Amazing I totally forgot about the Cersei eating semen thing when whenever I get to a part where a naked girl is in I'm wondering how long it takes before GRRM talks about her huge dark nipples.

I would expect 7 pictures with them promising that the other 5 will be out next year before GRRM makes a livejournal post about it.

Yeah don't know where the idea that they were "ascended fans" came from. They're trust funders who networked into it.

I think it might come from that meeting they had with GRRM where it was said they knew a lot about the series and he trusted them to adapt it, but the only real takeaway was “they knew about R+L=J”, which isn’t exactly a huge thing that most people who read the books once would figure out.

I doubt HBO going “we like this but we need to see more, to get an idea of the endgame” would have improved the writing speed.

We probably would have gotten less side stuff though

From writing completion to print I don't know what the timeline can be at it's quickest, but there's no way they delay it and wouldn't have it out at the first possible date.

The Shae stuff was one of those things where they changed it from the books but still kept the final end for the character, so it ends up kind of pointless she still betrays him and he kills her.

The only real change was she tries to kill him first when the book had it where Tyrion kills her while she's just panicking.

Will the writing pace increase or decrease with Aaron Rodgers traded to the Jets?

Decrease is impossible, although he could delete the Mercy chapter.

He’s going to take Aaron Rodger’s “I’m basically 90% retired” line to heart

And if I wasn’t a long time fan of Mark Addy, you could totally convince me he was concocted in a jar in Yorkshire, the product of a decades long project to engineer the perfect actor to play Robert Baratheon.

Dude is perfectly cast and he delivers the absolute balls off every line.

I still hate that show but they nailed most of the initial cast.

I remember when they recast The Mountain the first time and no one recognized him

At the time I think GRRM’s excuse was he could I only write at home, but he kept going to events and had no time to be home and write, so I can at least follow the logic there.

Ned was lucky the North was almost all houses that are blindly loyal to the Starks as an institution, outside of the Boltons.

I think it was said he was a good battlefield commander but just an okay fighter, which is why people tend to think he beat Arthur Dayne in an unhonorable way and he doesn’t like to think about it.

I heard there's a theory that Howland Reed Warged Dayne and is now him, which is why he's so reclusive, but I also like the idea that he just threw a net over him and him and Ned just stabbed him.

Basically they cut an enormous amount of side plots that were never got nowhere in the books anyway, and what was really needed, they cut the chase. Mostly stuff related to Essos and Dorne

About Dorne specially, they condensed some hundreds and hundreds of pages into basically 1 episode. Its interesting because, at one hand, that poo poo was incredibly dull and unnecessary in the books to begin with. But at the other hand, what they did with it in the show, while at least short and fast, was probably some of the worst moments of television Ive ever saw in my whole life

I wonder if George even had an answer for what happened to Ashara Dayne and why they named their main heir after Ned.

I guess the latter could be they just liked his honor a lot, but it’s still a little weird.
