Lol jesus well GRRM really goofed there.
D&D seemed prepared to dump "Hold the Door" on GRRM. But like Sirks I think some of us are just being too hard on it. I'm willing to cut GRRM some big slack on this one.

Despite having to bash the scene in my own home immediately after it aired due to extreme peer pressure, it was a very powerful scene and the most meaningful plotline advance we have seen, as well as the most red blooded action we have seen. The point is to evoke emotion, and this succeeded in doing so as many of us teared up.

Unless you think knocking a guy off a bridge or the cutting the Dornish Master Plan to ribbons (literally) already fit the bill.

However I can't help but feel now that the show is pressuring GRRM's writing, driving his process. This is the only thing I care about. I think this makes it official that the show is impacting the books.
