Game Of Thrones Grown Up Talk. Do Not Enter Unless You Have Finished All The Books

So would the two lannister swords still work then since they were reforged?

So would the two lannister swords still work then since they were reforged?  

​I would think so... In the books, at least, it notes that it takes a specially skilled blacksmith to rework Valyrian steel...

[Darth Biscuit]

So... Should we safely assume now that Valyrian steel is infused with Dragonglass?​

 

That or magic.

Just found this comment elsewhere..

Longclaw is Valyrian steel. Valyrian steel, according to legend, was forged by spells and dragonfire. So it's arguably better than dragonglass!

Yay, and it basically confirms....he makes it up as he goes along.  Painting yourself in a corner here, Chief.

No I think he just lets the story take its natural course. He knows how it ends. How he gets it there he lets happen organically.

"Organically" is Hollywood speak for winging it as you go.  Useless and misappropriated word.  As I've said earlier, the first few books were great, but as it continues onward his roots as a TV writer/editor are coming out and he can't seem to find a way to end it so he meanders until he bumbles into something that can be passed off as an ending.  Comedy bits have this problem as well as complex dramas.

And it's nothing they can do in the show, because the show has already-on this particular character-made a couple decisions that will preclude it, where in my case I have not made those decisions," shared Martin

This is the one thing that bothers me.  And god forbid something big happens in the books that doesn't happen in the show, or vice versa.  I mean the show could kill off Jaime while Martin keeps him alive.  When I read books or watch TV shows I like to be drawn into it, but things like this really break immersion for me.

[stankowalski]

That really has nothing to do with the point I was trying to make.  

Imagine having Star Wars books where Darth Vader doesn't die.  All I'm saying is I hope the show doesn't change anything major.

Uh what? How do you know he can't seem to find a way to end it...we are far from the end. Let alone all the prophecies and foreshadowing of multiple theories throughout the entire series. I think he's known from very early on the end game of GoT.

Are you a writer? If not I think you don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to the creative process.

Did you think of that snarky and erroneous assertion before you started your reply, or did it come to you organically as you were typing? Martin zealots are worse than Apple fanboys I guess.

"For the Watch" should be coming soon, and no red priest or priestess at the Wall...

Interesting...
