    Totally agree, and at this point, after 5 books of throne squabbling, I'd like to see it get more exciting.
    I have a degree in English lit and aspirations to be a novelist one of these days, so I'm enthralled with the story-telling and that GRRM just really does an amazing job of putting words together, so the rest doesn't bother me. Plus his gift for writing interesting and unique characters. I just like to see what they're going to do next. The way Arya's attitude sort of changed toward The Hound was interesting and real, how she forgot to say his name that last night before she left him.

    Gosh, I love The Hound! And Samwell. I seriously love Samwell. Everyone loves Tyrion and Dany and Jaime and Robb and Jon -- the big, heroic, larger-than-life main characters. But these others are so much more interesting to me. I mean, I like all of the others just fine, but The Hound and Samwell are so cool.

    Though I'll see when I start A Feast for Crows if I change my mind.

    I love the storytelling up until the fourth book. I felt like the last two books started dragging a lot. To me, it felt like GRRM tried to extend the plot into 7 books instead of maybe 4 or 5 like it should've been, and a lot got stretched out.

    Give me a couple weeks and I'll have an opinion on the last couple books. lol

    They're so freaking LONG!

    They are! I'm still optimistic for an exciting ending to the series. I really wish he would finish them though. It's rough having to wait years for new material.

    I know I'll have withdrawal when I finish book 5. But with the show going on, he almost has to start writing faster or the show is going to pass the books.

    I find Feast and Dragons to drag a little bit. They're still very good, but it just seems like they were both a little anticlimactic.

    Mwahaha, I love that I see RML and DragonSquatter in here, too... my fellow obsessive fans.

    Just here to say I love the **** out of the books and show. Just finished the Dunk & Egg Tales (the three companion books to the series), AND GRRM just announced a release date for The Princess and the Queen (novella chronicling the original dance of dragons).

    I SHOP JON/SANSA NOT EVEN SORRY ABOUT IT. (In for the, "But they're brother and sister! Gross!" posts...ARE THEY?)

    GRR will probably kill off Tyrion in the first chapter of the next book anyway.

    I'd say, as a joke, that he'd kill off Dany, who is basically the one character guaranteed to live until the end (she IS the fire in "Song of Ice and Fire" right??), but he might actually do it. So it wouldn't be funny.

    I'm like 95% positive that Jon Snow is the Song of Ice and Fire.

    I am most definitely obsessed. My entire Pinterest activity the last few weeks has been pinning GOT memes. And I downloaded The Rains of Castamere to my phone a few days ago ...

    How can anyone's favorite character be anyone other than Tyrion? Unless you're a girl and have a thing for Dany.

    GRR needs to get his **** together and get the next book out.

    I like the beleaguered Stark children, Arya, Bran, and Jon. I wish there were a lot more Arya, in particular. I'm not that interested in dragons or Dany's trip back to Westeros.

    Love the series, didn't read the books.

    Love Arya,I wait to see her in real action... (but I guess it will take time)
    Would marry John Snow... Oh! He's so cute!!!
    I laugh a lot with Tyrion's lines...

    Love the series, haven't read the books yet.

    My favourites are Tyrion and Gendry at the moment.

    There's YouTube borderline-memes of him reading them. That and him singing for any women that sing (like Sansa).

    We LOVE Game of Thrones!
    I haven't read the books, but I love the show. My husband played the CCG a few years ago.

    My favorite character is Tyrion.

    And...John Snow. Mmmmmmmm......John Snow..........*drools*

    *snaps back*
    Anyhoo...it is my favorite thing to watch. We watch the seasons over and over. :)

    I love jon snow,hes gone through hellof self doubt. Samwell tarly has been badass for a "craven". Arya is well on her way to being a faceless man like jaqen hagar. And sansa has managed to survived some real **** situations with her wall of icy curtesy. Ive read ASIOAF many times and watched the show many times,looking forward to TWoW. If you want to analyze them,go to westeros.org and join the forum!

    On "A Dance with Dragons" now. I haven't watched the TV show. Arya is my favoritist character. She's adorable. I kept hoping she'd meet back up with her wolf (in more than just dreams) as she was going back and forth through the riverlands.

    Pretty sure those aren't dreams.

    All the Stark children appear to be wargs and I think Nymeria is going to show up again. She has to. Why else would he keep her alive?

    And pssh, first cousins is NOTHING in Westeros.

    I have a hard time picking a favorite character. The only one who is a total douche is Joffery and King Robert was kind of a **** IMO

    ETA: LOL you apparently can't type c**t on MFP
