i just wanna put this out there to everyone

if you think asoiaf has filler

you're fuging retarded and need to suck a bag of dicks. there is no filler in asoiaf

not the above poster specifically, but everyone in general

because fug you

There's plenty of filler in it, but it's not useless or boring. Filler doesn't mean it's bad or useless.

I'd also say it isn't bad when comparing it to other high & epic fantasy series, because it seems to be a little problem in the genre.

The plot in ASoIaF moves along eventually, it's not like GRRM is stalling with pointless things.

Don't be a fanboy and take everything the wrong way.

there is no filler in asoiaf. that's the entire point and you're just too small minded to grasp it

nothing fanboy about it. the series was intended to be the way it is, and everything matters. just because you can't fit the piece together don't mean they don't belong.

go back to reading terry goodkind, you'll thank yourself for it.

No, there is filler, and it sounds like you think yourself some grand thinker that tries to find connections in places they don't even exists. You sound too small minded to comprehend it.

Either way, it's still one of the best fantasy series of all times, whether people think it has filler or it doesn't.

If only he could get the next book out sooner.

they cut what they could from the first novel for the tv series, and it suffered for it. hell they even added more material that wasn't in the books.

I'm still gonna be pissed if Jojen and Meera don't make it into the TV series (at least season 3 if not this one)... THE REEDS AREN'T FILLER, DAMMIT!

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
