Blazfemur Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 That's the tricky part, I'd say, to filter the actual spoilers from the stupid shit. This season's going to drive me crazy, I swear dude, same here. Whats going to be tough, is not theorizing what we're seeing to what we're lacking, book-wise. There could be some good meaty answers that just wont happen, you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Ravens Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 It is not physically impossible. Yet. And that's the most optimistic thing I can say about our hopes for the future. I can see why these threads are mercilessly locked. Yes it is. It is physically impossible. Every discussion I have ever seen on the this subject dealt with whether or not GRRM could finish The Winds of Winter before the show ended. That one is still possible (Although not likely, imo). But another entire book written and published after that by 2017? Nuh uh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazfemur Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 The real question it hink would be a viable one: Will The Winds Of Winter come out before Season 6? THAT, is debateable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHouseHB Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 No. We might get Winds late this year or next year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazfemur Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Maybe, but not before Season 6 is written and shot. point taken. though, george may be more hands-on as thats going on. the final steps of a book are a few months, supposedly. He may have finished it and not released it yet, while season 6 is taping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireAndBlood. Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Yes it is. It is physically impossible. I'm going to be a pedant and say that, no, it is not impossible. This has nothing to do with optimism or expectations, but the probability of him finishing both books within the next 2 years is not 0, hence it is not impossible.

mdw4950 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 WHAT are you TALKING about?! :o Karl fooking Tanner was the greatest character in the entire series. He was the LEGEND of Gin Alley! Rh'llor rest his mother's beloved soul. Actually, when Brienne met the Hound and saw Arya, i was instantly: :o and granted, that fight was badass. And it ended as it should have, Arya leaving Sandor and Sandor's "death" left open. It's perfect, and it furthermore makes me think he'll be returning. Otherwise it hink they would have killed him off completely, if he was just meant to be an easter egg gravedigger. D&D dont do easter eggs. i was pretty torn on that scene. in the books it made a lot more sense that arya left him. he does still protect her and all, but the two are nowhere near as buddy buddy about it. not saying i didnt enjoy the change but when their final scene came to pass, i thought it didnt make as much sense for arya to act like that. i was thinking the same thing though, that it was open ended for a reason. unfortunately the injuries they showed him get, his leg being badly injured and ear taken off, could be the easter egg since those were some of the book wounds. anyway, i really doubt martin finishes the book series before the hbo finishes the tv series. supposedly the tv series is planned for 7 seasons, which is also what all the main actors are currently signed on for. as depressing as it is we dont know if martin will finish twow before the tv series is over. not to mention theres a rumor that martin is considering making an 8th book if he cant wrap everything up.

sifth Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 The creators know his ending too, so yea we're gona be spoiled and yea it's gona suck. I suppose this happens when an author like George chooses to do nothing for nearly 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazfemur Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 7 seasons isn't confirmed, is it? Why are people saying 2017? it kinda was. season 5 - 2015, season 6 - 2016, and season 7 - 2017. d&d signed up with hbo confirmed for 7 seasons of course, i would expect if things go well, expanding it wouldnt be out of the question.

Drogon'sWrath Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I mean, it's not impossible. But it's far from likely. Or realistic. Hell, I'd say there's a better chance of the rapture actually happening than George finishing the books before the show comes to an end. The only thing I can say for sure: he'll finish the books before the Cubs win the World Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Damian Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I expect TWOW to be released this fall or at best August. Otherwise the show will almost completely overtake and set up an alternative ending or spoil the real ending to the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alayne's Shadow. Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 7 seasons isn't confirmed, is it? Why are people saying 2017? It pretty much is. As to the OP and everyone else, if you think S5 is bad, just wait for the filming of S6. That's when the real spoilers will begin. For example, only a glimpse of Kit Harrington filming will pretty much kill most of the suspension of Dance. Sansa filming with Vale Knights, with her hair red or black, depending on which color, will be a spoiler. This year is the year we might find out most of the answers about Winds, one way or another.
