For the next paper, I'm going to spoil the fuck out of the books for him. I'm going to find a way to fit in as many as I can and keep it germane to the 2nd paper's topic. I'm stuck getting a B in the class unless I get a really high A or a really low grade (which ill fight him over if i do) Why do you care about grades in college? Are you planning on going to grad school? | ||

I figure that I can do shit like this cuz I already have some ideas of what Im going to do after school. I can just fuck with people for now. It's more of an ego thing. My ego is so big that I deserve to get a higher grade. I remind myself of people on here who blame losses on other people or the balance. RIP Idra | ||

Instead you're going to be an asshole yourself by intentionally spoiling things for people? | ||

Or maybe he didn't fall for your blatant pandering and took the paper at face value, saw it was lacking in depth and gave you the grade you deserved. Now I secretly hope he fails you just for acting like an entitled douchebag. | ||

That tshi person is obviously a moron. Anyway. This is an ASoIaF topic so... seriously, was no on else upset that they cut (no pun intended) "Edd, fetch me a block"? I was seriously looking forward to that line. | ||

Remember how Cersei threatened Littlefinger's life in season 1? She was ready to kill him if he stepped out of line. Littlefinger is also following in Ned's footsteps - traveling from Winterfell to King's Landing - and it cannot bode well for him. | ||

That guy from Brazil really went off on me for no reason. Anyway, not to derail the thread, I guess seeing that Balon is still alive makes me think that thery're going to fold in the greyjoy uncles into balon so that they dont have to cast new people since they seem to have gave 0 shits about the iron born. | ||

The fact that they leave out Quentyn, Victarion, Aegon, Marwyn, etc. makes me kinda sad. Having all the diverse storylines cumulate in Meereen was the highlight of ADWD for me. I mean streamlining the story for the show is OK to some degree, it just seems that it thereby loses a lot of complexity. | ||

jorah abducts tyrion and then they are caught by slavers while sailing with moqorro. i believe they will still be enslaved on the show because its a crucial piece of development for both that shouldn't take up too much screen time. moqorro is doubtful imo. looks like everything about the unrest and potential slave uprising in volantis is out, which is unfortunate but understandable. | ||

ASoIaF's incredible complexity is actually one of the biggest points of criticism of the series. | ||

Its complexity comes in its length and sheer number of characters, i personally love how long the books are | ||

I wouldn't say that it is the complexity the criticism is directed to. I mean the first book was fairly complex in a good way. What people are complaining about is artifical complexity that comes about by just introducing additional characters that do not add up to a coherent story. It's the coherency of the first books that is less pronounced in the latter ones. The TV show seems to be dealing with this by going in the opposite direction. To ensure coherency, they make the story less complex. This is not a desired result in my opinion. | ||

It slows down the main storyline though, which in my book isn't all that bad. The TV series is probably less coherent, even though they miss a lot of the details and complexity | ||
