true, but i was mostly talkin pre Jaquen-reveal characters that may have been making major calls in the story so far, it'd be mad easy for him to be like "so and so was secretly killed during ___ and this FM took his/her place" im just waiting on the big reveal :lupe:

Given how big he is on foreshadowing, if it does happen, I feel like hindsight would make it 20/20.

Breh alluded to Robert Strong in like Brans second chapter in the first book. He's definitely got this shyt planned out.

I read an interview somewhere where the HBO guys thought 8 seasons would be "ideal"...if that is the case, this is what I think we are looking at for a timetable for GRRM:

2014 / Season 4 / 2nd half of book 3, beginning parts of book 4/5 combined
2015 / Season 5 / Book 4/5 combined
2016 / Season 6 / End of Book 4/5, first half of book 6
2017 / Season 7 / End of book 6, beginning of book 7
2018 / Season 8 / End of book 7

That gives GRRM until late 2016 before Dream of Spring material starts filming and mid 2017 before it would air. If he doesn't have WOW out in 2014 it then he is screwed

Dude is unbelievably slow. He got mad at fans recently for pressuring him to finish like it hasn't been almost 20 years. Who the hell wants to wait that long to see how a series ends? I feel for the people who got into the books in '96. Tupac was still alive when Game of Thrones came out.

I thought I saw a theory about an FM (maybe Jaqen) murdering Balon Greyjoy too. The FM could be making a lot of waves.

Yeah Euron more than likely payed a FM with a dragon egg to throw Balon off a bridge. It was in someone's dream, can't remember whose tho..
