BillsFan-4-Ever Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) they are soon to be at the end of one maybe two story lines at the pace they are going while so much more needs to be shown with others.

Deranged Rhino Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 they are soon to be at the end of one maybe two story lines at the pace they are going while so much more needs to be shown with others. I believe the creators worked it out with Martin, they know where he's going and have been given insight into the final two books. I think it's kind of neat how the series is shaking out, it's an interesting blend of the intense time pressures of TV production schedules mixed with the leisurely writing pace that most novelists enjoy. Makes me wonder if this will slow Martin's pace on the books or if the pressure will make him write faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a famous guy who does the audiobooks for GoT by the name of Roy Dotrice -- the guy just turned 90 and recently was treated for cancer. Amazing voice work -- had to create (and consistently use) more than 300 different voices for the fifth book, apparently. Probably aren't many other people out there who could do the voice work for these books with such skill, so there are a lot of people out there hoping GRRM can finish these books soon so Roy can voice them all. Supposedly GRRM contacted Roy on his 90th birthday and told him to get ready for the next book, probably before the end of this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely check out the audio books now to hear Roy. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard, as well (maybe somebody can confirm?) that Martin has given his blessings to Benioff & Weiss to finish the story, if he doesn't live long enough to finish the books. Apparently Martin has some serious health issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 The hound is by far my favorite character. Just the right amount of Brawn and Brains. I've never read the books so don't take this as a spoiler. Just one guys useless speculation But watching The Hound and Aria, I think The Hound goes out Christopher Multisanti(sic) style. Something is going to happen. They're going to get jumped and he gets stabbed or hit by an arrow. Or he falls off his horse. He will befall some unfortunate event not caused by Aria. But when given the opportunity to save The Hound, Aria will either deliver the coup de gras or simply walk away and leave The Hound to die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 For those who watched last night -- what did Tyrion do to Varis in the past to result in that testimony? I don't think there's a reason other than Varys being a scheming little weasel who wants to be as close to the Iron Throne as possible. Remember, it's "Game of Thrones," not "Game of Third Period Study Hall." Not everyone's motivated by interpersonal relationships, and those that are (e.g. Tyrion, Catelyn and Robb Stark, Ygritte) tend to lose for it in the end.

Deranged Rhino Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Could be reading too much into it, but Varys didn't deny the question the God of t*ts and wine asked him, if anything, he confirmed it. Just in the most dickish way possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 For those who watched last night -- what did Tyrion do to Varis in the past to result in that testimony? my theory: previously varys acted like he did things for "the good of the realm," but in the scene with oberyn he as much as said his goal is the throne. Once tywin is gone, tyrion would be the only real lannister threat to his goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Read something earlier today (sorry no link) that I thought was pretty funny...the scene a couple of weeks ago, where Dany and company come upon Mareern, the guy shouting the insults toward her and her army: this was dialogue lifted, in tribute, from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Haven't seen Holy Grail in about 20 years, but I thought that was pretty cool. Apparently, there have been a number of "easter eggs" like this in the foreign tongues spoken on the show, over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall seeing a story online a while back about one of the female cast members being opposed to showing further nudity. I don't think the specific cast member was named, but if I recall correctly the general thought was that it was Daenerys.

So, what, she wouldn't do more nude scenes, so they killed her off? For you book readers, was she killled in the book? I thought I had read that she survived the red wedding in the novel...

You do mean THE same Oona that is/was the Wolf Kings pregnant wife at the bloody wedding ....
