^^^ i think author had something to say about them highjacking his story.

Is the dragon going to breather razor sharp icicles? Because that would be awesome

His breath turns all it touches into undead.

 

[HoppyDaze]

well that's dumb

 

[NickTheGreat]

His breath turns all it touches into undead.

Joke?

 

[Homercidal]

Joke?

Are you asking for a joke? Or are you offering one?

Seriously, though, I have no idea. I just thought it would be cool to imagine what might happen if one of the dragons could do that. It would change the dynamics of the situation immensely.

 

[MeatyPortion]

Maybe the dragon breathes noxious vapors, like patchouli oil or something.

 

[HoppyDaze]

who would want to live in a world of patchouli oil? I'd off myself

I think George RR Martin doesn't give a damn, you know who wins the Game of Thrones? George RR Martin.

He's made Scrooge McDuck levels of money off of this(you know, if he put it in a pool he could swim in it).

GRRM has said in interviews that he's fine with the divergence, he knew it was gonna happen. He also knew, as did HBO that production costs would be the biggest limiting factor in creating the show(I.e. Finishing the show). The cast members pay has skyrocketed and it's expensive as get out to do the animations like the dragons and such(also can you imagine the makeup costs for all those extras that play the undead).

GRRM *knows* without a shadow of a doubt that the people who read the books before the show was announced will buy all the rest of the Song of Ice and Fire books(probably multiple copies). You know what else he *knows*? If the ending of the tv show flops badly, he's gonna have hundreds of thousands(if not several million) people buying the books to get an ending that wasn't rushed to. I think regardless of the show ending he knows his next two books are gonna break records for sales.

Not that this excuses the ham handedness of this season. Past seasons they'd have may one or two ham hand scenes where it's like "come on guys". Now it's every episode. I think they're largely following the "grand scheme" of things so to speak, but, they know they need to get it done now 7 more episodes. GRRM has the luxury of saying he's gonna do the whole series in 7, but no one believes that for a second(even GRRM). It's gonna be 8 or at least 9 books.

I think the undead dragon will breath more shortcuts for the writers, for at least 3 episodes.

 

[krenshaw]

characters aren't getting any younger.. they already said that 1 more season will be there, of course the timeline has to be sped up.. who cares where the chains came from.. all that matters is cersi dies and dany gets 8 inches of snow in the end

 

[Murphys_Law]

That world is called Boulder, CO!

 

[HoppyDaze]

Eugene, OR

 

[rcreamer0713]

Im interested ti see how HBO makes up for the loss in subscriber amd views after this ends. Walking dead is still rolling along. But HBO doesnt have a show to replace game of thrones.

 

[krenshaw]

nothing can take its place.. this is bigger than just about any show can be in a generation.. they already have westworld, which w/o game of thrones would be juggernaut in its own right, just quite overshadowed by the winter!

 

[HoppyDaze]

HBO will be just fine...

 

[HoppyDaze]

These are my exact thoughts...not directed at any of you btw:

Shut up about the technicalities

 

[Special Hops]

They already have a few spinoffs in the works set in the GoT world. I heard they were working on 4-5 concepts. And then may develop 1 or 2 into actual series.

I think everyone would enjoy a prequel showing a young ned stark and robert, showing how the rebellion came about

I was asking if you were joking. Or hoping.

 

[MeatyPortion]

Hippies, gutter punks, sentient granola clusters. Yeah, I'm with you.

 

[Weezy]

But when the technicalities take over the stories, you might as well read the spoilers and commiserate with the guys at the pub.

 

[HoppyDaze]

Nah. Enjoy the show ... temper expectations. It's owes us nothing

 

[Homercidal]

I mean... It's a show about dragons and magic and stuff like that.

 

[Homercidal]

But would it have been too much to ask for them to come up with a way for those guys to have to hide for a few days to give time for the help to arrive? Is that too hard?

 

[krenshaw]

I mean... It's a show about dragons and magic and stuff like that.

yeah i listen to a couple podcasts talking about everything, and there are way too many people who just need to CTFD about it. Its a fantasy/sci-fi genre.. nothing is going to be how it would be, and they are working on a shortened timetable than was originally planned.. nobody is going to stop watching now if they are vested

 

[MeatyPortion]

While the last one stretched the believability of the show (hey, even in fantasy shows there are general principles established to understand how the world works) I saw it as more of a nod to 80s action movies (Predator, Rambo, Uncommon Valor, etc.) so I enjoyed it.
