George R.R. Martin: Ending Of ‘Game Of Thrones’ Was In A “Different Direction” Than He Intended
By Bruce Haring



Author George R.R. Martin is still working on the next installment in his epic series of fantasy novels that became the basis for HBO’s Game of Thrones.

But he took time away from his labors to lament how the television version seemed to get away from his source material.

The TV series ending has been widely condemned by fans, and Martin’s slow output on his A Song of Ice and Fire novels (The Winds of Winter is next in the planned series) has angered many eager for a proper resolution. Martin said he was surprised that the television series out-stripped his output.
“When they began the [TV] series, I had four books already in print, and the fifth one came out just as the series was starting in 2011. I had a five-book head-start, and these are gigantic books, as you know,” Martin told PBS in Chicago. “I never thought they would catch up with me, but they did. They caught up with me and passed me.”

While the show was on the air, Martin managed to publish just one volume in the series.

Martin also noted that when the television series moved ahead of his source material, he felt it “going in somewhat different directions. So, I’m still working on the book, but you’ll see myending when that comes out,” he said.

HBO has a prequel series, House of the Dragon, set up with a 10-episode first season, expected to arrive in 2022. Martin is again involved in the series, a potential problem since he admitted the first series drew his attention away from writing.

The books are different from the series. Couple major characters in the books were not even in the series.

Doesn't this directly contradict earlier statements? I could have sworn that he said that he gave D&D the final resolution he imagined and that the outcomes were basically the same (Jon Snow killing Daenarys and Bran ending up on the Iron Throne).

My guess the White Walkers will have a different ending in the books. That Arya killing the big baddie was pure TV BS

Don't have high hopes for the new shows, the same executive geniuses behind the first show still run hbo. Not only that bit after the ending being so terrible I would feel dumb investing in a universe with such a shitty end game.

Ps the books suck. Martin is a hack.lol


Still let me know if it's dope, you've put me up on more than a few good shows and anime lol

I read the books before the series came out and the consensus was the books were great and everyone is waiting on the last two.

Tried reading them, found the writing to be about the same quality as most YA novels so wasn't my cup of tea. His sex scenes are especially hilarious to read, they sound as if they where written by steve carell I'm the 40 year old virgin. Lol

Do it," she spat, "and I'll kill you in your sleep." She was sopping wet when he entered her. "Damn you," she said. "Damn you damn you damn you." He sucked her nipples till she cried out half in pain and half in pleasure. Her cunt became the world. - A Dance with Dragons (Asha and Dagon Greyjoy)

Sam found himself kissing her back. I said the words, he thought, but her hands were tugging at his blacks, pulling at the laces of his breeches. He broke off the kiss long enough to say, "We can't," but Gilly said, "We can," and covered his mouth with her own again. The Cinnamon Wind was spinning all around them and he could taste the rum on Gilly's tongue and the next thing her breasts were bare and he was touching them. I said the words, Sam thought again, but one of her nipples found its way between his lips. It was pink and hard and when he sucked on it her milk filled his mouth, mingling with the taste of rum, and he had never tasted anything so fine and sweet and good. If I do this I am no better than Dareon, Sam thought, but it felt too good to stop. And suddenly his cock was out, jutting upward from his breeches like a fat pink mast. It looked so silly standing there that he might have laughed, but Gilly pushed him back onto her pallet, hiked her skirts up around her thighs, and lowered herself onto him with a little whimpery sound. That was even better than her nipples. She's so wet, he thought, gasping. I never knew a woman could get so wet down there. "I am your wife now," she whispered, sliding up and down on him. And Sam groaned and thought, No, no, you can't be, I said the words, I said the words, but the only word he said was, "Yes." - A Feast for Crows (Sam and Gilly)

"He's gone," Shae said. Tyrion turned to look. It was true. The eunuch had vanished, skirts and all. The hidden doors are here somewhere, they have to be. That was as much as he had time to think, before Shae turned his head to kiss him. Her mouth was wet and hungry, and she did not even seem to see his scar, or the raw scab where his nose had been. Her skin was warm silk beneath his fingers. When his thumb brushed against her left nipple, it hardened at once. "Hurry," she urged, between kisses, as his fingers went to his laces, "oh, hurry, hurry, I want you in me, in me, in me." He did not even have time to undress properly. Shae pulled his cock out of his breeches, then pushed him down onto the floor and climbed atop him. She screamed as he pushed past her lips, and rode him wildly, moaning, "My giant, my giant, my giant," every time she slammed down on him. Tyrion was so eager that he exploded on the fifth stroke, but Shae did not seem to mind. She smiled wickedly when she felt him spurting, and leaned forward to kiss the sweat from his brow. "My giant of Lannister," she murmured. "Stay inside me, please. I like to feel you there." - A Storm of Swords (Tyrion and Shae)


A regular Shakespeare lmao damn near 50 shades of grey bad

Man, I honestly think HBO's butchery in the last season took the wind out of R.R Martin's sails. He was probably like,
'Bran is the character with the best story? Bran!??,' fuck writing anymore.

And I honestly don't believe HBO ran the whole Arc of the last season past him tbh. Think the dude is being politically correct cuz they probably gave him some hush money.
