The show never had a flashback to the Trident.

HBO is nothing but fail.

There haven't exactly been flashbacks in the books, either, just people recounting it, sometimes unreliably/with a bias.

It might have been well-written but it doesn't really matter to the plot. And it won't stop being well-written if they don't show it. Showing it might even make it worse.

I'd probably prefer reading about Robert's Rebellion to the current plot.

Can we get a comic or something that's just Robert's rebellion or Aegon's conquest?

The present time is boring and crap and none of it is going anywhere the main characters might as well get office jobs.

It would unleash unholy hell in the tviv thread so I hope they do it.

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.

Seriously, at the end of last season I was like "Surely they'll show Ned's flashback(s) when he dies"

What a disappointment.

They didn't flashback to the Tower of Joy because GRRM is mad people figured out who Jon's parents are and so he's gonna stick to this "Ned banged a milkmaid" thing because he hates his fans and is a bad writer.

It actually has come in the North already, because you know, there was that big blizzard and all that snow around Winterfell in the last book.

Yeah. And I'm not bitter about that at all. I was promised dragons and zombies and all I've gotten has been bloody poo poo, from which the glorious light of ~~My Daaaaario shines feebly to bring us hope. gently caress you, GRRM.

The Others will never come, Winter will never come, Dany will never get back to Westeros and Rickon Stark will never, ever be relevant in any way whatsoever. I bet they paid that poor kid actor in Arby's gift cards.

I guess they need to knock the wall down before the zombie apocalypse can get going. I suppose the question to ask is how long before Sam blows Jon's horn and tears down that wall.

I'm betting on Rickon Stark ruling the Seven Kingdoms at the end. He's got a whole storyline missing from ADwD that GRRM wants us to think is irrelevant, but isn't. Besides, everyone else with a claim to the throne is dead/will be dead soon enough.

And Davos being sent to retrieve him sets him up as his new Hand.

No, i bet Rickon is going to claim Winterfell but then the north nobles will be all "You were in Skagos, no way we let a CANNIBAL rule over us". Then Lord Manderley will ask them if they want more Frey pies.

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.

I thought it was pretty obvious, Fog Tripper. Ned Stark called in saying he saw a suspicious looking Black Brother wandering through his lands, and went out to confront him even after being told not to. Less than two minutes later, the young, defenseless Black Brother lay beheaded on the ground and that racist Stark rear end in a top hat claimed it was "duty and honour".

That son of a bitch should get exactly what he gave.

At first it seemed that bastard Stark would just go without facing consequences, but luckily Robert Obamatheon's time ended and he was succeeded by Joffrey the Just, may the Seven bless his name. He's tough on crime.

Joffrey just uses crime to satiate his bloodlust by turning his court in to a hunger games arena and have them fight to the death.

I feel like the biggest loving idiot in the world right now. I bought part 2 of a Dance with Dragons and was all pumped to start reading it. Only to realise after the first chapter that I already own this, in the full hardback :|

When is the next actual book coming out and what is it called?

There's no release date, because he hasn't even begun writing, and it's called... Winds of Winter? hosed if I know, the titles are getting shittier as the series goes on.
