The actor that plays barriston needs to be tarred and feathered for floating that out there. Its been a nice run George, but now, my watch has ended. Im glad he said it and George had to respond. I needed to hear him say he hasnt started on ADOS, and wont until WOW is done. So I dont have to hope anymore of seeing the saga complete. Cause it wont be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayRaider Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I don’t think Winds of Winter is anywhere near finished. Not even half way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know much about him but from what I hear I’d at least let him write the battle scenes and have someone else do the creative writing.

If he dies before it finishes. He wants all his notes and unfinished works burned. Thats why its so gut wrenching he hasnt even started ADOS yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because he doesn't really outline, he just writes as he goes, which is why it's taking him so long to write, and why the series has become bloated. His process is what's screwing the series being finished. It's also the problem with letting someone else finish it. Jordan had outlines and notes that could be used, whereas Martin's notes are likely to be thrown away or burned by him as much as used even if he finished his own series. It's also why the showrunners had the broad strokes of his ending, but are deviating so clearly from where the books seem to be going. Those broad strokes are really broad, and Martin hasn't figured out how the characters will get there himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywindO2 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Man I can't stop thinking about how the show butchered Euron so hard. He has such a small role in the books so far and yet we know so much about him. I always liked the Euron = Daario theory, even if the likely hood of it being true was basically 0%. There actually was enough compelling evidence to support it yet none of that fascinating character building from the books made an appearance in the show. Instead we just got a horny Jack Sparrow who's a sniper with an oversized crossbow. Even referring to his ship in the show as The Silence feels like such a disservice to him. Reading the ASOIAF subreddit, I agree with the idea that the show does actually give an idea for what's in-store for the (F)Aegon plot. There's too many unresolved story lines from the books that we'll never get resolved and it just sucks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My theory on Euron is he's about to become the closest analogue the books have to the Night King. He's almost certainly a warg, and maybe even a greenseer, and he's gearing up for some big magical ritual of some kind, though I've yet to see a convincing theory on what that is. I don't buy that he's summoning krakens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
