Oh yeah, you could tell that when those two books meandered on for 1000+ pages and really accomplished nothing. It’s like he was sitting in front of his computer, banging out scenes, struggling to figure out where the plot was going and writing scenes in the mean time that did nothing to advance the plot...because he didn’t know where to go.
Kinda like the cab that circles the block because no one gives the driver a destination. He meandered and he seemed to have an editor that let him wander in circles.

Honestly at that point, I'm shelving the GoT books in the same drawer than Half-Life 3. I'm not expecting them to ever come out.Spoiler:I don’t want to be human.

maybe a new one's created every time the previous one's killed
like the slayers in Buffy
if there is a NK I hope he's not killed by something simple like a dagger (unless it's forged in a mount Doom style volcano maybe)
btw apparently many viewers complained about this part of the ep that he should've been unaffected by the dagger (cause he was unaffected by dragonfire) and the screenwriters answered
or rather, answered the reverse question (why was he unaffected by dragonfire)
and the answer's as dumb as it gets he said given ASOIAF there's no reason why it should or shouldn't affect him, but he thought it'd be "too dull" if it did kill him so he decided to spice things up '_'
in other words it's up to the viewers to come up with a coherent explanation lol

Some say NK might've warged into Bran.
And no, he's not better than that.Spoiler:I don’t want to be human. I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear X-rays, and I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am?

Originally posted by Chaka-Z0 View PostThat is the most plausible theory. I am convinced that when Martin left the boat it was mainly because of disagreements with the producers. Some people don't work well under pressure, which I'm sure he experienced from the public as well. He's just waiting for the show to run its course so he can pop out a whole different story and go ''hey see I'm better than those guys''.

GRRM seems like one of those writers that plots and plots and plots and plots....then does write, but gets bored with it and stops writing because he’s now interested in something else. I know for me if I do too much plotting and writing stuff down, my brain considers the plot/puzzle solved and moves on.
I feel that, ultimately, GOT will come to a good and decent conclusion, but they really needed a couple more episodes to really flesh it out, so it will feel rushed in a way, and GRRM will never finish those books because I don’t know if he can handle being compared to others rather than having others compared to him. (it now won’t be ‘how much the show changed from the books, it will be how much the books diverted from the show)

without Plot Induced Stupidity it would only take them 1 episode (send in Arya she may pull it off even without a mask)

There is also the whole believability thing. One person kills every bad guy? Too much plot device.
Arya is on a revenge quest, and for her now it’s not as much who she keeps killing, but if she decides to live or die. She may be the foil to make something happen, but I wonder if Cersei’s death will come at the hands of one of her brothers.
