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.. |

Speaking of that lazy ass procrastinating old fart.....
https://www.polygon.com/2018/2/15/17...orge-rr-martin Game of Thrones creator suggests fans will be waiting a while longer for sixth book Author George R.R. Martin knows you’re tired of waiting for new material, but he’s asking you to be a little more patient. Martin responded to fans questions on his LiveJournal page over The Winds of Winter’s status, the sixth book in the popular A Song of Ice and Fire series. Martin said he’s throwing his efforts into Fire & Blood, the two-volume encyclopedia for A Song of Ice and Fire. The plan is to finish the first volume of Fire & Blood before returning to The Winds of Winter, the author said. “The first volume should be completed soon,” Martin wrote. “The second is hardly begun. Most of Fire & Blood consists of the ‘sidebars’ I originally wrote for The World of Ice and Fire. Abridged versions of some of those pieces appeared as ‘The Princess and the Queen,’ ‘The Rogue Prince,’ and ‘The Sons of the Dragon,’ but these are the full versions, together with some chapters that have never appeared anywhere.” Martin didn’t tease out when The Winds of Winter is to be expected, but suggested only Fire & Blood’s first volume will be released this year. That means those waiting to find out what happens after A Dance with Dragons, which was released in 2011, will have to wait at least another year before continuing the main saga. This isn’t the first time that Martin has acknowledged the lengthy wait for fans. In January 2017, Martin wrote that he thought the book would be released soon, but acknowledged he’s said similar things before. “Not done yet, but I’ve made progress,” Martin wrote. “But not as much as I hoped a year ago when I thought to be done by now. I think it will be out this year. (But hey, I thought the same thing last year.)” Diehard fans should be happy with some new, canonical and official A Song of Ice and Fire material to work with in the meantime. Martin didn’t hint as to when the book is to be expected, but information should become available in the coming months. Game of Thrones, HBO’s popular series based on the Song of Ice and Fire series, also returns to the network in 2019. The eighth and final season will end the televised epic that’s been playing out since 2011. Will the release of The Winds of Winter and Game of Thrones’ final season coincide with each other? Who knows, but it’s great publicity for both if that’s the case. |

Just like all fun GoT theories they're not possible because the showmakers pretty much adhere to KISS in the last two seasons.
I love the show but it has no more bass to drop.

I can’t imagine there are any book readers only left.

Agree it is very thin. Littlefinger says in an early season something along the lines of It's what you don't know that can kill you. The thing he didn't know that cost him his life was how much Bran knew. The man who pays for all the knowledge in the world that he can gather went up against the one that actually can know everything. He lost, and he died. If he was still alive, it would be a shitty story as well as a surprise.

6 episodes and a shit ton of plot lines to finish before then. No room for new plot lines or bringing back little finger. He and the fans had the conclusive moment last season. Now everyone will know his part in creating this conflict. I wonder if it will make Cerdi back off? Or at least rethink her positions?

He's written so many of his major arcs into corners and knows he's not going to be able to resolve them unless he writes three new stories.
A lot of the show's issues in Season 7 (but not past seasons) can be laid at the feet of GRRM for this exact reason. |

I still believe he has both Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring completed and is just waiting for the HBO series to be finished. He doesn't want readers to get mixed up with what is happening in the TV show. Doesn't make him any less vindictive , though.
