God be praised, I had no idea this board existed. Perhaps here I can find refuge from all those fags that showed up since /got/ got banned over on 4chan for being too cancerous even for them.

I hope the board owner won't be too upset if we talk about the book series here as well. It's difficult to really talk about the show without it.

So, with season 6 on the way, people have been reporting seeing Kit Harrington up in Ireland in battle armor or some such shit, to the surprise of absolutely no one (except for dumbasses). However, with this next season, we're getting into new territory. Spoiler territory, possibly. As we all know, D&D are such incompetent writers that they can piss off bookfags, SJWs, anti-SJWs, and as of late, even showfags. Since a lot of the upcoming season will undoubtedly be original content, this does not bode well.

Is the Battle of Fire even going to happen?

If it does, will it be as shitty as the Battle of Ice? WHICH WAS FUCKING OFF SCREEN HOW DO YOU FUCKING DO THAT

Is Stannis really dead?

How much worse can this show get?

Book/show discussion is fine.

As a showfag season 5 was just too awful for me to keep watching, even cleganebowl can't save it now. I doubt the Dykeknight actually killed Stannis, but at this point it doesn't really matter either way. Are the books worth starting or do they get this bad too?

A lot of people decry the later books for being too padded and full of filler bullshit, but I disagree: The fat man is quite fond of dropping hints to future events all over the fucking place, and given how many characters end up running around later on, it results in a giant autistic web of connections, foreshadowing, and subtle planning. You don't need to understand this web to get the basics of what the fuck is happening, but part of the reason why he takes so long to finish a book is because well yeah he's wasting a lot of time on bullshit too he's got a major, crippling case of autism that compels him to rev things up and make them more and more intricate as time goes on.

In comparison, the show is extremely watered down. Characters are simplified, flaws (in the case of Dany, Jon, and Tyrion) are whitewashed, big events don't happen (The Battle of Fire) or are gutted (The entire fucking Dorne plotline), and at the end of the day, it's plain that D&D can't write their way out of a fucking paper bag.

That being said, yeah it's a bit of a slog later, but if you've got the time and want to get mad at D&D, then it's worth your while to pick them up.
