The Tyrion on the river chapters can get a bit grating if you don't realize they aren't about Tyrion they are about the other Targ and the Golden Company and Tyrion is just the point of view while calling them idiots a lot.

Lol if you think nothing happens because at the end of that Westeros is invaded by elephants.

It is granted a lot of food and wine.

Oh, I guarantee Tyrion and translator chick are going to wind up together taking care of Snow/Dany's kid as the new king/queen. It's too stupid not to be the case.

I would rather die than watch one single more episode of this show and I hope that george martin passes away peacefully in his sleep before finishing the last book.

This is a near certainty. In fact him dying would ironically be the last hurdle for getting the final books released.

It's interesting how he trained the nerds who cranked out The Expanse books but they somehow can release a new book every 1/2 years.

There's a few lovely books in that series too. I'm on the second to last one and can barely read a few pages. There's just so many dumb characters. Like the ones named Nono, Nomo, Namano, ughhh

Watched an interview with him and Stephen King. King cranks a book out in 3 months and Martin says he sometimes gets half a chapter done in that time. lol

I'm pretty sure he either doesn't know how to resolve the plot or straight-up isn't interested in it any more. Then after he dies someone will be hired to just adapt the series ending into novels.

A Clash of Kings, Prologue posted:

Davos was a slight man, his low birth written plain upon a common face. A well-worn green cloak, stained by salt and spray and faded from the sun, draped his thin shoulders, over brown doublet and breeches that matched brown eyes and hair. About his neck a pouch of worn leather hung from a thong. His small beard was well peppered with grey, and he wore a leather glove on his maimed left hand. When he saw Cressen, he checked his descent.

Have we discussed how strange it is that three separate pieces of media make reference to "onion knights" (dark souls, final fantasy, and ASOIAF)? Like is that a thing?

I think onion knight was a catch all term for knights that were raised to peerage from lowly beginnings. This Wikipedia page actually has a little bit about it.

I remember someone posting about Gurm being super steamed that people figured out basically every plot point that's been foreshadowed in the books, including the big fancy ending. Bran becoming the new Great Other and Jon brokering an uneasy peace treaty with the Others, like how literally every other major conflict ends up being resolved.

I'm pretty sure he's stopped writing the books because he can't blow people's minds anymore because he took so long to write the books, lol

Isn't the dark souls onion knight called that because his armor looks like an onion, and he's based on a dude from berserk who gets like 7 pages in one chapter before dying?

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
