Mother of ****.
He's somehow become even more tedious. I'm halfway through this excerpt and find myself not giving a ****. Arrienne/Dorn chapters pretty much suck anyway as the Dornish seem wildly irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. He's managed to make them even worse. I quit, George. You've absolutely wrecked these books for me.

I had sort of a bad taste in my mouth overall toward the franchise, but that's completely erased now that HBO has passed up GRRM and moving into new territory. I'm now enjoying the hell out of it.

I'm kind of the opposite. Actually having a hard time getting into this season. It just feels meandering so far.

The books have gotten significantly harder to read but the fact that the plot points are so different from the show still keeps me excited.
I just want to know how it all ends already. |

I think the start of this season has delivered some of the best content since Seasons 3-4.

Yeah I'm torn on it. I obviously think he's the one who defeats the Nights King. And technically she has the better claim since her dad was king, and she's Johns aunt. But it's really just who takes it I guess, which she obviously wants it more.

My theory - Bran goes back in time, tells Ned "Joffrey, etc... are bastards, Cersei kills everyone, don't go south".
He tells Cat to shut up, he's staying in Winterfell. Screen goes black like at the end of Sopranos. George Martin laughs hysterically.

How great would it be if the final scene was Bran going back and changing the past then just the final scene was Ned sitting on the throne
