And he is indeed grey in House of the Dragon

And they're all there in HOTD. They're just not written very well. Maybe third adaptation's the charm, we'll see. We haven't really been introduced to this showrunner besides him writing a pretty good episode of HOTD's first season.

It's not unfinished in the same way ASOIAF is. The major plot points are outlined in TWOIAF

Great! However I'm having trouble uploading them to the wiki. I only got to upload the Sunfyre one; the others are giving this error:

Are the new commissioned artworks for the 10 year anniversary okay for use on the wiki? I see we don't have an image of Grey Ghost, so it would be great if we could use Rudolf Hima's work.

Come on, you used to wage crusades against Benioff and Weiss for the exact same things Ryan Condal and Sara Hess are doing and saying. The writing on the wall can be seen from space. It's not getting better from here.

Looks like we've gotten to the point where the site's cache needs to be manually refreshed every time a file is updated.

Am I correct in assuming that Bathi Ma Lo's name is [Maiden name] [Given name] [Married surname]? Or is Bathi Ma her given name and "Lo" comes last to show it's not her birth surname? Or is "Ma" her original family name and the given name is placed first for women in general?

Coldhands. No, I don't have any arguments.

The titles are unnecessary, but I think it's still helpful to differentiate Aegon as "Aegon III" even if he wasn't king yet at the time

Definitely episode 5. 1-4 were excellent, apart from some specific scenes (Rhaenyra septa scene in particular). Then starting in episode 5 it went from mediocre to just straight up laughable.

Like most first books, AGOT is brought down by the later volumes because of the resulting retcons, first-bookisms, and unsprouted seeds. On its own (like you said from a story and pacing perspective) it's definitely a contender for best.

Oh dang, I stand corrected. No dunking on ASOS fans this time it seems :/

Is it? When is Rhaenyra shown to care about the smallfolk in HOTD? As I understand it the food boats thing was just means to the end of inciting riots, and it was Mysaria's plan anyway.

D&D's favorite ASOIAF book is A Storm of Swords. Ryan Condal's favorite ASOIAF book is A Storm of Swords. @Ran should ask Ira Parker about his favorite ASOIAF book if you ever get to interview him. There might be a pattern here depending on how AKOTSK turns out...

And they left it up for almost 11 years. HBO just isn't what it used to be...

Immediately noticeably better. Pages no longer try to instaload and take me to an error screen on the initial attempt to access a page. Thought that was just a me problem.

It happens randomly on all pages. Sometimes an edit will simply refuse to go through (it will just reload the edit page) and I have to hit submit several times. Don't know if it's related but there's also a very annoying issue of articles not showing up in categories newly assigned to them for long periods of time, which may or may not also be related to a similar issue for navboxes

Is the wiki extremely slow nowadays for anyone else? It can take minutes to publish a single minor edit.

Probably another of GRRM's "weeds" created by his gardener writing process and then pruned. He randomly came up with something then later decided it couldn't go anywhere / wasn't worth exploring. I don't think there's anything else to it.

Uncle can also mean parent's first cousin.

Good to know I'm not the only one who accidentally refers to this season as "season 8"

GRRM wanted 4. But they're missing 6 episodes if they continue to do 8 per season.

She literally ordered Hugh, Ulf, and Addam to burn smallfolk in this very episode

Maybe, but Tyrell is a normal English surname in general. So is Martell.
