The big surprise there, for me, is that he's loving married. I've been suffering Wild Carditis for over ten years and had no idea he's married.

He only just got married, it's okay. Their nuptuals went smoother than some of the others GRRM has dreamt up, but still they walked under a storm of swords, as it were

Let's just hope Brandon Sanderson isn't busy when GRRM kicks the bucket before he finishes ASOIAF

I would be totally okay if they went Walking Dead on the TV show and gave it an alternate plot, but still somewhat following the source material. Blade_of_tyshalle posted:The nice thing about Sandy taking over is the sex scenes would get a lot less creepy and gross. Female characters would be a lot better written too in my opinion. GRRM and Robert Jordan both suck rear end at writing girl POV chapters, but the Vin character in Sanderson's Mistborn series is really believable and I think one of the best written female characters written by a male author in modern fantasy novels.

Honestly, I hope GRRM dies and someone else finishes the series so there will be, at last, a female POV that isn't a cum-thirsty harlot or a previously cum-thirsty harlot that is now a mom and is more reserved at being a big dumb failure rear end in a top hat.

That's always what I think when I read that story, after I wipe the cum off my keyboard. "I hate fan fiction, let me write a story where an author gets to bang his characters." But I guess the thing is that he doesn't want anyone else to bang his characters, because that would be lazy.

Vin's okay. Boring as hell, though not nearly so much as Elend, and she turns straight into boy-crazy Sansa whenever she's in a room with other women, but okay for all that.

Maybe it's because I started off watching the TV show, and not only that but would normally watch it right after The Newsroom, but I always thought the female characters in this series were pretty good (except for Dany diahrrea of course).

The opening is also appropriate as gently caress, and funny as it gets more and more complicated for casual viewers.

I love how they have to keep stretching the intro music when they have to show off all their pretty miniatures. It's like a confused orchestra stalling for time because the conductor seems to have a heart attack.
