    Climbing the Spitball Wall - An Unsullied's Take on A Song of Ice and Fire - Reading Complete! Now onto Rewatching the Show and Anticipating Season 6!

    in A Song Of Ice And Fire

    shimpy, do you plan to read the excerpted chapters from book six after book five?  

    I personally don't enjoy reading those anymore, as they're always out of context, and aren't final edits...I read the excerpted ADWD chapters before it came out, and just felt half-spoiled when I started reading the actual book. Just my thoughts on the matter.

    Another thought, I have to think this game was hampered by actor availabilty.

     

    I mean,

    the Cersei/Tyrion story thread just drops off the face of the map. I have to believe Lena Headey wasn't available to do her VAing and they weren't comfortable going with a soundalike after using Dinklage, Dormer, Rheon and Harrington in their roles from start to finish. There's even a point where Mira can suggest going to Cersei for help against Morgryn. There must have been atleast one scene with Mira and Cersei that had to be cancelled. 

     

    I'm disappointed. I was really looking forward to explaining myself to Cersei after the meeting with Tyrion.

    Yeah, I was wondering about that too!  I selected that option, and was confused when nothing ever came of it. It's too bad.

    Oh wow, I went a totally different way:

     

    As Rodrik, I sneaked into the Whitehill camp and chose to follow Gryff to save Ryon, killing Gryff in the process.

    As Mira, I protected Sera, and refused Morgryn advances, which resulted in her head coming off! So that'll be a very interesting huge difference in the next season!

    As Gared, I killed Cotter with the nightshade, but decided to stay to protect the north grove, as Lord Forrester had commanded.

    I've got a bit of an interesting name as well. My first name is just two letters, no periods or spaces, just two capital letters. I got it because my parents couldn't decide which grandfather to name me after, so they split the difference, and took the first letter from their two names, and slapped them together. At the very least, I was the first one in class to be able to write my name out, but over the years, I can't tell you how many times I've had to explain it to people, or show my license, because they just can't comprehend a name with simply two letters. And then, my middle name, is my father's name with "-son" added at the end.

     

    Don't get me wrong, I love my name, but it sure has been an eventful ride with it all these years. The funniest bit is that my friends in school actually shortened it to the first letter only, since two syllables is just too much to say, lol!

    Well, I don't think she's really wanted to know what's coming in the books, so I don't know...I'd leave it to Mya, who she talks to regularly, to bring it up, if at all. My guess is that she'd want to read the books the way they came out though.

    However, Boiled Leather does have a new reader-friendly listing of a chronological chapter order, that also preserves the Dorne Surprises as well: http://boiledleather.com/post/25902554148/a-new-readerfriendly-combined-reading-order-for-a

    Oh man, I couldn't be happier with this outcome. Such a great episode. Not that I feel THAT bad for Liz, but it must've been rough to wake up from what looked like a deep sleep and go through all of that with no warning whatsoever.

    I guess Gregor isn't going to die from the poisoning.

      

    I think he's still dead too but I don't know if we'll get the poisoning angle.

     

    Someone wondered if people started posting reaction videos to Oberyn's death.  I can only imagine what those will be like.

    I noticed Oberyn's squire was "washing" his spear blades before handing them to him. They'll probably turn out to have been soaked with poison of some sort.
