    there is some silly, silly bullshit coming out of that broads mouth. jon snow siding with the white walkers is laughable. stoneheart siding with the white walkers is 10x laughable.


    and for all her proclamations about how 'this is the season where we will see blah blah blah' she seems to conveniently ignore the 8 solid hours of footage its going to take just to slog through the bullshit side plots they are already cast for.

    Soooooo GRRM's editor (one of them) just claimed the next book is dropping in 2016.

    Which is kinda awks considering how much of it is either already spoiled or gonna be spoiled in spring by the next HBO season...

    ok this is definitely a bit spoilery

     


    At the end of the books, what prompts the Nights Watch to murder Jon Snow is that Jon Snow decides to use the Nights Watch to march on Winterfell, both to liberate it and save Stannis and his sister, thanks to a provocative letter from Ramses Bolton claiming to have them both and demanding the return of recently escaped Reek for their safety yada yada.

    Apparently they are filming The Sacking of Winterfell right now and very much in the thick of things is... Jon Snow.

    So all the talk about how he likely gets resurrected and returns to life free of his vows to the Nights Watch are apparently on point.

    Finally got around to watching season 5. Unlike some of you, I thoroughly enjoyed the first 4. This was the first to disappoint me. It's still better than most of the crap I watch on TV, but fuck.

    I've read through this thread now after avoiding it all this time, so I won't rehash all the complaints. I just want to know what the deal is with Theon and Sansa jumping. I assumed they were committing suicide to avoid the wrath of Ramsay and deny him a Stark. But apparently they're meant to survive that fall? Didn't they just kill a girl by pushing her off the same ledge?

    Oh, and I thought 1 Unsullied was supposed to be the equivalent of 10 soldiers or something. They don't seem so badass anymore.

    They jumped into a snow bank.


    And the Unsullied math is frustrating, I agree. They started to really suck frankly.

    Hm. I wouldn't think that's an obviously safe thing to do, but then again I've interacted with snow like 4 times in my life.

    To me Cersei, Peter Baelish's, and Lord Varys conniving is what drove the show the first 4 seasons. Cersei was neutralized in season 5, Varys and Baelish just disappeared. I think a lot of season 5 was setting up season 6, so looking forward to it.

    Hoping Jon Snow is stays dead. So far GoT has shown a lot of balls by killing people off.

    Ramsey Bolton has turned into my favorite character of the show. He is one bad mother fucker. Expect he will die soon into season 6.

    What happened to Queen Margaery? I enjoyed looking at that hot little bitch.

    The thing is, if Jon Snow stays dead (and he pretty clearly cant), the show devolves into a soap opera with no real central plot basically. Perhaps they could gut their way through that but I cant see it.

    But yeah I 100% agree on how the Machiavellian power struggles drove the show and once those evaporated, things lost a lot of momentum.

    It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?

    The only thing that bothered me at all this season was how badly hurt a few of those dragons were, from like spears and shit. Certainly not the fearsome beasts of old that fried entire armies where they stood. No Field of Fire, this.

    just started rewatching the series and season 1 was the balls, again and still, I guess. I'm so not looking forward to reliving Theon's journey, tho.

    Hey guys, great news!

    There is going to be a Game of Throne MOVIE.


    http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-en...-a6671706.html


    Apparently tired of splitting profits with his ghost writers, Fats McGee has decided to wring some extra cash out of a movie deal.

    In his defense, the budget attached to GoT is absurdly small; the VFX studios literally work at a loss. So I cant realllly be mad at him for raking a few extra shillings out of the deal.

    That said, lol the fuck ever.
