sensitive, thanks. Except for the poster who likes that ineffectual potato pirate Davos (more like Gay-vos!!) and wishes for the death of the sweetest prince, that poster can go gently caress themself.

The entire goddamned plot of the first book was about the rebirth of magic. It didn't need to. He could have kept the bullshit to a bare minimum. Instead we got fireproof bitches, vag demons and dragon eggs. The magic problem is just part of a bigger over-arching problem. He doesn't know when to stop. Whether its food, football, neeps, nipples, nuncles, rape or "fresh baked bread, still warm from the oven". The guy has poor impulse control and it shows in his writing and his personal life. If we ever see a new book (we won't) I would wager that it introduces a bunch of new plot lines and ideas but does little to wrap up any of his other forgotten ideas. I think that GRRM's editor kept him in check for as long as he/she could but eventually GRRM got too "big" to manage properly and basically told to editor to sit there and shut up and let him do his thing.

Come on, I'm sure they'd both gently caress ~* Daario*~.I still can't believe he turned Dany into "the girl who falls for the boy from the wrong side of the tracks" for ADWD. Sure you can justify it for the character, but it's so insipid. Drogo is scowling from the stars.

It is evident that Daario is the prince that something or another from legend(the book was so terrible I forgot what it was called). He will descend from the skies(if the fat gently caress ever finishes the books), and he will make us wonder if his penis is penetrating our anus, or our's his anus. Bloody making GBS threads anus, that is.

It makes sense when you think about who Dany is-- her first love was a giant Alpha Male and defined her understanding of sexuality. After a few years dealing with fops and brutes, she's finally found a guy who meets the two in the middle and reminds her of the first man who

You goon sirs appreciate Jorah even less than Queen Dracololi. For shame! Also, Daario looks and acts like a medieval hip hop artist. Edit: Cap'n Daario numba one Stormcloak, Swallow my sword but you don't choke, See you in dat tokar as yo palanquin go by, Even with out yo dragons you still be fly, Sons of the Harpy can't handle the rear end on dis chick, But you ain't need floppy ears to hop on pirate dick.

The whole series will end up like The Dark Tower where there's a warning towards the end of A Dream of Spring telling you not to read any further. And when you do, it's 290 pages of the absolute smuttiest Fur-fic with Wolf-Arya and Wolf-Jon just mad loving Dany in every way possible like some medieval fantasy version of The Aristocrats.
