GoT S4 is out

[McGrupp]

I read somewhere that he's writing 6 and 7 as parallel entities, so half of each is complete. Main hiccup seems to be what direction to take Dany

Where'd you read that? I heard he already knows how the story ends, and he's already told the tv writers/producers how it'll end so they can wrap up the show even if the books don't make it out first. Dany is a pretty major character, so if he doesn't know what direction she's going, then all bets are off for the rest of the story.

I'll look for the story (It may be dated) and edit with a link when I find it

edit:
Couldn't find the link, but now that I've slept, I remember more clearly that as he has been writing Book 6, it lead into arcs for 7 (Something like 20% of Book 7 is already written), not that the story is parallel. Sorry for the confusion!

Best part about tonight is that they added a 6man group dungeon apparently and even a boss.

LOL!

Not a bad episode tonight, but easily the weakest of the season. I don't think they did a good job showing the enormous size of the wildling army. I know they only threw a fraction of the entire army at the wall, but it never looked like very many people. I was expecting a Braveheart like battle, but instead it looked like any other skirmish they've shown so far. Sad to see Ygritte die; she was one of my favourites. But I suppose that was inevitable.

*I haven't seen this episode yet but...*

Its been a few years since I read the book, but if I remember correctly the battle between the Thenns and the Night's Watch where Ygritte dies only involved a couple hundred people. A small bunch were sent to scale the wall in order to surprise Castle Black (sending in the special forces to do some infrastructure damage so the grunts can roll in and claim all the women...!); it sounds like the show is just staying true to the book.

One thing this show doesn't seem to lack is scale. If the Blackwater was any indicator, I have a hard time believing that you'll be disappointed when we see what Mance has up his sleeve.

Season finale or NBA finals game 5...Hmm (JK)

Well, internet died so posting on my phone.

Holy shit great season finale. The last 20 minutes were what I expected, but 2 things really caught me off guard.

The fight between Brienne and Sandor Clegane was awesome, nice call Loren.

Also wtf...i don't remember jojen dieing, pretty sure he didn't. I was really hoping Coldhands would show up and save them but that didn't happen.

was cool to see bloodraven though (the three eyed crow) for you non book readers

edit - Sandor Clegane (the hound) died much earlier and they never got near as far as the Eyrie in the books, so that whole spinoff was pretty cool. Brienne fought Biter and Rorge who were killed by Arya and the Hound in the show, so all that was pretty interesting of a switch up.
