Six Character Profile Vids For HBO's Game Of Thrones

looks mint.

Well, I picked up the first book right after it came out in paperback (waaaaay back in September 1997) and I bought each subsequent book the day they came out. This is by far my favourite book series of all time. I just wish George would cut down on all his other side projects and get the next 3 books out. The man EASILY looks 10-15 years older than he is and I don't suspect he'll live long enough to complete this series, much to my eternal chagrin.

Personally, I don't think he has a clue how to end it. It's gotten VERY complicated over the course of 4 books and #5 was supposed to be out YEARS ago and was simply comprised of the material/storylines that were split off during the editing of #4. Therefore, it should have practically been written by the time #4 was done. And that was 5 years ago. We got #1 in 1996, #2 in 1998, #3 in 2000 and #4 in 2005. ONE BOOK in ten years.

I'm not sure what his problem is, but it's not only worrisome but also incredibly frustrating. I know a lot of people who want to read this series due to my endless recommendation but are waiting to see if he can finish it first before they even start. Nobody wants another Robert Jordan situation.

congrats ruka! what did you win?

I can't wait to see The Hound and The Mountain That Moves!

These clips they're releasing are making me more and more optimistic for a damn good series and a damn good adaption. This coupled with the release date for the next book just makes it more awesome.
