Really thought they were going to go with dark skin for the Dornish. Regardless of his skin complexion for some reason whenever I read gouty Doran Martell I envisioned the guy who plays Arnold Rothstein in Boardwalk Empire. | |

These books are deep and detailed and I think I did a disservice to myself by blowing through them so fast. But like with that link that pulled apart and pieced back together The Wire, I do enjoy these excellent essays as much as reading the books proper. | |

I don't know if you read any of the released chapters but they're mostly about Margaery's nipples. Fat dude has lost it. | |

I'm rereading Feast. I think Gyles Rosby is the most effective comic relief in the series. I'm pretty sure he's never mentioned without mentioning his cough. I am enjoying the reread, but it's still hard to defend Feast IMO. I think all the chapters are enjoyable and its not THAT fillery, but it seems like these chapters could have been spread throughout Storm and Dance to greater effect. If I had read Feast when it first came out and had to wait an additional six years for Dance, I think I would have gone insane. | |

Yeah I honestly think Mountain>Oberyn was the most soul crushing thing I read in the books. The red wedding was bad but it was portended a dozen times in the text. There was absolutely nothing to suggest that Oberyn was going to lose that duel. | |

Sigh, even they had to realize that only cat was a better line, they just deferred to your sister because the bovine section of the Audience doesn't have the attention span to remember her name. | |

I haven't been happy with how the Daenerys-Jorah storyline has been playing out for a couple seasons now. It was destined to be mucked up ever since they re-introduced Selmy, but meh. | |

I'd suggest reading back through all the prophesies now that you've finished the books. The undying prophecies and the ghost of high heart in particular have a lot of interesting things to say. | |

I'm like a million percent positive Mirri Maz Duur was not the betrayal for blood. That shit's too obvious. All three betrayals will have to come as major surprises to Dany and will probably be back to back. She'll think they're all done then they'll hit, and they may doom her |

Dunno, haven't heard anything about Victarion/Euron though, which is worrying. I don't think the II stuff is the most compelling parts of the book, but clearly the greyjoys have a major role to play in GRRM's narrative. | |

These are all so so awesome. I'm about halfway through his videos. Some of the stuff is really spot on (like who wrote the pink letter), but a lot seems way too good to be true. Still very interesting and plausible |

Hey Renton, what was the thing you said the show spoiled the bookreaders on? I can't seem to figure it out, except maybe Jojen dying. But I don't consider that much of a spoiler I guess. |

My guess is he's the Great Other or something not even in the books. But I don't even know what the Great Other is yet, just that he's been mentioned |

I love so much of the speculation on reddit. That alone makes the books better than the show. I think my favorite is Bolt-on. There's no way it's what GRRM's doing, but it's so cool |

Part of me wants GRRM to discard everything he planned for the books and just use as many of the reddit theories he can. They're just so sinister and detailed. I mean, c'mon, Varys being Illyrio's wife and Aegon their kid would be too ridiculously fun |

A theory of mine is that after Dany "passes beneath the shadow", she'll learn that Asshai'i have traveled the Sunset Sea to Westeros, and that must be her path. Pretty sure there's a passage in the book about Asshai'i goods at the Shadow Tower, which strongly suggests it had to have come from the Sunset Sea. Because no Westerosi has traversed the Sunset Sea and told the tale, I quite like the Dragon invading from it |
11-09-2014 06:57 PM

Here's my guess about the purpose of the Greyjoys: Euron has secretly converted to R'hllor and has sent Victarion to his doom when he spellbinds a dragon and thus enrages Dany and receives her greatest wrath. Euron knows this is what will get Dany to come to Westeros. She won't travel west because there will be too many ships blockading. She'll travel beneath the shadow and across the Sunset Sea, landing first at the Iron Islands with the intention of full vengeance and turning them to ash. |
