George R. R. Martin's writing peaked with TV's Beauty and the Beast.

Besides, they'll just take a hiatus for a year and replace the show with a season of "Game of Bones" which will be an extended version of every orgy scene on the show. Viewers won't even notice.

Both were meant as humor. I stopped reading this series during the long hiatus. Maybe after the show is done I'll go back and finish it off, but am actually looking forward to watching more without previous knowledge.

He shouldn't be having fun. He should be writing.
And I really enjoy when they deviate from the books. If fun reading all the angst from the purists. IT"S ENTERTAINMENT, not life or death reality.

The irony between the first sentence and the rest of the post is quite humorous.

...but it would take GRRM taking that stick out of his ass.

A couple of my writer friends spent some time with him at a convention in October. They say he's a pretty fun guy.

I bet Tommen had a meeting with the hand of the king after that encounter with Margary Tyrell.

I'm guessing it was this guy:

That doesn't even make sense. Try harder.

So has anyone pieced together what someone with the name Stark might have done to GRR at some point in the past?

There is absolutely no ****ing way that the show doesn't overtake the books.

Well, there is that 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance of it happening but it would take GRRM taking that stick out of his ass.

In the books Margaery is 16 (only 15 when she was first married) and Tommen is only 7. In the TV series they've made them much closer together in age.

Next season they're replacing the actor who has played Tommen with one a couple years older. Presumably they can then offer some nice steamy scenes between Tommen and Margarey without technically breaking the law.

YES GOD YES

That's what she said.

So glad it wasn't just me.
