As much I'd like HBO to finish Dunk and Egg for him, a small-scale, episodic series probably wouldn't get enough eyeballs.

None of the potential spinoffs are about Dunk & Egg because he still plans to write the rest of them someday and doesn't want his second most famous series taken away from him too. Really.

Won't let them finish Dunk and Egg because he wants to finish them.

Today's episode of the popular Game of Thrones TV spinoff of the early 1990s direct-to-VHS fantasy series "A Song of Ice and Fire" reminded me that these books are terrible.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
I'm fine with the story hurrying up, but I wish they'd give some, any, indication of time passing. When talking about a battle that was won/lost have someone mention how many days/weeks ago it was at the least.


Everything about that scene just screams that Bronn's actor knew these girls were terrible and he was constantly afraid of hurting them during the shooting (and they were afraid of getting hurt)

Smiling Jack posted:

The show continuously underplays how dangerous the knights should be. The professionals like Jorah, Jamie, Loras and so on are literally trained from birth to be war machines and outfitted with top of the line armor.

There's a scene in the books where Victarion in full plate armor murders his way through an entire boat of lightly armored regular troops and suffers nothing more than a hand injury.

And he only takes the injury because he catches a sword blade mid-swing.

And now he has a magic(?) fire arm thanks to that red priest he rescued. If the books were ever going to get written I'd almost wonder if he lives long enough to fight the Others, and if said hand would have the same effect on them as fire or obsidian.

It was about the time that Bran was telling Sansa how pretty she looked before he watched her get raped that I got the feeling that the ending to the series these guys write will not be satisfying at all.

This actually won’t provide any more closure than if we wrote the ending ourselves.

I don't mean to be rude or a stereotype itt (oh yeah I am) but George Martin dgaf about finishing the series.

We have the show. Hopefully he wrote some outlines for D&D that he plans on one day writing the exact opposite of just to be ya know, a dirty dick (I appreciate that aspect of him.)

This will occur just about when he gets his 72 virgins and his own planet.

syscall girl posted:

Bran's belly was distended and taut, like boiled leather molded around an iron kettle. His bowels hadn't moved for days and although he could feel no pain below the waist he could hear his blood rushing through his ears the way it used to during a long climb through the parapets of Winterfell and his breath was short and wheezy. That morning, they ate another meal of Hodor's burnt squirrel and what Meera swore were herbs, although Bran thought they tasted more like dirty straw. And after, Bran in his basket, swinging with Hodor's gait fell into a fitful sleep. It was like the wolf dreams but different somehow, darker.

He dreamt something like the inky black hold of a ghost ship, perhaps one built by his own namesake, but uncrewed. The timbers creaked and groaned as though the ship were on high seas, and sure enough he felt queasy. Then it was though he had become that vast dark space, become the ship, he could feel all the interconnected parts, from the mast to the keel. Now his fingers were the spectral sailors, pulling at ropes pushing windlasses with the captain nowhere to be found. With no one to give command they labored at cross purposes, this one undoing what another had done, one furling and unfurling the sails, another mindlessly turning the rudder back and forth.

Then a voice came like a whisper from above. Was it his own voice? It was so quiet and the wind seemed to push it away, but here it came back deeper and stronger. He could barely make out the words.

"...rub.. eh.. oop ...eck."

The sailors stopped their pointless labors for once and cocked their ears.

"...iots.. the... deck!"

The sails went slack for a moment as the wind died and the voice, it was his he was sure of it now, could be heard.

"Scrub the poop deck, you whoresons!"

Suddenly, the sailors moved with purpose. In unison they began cleaning the ship from top to bottom. Bilge pumps were set in motion. Brushes and pails were handed out and the scaly rime of ages began to be stripped from the hull.

"No grog 'til we've beaten the clog!" the strangely distant captain shouted. The men quickly turned the rhyme into a lusty shanty and doubled their efforts.

Just as Bran felt the ship was being put at rights, out of the fog came another voice.

"Hodor!" it said angrily. And just like that, Bran was back in his basket.

He looked down to see his hands covered in dark, rich, creamy brown poo poo.

"HOOOODOOOOR!!!!" bellowed Hodor, trying to swivel his neck like a goose to see the foul smelling mess Bran's night soil had left down his back and breeches.

"Hodor, Hodor." he grumbled with an uncharacteristic look on his face.

Just then, Jojen returned from foraging.

Oblivious to what had happened he related how he'd found an overturned cart, nearly empty but for a couple of handfuls of old withered grapes.

"They may not look that appetizing, but I found two scoops of them. They'll make a decent breakfast I think."

Hodor bowed his head, eyes closed as Jojen went on.

"I don't know if you ate these in Winterfell but they call them..." his voice slowed as his eyes took in the scene "raisins, Bran."

uhm one of my besties is a real life paraplegic and i felt pretty bad just writing that and sharing it with him

he can take a blue pill and pleasure a woman but he has issues feeling pleasure himself

but yeah, which sister? I'm gonna say sophia turner as sansa

i have some real dirty stuff on her

edit: he isn't full paraplegic actually he doesn't walk with a cane anymore can bike to work, etc

but he took a hard hit up in the half pipe and the helicopter medics hit him with steroids so some of his c5 or w/e vertebrae healed, sorta

You didn't see the episode? Not only did Bran tell Sansa he watched her be raped, he let her know how pretty the night was and how she looked, which made it sound like it was enjoyable viewing to him. Sansa got creeped out and left him there. This was their first meeting together. (Sure to win D & D another writing emmy)

Oh that's right, Bran probably wouldn't be able to pleasure himself. Write it so that he just leaks out I guess.
