I really don't like the TV version of Yara/Asha Greyjoy. I always imagined her as someone with a lot more spunk and charisma.

To address some points from a page ago--I've said before that they're going to have a very tough, if not impossible, time finishing this series. First it's possible it well be ten years or more before Martin finishes the series. Also he's obese and like Jordan's Wheel of Time, he may die before he finishes it. Second how long do you think you can keep a cast together? Remember:


And children are growing up, adults may have accidents, other projects or just aren't available to film two or three episodes of a 10 episode series.

I think this series is on fire and I'm loving every minute--including Dany! But I'm will to take a bet that without creating an artificial ending around season 4 or so, they will never finish this.

Man, you guys are tough. If you have lots of pictures taken of you don't be surprised if some not so flattering images show up.

Also not everybody has to be Scarlett Johannson material. Natalie is a very good actress--see The Tudors--with a natural, sexy body. In fact the non-pneumatic breasts, in most of the actresses who are showing their bodies, is quite refreshing.

You guys can just turn her over and pretend she's Loras.

I agree she has a nice body and I have liked her acting(never seen her before this). But I don't like her face. That's what paper sacks are for.

As for the books never being finished I'm pretty ambivalent. When Sanderson took over The Wheel of Time after Jordan's demise the pace and writing actually picked up and the series became readable once again.

There's a difference. Martin is a great writer, and someone else writing the end to a story as complex as ASOIAF would be pretty tough. It's possible, given his admiration for Robin Hobb, that she would be asked to do the job (sheer speculation here as Martin has said she's doing some of the best stuff in modern fantasy and I'm a big Hobb fan). She's my favorite writer, and great with character-driven stories, but picking up ASOAIF and finishing it successfully would be a tough task even for her.

Jordan, on the other hand, is a mediocre writer IMO whose stories kind of spin around and go nowhere ;)

I'm sure the pace will pick up after A Dance for Dragons. He had a lot of problems putting plotlines together and catching timelines back up to each other after the Feast/Dance split...but it sounds like he's going to have a lot less trouble with the next couple of books.

Interesting. I love Jordan and hate hate Hobb.

The first 6 books of WOT were some of the best fantasy ever written. the story did get a bit unruly after that for a while, but if you think the exact same thing is not happening with Martin now you are fooling yourself.

But if GRRM were to die, I am almost positive that they would have Daniel Abraham finish it.

I think most of the Dany haters, such as myself, are book readers. I've always found her chapters hard to slog through. Nice to see that the writers have done a good job of making her storyline interesting on the show for non-book readers.

People, get over it. seriously. I haven't even read the books, but this is getting out of hand. Now people are complaining about someone saying a character in the book isn't exciting? It's an OPINION.
