Very true. I guess we really need to segregate our show and book thoughts, but for the overarching story and significant events. Although, I guess there are things we THINK are significant in the books, that the show's treatment thereof tells us they aren't that meaningful.
I think Syrio is dead. I never really thought he could be Jaquen, or really understood the theory. It just always seemed like wishful fan thinking.
HAHAHA! Didn't he say at Comicon that he was writing as fast as he can to stay ahead of the the HBO Show?Every time this thread gets bumped I think it's news about WInds of Winter.
at Comic Con those dudes who sing "Write like the Wind" were playing and GRRM came on stageHAHAHA! Didn't he say at Comicon that he was writing as fast as he can to stay ahead of the the HBO Show?Every time this thread gets bumped I think it's news about WInds of Winter.
On a related note, the bartenders at my local bar all dressed at GoT characters for one of the Comicon nights. GRRM came in and actually complimented one of the guys on his Khal Drogo costume and ordered drinks from him.

Martin didn't come right out and say he was dead, but I don't think he was trying to be cryptic. Something about a wooden sword not being able to beat a steel one.
I definitely wouldn't want the show to surpass the books but I hope that this doesn't affect his quality of writing and that he doesn't leave too many loose ends open.HAHAHA!

I put my money on the High Sparrow. I know he doesn't really pop until A Feast of Crows.....but GOT did the same thing last year with their Mance Rayder casting......I think they're doing the same here. I just finished the 5th book....and its pretty obvious that The Faith is intregal to the remaining storyline.
He likes to hunt and fish. Killed a stag, Robert dies. Catch a fish, Cat dies and Edmure captured.
I figure it's NSFW and can't watch it now, so I assume this is the clip from season 2 where Theon gets it on with the captain's daughter on the boat he took to get to Pyke.
It's a complicated re-working of a very common theory. IMO, there was way too much evidence of mutual attraction for this clinical alternative.
Yeah... 'mutual attraction' is a good point.
for all we know, he's dead.
For the most part, absolutely. IMO, the guilt comes from keeping the truth from his friend Robert, and his wife (who hates Jon, so it's a double blast), oh, and cuz the realm went to war over it. Although the Mad King needed stopping, the catalyst was a lie. Also, throw in the fact that Ned probably knows that Jr would've been the best king in 300 years, much better than Robert. It's an interesting theory you came up with, and not without merit, I just think there's no soul or passion in it. Martin has too much of those powerful emotions making characters do crazy things, although there's lots of sacrifice in your theory which is a major theme from him, to have a resolution as dispassionate.
Sorry, paperback version of Dance with Dragons comes out Oct 29th. I'm cheap and technology adverse.
I'm guessing with the paperback version coming out now, that hardback sales are starting to decline. Which gives me hope that the 6th book should be coming out sometime next year?rascal said:
