That was the best episode of anything I have ever seen in my entire life!

Brilliant!

I gave up on the books after 'A Dance of Dragons' and I've never been able to get into the TV show. But glad to hear the show writers are at least providing some resolution to story lines - something George RR Martin seems incapable of doing at this point. Maybe he can borrow ideas from the show to finally wind up his books.

A Dance With Dragons is the last available book currently.

At this point in the TV show, the story lines have moved far away from story lines in the books.

I have given up on the books after reading all 5 of them twice.

I don’t think martin will ever finish them. I think he lost his connection to the characters and story.
