A GLISTENING HODOR posted:I just got to the part of Sophia's intellectual thread for smart geniuses where the Mensa grad students of posting are suggesting that Jon Snow being shot in the leg with an arrow is a reference to Skyrim. From the same people who thought "Battle of Wounded Knee" in Bioshock infinite was another Skyrim reference.

No, it's about the actual Wounded Knee massacre.

Some IGN Article posted:As a failsafe, Martin did tell Weiss and Benioff his overall plan for the story, but has also expressed that he'd be displeased if the show went on ahead of the books. "I don't think I'd be happy with that," Martin told EW. Things are going to get messy.

I could see some serious friction in the coming years. Good thing GRRM is coated in a layer of grease! So, which useless book 4/5 subplot will be the first to go? I can see Quentyn being left out entirely.

So, as someone who marathoned the series all at once, I like ADWD. Y'all seem almost as spergy as the Worst Thread sometimes except you're way more bitter. I mean, not that bad, but if you squint really hard.

WAFFLEHOUND posted:So, as someone who marathoned the series all at once, I like ADWD. Y'all seem almost as spergy as the Worst Thread sometimes except you're way more bitter. The old school readers had to wait years between books. I started reading after watching S1E10 (whoops I'm a dumb idiot thanks for the free to watch weekend, HBO) based on goons posting numerous  gifs and decided I needed to read the books in the interim until Quahgreay was dead as a doornail, and finished those slightly before ADWD was released, so I'm one of the lucky ones. I didn't even really get pissed at Dany's dumb "arc" because I enjoyed other parts of the books.Love the hell out of the show though, and looking forward to all of the problems in the books being loving steamrolled over by the show writers. GRRM has to do at least one ep. a season just to keep the old flavor (bile) coming up though.

nuncle jimbo posted:I agree plot and taste are important Truth. GRRM is not only shattering the fantasy mold, but the entire publishing industry. He has prepared for those with ears that hear to not rely on trivialities like "paper" and "words". Upon the appointed date, fans will take their places in Barnes and Noble cafes and sit in quiet reflection as the wonder of Westeros unfolds in their imaginations.

At least the show will provide some kind of resolution. I fully expect GRRM to drop dead on-stage at FantasyCon 2018 shortly after admitting he's only 2/3 of the way through WoW.

Those 2/3 only comes to a total of 50 pages, since he had already decided to split the book into three more. And to those people above who talk about liking ADWD after eye-cramming it in a couple of fitful nights like a starving man, in the vain hope of getting enough protein to ward off death's creep for another day, chugs a tub full of margarine and newspaper paste, I say thee nay. Its a terrible world where something needs more pages than Proust's In Search of Time, a seven volume saga, and loving War and Peace to get some kind of climax, only to fail hilariously in sprouts of poo poo.

Shageletic posted:Those 2/3 only comes to a total of 50 pages, since he had already decided to split the book into three more. So it's like Zeno's dichotomy paradox? GRRM splits book 6 into two smaller books, but splits those into even smaller books, until he sees an infinite number of books between now and the supposed end of WoW. He then concludes it is impossible and opens a movie theater.
