So all my friends who were disappointed when they found out this weeks episode is delayed because of Memorial Day are basically being fed by me that the next episode will be one of the best, and everyone will love it; as I've read the book and can figure out what should happen in Episode 9.

Half the people think its Joff getting told off by Tywin/getting killed at his wedding or Dany leads another Sack of Yunkai in an absurdly epic episode. Oh wow beautiful this is going to be

The preview for Episode 9 seemed like it was just going to be the Sack of Yunkai. Is RW confirmed for the next episode? I was hoping it would be the season finale.


so far the "shocking" episodes also were episode 9.

What is this "theory" about Sandor = Gravedigger?

Maybe its one of those "Oh shit, why havent i noticed that earlier?!" - moments but i have no idea what you are talking about.

Someone please enlighten me!

Here is the Gravedigger theory. I think it is very possible, but then again I am very biased as I liked the Hound a lot, and was quite upset when he died.

"Jared of House Frey, I name you liar"


What? Davos was the most boring PoV in ACoK, IMO. I had no idea people actually liked his POV and I've heard many reviewers say Cunningham brings a really boring character to life.


eh? really? Davos is one of my favorite characters in Song yet I think Cunningham (or rather, the writing) really screwed him over as a character. He's not nearly as compelling or sympatathic as in the books.

I guess such an opinion is really only possible if one is a huge fan of the character or something. To me it seems just strange.

Well Davos was a pretty "human" character in the books compared to many others but I found his chapters some of the more boring ones, had no idea he was a fan favourite either, thought those awards went to the young, beautiful and powerful. I haven't watched TV version.

I think the appeal of Davos from the books comes from the fact that he's probably the most sincere family man in the books. Most other major characters worry about the survival of their dynasty (yes, even Catelyn, who at some point during AGoT thinks of giving Ned more sons to secure his lineage) and might go as far as messing with individual family members as long as the dynasty is ok (see Tywin, Doran, Renly). Davos, on the other hand, is always worrying about his children's welfare without neglecting his duty or going full out psycho like Catelyn.

It is one of the few things I saw the first time I read the book, so it has to be true

Sandor is a deserter of the kingsguard and probably wanted by the Lannisters - which explains why he's the gravedigger. I think it fits his personality well and wouldn't be surprised if this is the last we hear from him. What really shook me was that the Three eye crow aka Bloodraven is a Targaryen!

A spanish interview by a chilean newspaper "El Mercurio"
http://elcomercio.pe/espectaculos/1581684/noticia-george-r-martin-tengo-ideas-como-50-novelas-mas

Three years working with HBO, ehat were the big challenge to adapt your books to tv?
the books are hard to film. They are long, with a lot of characters, castles, direwolfs, dragons and paralel storys. We had to eliminate some characters, i hate that, but it had to be that way. Considering our resources we had done it well.

I understand that, other than you, only HBO knows the real end of asoiaf
Dave and Dan knows the way im taking . They know the general idea but all is in my head.

How many seasons will you need for A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons?
We dont know yet, the decision hasnt been taken. I hope it can be two seasons in that we can combine both books considering that these books happen in paralel but first we need to end the 4th season and wait for HBO to renew the series.

How is it going the sixth book, The Winds of Winter?
im not going to make any prediction. Im working on it, im making progress but is a big book.Definitely is not going to be ready this year. MAYBE i will publish it next year.

Why is Tyrion Lanister your favorite character?
Its really entertaining write about him, he is a very deep character and full of contradictions but also have to fight his own demons. Its easier to work than with a character that is always good or bad.

How has your live change with the success of the books and the series?
Mu live hahce changed in a positive and negative way. I never anticipated this level of fame. I cant go to the movies anymore, people ask me to take photos with them . There is a lot of good people in the fans, but they are so much that is difficult to pose for a photo when the only thing you want is eat your dinner.

You started to write these books in 1991, how do you imagine yor life at the end of the saga?
i will probably have 70. Maybe i will be thinking in retiring but i cant see me retired if my mind continues working and i can sit in front of a keyboard because i love telling storys. My head is full of characters and storys. I have ideas for like 50 more books of science fiction, fantasy, mistery. I also want to write tales (im not sure here, the interivew say "cuento" that is like children storys but is also translated as storys, but i think "tales" is better) and i would like to create new tv series. there are millions of thing i want to do but first i have to finisish asoif. When its done i will see what i start.

P.S sorry for the bad english -_-
i would define my style between a mix of ByuN, Maru and MKP

That one went from hypothesis to nearly a law in just a Bran chapter or two. Bran chapters are the hardest to take anything away from because he is so young and seeing a lot of the weirdest things. GRRM calls him the hardest character to write by far.

The Bloodraven theory also depends a lot on having read the hedge knight series. I think the only in-ASoIaF evidence is the mention of the song about him possessing "a thousand eyes and one" and then he says that of himself to Bran in book 5. Then there is maybe the mention that he came to the Wall with Aemon and became lord commander. The latter only establish that he had come to the far north. Originally the idea was more or less just gut feeling for the people who were aware of him from the sworn sword.

Mormont's raven is a lot of fun with that theory so strong.

hell no, Sandor has to be the one to take out Gregor. He has to be. It's one of the best siblings rivalries I've ever seen in a media.

Heavenly Monk Sandor vs Zombie Gregor needs to happen.

it won't be as cheesy as I wrote it, but there's no way GRRM built up the Gregor/Sandor rivalry just for them to each die in seperate places, without resolution.

If that was to happen, who do you guys think Sandor would champion for?

Brienne? Jaime? Nymeria Sand? Arya? Himself? No one, just a random 1x1 bo1 without a crowd to watch?

The Faith. They are the ones charging Cersei with her treasons after all. There is little doubt he is their best swordsman.
