Jacob Potila was actually a Jacob Flotilla of lies.- WarTurkey
I've been lolling ever since I found out that his shitty books will be overtaken by and take their plot from their shitty TV adaption. Lol.

They don't take the plot from the tv-show, though.
So the books won't be overtaken?

Oh they will, but the show is doing it's own thing now, has been for a while. A load of shit happens in the show that isn't anywhere in the books.

But I remember reading that the books and show will remain connected (like they still are now) so that would mean that elements of the plot of the show will be making their way into the books if the show precedes them

They're connected, but the show has a habit of combining characters and changing people to better suit the tv.

They say you are what you eat, but I don't remember eating mYsELF
I see this delightful shit is still going on.


Anyways, we're like four months away from season 6 with GRRM not even mentioning anything about a release date, so I don't take this as much of a surprise.

I can see Jon's parentage being revealed this season, kinda sucks that we have to see it in the show first but eh.
Eh, if a reveal that's already been widely accepted among the fanbase is the worse thing to be spoiled this season, I'll be fine. What's really going to piss me off is when it starts to spoil who survives and who doesn't in a shitty, simplified way.

Spoiler
Like Stannis?
Spoiler
Possibly. I'm currently not expecting him to die in the Battle of Winterfell but I can't imagine he'll have a key role in the last book. I kind of think the characters they decided to kill off in season 5 were characters that they didn't know where to go with for the show. I mean they cut Aegon and he is obviously going to have a huge role in TWOW so it's hard to say what level of accuracy the show can be held to at this point. I'm more so talking about the A-list characters like Jaime or Arya. If one of them dies, then they surely die in the books.
Spoiler
Arya's lost me a bit. Not really that interested in her story at the mo.
Spoiler
Arya's story is wierd as fuck, both in what I know from the show and books. I wanna know more on what'll happen to Bran, we kinda got an understanding on the type of power Bran has in the Game of Thrones Telltale game(which sucked sadly).

I kind of just want to see Arya's training complete faster so she can return to Westeros, but at least she isn't taking for-fucking-ever like Dany is.

At this point I've pretty much given up on Dany. I think I actually enjoyed Brienne's quest more.
I quite liked book Brienne, she gave off this hardy impression but when you see her POV chapters you see that she's extremely wary about fighting people and knows she's not invincible... she was no Jaime of course but I thought her actions were sort of admirable (especially outside that inn).
Also, she has that one chapter where Septon Meribald gives one of the best anecdote/speeches in the entire series.

I hope (Ser?) Tumco Lho, Larraq and Red Lamb get some page time in the next book, they seemed really cool.

Brienne's quest felt like a fantasy rpg or something. It was cool. I liked Ser Hyle...

You can get the books for $28 on Amazon, and watch the series online somewhere. Or use HBO Go if your parents have HBO.

Spoiler
I think Stannis will crush Ramsay Bolton at least (Roose may escape), and return to the Wall to face the Others in battle, where he will die.

My second line of thought is that he might take Massey's sellswords and march south only to be struck down by Dany, which I would not be a fan of compared to the first option.
Spoiler
Stannis is a hard one to predict. I don't know where is going to fit in the conflict between Dany, Aegon, the Greyjoys, etc. But I don't think he's going to die based solely on the fact that he's suddenly getting financed by the Iron Bank. If he dies, what was the point of that? Your first option seems likely.

Roose can't die just yet. He's got some 'splainin to do.
Spoiler
About being a vampire?

You either die a hero or live long enough to become Mythic..
Am I the only one who likes Brienne?

Seriously, she is a solid character. And IRL she looks pretty damn good with long hair.

Yeah, but she doesn't get much praise either.
