GoT Season 7 Delayed

"Winter's never coming, is it?"

They say it's for more "gloomy weather", but I have a sneaking suspicion Martin isn't really happy with what's happened. May just be me, though.

Maybe they'll actually take their time with good writing this season.

Eh, the damage is done. Good writing for one season doesn't fix the last two. I kinda want them to do their own thing different from the books so the reveals aren't ruined when the time comes.

Not sure how much of a say he has in it. It probably really is about weather.

The last season was the best since the first. I don't understand how you people don't like it.

(Season 2 is the best one, though.)

It's not that I didn't enjoy last season, because it was really entertaining. But you have to admit the writing has degraded since they started getting more liberal with the source material.

I don't know, I sorta take it in stride now because it's just mindless action and tits at the end of the week (as opposed to what it was meant to be), and I enjoy it. I just also really enjoy the original vision for the show, and it's sad to see it depart from such.

Part of me hopes that it is about Martin not wanting to spoil the reveals in the book, but in all honesty you're probably right.

Didn't kill enough people this season

Season 2 was pretty top-tier tbh. Reading ACoK now.

Blackwater is still one of the show's best episodes.

I've seen so many people trash on it literally just because there's stuff that didn't happen in the books (yet) going on. If WoW came out prior to this season and it validated everything that happened I guarantee you'd see loads more people praising it

Or they could be just waiting for a good fuckin winter since winter is here

They're going in two different directions. Ramsay Bolton wasn't that big of a deal in the books and doesn't even marry Sansa. He marries some girl pretending to be Arya. They're completely different stories at this point, and that's not exactly a bad thing.

I know, and I completely accept that. I'm not saying the events that happened in this season will happen in the next book, but if they did no one would have a problem.

Literally this.

The Show board on the A Song of Ice and Fire forums are pure cancer because of the book fans. For example: when R+L=J was confirmed, book fans suddenly turned on their decades long theory, claiming that it's not longer possible just because the show "spoiled it" for them. Instead of directing their annoyance at GRRM's laziness and inability to properly handle his POV's, they'd rather brutalized the show.

"You want a good girl but you need the bad pussy."

Hopefully with the delay they will rethink their choices of scenes and realize story is more important than the soft core porn show they're trying to do.
