Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: It's a lot of fun re-reading pages near the start...... The comments are worth rewatching the episode. After all the excitement some people needed time to process the overall implications of what they witnessed and what it meant to multiple MAJOR storylines. I wasn’t one of them.  Quoted: 8 years of build up for all to end like that feels like a total let down. |

Building something nice and beautiful in your backyard.
Admire it for a few weeks. Then burn it to the ground. I knew somebody that built one of these balsa wood airplane kit models. From assembling the pre-cut wooden frames to putting on the tissue paper. It looked So Good. He threw it and it flew for a few yards, landing hard. Then his dad put a lit match it it. It looked so much like a Real Plane crash. Everybody was going Oh, Wow, Man! It looked so Kewl! |

I guess it was better than nothing, but I don't think Maisie Williams was even in the top 87 most attractive actresses to appear on the show. A hilariously accurate observation I saw was that as the show progressed post-S4 there was less and less porn/nudity and more and more porn quality writing. |

Somewhat granted.
She wasn't exactly a beauty at the start. She was and IS Cute.

Quote HistoryIt's incredible how GoT went from being a show in which being compared to it was seen as a great compliment, but now any comparison or even reference to GoT seems to, whether intentional or not, taint the other show. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Nah. I thought it was a nice little easter egg having the same spear v. sword matchup as in GOT, but reversing the outcome. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: It's incredible how GoT went from being a show in which being compared to it was seen as a great compliment, but now any comparison or even reference to GoT seems to, whether intentional or not, taint the other show. I'm not really sure that was an intentional "easter egg," but my point was 4 years ago everyone who watched GoT would be cheering at the reference/comparison. Now, it seems most GoT viewers don't care or it even, at least somewhat, diminishes the scene because it negatively reminds them of GoT. Click To View Spoiler |

Quote HistoryYa know..... (Note: When reading the following, pronounce the W) Nearly every time I see some sword fighting, when the two opponents are locked blade to blade, forming a nice little 90 degree angle with their trusty swords, I sometimes won't why some smarter fighter just doesn't just bring down the blade and slice their opponents fingers off. That's why many Medieval swords had hand-guards. Where are the hand-guards in that video

Grogu doesn’t even talk and yet in 2 seasons is a much better developed character than Bran was in 5 seasons. |

It's still absofuckinglutely amazing how apropos it is. I haven't checked on this thread in a while, and I haven't hit the Freefolk on reddit much lately... but then something just pops in my head and I'm reminded of the failure. George needs to light a fire under his ass and get TWoW out already. |

Quote HistoryI'd much rather have quality! I do think that if both are met... if TWoW makes it out this year, and it's good and really does the story well, it'll help to bring people back into wanting to indulge in the upcoming HBO series. |

J. R. R. Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring came out in 1954, The Two Towers in1954, and The Return of the King in 1955.
Also what some people don't realize is each title was actually two books so that is six books total with a manuscript of 9,250 total pages. Granted he spent some time before that working on it, but when you compare that to GRRM's progress it is simply incredible. |

Quote HistoryOooof! I watched through the Critical Drinker's videos covering the last season. Yep. It still sucks. "People don't always remember how a story begins, but they remember how it ends, especially when it ends badly. That's all I've got for today. Go away now!" |

I'm slowly coming to the end of Book 5.
Looking back at Steven King and his Dark Tower series. Nearly every book could have been a Stand Alone in its own right. Granted he stumbled in the middle, but So Far the series is about the best Fantasy Series I ever read. It took him years and years to finish, but he did. Hasn't somebody already compared the two series? The King versus GRRM: Which took longer to complete? The Gunslinger or Musical Thrones

The Gunslinger or Musical Thrones Now that I think about, I can maybe remember 10% of what happened in books 4 and 5. TBH, it got to the point where reading it felt like a homework assignment where you don't enjoy reading it and just want it to be over. |
