It would be a very poor literary decision though.

I actually root for the White Walkers at this point. Most honest dudes in Westeros aside from Stannis and they don't burn people to death painfully.

Essos should still be fine.

Essos is just comically evil at its core, though. If there's any place that deserves a Zombie Apocalypse, it's Essos.

Frankly I say wipe out the entire world.

I mean, it's not like it won't happen sooner or later considering that it doesn't matter what you do, your actions can end up getting you and and hundreds of others killed, or people will assume you are a horrible person anyway.

What about that jungle place I'm forgetting the name of? It hasn't done anything evil aside from play host to a flesh eating disease.

....

Oh, it's irrelevant if they did anything. Just being there is a reason to kill them.

Or alternatively, they'll be killed because they are there regardless of whether they've done anything wrong or not.

Braavos is awesome. I'd rather live there than in all of Westeros any day of the week.

[up] Sothryos? I think that's how it is spelled. :c

It would be true either way, really. It was basically two ass-kicking sessions with a skull-crushing in the middle to give some variety.

Season Five starts April 12th. I'm probably not watching it.

I'd sworn to myself that I'm only watching Season Five to see if Jon Snow is killed (or so it seems) near the end of it. But, seeing as the previous season's not even near ADWD, I don't think that's even possible.

But I'm going to watch it anyway because TWOW is still not yet published.

[up] Well, the show's timeline is all over the place compared to the books. The Sansa/Littlefinger/Vale plotline is practically caught up to the end of the books, while certain things from ASOS still haven't happened yet, including Balon kicking the bucket.

[up]And I think they've said that that plot has still been pushed back to Season 6.

Which makes no friggin sense, since you can get it the hell out of the way in 20 seconds. You don't even have to go into all the fallout and aftermath, but you can get that done already. Rather than not having the leech Chekhov's Gun go unfired from what, Season 3 to Season 6?

I don't know how well these guys are going to carry on once they no longer have Martin's work to at least provide a framework for them.

[up]I'm only sincerely hoping that the series doesn't go down the drain for diverging a bit with the book's plot, since it's a bit messed up.

[up][up][up]I believe it might come in early to mid-season, hopefully. The timeline will be completely confusing if it doesn't happen this season.

Wasn't there some report that they weren't bothering with killing off Balon and would just have him take Euron's place?

not killing Balon would be interesting for the little bit of development they've given Yarasha

They have made references to Theons uncles in the show and Balon is simply too lame to replace Euron IMO.

Aeron has already appeared and we still need Victarion to show up.
