JON AND ARYA WERE SUPPOSED TO BE IN LOVE ZOMG
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

So we are getting ahead of the books next season? Cool.

Seems like a rather large Fast Forward though in the little one's case, no? [spoiler]\i'm assuming that is Tyrion? What about the ship journey? The female midget? The pigs?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]And Daenerys...lots still have to happen to her.[/spoiler]

Quote[spoiler]Game Of Thrones: George R.R. Martin Says People Are Going To Die Who Don't Die In The Books

A Song of Ice and Fire autor George R.R. Martin has earned a reputation for being a particular deadly writer, when it comes to his characters. It turns out Martin may have met his betters in that department in D.B. Weiss and David Benioff, the creators and showrunners of Game of Thrones, the television adaptation of Martin's fantasy series. Martin made a surprise appearance at Saturday night's Writers Guild West Awards, and warned fans that Weiss and Benioff were planning to up the death toll in Game of Thrones Season 5 from what it was in Martin's books.

"People are going to die who don't die in the books, so even the book readers will be unhappy," Martin said. "So everybody better be on their toes. David and D.B. are even bloodier than I am."

Game of Thrones Season 5 will be an interesting one for fans of Martin's original series, as the television adaptation has begun to catch up with the book series. Fans will be left to wonder what a death of a character on screen who is still alive in the books will mean for that character once Martin's final two books in the series are released.

Speaking of those final two books, Martin tells ShowBiz411 that he's planning that he's still got two books left to write, but how many seasons of television that translates into is up to Benioff, Weiss, and HBO.

"This is the fifth season, the sixth season HBO picked up last year. We will have a 7th, 8th or 9th, no one knows. They only renew one or two seasons at a time. After we do season 6, maybe we'll get a renewal for 7th and 8th. That all depends, Television is a very changeable medium.

"Yeah, it's the hottest show on TV now, but will it be the hottest show on TV two years from now? Hot shows come and go and television changes, and I've lived through that before. I certainly hope that we get to tell the entire story. Because whatever happens with the show I'm going to finish the books, it will be seven books. But each of these books are 1500 pages long and they each have enough material in them for several seasons. I have two more books, the one I'm writing right now, The Winds Of Winter, and after that the last book, The Dream of Spring, so those will be the two final books. But we're talking 3000 pages of material. How many seasons that translates too? That's up to D.B. And David.[/spoiler]"
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I actually think that Weiss and Benioff have a better feel for the story at this point than Martin does.  He's gone potboilerish on the series, but they have a limit to what they can get funded.  I think two more seasons is probably the limit. Even The Sopranos ended after six seasons, and HBO learned from True Blood that stretching beyond that is dumb.

I just hope the series goes in a different direction and we don't get an ironic situation where the series starts spoiling the books

That is already happening.  Martin and HBO have worked out how each is going to end their story, and the show won't end like the books... which is to say that the show will end, unlike the books.
