Like, four of Ned's children don't have typical Stark features.

It was never established that the Stark seed is strong, unlike the Baratheons.

The dragons are annoying and I hope they are gone by the end of the series.

I mean, we haven’t seen them as much in the books as we have on the show, so I’m not quite there yet.

Unfortunately every page just repeats, "all work and no play makes George a dull boy".

I would even be fine with that, as long as the book actually gets published.

Who else could have a skull that big, though?

So just how long was Cersei locked up for?

It really does seem like she has been in the dungeon for a few months.

Yes, but not sure there's really a way for that to happen on this show, unless they do the thing of moving on to covering other Targaryen eras.

But putting in a character into the family tree shouldn't be too hard.

Ryan did say one of the top three things George asked him to do was to make more use of the heraldry and the general colorfulness George envisioned from the world. But yeah, he's a good egg for going for it.

Didn’t George also ask for Jaehaerys II to be brought back into the show canon? As far as I’m aware, that still hasn’t happened.

Out of all pathological liars, LFs the worst.

Wait, did Littlefinger lie about his mother being named Alayne?

Looks like Kevan was originally suppose to die at Casterly Rock. What a strange outline.

GRRM seemed to have several different plans for Kevan. First he was supposed to be captured by the Brotherhood, and then die at the Rock. Him being killed by Varys bas definitely the best choice, though.

He may have given it to D&D.

Yeah, D&D definitely had access to early drafts.

But I still don't understand why they decided to go with much of that stuff if GRRM himself thought that it was inferior to the published material.

Fuck, now there's coffee all over my phone b/c it flew right out of my nose, thank you very much! 

I just hope that your phone is water-resistant.

I would never be able to eat Vargo Hoat, no matter how hungry I am.

I think the bigger problem is that she can’t get there too quickly. A lot of things need to be in place before Dany arrives.

GRRM said that Tyrion and Dany will be separated for “most of the book”, so I think it’s safe to say that she will return to Meereen with the Dothraki before going to Westeros.

Apparently, GRRM has written 1100 manuscript pages as of now. In current circumstances, that is good news.

Speaking of Winds’ writing process, George’s minions posted this to his Twitter:

George does gets flack for a lot of things, but I don't think anyone has ever accused him of hanging out with aliens instead of writing.

Ethan was say 13 at Brandon's death, had puberty and is now 14 at the Tower of Joy.

I still can’t get over the fact than he looks like 40-year-old man on his Wiki page.

I feel like Barbrey just said that to Theon to cover her tracks in case the Boltons make Theon tell them about what he discussed with Lady Dustin.

If that was the case, couldn’t she talk to him about food or the weather instead of her maiden’s blood on Brandon Stark’s cock?

Because persimmon sounds almost exactly the same as lion in Chinese.

Are we sure that GRRM knows Chinese, though?

I definitely don't think such an important character as Nettles will be cut from the show.

Yeah, given that every character worth mentioning has appeared on the show in one way or another, I also don't believe Nettles will be cut.

Also, if a character has only 1 chapter in the book, and that chapter is still unwritten, even though it might be possible to crack it out in a few weeks, and that chapter is supposed to be the fifth chapter overall in the book, that's a logjam preventing the first part of the book from being published on its own.

Yeah, that's true. Like the Melisandre chapter in Dance.

Not really, since there is a lot we still don't know about them. There is a theory that:

I know that this is from the show, but since GRRM was deeply involved, it might be true for the book canon as well.

I'm pretty sure that if George had his ducks lined up to produce a viable TWoW novel with 1200 (or 1000 or even 800) manuscript pages in hand at any point in the last few years, he and his publishers would have seriously considered that possibility.

But if they aren’t ready to make that move, then the only conclusion must be that Winds is a mess, with several arcs being incomplete. Or am I missing something?

On 10/29/2023 at 3:48 PM, Angel Eyes said:

There's also a theory that Cersei is Gendry's mother and she hid him away so that only her children with Jaime would inherit.

Considering that nothing ever came out of it throughout the show’s entire run, I don’t think that this theory is true.

if GRRM is joking about Winds coming in 2025, it is time to mark your calendars for 2028.

But again, if GRRM has written around 1200 or so manuscript pages, why can’t he publish at least some of it? I know that he writes non-linearly, but it did somehow work with Feast and Dance. Can’t he do something similar with Winds?

How can Aegon have been impotent? Look at the size of his dragon!

Size matters much less than experience and skill.

Plot armor.

Maybe because of Tyrion’s small stature, there is simply less for the Stone Man to grab?
