I gotta say there is a delicious irony if Jon letting the wildlings through directly resulted in Rickon getting killed.
I hope it's not allowed. Was something big just leaked? I saw a big post on a another forum that I hurried up and clicked X on.

If Jon attacks Winterfell, i hope Rickon would be the one who kills Ramsay.

God they're still making those? I tuned out after book 5 when it became obvious that GW was gonna stretch that shit out for as long as possible.
Well a certain other character literally came back from the dead so plot armor isn't a problem isolated to Ramsay Snow.

Today I was told about the fellow spaniard who seems to be pretty accurate with his predictions on youtube, which apparently even HBO closed several of his videos due to copyright infringement. So I decided to watch some of his videos, and holy shit, this guy knows his stuff, and so far he has been at least 90% accurate with all that has happened until this third chapter.
I understand this guy has some internal source who might be leaking all of the details he talks about in his vieos, but I also feel this guys is almost all day in reddit looking for anononymous leaks.
I'm truly surprised, and spoiled, lol

Agreed. I'm not looking forward to those scenes and I have a nagging suspicion they'll be drawn out longer than need be.

oh yeah, the latest release is number 37, mind you this is just the novels, not counting multiple novellas, short stories, audio dramas etc (although those have by now been mostly collected into anthologies which are part of the main series of novels)
but hey, on the plus side, no need to wait half a decade for a new book
I thought the whole point of Dany being with the Dothraki was to make a heroic return to free Meereen from a siege with an army of horsemen on her back. Without the siege of Meereen, it makes the whole plotline of her being away from the city rather useless. Just like Quarth. -_-

Umber is also sort of an Oathbreaker right?
I've wasted too many days at work because of his videos.

I kinda wonder, what dany is going to do about the rampant slavery among the Dothraki, will she prohibit it among them too? will they follow someone who abolishes slavery? will she fight them over it?
Well in the episode he is technically the only oath breaker.
But only his dad swore an oath. Smalljon doesn't bend his knee!

Did they really have Pycelle shit himself? Really? Did they really have that Saturday morning child's cartoon toilet humour in this show?
That is even worse than bad pussy.

Problem is said "Superior" version won't be complete in at least a decade, if not longer, if not EVER.
But, he shits himself when he dies doesn't he? Just sticking to the books!
As long as he maintains his quality I'm ok with this. If he can't finish it, or dies, the work will be passed off to someone else with his framework and notes to finish.
If he ends up finishing it himself, he reconsiders a bunch of stuff while he's writing - so the end product of the books will be more divergent from the show as more time goes on.
Depending on how bad the show gets towards the end, more time spent writing will be better for fans.

lol even alt shift x sounds dissapointed, he used to be more positive about the show.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
That's a very well made video and explained a lot I missed. Definitely subscribing to their channel. Thanks for posting this.

Since it's been a few years since I last read them, I looked up what happened in A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons, and holy shit, they really diverged a huge deal in the show, didn't they?
Makes me wonder how much of the stuff happening in these last three episodes is even going to happen in the next book. I could see there being some really huge plot differences by the time both the show and books are all wrapped up.

No, it isn't something that just leaked, but whatever, I'll keep it to myself instead of commenting.
If/when what I think happens ends up happening I'll bring it up then.

Dany goes West, Jon comes South, everyone hugs it out and fights the WW at the end. That's about all you can bank on both things doing.
I assume he's just saying that because he's pissed that people keep reminding him he's a fat old man who could bite it at any minute. I just can't imagine anyone screwing over his fans that have brought him so much fame and money that badly.
I fail to see how some form of closure to fans who have investing so much in the series if a worst case scenario should occur is anything close to entitlement.
Holy shit Emilia looks absolutely fierce in that photo.
Prettiest I've ever seen her.
You think so? I wouldn't be surprised if Cersei makes it to the end.
You just used the word "investment". Because you expect a return. You feel like it will be an injustice if your investment doesn't yield a return? You feel... entitled to a return on that "investment"? You think he owes you "closure"?
She didn't. Martin admitted as much in an interview. Though I don't remember with who
Sansa as Alayne Stone had to seduce Harry someone who was the chosen heir to the Vale as chosen by the lords of that region after they were married into fighting Ramsey for winter fell
However D and D decided to combine Sansa and Jeyne Poole for plot convenience,
and unfortunately chose that Sansa would be raped over having Sansa go all Dominatrix on Ramsey
I don't think GRRM ever said anything vindictive like "when I die all my notes get burnt and no one will be allowed to finish the books!!!!" That just sounds like a bad round of internet telephone. What GRRM has said is that he doesn't have any actual contingency plans for an untimely death, and that he doesn't have a ton of written notes or full outlines because that's not how he writes. If he dies, he dies. He doesn't plan on dying before he finishes the books, so he's not wasting time to plan for that outcome when he can be writing the books instead.

Staring with the 4th book (and IMO contributing to the massive decline in quality) GRRM no longer allows his editors to make comments or suggestions for improvements on his drafts when he submits them. I can fully believe that the man does not want anyone else to touch his story if he dies before finishing, regardless of fanboy hate mail affecting him. To be fair, lots of creators become super attached to their works in such a way that they don't want anyone else to work on them or even critique them (George Lucas and Anne Rice come to mind).
The man needs to let go of HIS entitlement. His pride is probably a more suitable word. I can't believe he'd not pass along the work to someone he trusts to finish for an invested fan base that gave him the spotlight.
Considering the quality of the EU and episode 7 George Lucas had very good reason to be worried about future of his work once he decided to step away from it
I can't believe people still say shit like that. It's such a stupid thing to suggest. Do you not realize how annoying and insensitive it is? It's not about pride or anything. People who keep asking an author "HEY DO YOU HAVE PLANS FOR YOUR BOOKS IF YOU HAPPENED TO DIE TOMORROW? YOU'RE OLD AND DON'T LOOK TOO HEALTHY..." are like family members who would ask an elderly family member "HEY HAVE YOU FINALIZED YOUR WILL YET? HURRR? HAVE YOU???"
Sansa was already almost-raped a few times in the books, I wouldn't be surprised if her marriage to Harry doesn't quite work out like people expect it to. In fact, Littlefinger manipulating her into marrying Ramsay isn't that different to what he's doing in the books. People are just assuming Harry will be dominated by her and won't do awful things to her.
It will be interesting to see if Sansa and LF interact this season. If she's still trusting of him and all that then I'll agree the show did badly, but maybe her experience with the Boltons is going to stick with her and she'll manipulate LF instead.
