and he said that he has no control over what occurs on the show, and that the only thing he can control is what happens in his books.

Apparently He Doesn't!!!!

I thought he was a Producer!?

I appreciate the subtle reminder that Ramsay is a bad dude. It’s so easy to forget. Fortunately, the screenwriters have a way of showing us that he’s not someone we should like.

I know right!?

By The Way, I was 110% right on with Stannis and Brianne and Shireen.

The Screenwriters thought "Hmmm... If we are going to have Stannis and Brianne go at it, the Audience has come to like Stannis and if we want Brianne to come out top we gotta have him do something Bad so we don't like him any more....I Know! Lets KILL SHIREEN! That way it gets the Baratheons out of the way and give The Audience a reason to root for Brianne instead "Da Renlys" all the back in Season Two! What Could Possibly Go Wrong!?"

I’ve kinda lost interest this season. I could barely make it through last episode, and didn’t even try tonights. I’m wondering if GoT is losing it.

Last Episode killed it for me.

Stannis would never Sacafice Sharieen (but George Said she would burn!)

By Who, What, When, Where and Why.

I can Explain everything that Happened tonight with Stannis in this Clip:

Thought Stannis demise would be a little more dramatic.

Can’t stand Brienne of Tarth, the big gawky horse of a woman.

Can’t wait to see Cersei have her revenge next season.

Here is what he said-

http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/10/game-thrones-martin-books

“… Meanwhile, other wars are breaking out on other fronts, centered around the last few episodes of Game of Thrones. It is not my intention to get involved in those, nor to allow them to take over my blog and website, so please stop emailing me about them, or posting off-topic comments here on my Not A Blog….Yes, I know that The Hollywood Reporter named me ‘the third most powerful writer in Hollywood’ last December. You would be surprised at how little that means. I cannot control what anyone else says or does, or make them stop saying or doing it, be it on the fannish or professional fronts. What I can control is what happens in my books, so I am going to return to that chapter I’ve been writing on The Winds of Winter now, thank you very much.”

It seems like he is downplaying how much influence he has on the show in that statement, but maybe I am misreading it.

I think your summary of Stannis’ killing of his daughter as it relates to the scene with Brienne is a very likely scenario.

So now that Stannis is gone, his army is gone, and his entire family is gone, that seems to get rid of most of the story conflicts in the north - except for the White Walkers, which no one outside of the Night’s Watch seems to think are a problem.

I guess Sansa and Theon are still a storyline. Where will they go? Will they try to go to the Night’s Watch because Jon was the Lord Commander there?

Thank You, I think you are reading it correctly Chris.

Some places call that "Backtracking"

In Kansas we call it "Covering Your Own Ass!"

The Death of Shireen (and to a lesser extent the rape of Sansa, but that has not happened in the books in any way shape or form to her) and Now the Death of Stannis and Jon Snow will cause a MASSIVE Disinterest in the Show and I think Martin understands with that comes More Disinterest in his Books....

Because people don't want to see that Happen or feel like the Show has ruined it for them and won't read them.

Those things (Jon Snow I hear did actually happen though) WILL be a Pox and Bane for viewership and ratings for the coming seasons.

Well, Since All that Happened in the Episode today, I guess a Spoiler Warning doesn't count for much.

But Still

Below is a Graphic that compares The War in The North from the Books and The War in The North from the Show. Don't look if you don't want spoilers, but if you have seen Season 5, there is nothing to spoil.

So Much Lost Awesome and Politicking it's Heartbreaking.

Well I’m officially done

They push homo shit down your throat and we take it just hoping good guys win or are avenged

They push racial political correctness much the same as the homo garbage that isn’t in the book

They burned a child alive last week again not in the book

They more or less vilify the Catholic Church with the Sevens sadists

Two libtard Hollywood Jewish meterosexuals ..,.i mean have u seen them interviewed ...have taken this saga which is admittedly a different saga and made it a never ending amoral kill the hero saga which exemplifies the age we sadly endure

Eff them and the horse they rode in on

I’m done

They killed one of the few decent characters

It’s worse than killing Daryll

I feel sorry for young people

They never knew inspiring film

Weiss and Benioff

I fart in your general directions

But no worries.....The idiots will still turn in

This is what I just deserve for watching such trash

I definitely have GoTFatigue.

I can’t invest emotionally in any character.

They always die before their time.

If America was like GoT we’d all be dead by now.

“Because people don’t want to see that Happen or feel like the Show has ruined it for them and won’t read them.”

GRRM brought that on himself. He took a shiiteload of money from HBO, then didn’t deliver the books.

He’s failed both his show obligations and his fans.

It’s nihilism

It’s like watching John Wayne die over and over

No good guys stay good guys or win

I shoulda known it was bad enough from the slurping episode
