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.. |

I have this dream that he has actually finished the books but is sitting on them until the series is finished on HBO to keep the different continuities separate. I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment.

I read he's completed 7 chapters of the last book, and can be found online. I don't seem to have any luck finding them though.

What do you think of Melisandre's magic necklace she takes off which changes her into an old lady? That one surprised me.

I think it's possible Howland is guarding Jon/Aegon's belongings, instead of the crypt plot, having a sword, his dad's harp, papers proving the marriage, etc. That way there's multiple sources for the big reveal to the northsmen. Sam, Bran, Howland all together confirm it Anyway, if Howland has something that could prove the heritage, it would also explain why he's not in the show so much. He can't leave with the property and he doesn't want to leave it unguarded. It's that telling and important of an item/items. |

He's finished 7 chapters out of the 6th book. There's going to be at least 7 and quite possibly 8. At his rate of work he's not finishing the series.

This. Even if he does manage to finish book 6, I don't think he lives long enough to finish 7, let alone the eventual 8 & 9.

Since there is usually 6-9 years between books and his age, no way he finishes the series himself. That's not really a problem, a good writer familiar with his work should be able to finish his work.

I looked up how he works. Fascinating. He has been surrounded by Medieval books from customs, to tools, food, fashions...you name it.

I'm holding out hope that he has taken so long to get book 6 out because he had to also get pretty far along into book 7 to make sure it all flows together and that all the incredibly complex webs work out correctly. Also, once the show got past the books (which happened in season 6), he may be wanting to let the show play out while he works on both of the last two books. That's probably wishful thinking on my part though. But if he hasn't made his way into writing book 7 by now, the odds are pretty slim that he can get it all finished. Here is a link that should have the sample chapters, but to be honest, they won't make much sense to you if you've only watched the show and have not read the first 5 books. The books and the show are light years apart at this point. http://towerofthehand.com/books/106/excerpts.html |

Watched Conan the barbarian the other day. Also. There was a small movie called fire & ice, characters partially created by frank frazetta (drew a lot of the Conan art).
Anyway. I was amused by some pillowbiterue similarities between the Conan movie. |

Roberts rebellion sounds the best of the lot. The only problem with that is that everyone knows what happens.
