if being caught up in the books means they won't be in season 5, i wonder if that means no sansa either. i guess they're showing a lot of faith in martin to finish twow before season six starts production. still even if he does, which seems highly unlikely, is there anyone who actually thinks he'll finish ados before they get to season 7?

 

Davos.

 

I could see that. I got the sense that Jamie was fed up with her antics by the end of AFFC and she's finally been ensnared in her own plots and schemes. So yeah, I could see him killing her. I also got the sense that Ser Barristan is going to die in the next book as well.

 

There are a lot of characters who were in danger of dying when we last left them. I wouldn't be able to make a good guess.

 

FINISH THE SHOW D AND D.

But seriously, can't someone just finish this series already? People have been waiting two decades for an end. I hope the creators don't dog it. But this can also mean Bran's story may almost be over. He almost always has the least amount of chapters in the books, at least the latest one's, so maybe they know something we don't.

 

This is really cruel and uncalled for. I know you are jealous of her goodness, but have we really stooped to wishing death on perfectly innocent people now?

Quite the contrary. I think they've finally realized what we've known all along: Bran chapters are terrible and no one wants to hear anymore from or about that kid.

 

I like Bran's chapters, although that is mostly because I'm a fan of the Reeds and because I'm assuming it is a villainous origin story (seriously, that kid has got some issues with consent).

 

Bran was the anchor for quite a while but I am interested to see what happens with him now that the long, boring trip is over.

It actually wouldn't surprise me to see Tyrion go down. With him, Vic, Selmy, and likely Dany all crossing paths, we're not going to have all of those POVs, and death is always one nice way to take care of that little issue. And given the size the book could be, Tyrion could get a lot done and still bite it.

That said, I don't see George killing his favorite character, no matter how realistic it might be.

 

She's not innocent in the biblical sense, Wocky. That girl's had more penis than you've had hot meals.

But she is definitely going down in the next book.

 

GrandAdmiralJello, I'm in the middle of rereading AFFC and was reminded of your admission that you missed so many things when reading the books, e.g. Renly's being gay. Well, I discovered somehting that I completely missed the first time -- Archmaester Marwyn. The guy is freaking everywhere -- taught Mirri Maz Duur the Common Tongue, Qyburn mentions him to Jamie, Asha's uncle is reading his book (perhaps he has insights on how to deal with dogs). Completely missed all of that the first time around, didn't even realize he had been mentioned before when Sam meets up with him at the end.

*rolls eyes*

Just stop with the outright lies, OK? Jerks.

 

That's how I feel too. Sure the books can be coming out then, but...
He was finished 3 years ago and wanted the show to take off? Bogus
He [paraphrased] "is writing a 7th book because of popularity" is absurd when he told us after the 3rd or 4th book there'd be 7 instead of 6 because of the length.

 

So, I'm almost finished with my reread of AFFC. Must say, I'm really rather enjoying it for the most part. Needed a bit more editing (the chapters seem significantly longer than the first three books). But there's an incredible amount going on between the lines, and seeing Cersei make one blunder after another is brilliant. It's a table setting book for the end game, and it sets one hell of a table. Honestly, I probably like it better over all than ADWD, which I found dragged far, far more (especially in Meereen).

 

Look at the name of the publication; of course they don't deal in facts and accuracy.

 

So, based on set reports by Winter is Coming, it looks almost certain that Season 5 will have Jamie heading to Dorne rather than the Riverlands. I think we've reached a point where book readers seriously need to consider abandoning the show.

 

I'm done buying the BD's, but I don't know if I can resist watching the train wreck if only to tell show fans why they're wrong.

 

In that case, you definitely have to watch, from the tidbits leaking out of filming in Spain and Croatia, you'll have an abundance of ammo!

 

Oh boy!

 

There was a big update to the World of Ice and Fire app a few days ago, quite a few new entries (whole new categories "Groups", "Creatures", "Religions") plus all 5 WOW chapters that have been officially (eg on the GRRM website) released so far plus three entries from the upcoming "World of Ice and Fire" book.

 

From the images that are being released, I'm starting to wonder if they're going to merge Ellaria's story with Arianne's. This is only because of that image where she's having a conversation with Areo, so it's a big leap, but it might make sense. A character established on the show, loses her lover, probably wants some payback against the Lannisters for that, portrayed by a skilled actress... if they're going to expand Ellaria's role, it could be with that plotline.
