Well there are three or four proposals, not three or four series' that have been optioned. We're still talking about possible options here. It's conspicuous that he would rule out robert's rebellion and dunk and egg, two eras that have a lot of written history, but fail to rule out DoD, which has a fairly massive amount of written history.

so regarding Robert's Rebellion, he said that by the end of "A Song of Ice and Fire" there will be no point in making a story or show about Robert's Rebellion, meaning they are probably going to cover the events of (as well as the events leading up to and after) the tourny at Harrenhal, as well as any other main things associated with the rebellion.

as for Dunk & Egg, George said that he doesnt want to be in the same situation where the show passes the book and gets to finish his story before he does, and he plans on writing at least 9 more Dunk & Egg short stories.

so that leaves us with book things things like "The Long Night", "The Age of Heros", "Aegon's Conquest", "The Doom of Valyria", "The Dance of the Dragons", and pretty much any other event we know of. Hell it could just simply follow the Targ dynasty from Aegon the Conqueror to Aerys the Mad King.

but it also opens up room for anything within the world that hasn't been covered by the books yet.

yea, thats one thing i noticed after season 4, all the writing took a pretty serious hit. also, everything from that point is presented pretty straight forward, theres really nothing that you have to stop and think about because they will just reveal next week. one of the better parts about GoT is that sometimes things happen right in front of your face and you're still not 100% sure who is behind it. Baelish and Varys haven't been clever for nearly 3 years.

After reading this post I just realized I already have the rose-colored glasses on.

I totally forgot about last season and the season prior. It all came rushing back. BOOM!! Arya storyline!! BOOM!! Sand Snakes + Dorn treatment!!! BOOM!! Littlefinger is a bungling bitch! BOOM!! Not making use of Varys while focusing on Iron Islands character development, that.....surprise nobody cares about and has yet to form any attachment to going into the next season! BOOM!!

I'm getting old and selective memory is kicking in.

Sorry guys, we don't have time for Victarion or the Dornish master plan, but don't worry, instead you are getting a Greyworm/Missandei romance! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I haven't read the books and my bullshit-o-meter broke the glass with this romance.

Was as bad as the Josie Packard Sawmill plot line from Twin Peaks Season 2.

However, I like the Arya storyline because I personally relate to it as a halfling (she is small like a halfling) intent on revenge of a powerful figure who has killed someone she loved.

That's right Llandris.

I'm coming for you. (in-game duel)

Hope this message finds you all well and happy at p99 offices

The great thing about selective memory is it goes both ways.

I have almost no recollection of Greyworm or Missandei scenes aside from the expressions on their face. Feels good to know my jammer is working at full capacity.

Arya isn't terrible its just the pissing away of episodes on her scenes that barely get explored. Screentime for shallow scenes is where you get this negative association with the Arya storyline, especially as it drew towards the climax. You could feel it chewing into everything else they could have done with the other storylines.

Arya threads during the airing of the show read two ways A) Where you think this is going B) Where it actually went

from the way they used that theater group of carnies, to the departure from the faceless ones people were looking for a little more depth

the G&M romance was a stab at the upcoming season based on the trailors i've seen, and leaked stuff i've read. as for the carnies, i don't know the full story, but that's actually from Book 6 (mercy chapter), the show just crammed it into last season to help progress Arya's story.

I did up until last season. Arya suddenly stopped being left handed last season, she was frolicking around Bravos while the most skilled group of face swapping assassins are hunting her down. Then she gets gut stabbed (twice), and she jumps into a river of piss and shit and sewage. After miraculously not bleeding out, or catching sepsis, or catching some random infection, she's taken in by the actress. Then a T-1000 from Terminator 2 shows up, Arya ignores her gut stabs and goes running, jumping, falling, rolling, twisting, and turning through the city, only to engage in a fight against a person that has indisputably proven to be better than Arya, only to then be killed by Arya. THEN Arya uses what I imagine is the same teleport machine that Varys and Baelish have access to, in order to arrive at the riverlands. She arrives at the twins during a celebration of Freys and Lannisters, catches Walder Frey's sons coming back from Riverrun, and in a matter of a day (2 at most) murders them both, then legit butchers them for meat, grinds it up, and fills a pie with it (we're going to give her the benefit of the doubt and say someone else had already baked the pie crust, and pretend that magically there was a window of time for her to be in the kitchen alone long enough to bring in the dead frey people (or meat) and finish cooking the pies with it.

glad to see somebody put my thoughts to words. it really suspend my suspension of disbelief when she run around with a GUT wound and get in dirty water and sprint through the city. surviving a gut wound alone in that period is almost unbelievable let alone everything else. it make me think wtheck? moar than omgosh!
