A Song of Ice and Fire - spoilers

I guess we should have seen no Pink Letter coming when they killed Mance, but as soon as I saw Stanis's wife and then Him killed I knew we were getting no Pink Letter. The battle scene IMO SUCKED! The letter stated 6 days of battle and yet we had what 2 minutes at most. Ya 15 minutes on Queen-B walking but 2 minutes on one of the Major Battles WTH!

I am really thinking it is more about the Booby quota and Death-shock-value than about a great story. Is HBO's budget so bad they cant spend it on Major things like Battles, Dragons and Major Plots. Dorne for me this season was a complete waste of time, the entire story and plot could have been done in 15 minutes max! Briean and Sir Tripod could have been 5 minutes max. Sam and Gilly were another waste of time. We could have got Much more Jon Snow story, Lady S could have been in it, Arya storyline could have really been done well and Dany's storyline could have been awesome as well had they stayed to the book.

I would have even been happy to lose Sam/Gilly, Dorne, Bri and Tripod completely for some Back-story flash backs to explain things Say like Tower of Joy (Now that would have been a major plot line where just before Maestor Aemon dies he recalls letters from Rhaegar to him and Ned to him.) If nothing else it would build the R+L = ? theories.

Or Cold Hands storyline (unless that's who Jon will become)

So in place of that possibly some Greyjoy stuff.

Daddyo, GRRM is writing "Winds of Winter" as we speak also speculation he finished and its before final editing to go to print". He will in all likelihood finish "A time for Wolves" ooppss my bad "A dream of spring" in 2019 according to most sources.

The show will wind up before then but GRRM has said the show is taking different routes with his guidance to the same conclusion. Basically he is writing to stories. His world and a Alternate world. Pretty cool when you think about it.

Well, Alright then! I'll look forward to the books. Thanks for the update, FF!

Don't want to hijack the thread, but, did you guys read Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series? If not, it is a "must read" for this genre.

Ok so at the end of each season I like making a video of each characters scenes and then looking at them. after doing Little Finger's my first one so far I have had one of those Light bulb Moments.

Little Finger is definitely a Targaryen supporter well sorta... More accurately a BLACKFYRE. After the video I went back to the books and the companion books and well I am starting to think he is a Blackfyre.

I could see it.

We aren't really given much info to his parents other than he grew up poor in the fingers.
