I agree but isn't that more from our world. Why would they have those colors? It had no significance. I saw Renly first in the show so i looked for it when I read the books and it was difficult to find. Very very subtle.

[@voteZDLR]

@@Got-Raider-Camus I read the books after watching the show. I just assumed his character was gay in the books, like 100% no arguments about it gay. Sex scenes that were gay. Not only are there no gay sex scenes in the books -- there's not even that many sex scenes at all. And if they are there it's to serve some narrative purpose like the only one I can even think of is from Book 1, Dany and Khal Drogo's sex scenes. I guess I mainly remember them because in the books she was like 12-14 years old and he was a 30-40 year old warlord. The HBO production is the reason so many people have this idea that Thrones books and show are so hyper-sexual and violent. That was mainly just the show's doing.

[@ericl8261]

@@voteZDLR Just off the top of my head: Tyrion has several sex scenes with Shae, Jon has sex with Ygritte, Dany has sex with Drogo, Hizdahr and sexual encounters with her handmaids, Sam has sex with Gilly, Arianne has sex with Aerys Oakheart, Theon has sex with the daughter of the captain of the ship he takes to the iron islands, Cersei has sex with Taena of Myr, Jaime has sex with Cersei, Asha has sex with Qarl the maid, VIctarion has sex with the dusky woman. And this is just POV characters having sex, to say nothing of sex acts witnessed by the characters. To say there aren't many sex scenes is just not true lol.

[@Zeupater]

Because the Priesthood of the Seven is so gay!

[@voteZDLR]

@@ericl8261 Not as many as there are in the show. In the show they'd have you believe that's all that's going on in the fucking books. I am not going to sit here and argue with you about it, though. My point in saying any of that at all is that the show would have you believe that's all it's about is sex, dragons and violence and it's only just noteworthy in that it has a handful of sex scenes at all. You act like that's a lot of sex scenes just anyway, you realize we're talking 5000 pages of manuscript and you pointed out what, 15 instances of sex across the five books? Not nearly as prolific as the show would make it seem. That's all I am trying to say. Go ahead and nitpick some more though I know you will.

[@Wayfarer17683]

I want to see GRRM finish the books and then just write short stories from the world. I think if he does short stories he stays engaged and doesn't get bored or pressured to finish. Then we have these little pieces just building the world larger and larger.

[@TheArsenalgunner28]

I want to see him finish it too but I can’t see it happening soon. He recently said he was falling behind. I’m not sure what that means, he’s already behind but I think his drive to write it just evaporates as soon as it comes. He’s now sign a deal to create new shows for HBO so I doubt we’ll get to see him finish it. I can’t see how he’ll have time.

I’m 100% certain Skagos will be in TWOW, as part of Davos’ story arc. If Highgarden happens, it will probably be in Samwell’s chapters, although I think we’ are more likely to see Horn Hill instead, There is also a possibility Gulltown or Runestone might appear in Sansa/Alayne’s chapters.

[@freezingmoon]

Maybe we'll have Highgarden on the prologue, who knows. I mean, that's my visceral guess.

[@smartiejl]

@@freezingmoon TWOW's prologue will must likely be in the Riverlands, since GRRM confirmed that Jeyne Westerling is in it. He also said there is no plan to add any other POV characters. Highgarden, if appearing at all, would be in the middle of the book. The only POV character known to be anywhere near there is Samwell, who is currently in Oldtown and plans to take Gilly to Horn Hill for his mother to take care of. Other POV characters are either too far away, or going somewhere else.

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

@@doxasophosmoros Well, maybe Jaime goes there at some point or Daenerys tries to take it like she did in the show. It wouldn't be that hard to write it into the story. And considering the next two books are massive, I'm sure George will find a way to do so. Also we've seen almost every single important castle in Westeros, it would be really weird if we didn't see the Rock. And yeah George said the basic ending is the same as in the show but also there are so many cool characters and storylines that didn't make it into the GoT that we still have to see.

[@dandeleon2764]

Casterly Rock sounds like it'd be so awful to live at. I'm not even claustrophobic, but you're literally living in a mine, with the ocean creating echos all night.

[@specialtwice4975]

The chance of him finishing is likely high. Each book would take no more than 1,000 pages maximum, 500 minimum. (Based on his previous books) For 2 books that would be 600,000 words for 1,000 pages/book. And if you write a measly 300 words a day then it equals roughly 109,000 words a year. 109,000 x 6 years= 600,000 words ^which is more than enough for the 2 books to be What I'm trying to say is, even if he takes 7 years at a super super super slow snail pace then it should be finished by then.

[@KabbalahSherry]

I know this is a 3yr old comment, lol, but...

That’s not even discussing the input he had on the show which took even more time from an already time poor schedule because of the success. It’s going to be the biggest book of the entire series. It’s probably a mix of being time poor. The fact that that’s always how he has written. Wanting to get it right to the point where maybe he’s obsessive and also. Why would you deliver for fans that seem to do nothing but completely shit on you and put you under pressure. Nothing about that makes you think, wow I just can’t wait to Pour my blood sweat and tears into this product for people who do absolutely nothing but criticise me. For something I do voluntarily.

Wasn't HL3 officially dropped ? Valve makes much more money with Steam than with any game they would publish. Because of that, they decided to release very few games, to polish them as much as possible. As for HL3, because they could never hope to meet the fans' expectations, they decided to drop the game, from my understanding

[@traumer9622]

Voice over works amazingly in the series “you“

[@iulpo]

Would he talk so much about other stories if the main story, the story of his career is not finished ? The world of Ice and Fire will not end with the Song of Ice and Fire. That's good to hear. But after we'll have finished reading A song of Ice and Fire, we must understand why this is the most important (key) story of this world. In it's history, Planetos had many defining moments. George must have focused on this story for a reason. Can't wait to find out!

[@Luke-nn4pm]

Well, I think The Long Night(s) are the most pivotal moments in the story because they show whether or not humanity will be destroyed, which is kinda as big of stakes as you can have. And the series will definitely end with the second long night, and with a more permanent resolution than the first long night.

[@iulpo]

@@Luke-nn4pm Yes. But George wants to have his version of "the scouring of the shire". That will be after the fight against the others.

[@Luke-nn4pm]

@@iulpo oh that will definitely be Cersei at Casterly Rock

[@lordodysseus]

Before I watched Game of Thrones, I had suspicions that Renly was gay. Rainbow Guard, Knight of Flowers is his bff. He doesn't see advances from a woman who is so obviously in love with him. Then Loras tells Renly Stanis has the personality of a lobster.

Thanks for paraphrasing bullshit from the shit books that means fuck all and MATTERS NOTHING ....SINCE ALL THOSE FAMILIES DIE from bullshit Nonsensical DOG tactics ... It's so unfounded and so unexplained, it's piss poor writing with no tension. It's all FILLER. FILLER. FILLER. NO CONSEQUENCES. Like I said the show made the narrative. The music, COSTUMES, LIGHTING, MAKEUP, budget, direction etc but it still made NO SENSE. George's story after book three lost the plot and sucked since then,he turned into a soap opera , to be edgy I guess, but it was the biggest mistake of his fucking life ... 😂. He will never finish this story now and he never intended to! He has had a team of people who help him for 10 years, and even still, he can't finish it! 😂🤣 Pathetic!

[@thecatfather857]

Ehhh, the thing about the rainbow, may be a meta reference. But when you take this from the Wiki of Ice and Fire: The rainbow connects the organization to the Faith of the Seven, for which the rainbow is a religious symbol. That being a reference to that flag begins to sound less likely.

[@Michael-st4sc]

4:36 so like when bran discovers cersei and jaime going at it?

[@Tr3ysean]

That completely different. The readers seeing jaime and Cersei’s sex scene through brans POV advanced the plot forward and thickened it because now we’re wondering “is bran gonna survive his fall, what does this mean for the queen and her children, what does this mean for the starks and the lannisters” where as loras and Renlys relationship doesn’t reall do all that much for the plot so it would be kinda lame if someone just walked in on them and was like “oh these two guys are gay”. It wouldn’t have nearly the same impact as bran seeing Jaime and Cersei go at it

[@Mugzchunch]

@@Tr3ysean if george really cared though he could have put elaborate effort into making it known they're in a relationship, like how bran saw jaime and cersei, but it's just kind of in the background of the books and doesn't get mentioned at all and that's the only same-sex relationship in all the books. the amount of hetero sex in the books is ridiculous and george is making up that excuse to cover the fact he didn't want to touch same-sex relationships, so yeah.

[@Longshanks1690]

Yeah, but he also said this around the time of Season 2, judging by the screen. So maybe he's learnt his lesson since and will just finish the story he's already telling rather than needlessly complicating it more.

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

I don't know, man. I like that the story grows and becomes more complicated. I feel like a lot of the best parts of the book come from the new ideas that he tries out. Remember that he started the series because he didn't want any limits coming from the format or the lenght of the story. So by expanding it he's just living up to that idea.
