Buying a dinner with GRRM seems pretty easy...

Like, just walk up to him with a pack of Greggs Sausage Rolls and he's probably going to appreciate you for the rest of his life

Q: Do you have an end game for the Dead in Mind?

RK: For the books? I do....You'll eventually be able to see that it all kind of comes together.

Q: There's still plenty of story for the TV series to get to; you could tell the writers where you're going, and...

RK: I would never do that. That's one thing I'm disappointed in GRRM for doing. He should have just been like, 'gently caress you. You make it up now, I'll get to mine when I'm ready.'

He can do that because he's not old, grossly fat, and doing a complex series in a made up world. I doubt HBO would have green lit this without being able to offer some certainty to existing fans. They didn't know it would succeed enough to allow such vapid poo poo to be passed off.

Sansa chastising Littlefinger about Ramsay was the most amateurishly written scene in the show's history, but Sophie Turner's acting was great in spite of it (such a trooper) so it's pretty much a wash. The episode's ending was as ridiculous as it was epic, time traveling mind control is always a great plot device in genre fiction and Bran Stark is the Antichrist. All in all very much worth the twenty-year wait since Hodor was first introduced on the page.

Haven't caught the latest ep, but she's really been great. Dopey Mcopenmouth is predictably dull as ever, but she's really elevated their scenes.

And I liked the image of the zombies rushing through the cave tunnel like poop up a badly taken care of toilet.

These are my thoughts of the show. Held off until I got five eps, then blazed (heh) through them over two nights. Pretty enjoyable that way.

gently caress the books.

Doesn't it have Inquisitor Sansa and Arya the Calixus assassin?

2) I'm pretty sure there aren't any commercial tailors out there, because if there were we'd know about the typical stall, the history of the trade, and the basics of spinning thread by this point

they are basically an order of monks that have no money or clothes and in deserting, they are running away from the most remote part of the continent. I'm pretty sure there aren't any H&M's around.

I'm SURE walking around in a respirator at all times in an (even more) OPEN BIDENing society is definitely not a recipe for disaster and anyone that's not cool with getting harassed by CHUDs are cave dwellers. I've got good brain!

It's only in the epilogue that Sansa's actually an inquisitor.

Right here.

I always enjoy hearing any feedback you may have, even though this was written years ago.

Edit: As a bit of an explanation, this all started out as a joke, and over the course of a year or so it grew to its final form, posted piece by piece in a previous edition of The Bad Thread. There was never an outline from the start or anything like that, and a lot of it was written based on audience requests, so the story kind of wanders.
