He's just mad because someone already guessed the ending, I expect him just to kill characters entirely out of spite now.

What's weird is that he'll create new characters named after the internet forum posters who got it right, just to kill them off.

I look forward to when Cersei gets to meet her new suitor, G0TF4N1923, I'm sure it'll just go swimmingly.

Ser 69lover69 met a particularly gruesome fate....

WTF? LMAO! HAK

He's basically sworn he wouldn't do that, because it would ruin the story he's planed out. Which is exactly the right move.

It was full of immorality. It made me want to strangle almost all of the characters.

We are full of immortality?

"almost"?

Also a kindle edition of a boxed set is just a hilarious concept.

Not really, because buying them in a set is usually cheaper than buying them separately. And I don't thing anyone has a electronic term equivalent to "box set".

It's not an 'equivalent' if you can't loan it to a friend.

I have the 5-book box set for the Kindle and loaned it to my wife.

Like how we still talk about folders.

Complete aside, but I continue to be annoyed that Kindle can't (or won't) crack allowing users to create folders or organize their library in any way other than 'Whatevs the Kindle feelz, yo.'

Maybe "set?"

Bundle?

Maybe, but at $10 during the holiday season sales, it didn't really matter. Now, if I only enjoyed reading on my tablet.

It'd be especially great if it came with an empty box.

Strangling is the most moral of murder methods.

At least it's personal.

A good Buddhist knows that poisoning is.

I remember when Jesus strangled that dude

And Lo, the LORD said unto them: Is Jesus Christ going to have to choke a bitch?

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Let everyone else take up a rope and begin throttling.

What about murder by omission?

It is what Jesus would do.

He seized power in a bloodless coup--all smothering.

You waste less air with a good throttlin';

SINNERS! FORNICATORS! LIVE UP TO MY NONEXISTENT STANDARDS!

It was full of immorality. It made me want to strangle almost all of the characters. So I did.

Yeah, anytime a long-form series tries to change things up just to "keep people guessing" it completely falls apart.

I think the books's already suffered from that in a way as some of the plot lines have gotten really sloppy in part due to plot twists that weren't as interesting as GRRM thought

One thing I loved about the last half-season of Breaking Bad is that the writers chose a predictable but emotionally compelling story over a bunch of insane plot twists.

my feeling is that by the last book (Book 9: Man, This Winter Sure Is Cold) there'll be three or four story lines instead of the 20-30 that are going on now

*Quentin Martell shuffles his feet and skulks away*

"Oh," he thought.

"God, Benioff & Weiss stopped returning my phone calls. I think I'll kill off the one character I told them I'd never kick off"

He also said he was going to write the books and we all know what a load of crap that is.

"'Valar morghulis,' she whispered, as she slipped the weathered coin back into her pocket and delicately stepped onto the ship. The Westerosi men around her grunted and swore, muscles straining as they hauled in supplies and prepared the ship to disembark. She knew it was unlikely that they would recognize her, as these were not the type of men she ever would have interacted with growing up in the halls of Winterfell, and yet it still felt odd that they did not even give her a second look, could not recognize her as one of their own.

She felt truly faceless in that moment. The Girl Without a Name had seen much, and learned so much more, and now the Faceless Men had given her a name: Cersei. Cersei Baratheon, Cersei, the Humiliated; her final, true test, the only thing standing between her and joining their ranks. The Girl Without a Name found her cabin, went inside and took a seat. "Cersei," she whispered.

Arya Stark smiled, her thumb on Needle's hilt.

Author's Note: Arya died on her way back to her home continent.

The bloody flux her ship carried required 10 chapters from the POV of Gyles Rosby about the sanitation of Kings Landing.

eta: Ah shit, I forgot that Rosby is already dead. Replace him with Ser Harys Swyft, who I'd completely forgotten about.

It's annoying that it seems like the "anyone can die" hype is getting to him. SPOILERS? Ned's death and the Red Wedding are narrative strokes of genius, but the character deaths are so infamous now I'm worried he's just gonna go for shock value to feed in to expectations. If that even makes sense.

This... already happened, SPOILERS, with Jon Snow's (partial) death
