Winter Is Coming

She's pregnant....

It was written somewhere last year that The One Without Mercy For His Creations was behind in delivering manuscripts to his publisher. As a result the the series writers were going to deviate from the the books and take the story line different directions. So I would not be putting too much value in the book vs series now. Especially after this last season.

The worst part about last night's episode? Lena Headey used a body double.

Blasphemy

I stalked her enough on the Net remember reading something about that a few months back, but that woman is badass and I really looked forward to the scene. Her absence caused great deal of anger and depression. so I totally understand why we didn't see her.

I actually like what they are doing at this point. I'm not a book purist where fiction is concerned so I don't care if we have two stories with similar endings but different journeys. Take the Bourne movies: I think those are better than the books. James Bond: same thing.

The differences between the two are interesting, but as long as the stories are good it doesn't matter to me.

After watching that scene last night... I think by mid-season 6.... real estate in Kings Landing is going to be a bargain....

Sansa went from hero to "low pull" in short order. Hope the snow's deep.

According to this, dead is dead.

Sansa went from hero to "low pull" in short order. Hope the snow's deep.

Or at least hope Reek breaks her fall a bit.

My guess is they now become just another hunt for Ramsay Bolton and his dogs.

But wasn't she at Castle Black in the books anyway? Stannis and the army marched forth without her and the family. I always thought she was the key to Jon's survival after that last scene and the series almost confirms that with her return.

Of course, GRRM goes through people like the Marines on Guadalcanal, so there's no telling.

Yeah she stayed at Castle Black with his family, while he headed for Winterfell with his army.

While not being a particular lover of the show, this season has been the worst of the lot by a large margin. The only high point was the last 20 minutes of Hardhome.

I think the writers may have gotten a bit too confident given how the changes to the story that they made in previous seasons were recieved. They went full retard this season and it really showed.

Butchered Stannis' character for no real logical reason. Quite literally a complete 180 degree flip.
Planted Sansa in Winterfell because fuck logic, lets just go wild.
Brienne... Just, why?
OLLY THE LITTLE BOLLOCKS DOESNT FUCKING EXIST.
Dorne was just utter, utter tripe. One of the most intriguing places in the books was turned into a shite version of cunting Xena.
Finally... Jon Snow's stabbing. Shite.

In short, I blame George RR Martin for all this, the cunt. If he doesnt finish Winds Of Winter soon, I'm gonna lose my mind.

I've been purchasing the seasons after the fact on DVD... sounds like this may be one to skip. I'm about 2/3 of the way through Dance of Dragons so I'm not exactly biting my nails over what happens next.

People still use DVDs?

Cassette... I haven't found a good used record store (they usually stock used tapes along with the CDs), but I could routinely get them up until a few years ago.

I am about to go all "Misery" on his ass. He needs to get Winds of Winter completed and published. And I will seriously lose my fucking mind if he skips Jon Snow's or Arya's story line in it and makes us wait another friggin decade for book 7.

I don't believe he will last another decade.. so if that is how he intends on writing Winds of Winter, prepare for cliffhanger.

Um, who are you and why are you posting here? We used to have a member with that same name, but we haven't seen that member is many many moons.... this must be a case of Identity Theft!!! (welcome back, btw):wall::wall:

I know! I'm such a prodigal poster, at times.

And I agree K9 - he needs to get it done before he croaks. He doesn't look like he's the epitome of great senior health.

I think Hodor's going to take the Iron Throne after a massive beat down against the Mountain's zombie. No one else will be alive at this point....
