This one read aloud by GRRM The POV is Spoiler Victarion The first 30 minutes is an interview and then the reading starts around 30:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlJblxV3QHQ
you should watch up till the reading. loved how he talked about the Sopranos breaking through the old network rule that lead characters have to be likable. love the sopranos.
Interesting comments about the networks making changes that he was against. Any doubt he was talking about Cersei when he was saying they wanted to make certain characters more likeable? I hated how they tried to make her sympathetic when she's really just an evil witch. Just re-read the part about her having Robert's bastard twin babies killed and the mother shipped off across the sea. She can't die soon enough
Doing this now, at least he admitted they made an effort to make some characters (Cersei) more likable
Is there a rough guesstimate of when book 6 will be released? 700+ pages into ADWD right now, but it's going to be weird having to wait for the next book to be released since I didn't start reading the series until after I watched season 1 of Game of Thrones.
Book 5 talk in spoiler Spoiler So, I just read the only chapter 48 in ADWD, which is the first Jaime chapter in the book, where at the end Brienne tells him that she found Sansa, but he has to come alone or the Hound will kill her... Then, I went to look at the chapter summaries page on awikioiaf to see how long I had to wait to get to the next Jaime chapter, and I found out that there are no more Jaime chapters! There are however some chapters with titles that aren't named after specific characters; so I was wondering if there will be another chapter in book 5 that goes into the Jaime story. Are there?
I don't want to know which chapter or what happens in the chapter, I just want to know if said chapter is in book 5.
