Not in the books and more than likely not in the show either. Remember nobody except for a few people knows that sansa is there, and I doubt that they think that anyone who isn't related would spend any money to pay the ransom. Also I doubt if the hound is gonna stick around to see if anyone else is gonna pay.
Lady Stoneheart is going to appear in the last scene in Episode 10.

The TV series is decent entertainment, but it seems like the books have begun to lose steam. It's to the point where I'm saying "What's the point, other than killing off characters?" Other than that it doesn't seem like Martin has a strong hook to his stories. In fact, you could skip whole sections of the books and miss out on virtually nothing of meaning.
This guy seems to be writing the never ending story. Plus his agent recently suggested that he may not have a strong plan on how to even bring the thing to a close.

I used to think portions of the book were slow as fuck and I would half-read them only to discover the exposition laid out in those chapters that comes back in chapters of even books later. I then would have to go back and reread those chapters I half-assed.The TV series is decent entertainment, but it seems like the books have begun to lose steam.

My question is this though, the TV show has exhausted certain main characters like Sansa, yet Danearys story hasn't really even taken off yet as far as where they are compared to the book. So I guess now Sansa story will no longer be from the book because there isn't shit left.

For a series this vast and this long, you have to focus on the dramatic arc of the story.
Exposition
Rising Action
Climax
Falling Action
Denouement
When you take a couple steps back and look at things this way, you understand better why things are laid out the way they are.
For example: the Danereys storyline bores the shit out of me. So does Bran and at times Jon Snow, but you know the culmination of the entire series is going to lay at the feet of the three of them. All of this is leading up to a climax and ultimately the denouement.
I used to question GRRM's vision and ability to effectively tell this story. My faith in him would be restored as I'd keep reading and see how relevant all that superfluous shit meant as the story moved forward.I agree 100%. People hate on Feast for Crows, but think of it as the middle book in a 7 part series and it does exactly what MonkeyBiz suggested. It's the calm before the storm. The only real fault I have with GRRM is he introduced a major new character in book 5 that doesn't fit into the narrative so far. which leads me to believe things will go bad for that character quickly.

Be clear - Dany's ability to lead and rule will be the major storyline once she hits Westeros. All of this exposition is the foundation for what is the come and the resolution of the story. Stories come full circle.
Ha! I forgot all about the Others. What is the ultimate conflict?I really think the whole Mereen situation was just about buying GRRM some time to allow her Dragons to grow. Dany really makes a mess of most things while she was there. The whole history of the Targaryaens was about taking names and kicking ass (as long as they had Dragons). Only a few of them were actually effective as rulers.
No, I believe that ultimately Dany will be drawn back to Westeros not to rule, but to lead the people in a fight against the Others per the prophecies. She may not even survive it but that's her destiny IMO.
The wild cards are cats like Euron Crow Eye and his damn dragon horn, Littlefinger, and Melisandre. One or all of them is going to do some major fuckery soon
I was always told by writers the hardest thing to do is end a good story.. Lets be real here man this could EASILY be a never ending story. Look how many characters there are, look how EASILY new ones can be added. Shit the Story of Fire and Ice have backstories that could be 5 books on their own. How do you end a story with so many people that have been wronged and chances for revenge? That's a hard ass job

I see a crossbow in someone's hand in the preview for next week. People are gonna shit![]()
Pun intended.I see a crossbow in someone's hand in the preview for next week. People are gonna shit![]()
Why show Stannis at the Great Bank if he wasn't coming to save the day? Unless they want to jam pack the final episode next week.I don't understand why people are bitching about having no Stannis.....
Unless,they're making the last episode 70 minutes long, why are they ending the episodes,so early..
I enjoyed this episode more than the Blackwater episode...![]()
