thehandwipes Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Now most Ragnarok threads are located in the book forum, but the following article specifically brings the show into the Ragnarok debate. http://www.outcryer.com/daily/game-of-thrones-ragnarok-theory-season-5/ So seeing as the show is more or less caught up to the books and both D&D and GRRM have said that the ending to the story will bw the same even if the two stories diverge in the middle, it seems as good a time as any to bring the Ragnarok debate to the show forum.

A Ghost of Someone Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Interesting, anything is possible on the show but we will get book 6 before the shows for season 6 air, that I am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spilt Pea Soup Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I'll take that bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not off the top of my head but google GRRM statements regarding TWOW. he wants it out before season 6 and is the main reason he did not attend comic con San Diego.

Spilt Pea Soup Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 But he is visiting world con and just got back from various other trips. He also said he recently came to peace with the fact that the books won't be out until long after the show is complete. Considering he has about 4 months left and hasn't states anything approaching confidence it will be out on time, I would not get your hopes up. We old timers recognize the signs. This close to season 6 and there's been very little info about publishing...bad sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Morghulis Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Damn, I was really hoping book 6 would be out before the Spring. As for Ragnarok, I think the shows all thru the seasons and esp after Hardhome and the magnificent face off between Jon and the Night's King, who better not be his father, are foreshadowing this mighty final battle for the soul of Westeros and of mankind. Any other final battle would be comparably anti-climactic and the players now too late introduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehandwipes Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Yeah, the Night's King confuses the hell out of me because he steals the role I imagine Jon fulfilling after his resurrection and its very hard for me to believe that there is some Big Bad out there that we have not yet been introduced to. However, the 13 Others seen in season 4 dressed all in black does fit in with what I imagine the Night's Watch backstory to be. So, that confuses me and I don't really know what "ends in the same place" means to D&D. Not much, from what I've seen, but I don't mean for this to be an argument thread. As for the Ragnarok discussion in general, its a minority viewpoint, but so is The Meerenese Blot. Sweetsunray has a number of the best threads on this forum, though I disagree with a number of her conclusions, she is as well versed in Norse mythology as anyone could be and every post is a brilliantly thought out essay. I often go to her threads not to post anything just to learn. I'd recommend them to anyone, but she generally doesn't get a lot of responses. Her threads are more like a classroom than a fun discussion (argument) thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
