redeagl Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Here is everything GRRM said: ( Credit goes to Reddit.) GRRM RIPPING ON HOW THE SHOWS BUDGET CUT SO MANY SCENES AND SHRUNK THE SCOPE GRRM read the Battle of Meereen chapter, which includes a speech from Barristan "Not every detail is a clue. Most of your theories are erroneous. They are just words." GRRM is writing the final two books right now Characters that are dead on the show will be alive through the end of the books. There is no system to the magic in Westeros. HBO is forcing GRRM to go to the Emmy's. There are dinosaurs in the ASOIAF world "I know who is going to be on the Iron Throne at the end." GRRM will never go back and change things in ASOIAF "There is enough cut written material for an entire other book." He pictures the book characters when he writes, not the TV characters. "Peter Dinklage's Tyrion is nothing like book Tyrion." GRRM is "not perfectly happy" with the TV show. This changes many things and debunk some theories.(There will be no IT in the end.)

JonCon's Red Beard Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The most important thing is that he's confirming the existence of Blue the Braavosiraptor. All Hail Blue, she's our Queen! To avoid getting locked, I think we better focus on this information (no spoilers, no show): "Not every detail is a clue. Most of your theories are erroneous. They are just words." There is no system to the magic in Westeros. There are dinosaurs in the ASOIAF world "I know who is going to be on the Iron Throne at the end." GRRM will never go back and change things in ASOIAF "There is enough cut written material for an entire other book." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raving Stark the Mad Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 <p> [*]"Not every detail is a clue. Most of your theories are erroneous. They are just words." [/list] And words are wind. So i suppose you could say that some theories stink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 While this does not confirm 100% that it will be an IT at the end (he can be figuratively speaking), I still believe the Throne will survive the books. So... at least we have one confirmation of someone actually surviving this? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isobel Harper Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 By the way, I think you missed one. GRRM: THERE IS ENOUGH CUT WRITTEN MATERIAL FOR AN ENTIRE OTHER BOOK :drool: (ETA: No you didn't. I just missed it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter Blues Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Georgespeaking for "WHAT THE F, HIGH SPARROW IS WHO???". My initial thoughts, exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tongue Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 i bet with the realization that the show will pass up the books GRRM feels a little less pressured. I'm all for a book 8 as long as it's rolled out a year from book 7. Dinosaurs, though: I'd love to see some creationist backlash to this. :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see Big Bang theorists freaking out over JRRTs cosmology of middle earth in the opening chapters of The Silmarillion. Absolutely none. Kinda the point.

falcotron Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 There is no system to magic!!!! Whaaa?He's already said this multiple times, no matter how much some fans don't want to accept it. For instance, in 2008: "He doesn't have a magic system specifically. Some authors do but too like D&D for him... Magic has to be magic - something that violates law of nature." He contrasts his approach with John W. Campbell, who "treated magic as science... that approach to magic and the aproach in role playing games is...just science, not magic. Magic has to be more mysterious than that. He wants less Campbell and more Lovecraft. It has to be dark stuff we can't fully comprehend."So... at least we have one confirmation of someone actually surviving this? :lol:Sure, the leader of the Others will survive and sit the IT for many years, ruling as a wise and good king. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
