Does anyone else kinda hope that the next book starts with Daenerys burning Khal Pono (or whatever his name was) and slowly descending from being a Targaryen destined for greatness to a Targaryen destined for madness? If she went utterly mad with power it would probably provoke a bit more interest to a storyline that almost everyone seems to have gotten quite bored of. Then again I haven't slept for a whole day so my sleep addled mind might just have reduced me to bronze league asoiaf theorycrafting.

Well, I don't find her story all that boring, so no, I don't think that would be cool :-p The whole point of Daenarys is that she may actually be the ruler that the kingdoms need, both in terms of having someone competent and not-insane on the throne, and in defending everyone from the white walkers. We're seeing her (probably too long and too slow) development as she's hopefully growing into that ruler.

To be fair to Martin, I think that part of the problem may be that he first envisioned the series being a much shorter trilogy; as things began to grow more than he anticipated, they probably didn't all grow and develop at the same rate. He may have had Dany's plot pretty much figured out, but then wound up adding more and more to the other characters and threads, so by comparison Dany's is just dragging out and taking too long. Now that the dragons are big enough to kill stuff, that'll hopefully change, though. That and the fact that he's running out of time and will have to cram a lot in if he's going to move her all the way to Westeros and possibly the Wall.

That's the beauty of her going mad. No one would seriously expect it to happen so once again GRRM would throw our expectations out the window and likely make something awesome out of it. Either way I just sorta want to see a Targaryen get a bit of fire revenge on the disloyal lords of the Seven Kingdoms just when they think things are settling down.

A war between Aegon and Daenerys would be interesting as well, but I doubt something like that would happen, wouldn't make a whole lot of sense.

Sansa is infinitely more boring than Dany. Dany's chapters are actually quite good in Dance, but the whole "mother of X" thing did get old.

Tyrion also "wobbles" too much; and too many knights are "leal".

Now I'm just ranting.

I completely agree that aerys was a total bastard, I just want to watch the world burn a bit more.

Also yes Sansa is definitely more boring than Daenerys in ADWD, I'm just talking about Daenerys because theres more potential for her to suddenly throw some shit in the fan.

I'm much more interested in whether or not Jon stays alive or not. He's like the most friendly person in the world to wildlings and for good reason. We know nothing.

I think the ale drinking is somewhat based on history? In the old days, ale is essentially clean water?

The finale is going to piss off all the morons who expect the show to stay 100% true to the books (which is impossible).

It was awesome though.

Not as much as it's going to piss off all the morons who think it's okay to butcher one of the best chapters in the book who go all defensive when people say it wasn't nearly as good as it could have been.

I thought it was one of the best episodes of the show but I disliked how they executed Daenerys' scenes in the warlock tower and Xaro etc etc. Aside from the Daenerys scenes it was seriously perfect.

Really disappointed with the Warlock tower though, that was one of my favorite chapters in Book 2 and it really didn't live up to my expectations at all, probably the only big disappointing thing I can think of for the entire season.
