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

I don't know about you, but japanese fantasy art for this is the best, Akira gremlin Tyrion, animu knightsu Jon Tsunoo, and sekushii mcmanga Cersei all own.

As much as I'd love for Benjen to be Coldhands, he's probably not. We'll never see him again just like the other weird stuff from early in GoT (Tyrion's acrobatics) because GURM forgot

he needs a more spergy editor

also - someone pointed out Bloodraven warging into things in the North. So that's who the guy in the tree is? I can accept it, but why? The more the series goes on, the more important the Targaryans become.

Hearing GURM say on Conan that TWOW was going to be 1500 pages made me cry.

Luckily then he said that the show has him writing really fast now so I got a good laugh.

Does he mean 1500 pages of Manuscript or Holy poo poo in published form this is longer then Lord of the Rings?

Hey now, it probably is much faster than he wrote AFFC/ADWD.

v Benjen knows Jon's true heritage because he fathered Jon through Ashara Dayne. Lyanna's son was Hodor.

I don't remember Benjen being described similarly to Cold Hands in appearance, but all corpses probably look a lot alike after a while.

My actual guess is that Gurm completely forgot Benjen ever existed after the second half of ACOK.

yeah see, we keep waiting to find Benjen, so when some mystery dude shows up in a black cloak... you assume he might have to do with the missing dued.. but.. man... gently caress GRRM. I need some closure on Benjen! I always assumed he knew the truth about Jon.

Speaking of GRRM - I used to get angry because he is doing all this editing and writing for other books.. but i guess I just realized, he isn't doing poo poo. There is no way in hell he is editing books, they just slap his name on the book, and pay him some money. Can't believe it took me this long to figure this out.

Tyrion's acrobatics returned a little in ADWD, not to the extent of flipping around, probably because someone reminded him about them.

Other than the huge points, I don't see the TV show discounting much of the unwritten stuff GRRM will do with the show. He seems to strike me as the kind of person that will change things to differentiate from the adaptation.

I'm so tired of that vainglorious rear end in a top hat going on about what a great writer he is for killing characters when he only does it out of laziness, and no one buys into his bullshit when he randomly does stab someone anymore because we all know just how loving lazy this man is

But at the same time, it remains to be seen. I remember when season two rolled around and the Reed kids weren't cast or announced at all, we all went "well, guess Jojen's green dreams don't mean gently caress all, eh?" but now they're in the show. So some of it is for sure GRRM saying certain people don't go anywhere, but part of it also is just them being efficent writers.

You have a point there. But it looks like the show runners are fiddling with the time line for the purpose of ironing things out. And we still don't have Strong Belwas :smith:

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Several chapters will be Sansa Alayne having a dream about a city in another land where a sickness left the survivors with either great boons or dire curses. One man will be a great blue sea cow, his tabard a print of tropical scenes. Another man will have a superpower to rape, which will seem rather commonplace to her mind's eye.

All I want out of TWOW is either a Jaime and Brienne shameful sex scene or at least several more shameful boners. That's about the only plot point I'm interested in at this point.

Zombie Jon can go all Fantasy Jesus (tm) on the Others while continuing to know nothing and doinking the MILF priestess, Dany can come over and burn down Westeros while getting head from Daario, Bran can also be super tree mechazord or whatever, Cat and Arya can go all Kill Bill on the Freys and Boltons, and Tyrion can continue being a big loving goon babbling about where crossbow thrums and whores go.

I just want more Jaime feeling shame and arousal, dammit! Is that too much to ask?

Is this the first television show to follow a series of books? I just haven't encountered this situation before in my experience with shows, and it does get a annoying here and there. Beating a dead horse but a good chunk of book readers are on a high horse about knowing what happens. None of the show watchers give a poo poo when something happens in a book or how it's different in a book, and if they do they'll search that out.

clearly.
