I threw that idea out on here. But a) the mods on here are lazy and suck and b) the book readers feel they need to post on here that they've read the book and "omg I have spoilers but I'm not gonna say he he he he he!!"Automatik;1459141 wrote:Yeah they have some elitest notion because they took the time to read the books. It's retarded.
I plan on reading them and actually have the first 2. I just don't give a fuck to do it right now. I'm enjoying the show...I don't get why the book nerds don't just let that be.
The same shit happens on another forum I frequent. The mods actually did something about it and split the threads. One for the show with no spoilers and another for the book nerds to post whatever and wank each other.

No reason to post spoilers....and again, anyone that suffered through A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons deserves a medal. Here is a synopsis.
Words are wind, which is why this post is full of fluff and that is no cruel jape. Not sure where whores go, but I'm sure they've slept with Lancel and Moon Boy for all I know. If I look back I am lost, yet the fat man creates red herring characters who may or may not have a point. As I broke my fast with canned tuna I realized that the last two books were a Mummer's farce, but yet you know nothing Manhattan Buckeye. You read books that were 80% self-reflection and 20% plot development, the latter of which would never be published in the first place.

Not if you read the books. If I'm full retard, so is one of the best Amazon.com posters that posted something more detailed and better. Without spoilers, I can't describe much and more, or little and less (again, inside joke).
If you expect GOT to be awesome beyond next season, then the producers need to deviate heavily from GRRM's books. Don't say you weren't warned.

You are welcome, I'll redact the review I noted: this is Amazon.com, not me, but it is brilliant:
(why yes, I am mocking GRRM's stylistic excess as part of this review)
He broke his fast with boiled neeps, and shivering stew, washed down with a flagon of Dornish ale. The grease from stewed salt pork clung to his gristly beard as he donned a slashed velvet doublet of purple satin, emblazoned with the crest of Ser Eddard Bauer. Over his smallclothes, he wore black pantaloons. He clambered into his Honda and began the short journey west, bearing northwards along the interstate. He turned left, edging his way past opposing traffic. If I look back, I am lost.
His office was a dull brown keep that sat astride the Crown Road. His desk was hidden behind a soundproofed beige cubicle and was lined with a faux wood finish. Reek, reek, it rhymes with teak.
He had finished A Dance with Dragons not a noonsday before and wondered if in truth he had finished the entire series. George R. R. Martin is so constipated from the fawnings of his lickspittles and self-indulgent side stories that he's not like to drop another turd of a novel anytime soon, if the last decade has told it true, he thought to himself.
He smirked at his own witticism. "It is known" he said aloud to himself.
To tell it true, he had enjoyed several parts of the novel. [redacte] first chapter was strong, as were the [redacted] and [redacted] chapters. He'd not expected that. Many of the early story arcs had glistened wetly with promise but of these Martin had written little and less as the book wore on. Of [redacted's] aimless navel-gazing, there'd been much and more. [Redacted] and [redacted] vied for the distinction of the most pointless [redacted] POV. [Redacted] had twisted her teats for naught, for [redacted's] chapters proved to be as useless as nipples on a breastplate. Gods be good, he thought, the fat man teased us with [redacted's] chapters for.... this?
And [redacted]... that had been the cruelest jape of all. Best that Martin had left out [redacted]. Though, given the masturbatory excess of Dance's prose, Martin could have learned a thing or two from a man who'd had to make do without his sword hand.
The epilogue was a satisfying end to an unsavory meal, but even the most succulent lemoncake doesn't salvage a bland and unfilling meal of gruel. In truth, it should've been left in A Feast for Crows, along with [redacted] chapters. At least then at least one of the novels from the last ten years would've amounted to more than a mummer's farce.
He set down his copy of A Dance with Dragons with an unsatisfying thud. Words are wind, he mused. Speaking of which... He raised a leg and broke his word. It smelt of stale bacon grease and mashed neeps.
By then, his bladder was full to bursting from the morning's coffee, so he headed to the latrine before he pissed his smallclothes. Reek, reek, it rhymes with leak. Along the way, he passed the receptionist from the adjoining office. She was a pretty brown-haired thing, a woman of about four-and-twenty, fully flowered.
"Where do whores go?", he asked her.
She slapped him.
He entered the men's bathroom and undid his breeches. The urinals were crofted from gleaming white porcelain and bore the seal of American Standard. Whilst it received his golden stream of the morning's piss, he contemplated how this was a metaphor for how Ser Martin had raised the leg and done the same to the continuity of A Song of Ice and Fire and the first three books.
He angrily composed an e-mail to Martin's editor whilst zipping up his breeches. He was only a man grown, unskilled in the ways of editing, but such was his wroth.
You know nothing, Anne Groell..."
GRRM wrote two really bad books in 10 years, and after next season HBO has to go in a different direction. I didn't go full retard. GRRM did.

No, because I'm full retard.
I'm not the writer that ruined favorite characters. It isn't even shocking anymore. If the next book came out next month I'm not sure I'd even bother reading it. If nothing else, the show might provide some sort of finality, because there's no way GRRM will do it. He's written himself into a quagmire. He has nearly 20 POV characters currently.

C'mon man, no spoilers.
We don't want people to be upset when the fifth season is about descriptions of food, quests that lead to no where, and every current character being in a different place than other characters.
