Game of Thrones Seasons 7-8
About to hit the 5000 post mark on the old thread, the first season 7 trailer today seems like the right time to start the final Game of Thones thread.
I'm going back to the original rules pre-2015. I don't think we need supervision or bannings. Just don't be a dick. Post anything you find online that hasn't aired yet inside of spoiler tags. That's pretty much it. I think we can all handle that... For future us, 2015 thread is here: Link Last edited by keg in kc; 06-21-2017 at 10:48 AM.. |

It will be fun to read his ending (if he ever finishes the books) as compared to what Bennioff and Weis come up with for the show.

He's probably been sitting on both finished copies of the series just waiting for the HBO series to end so the storylines wouldn't get all twisted up in the fan's minds. Plus, it would be the ultimate troll job by GRRM to yell out "I've had them right here the entire time!!"

I wonder how long after the books are finished until the series gets a reboot.

I'm wondering how the **** a fact that important to the rulers of Westeros gets lost in a book? All those grumpy maesters with all those books, and that little piece of info was just sitting there undiscovered, only to be found by goofy ass Gilly?

"Honest answer" - The writers for the show appear lazy because they don't have enough time to tell the story properly. |

There are a lot of different possibilities with the books that the show has shut off (understandably given time constraints). You have Sam at the Citadel and that could go in some cool ways with Pate and other characters. Mance Rayder is still alive and doing whatever he is doing. Barristan Selmy is still alive and kicking. And the Sand Snakes are actual cool characters. Lastly, there is Victorian which lends more depth to the whole Greyjoy storyline. And don't forget Lady Stoneheart.

I know they're pushing the story forward at a faster pace, but the Glendry reappearance felt super rushed.
