This is a section titled: lovely Theories my Mom is Sharing About Season 6. They have been flooding in today.

Mom posted:

OMG! Season 6 photo of Shea wearing a slave gown. I think Tyrion let go of her throat and she only fainted, saw a dead Tywin, grabbed some gold and fled.

Mom posted:

Wow! Here's an interesting theory. Gendry is Cerse's black-haired first baby boy. His story arc should have ended with Red Woman sacrificing him so Stannis, who she believes to be the reborn Azor, could have Iron Throne. BUT... TV writers are continuing his story arc. Davos puts him in a boat and tells him to row away. He's been rowing 3 tv seasons and will appear in Season 6 and recognize his mother; he remembers the long haired woman who used to sing to him . Cerse used to dress up as a tavern wench and go see her baby who was taken to safety by maestro Percell. Is that cool or what?

True dat.

Mom posted:

I like to believe that Tyrion lives a moral life and is not a murder. Yes he killed his father to save his own life; yes he choked his love when madness overtook him; none of this was premeditated. she escaped the ship Bronn put her on to Pentos, with lots of money for her future, she already lost her love for him when she realized he will never have children with her and would not do adultery. Her envy and hate were evident during Joffreys wedding. And yet, I hope for his sake, that she survived because I do not want his consciousness to be stained. Self condemnation is dangerous to his Soul. So I will believe she's alive because I am the one who needs that.

I don't even want to correct her...

I like Tyrion and want to see him rule a city again and everything, but putting him in charge of Mereen is dumb. No one in Essos can vouch for this tiny drunk guy except for Illyrio who has nothing to do with anything at this point. Nobody in her entourage even cares if she makes it to Westeros but Jorah and he's banished, so why on earth would anyone care what the new guy has to say? Especially when he's apparently the son of the guy that betrayed her father.

And who the hell wants to rule Mereen anyway? It's in open revolt, under seige, and suffering from Daenarys-squatting-in-the grass disease. Just take the slaves with you and have them die along the way. Get the hell out of Mereen! I don't even care if she makes it to Westeros as long as we never have to spend another 900 pages dicking around in crazy backwards pyramid land!

Take the plunge! Okay!

I hope the show givest Tyrion the Quentin treatment and burns him to cinder. At least the new trailer hints at that. (There will be no more books)

When it comes to release date predictions, George's words are wind. He always thinks he's a few months away. Even if he's 5 years away.

"There's nothing else on my schedule until February, however, so for the rest of the year I will be right here, shackled to the computer and pounding the keys. I have half a dozen different projects on my plate, but the big one is A DANCE WITH DRAGONS, and I am going to be pushing hard on that in the weeks and months to come, in hopes of wrapping it up by the end of the year.

Wish me luck."

And wasn't it only released when it was because the publisher finally had enough of his poo poo and forced him to just take what he had and give it to them? This was of course before he had the massive clout that he has now. If he had his way people might still be waiting on it!

Yeah that's what I mean. If he had his way he would have waited until Dance was 100% finished before releasing it. Which would probably have meant waiting another few years at least.

And I just checked his age, the lazy gently caress is 67 years old. Jesus Christ.

I thought it was less "give us what you got you fat gently caress" and GRRM going "poo poo I need to get this out as hype for the TV show" that caused us to get ADWD v0.9?

They can't let the one good actor they have leave the show. So even if Tyrion does get dragoned, Dinklage will be back as like Tyrion's super secret twin brother or something.

The dragon must have three heads. He's gonna ride a dragon. HE's gonna burn down harrenhall, again, with cersei blowing jaime inside it, so her joy turns to ashes in her mouth, literally, and then he's gonna fly north and burn some zombies.

I would honestly stop watching it if they killed off Tyrion in a less than heroic, end of the series way.

I never said I was a role model
Peter Dinklage seems bored with his role, so who knows, maybe Toasty Tyrion will be a thing that happens.

Also I beg to differ that he's the only good actor on the show, hello Alfie Allen and Conleth Hill. Emilia Clarke should take acting lessons from them.

Too bad in the show they didn't make Theon's hair white because he is totally a secret Targaryen too. And obviously Azor Ahai.

Alannys Harlaw cucked Balon Greyjoy with Aerys and then birthed a child of smoke and salt who's personality is near identical to Viserys. And it's fitting for Theon to be Azor Ahai because he was reborn after being Reek, and he has Jeyne Poole to be his Nissa Nissa.

(I hate secret Targ theories, if the show makes Tyrion a Targ I might quit watching).

The only true Catwoman is Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, or Eartha Kitt.

Just a reminder that it's been three and a half months since his long, blathering apologia post on New Years and coming up on 6 years since finishing Dance. If one were to write 200 words a day, effectively good ones for all the time and effort taken to revise them to any sort of quality (on par with Dance, anyway), that idiot would have 20,000 words done which is 1/3 to 1/4 of a normal goddamn novel and about 1/8 of one of his doorstoppers, which you would think he would have left after 5.5 years.


Anyhoo, I've started many a failed project in that time, and I have yet to buy a stylish sailing cap like Martinez, so what do I know.


e: nm, that's about 1/20. So if he bothered to hunker down and really double his pace, he'd finish 1/10th every 3 months or so.

I would imagine GRRM would keep him alive until the end but only because Tyrion is an ideal POV to show the final battle and its aftermath through, in the show that is less important and killing fan favorites generates a lot of buzz.
