OFFICIAL Game of Thrones Thread

Saw this map recently. Not that it's new, but it's an attempt to give the Game of Thrones world a sense of scale. I really prefer it to the author's interpretation (where the continents are much, even absurdly larger). I've heard it said that Martin imagines Westeros as big as South America. I always assumed the characters just had no idea how far apart the things in their world really are and were exaggerating.

It's been years since I read the books, but I don't recall anything about the Three Musketeers of Ethos, Southeryos, and Ulthos or whatever. They sound like parody names.

Don't disagree with the general sentiment but adhering more to the real story isn't teally an option since fatboy can't get around to finishing the original story.

A fair point, but I assume what most people mean by "adhering to the story" is the moral ambiguity/trope subversion of GRRM's writing.

Instead we get cliche one-liners and grrrrl power moments.

Agreed.

I don't even care about the one liners at this point, they just need to wrap that **** up.

I was thinking - what if the Others (White Walkers) are Hive minded, like the other GRRM baddies

my guess is that Night King alone controls the wights, so kill him and you're good

Jesus Christ, I can't decide which part of this pisses me off the most.

Sand snakes

But the **** on that one were nice. Not worth the spectacularly ****** Dorne storyline, tho.

HBO is replaying GoT one season per day. They're doing season 4 today. It's been awhile since I've seen these episodes but to me season 4 is by far the best season.
