Anything officially related to the shows and books is getting harder to troll, so if I see something come up in a friend or local news/actor/etc feed, then it's time to go to town (slow play 'em, I say, leave the big hits still a mystery - Cat, Tywin, etc). BoT - done. E: although one dude that's usually cool erased a comment about Dany doing nothing in ADWD because it was a spoiler and I was like, no dude, not really.

Everyone wants to spoil the red wedding, but the best spoiler of all is that GRRM literally stopped writing the books, ending the entire saga, with Dany taking a huge watery dump.

Joramun posted:Speaking of Freys, I wonder if the show will still have Cat killing Jinglebell (Aegon Frey) right before she dies. Have they even cast that role? I'll bet they don't even cast a differently-abled person to play jingle bells. So... I came up with some of the spoiler's from A Dance with Dragons, that will surely mean a lot to those who just finished Feast of Crows...: Jon Connington is a gay zombie Many loveable characters like Wun Wun, Pretty Pig and "Frog" die Blackfyre is alive, but as an omnicient network of trees and ravens Brienne is maybe alive or maybe is a zombie we don't know, she really isn't in this book Victorian gets a magic fist and kills some gays Cersei gets a Brazilian wax Dany almost makes it almost the whole way to Mereen Stannis is angry about stuff Zombies can hide under the snow and wait for you to walk past and then grab your feet. so like, watch out for that. Arya isn't really blind

I forgot about that. I wonder if GRRM wrote in the nude bald walk of shame after Lena Headey was cast. Also, you forgot that Tyrion gets pooped on by GRRM's most realistic Mary Sue. And Rickon is the cannibal king of unicorn island.

Yup. Still a wee child, as it's been not yet even a year since the end of Storm in the books. GRRM has no loving sense of scale, jesus.

Why shouldn't a five-year-old have the opportunity to be the leader of a ruthless clan of bloodthirsty cannibals? That's ageism and it's everything that's wrong with this country.

The fat bastard updated his webpage and while we've lost the wonderful 1998-era design, I am at least comforted by the fact that he's promoting calendars, Wild Cards and pewter miniatures right up at the top. AND we've got a ton of new "historical" pictures of GRRM to photoshop as well. This one comes from the "Fandom" page, where he prattles on about WorldCon for about 10,000 words. It was originally called "Sunkist.jpg"

Speaking of which, I often wonder how far the life force regeneration magic that brought back Beric and Catelyn will actually go. Like, could Thoros hypothetically pass it on from her to Ned's pile of bones so that he would be resurrected as one of those walking skeletons from Michael Jackson's Ghost music video or this Disney cartoon?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2013/mar/24/game-of-thrones-realistic-history The article's meh, but it features some of the better fan quotes on ASOIAF:Some Dude posted:5,000 pages. To put things in perspective, the biggest novel in the world, War and Peace, is 1,500. Proust's seven-novel sequence, widely considered as the most infamous literary work regarding excessive length, is "only" 2,000 pages long. Which one of you wrote that? Also did you know that "George R R Martin has created the most detailed fictional universe of all time"?

SpaceMost posted:The "Daenarys with newborn dragons" miniature is uh... Something...  quote:Tom sculpted this in 54mm and then created a standard sized version to fit in with the rest of the normal line via a shrinking process. Tom wanted to recreate the Botticelli Venus in a Half Shell pose and instead of her hair flowing all over, he would use the three newborn dragons in place of the hair. You can see the Botticelli artwork down below and see for yourself what Tom accomplished with this piece. Pretty striking stuff indeed….Please note – that this piece recreates Daenerys emerging fresh from the fires of Khal Drogo’s funeral pyre. All of her clothes and her hair (but not quite all of her hair as she is Blood of the Dragon after all) are burned off. indeed. Commissioned personally by GRRM himself, no doubt.

That definitely looks like the body of someone who was heavily pregnant a few days prior, and is 13. Not that it should be accurate. Or exist.

Time does not advance uniformly in this strange land, where winters can last 1000 years! And people like... don't need food, but its cool we all eat moss that grows under winterfell, which is a natural hot bath, so like..well except the crypts of course, I already said those were cold, so maybe the hotwater isnt BY the crypts or... oh poo poo that doesn't make sense. Lets burn it down. yep, gently caress Winterfell, its gone. God I hope I never have to tie all this poo poo together, please lord. PLEASE let this HBO deal go through, I know I said I wouldn't ask for any more things after you helped me out with that "situation" at the Con in '92. And again in '03. But who knew they could use computers to do that kind of tracking? My computer is still cycling aimlessly trying to log into AOL. I'm pretty sure my Dialup is broken. How could she have emailed for help?? But as I was saying - just let this HBO deal go through, and I'll never ask for anything again. I just don't think I have it in me to finish this series.
