Mother of Dragons Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I think he has said this a few times but always says he really likes PD's portrayal. At the very least I've definitely heard him comment on how hot PD is in comparison to book!Tyrion. ;) Exactly. Show Tyrion is too good looking to be book Tyrion. When I was doing my reread, I had forgotten how monstrous Tyrion is described as being. And now missing a nose on top of everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I don't think he meant about Tyrion's looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great and Mighty Poo Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 :lmao: sorry, it's just that... I also work in technologies and I've seen some cases that well... (my ex is an electronic engineer and he cannot write 'laptop' right...) Well, I can relate with you ex I couldn't spell my way out of a paper bag. Which is kind of embarrassing as I'm an avid reader. But back on topic:I want more dinosaurs in the next books and/or learn more about this velociraptor. Exactly. Show Tyrion is too good looking to be book Tyrion. When I was doing my reread, I had forgotten how monstrous Tyrion is described as being. And now missing a nose on top of everything else. I actually imagine Drinklage now because the grotesque nose book Tyrion has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehearted Snake Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Wait ya'll but this --Characters that are dead on the show will be alive through the end of the books. Like Barristan and Stannis??? I mean, that sounds like no one else is going to die and that's about as un-GRRM-y as can be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danelle Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 GRRM RIPPING ON HOW THE SHOWS BUDGET CUT SO MANY SCENES AND SHRUNK THE SCOPE Well that was impossible to avoid although it is irritating that they choose to focus more on certain characters and situations [spoiler]Compare last season's Jon Snow's epic confrontation with the Night's King to the brief, sad battle which led to the death of King Stannis Baratheon. That's right, me a fervent supporter of Dany, I called him a King.[/spoiler] "Not every detail is a clue. Most of your theories are erroneous. They are just words." I think that with the exception of the theories about Jon's parentage and the Blackfyre theory most of the theories are wishful thinking. I wonder if he was thinking of the JW pregnant theory. 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. I knew it! Here's hoping that soon he will finish them! [spoiler]Let us hope that this means that Mance and Ser Barristan will make it until the last book.....Please. [/spoiler] "There is enough cut written material for an entire other book." Will he release them, at least online, once the books are published? "I know who is going to be on the Iron Throne at the end As long as it isn't Ramsay "Peter Dinklage's Tyrion is nothing like book Tyrion." GRRM is "not perfectly happy" with the TV show. Well, obviously.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HexMachina Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 btw, I don't think he's writing the two final books at the same time due to, well, time, but because he's tying all the knots together. :dunno: That is possible actually, and I recall reading something of that sort before. He writes by POV rather than chronologically, so some of the POV chapters he has written may be for DoS. Think about the [winds spoiler] [spoiler] Mercy chapter, which was supposedly the first intended Arya chapter after the five year gap. So he has, technically, written Dance and Winds simultaneously.

The Drunkard Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 GRRM is writing the final two books right now Man, I hope this means a shorter wait for ADOS. More happy about this comment than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equilibrium Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 "Not every detail is a clue. Most of your theories are erroneous. They are just words." You can bet it isn't, I am in the middle of n-th reread I am amazed. I spent last year reading, researching and crafting so many theories, reading bits and searching through books, that I thought every word is a clue for something. It is just that there are so much potential clues, but when you look at it relatively, there is not, the books are just huge and there is bunch of stuff that can be no clue whatsoever. Even some clues to the events are bound to happen accidentally, not to mention symbolic clues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drekinn Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Are these tweets true at least? I hope this means TWOW could be released a little before or along with the s6 premiere. Dinklage doesn't give a shit anymore. He was good in the first seasons, but with the material in the last one I can't blame him. George is probably jealous for not coming up first with Ramsay's 20 good men or ''bad pussy''. Apart from Hardhome s5 was a total joke and I don't see how or why George would like it.

Mithras Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 "Peter Dinklage's Tyrion is nothing like book Tyrion." This is for those who believe that Tyrion will be a hero to save the world. There are many subtle clues pointing that Tyrion is turning into a monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, that sounds like no one else is going to die and that's about as un-GRRM-y as can be! It Mago, Jayne, Pyp and Grenn...actually quite a few in there. Jeyne would be my hope, along with Barristan. All in all some sweet info...gonna have to read the thread on the raptor now as I always assumed from the title that it was trolling...and of course words are just words. People have theories based on everything here. It's mental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equilibrium Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 "Not every detail is a clue. Most of your theories are erroneous. They are just words." And also most of the theories, most can mean 51% of them. Of course most are erroneous, there are several theories on who, say, Daario is, only one of them can be true. There are plain stupid or troll theories. Also lots of theories are much closer to hypotheses then to theories, good deal of those will not be true, it's only rational. Pretty much all of well established theories can still be true, along with some of the conjectures and hypotheses. I hate people who will use this on every thread and go "That can't be true, GRRM said most of theories are wrong" thinking only two or three theories can turn out true. Everything is relative here as most lines are not clues to anything and we still have thousands of lines that are probably clues, same with the theories, we have hundreds of theories, saying most of them are wrong is not saying much or putting theoretics down as a species Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocs Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 This is some pretty good info! Don't know how accurate it is, tho. He pictures the book characters when he writes, not the TV characters. This. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason to say most and mean 51% is to mis lead people and I'd say he's doing his best to stop that...and too many crazy theories which leads to too much hype and stress for himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he thought like 75-80%, there are hundreds of theories, there are still hundreds of valid and true ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balerion the kitten 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:Well no. He's putting himself under a lot of pressure to get Winds out first, and if I had to guess why it's because he wants to be the first to reveal R+L=J. "He pictures the book characters when he writes, not the TV characters" makes me sooooo happy. If only we could have pictures of what these characters look like in his head :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equilibrium 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. Yeah he finally maned up about the shows lack of quality, still all this time subtracts from his integrity, he should have spoke up long time ago. They make him, fuck, if it's not in the contract, he should not go and fuck HBO In the beginning I was staunch supporter of chaotic and unexplainable magic in ASOIAF, but other people have led me astray with their fancy theories and clues and facts, shame on them, I was fucking right, it just made sense. Boy will I be happy with release of cut material, or Martin can tie it all in, with extra, imagine Game of Thrones through eyes of Littlefinger or Robb or fucking Pycelle, or advantures of some Pentoshi slave or some sparrow, or extended cut of Arya's travels. It is nice that he is into it and has a plan but I hope he will publish something, I would rather have one book now than two books five years from now. But the fucking dinosaurs, it's probably just a sideline or at worst a joke, people tend to get GRRM to much at face value, I don't expect dinosaurs to feature more prominently then now.
