they should probably just openly go their own way moving forward. i might even start watching the show again if they did, for what that's worth

 

i'm pretty sure that's exactly what they're doing. characters like bran and sansa are pretty much completely caught up so they don't really have much choice unless they're just going to drop them for the whole next season.

 

Because only Martin knows the broad strokes too, they know as much as him.

 

yes, we get that. which leaves martin creating his universe, and the show writers creating theirs.

 

You're saying that as though he's not the creative mind behind the whole thing. Until he finishes, he'll always know more than they do.

The geniuses behind sexposition, rocket-powered turnip carts, sassy Talisa, and every character in King's Landing paired up and walking together through a garden.

 

I hope no one brings their dog to the battle of Slaver's Bay.

 

Seeing as it's hardly even started.

 

Dogs not even necessary. Just a key that may or may not open a kennel.

 

He was married to her. Even if he didn't want to sleep together, he could've been far kinder and more understanding than he ever even considered being. There's no reason she should ever have had to suffer that treatment from the person who promised to love her forever.

 

By which you mean she had a long monologue trying educate him on some basic facts and attend to him in general. Because, of course, for a narcissist of that level, he was the only thing in the universe that mattered. But who was there to see to her feelings? Who reassured her that she is indeed very beautiful? That one day she might actually have a happy marriage? Who wondered if anything was awkward or confusing for her? No one. Because as far as he was concerned, she was something between another servant, a prop, and an outright piece of garbage.

 

George Martin: some fans have correctly guessed the ending, and he won't change it

He didn't say anything about the ending. It was a general question about fan theories, not the ending in particular.

 

I bet she's educated a few long monologues in her time. Eh? EH?

No but seriously, she's got tenure lecturing in advanced penis.

The entire army of Highgarden, her brother with his weird bisexual incest.

Funny you should say that; throw in a very nervous goat and four of her father's soliders and you've got a typical night in Margaery's chambers.

By chambers, I mean to say her vazhine hang live sleeve of wizard's robe!

 

If it's Dany or Tyrion we riot. I didn't sit through turtles and Mereen for it to end like this.

 

I'd actually laugh if Dany died before reaching Westeros and her whole plot was just a giant red herring to make us think it was important and she, her unsullied, her dragons, all just die in Mereen.

 

No, I enjoyed parts of it but I felt it could have been trimmed down a lot. I believe there was a better book in ADWD than the one we got. If there was some hardcore editing it could have been great.

Theon's chapters were pure gold in that book, it was like old GRRM and not book 4 and 5 GRRM.

 

like that would be news.

 

My money's on Cersei, and Jaime will be the one to kill her.

 

I think Jaime or Brienne.
