The thunder had him shookspeaking of Hodor, was there some specific reason he was freaking out, or was it just a plot device for Bran to show off his 'power'?
i thought he always writes the climactic episode
He said when the show started there was no way in hell he was writing this ep. Said it fukked him up to even write it in the book.
What sort of reactions have you received from readers over the years about the scene?
Extreme. Both positive and negative. That was the hardest scene I’ve ever had to write. It’s two-thirds of the way through the book, but I skipped over it when I came to it. So the entire book was done and there was still that one chapter left. Then I wrote it. It was like murdering two of your children. I try to make the readers feel they’ve lived the events of the book. Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care. If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it’s a superficial experience isn’t it?
Also, he confirmed he's writing ep 2 of next season
He has written the scripts for the eighth episode of the first season, the ninth episode of the second season, seventh episode of the third season and the second episode of the fourth season
