Re: End of Thrones.

(Also, I have to admit, I got "Bored of the Ring" -- to coin a phrase -- early on, and never bothered to slog all the way through to the end.) heh, Harvard Lampoon beat you to it by about 40 years: https://www.amazon.com/Bored-Rings-Parody-Harvard-Lampoon/dp/1451672667 . That stated, the ending wil...

Re: End of Thrones.

1) What will be your favourite ending of Game of Thrones? It can be anything you want, what would you like to see. 2) What will be your least favourite ending of Game of Thrones? Like really eghhh. 3) And what do you think will be the most likely end of Thrones? What is the most likely end of this ...

Re: Have I gone too far with my butt hurtedness over S6?

Very well said. Also, after 5 seasons, there is no need for character development, things come together, we get solutions and endings leading up to the final act. Well, not quite no need, but there is much less need! At this point, the storytelling is relying on the characters already having been d...

Re: Season 7 Major Events Predicitons

They'll meet again. Did you forgot Jaime's line from season 5 about dying in the arms of a woman he loves. It sure as heck ain't Mad Queen Cersei. ;) Ah, but it was when he said it! Foreshadowings usually are ironic. People say this sort of thing all of the time, and it means: "I want to die surrou...

Re: The She-Wolf of the Vale

Ser Lothar might take on much of the role in Sansa's storyline as Brienne takes on in the show. I think that this bit plus a few others are strong hints that Sansa's treatment from Harry the Heir is going to be pretty bad: perhaps not as bad as what she gets from Ramsay on the show, but still pretty...

Re: Samwell at the citadel

Yes, D&D said there were only about 10 of these swords even though there are 14 mentioned by name in the books, and so the show may well be going in a different route. And the books may never bring up the 200 missing swords, either. Hopefully, the resolution to the White Walkers will not involve Va...

Re: Season 7 Major Events Predicitons

Welcome to the forum wimsey! I was just thinking "Wimsey should join and add his perspective" and here you are. Thanks! And I apologize for the sulphurous fumes and the flash of light: um, no idea why that happened.... :twisted: Anyway... in certain ways they are not wrong. Also, they have suffered...

Re: The winds of winter release date

At this point, I do not think that it will come out before the TV series is done. Given that there is next to no chance that Martin will finish the final book, and given how much the quality of the writing deteriorated in the last two books relative to the first three (although Dragons was a hell of...

Re: Samwell at the citadel

I think Sam is going to discover Jon's true parentage. Right now, there are only two characters that know who he is - Bran Stark and Howland Reed. Or, Jon's half-brother/cousin and someone who has only been in the show in Bran's vision. Why should anybody believe either of them without proof? If th...

Re: Season 7 Major Events Predicitons

Hmmm, particular events are tough to predict. My prediction is going to be much more general: the story is going to be about choosing one's battles. So, much of the action will involve the major characters trying to convince each other and themselves that one enemy is actually more important than an...
