I was watching a season 1 clip and I gotta give it to the directors, they made the smart choice about keeping the passage of time vague (till they completely threw it out the window last season that is), because holy poo poo  Had he been on that other "highest grossing show on TV" he would have been axed seasons ago for having the nerve of going through puberty

He's managed to scrape by and survive every big fight he's been in, and each one of those I was half-sure he wouldn't. But then again, he's also a bit of a comic relief character when not killing everything in sight, so I'm not optimistic. Happy making GBS threads!

lezard_valeth posted:If I were D&D and knew ahead of time that the gurm was never gonna finish his series, I would have cut from the start all the inconsequential plots that went nowhere (Dany loving around Qarth and Mereen too. The Sand Snakes plot could still be salvageable) I know D&D have been exposed as frauds but they still do better than what 95% of people would come up with.

I always try to take goon criticism with a bucket of salt, because when they inevitably share what they think makes high quality TV the result is typically laughable. Not that the criticisms themselves are necessarily bad or unwarranted, just provides me with a little perspective.

beanieson posted:Lmao is this a book only character? Yes. His chapters rule because he's trying to marry Dany but she doesn't seem to know about the plan to ally with Dorne, so he can't get her attention. His chapters are all him going through the cities that her half-assed style of ruling has ruined. Another book only character: Victarion Greyjoy. He's an insane pirate with a red priest by his side and a lava hand. He rules. Could have been in the show instead of the Sand Snakes.

Though someone running around with a magical lava hand is definitely one of the first things you'd remove if you want tone down the fantasy stuff.

Victarion's wife got pregnant by Euron, so Victarion had to beat her to death with his hands. He's pretty wild.

Victarion and Euron were merged into one character called Euron. Literally all Victarion has done in the books is spend book 6 sailing to Slaver's Bay with a Greyjoy fleet, moving at the speed of plot timed to arrive coincidentally at the point where Dany needs a fleet to take her to Westeros. He has a magic trumpet he thinks will let him control the dragons, and he's going to be the xth character to die proving that that's not how dragons work.

I bet Winds gets released. Even if GRRM dropped dead tomorrow there's probably enough of a manuscript written to cobble together a novel. The book after that will never be released.

I don't know what book character Ian McShane was supposed to be but I'm guessing it was that grizzled priest/war guy that talked to Brienne in (a feast for crows??). He had that awesome long monologue about how war looks from the soldier/peasant's point of view, the show really should've used that.
