Whilst this was an extremely well written novel, I simply didn't get it. We like Krimson Rogue, we did not like this novel at all. For the first time ever I was left wondering after finishing this, what was the point here? ...more |

“We've been dead for thousands and thousands of years. Dead or sleeping, depends on how you feel about it at any given moment. But that's okay. The trouble starts when you are born, then everything becomes taxing and temporary. When they pulled us into awareness, they killed us. Then we get saddled with a seven minute relay, at best. A soft limbo that's only palliative and comforting in theory. A momentary respite that's a cosmic joke of course and still resented by the divine. A petty haggling of which we weren't even a part of. When forced into an existence, we turned into the ward of all that breathes, subjected to the known universe, and though always partial to the unknown, which wasn't really found and never understood, is lost to us.”

I just saw this post, such a wonderful comment
thank you !
you have always been so encouraging and I really love all your feedback
I appreciate this


That made me laugh , the Star Wars bit , I miss your humor . You are too kind. And you are not too shabby yourself . I think of you as Queen of geekdom . Plus you are hot :p
Yeah , agree with you on the Nolan thing .
I do miss our Confession days , drop me a voice clip or a song over at whatsapp

Oh, my Whatsapp is fine. Just needs to be updated and I am being lazy lol not to worry, I am on it. See you there :)

Hahahaha
I am so happy that you are making a come back here :)

You'll thank me later."
Sure :) you got it!
I love your reco..."
That's quite alright :) because a promise is the best we can do anyways .

You'll thank me later."
Sure :) you got it!
I love your recommendations :)

Ah, rainy weather :)
This made me smile . It is OK, the fault lies with me, it is not on you lol I dither too much.
Worry not, we shall find another book and soon. I am thinking of rereading Back Roads by Tawni O'Dell, we can buddy read that one?

and we can have battles and mock fights lol

absolutely :)

I know you are being serious but that's so cute . You really like GoT . Hey buy action figures , that helps me.
And can I come to Mars with you ?

haha,
but seriously I hear ya. I feel your pain. I got the OST from the sixth season, never done that before. The withdrawal is harsh this time, and it helps the sound track was awesome and it doesn't help that this season was simply the best one yet. To be honest, I didn't miss season fifth. But this one is still echoing. Must reread the books :) been already doing that. But. lol

Arguably the most epic and rewarding episode . I'm still sad about no Lady Stone Heart , though I've accepted she ain't coming . But how emotional was the king in the north bit :) wow

I am definitely on the screamin..."
You know, you sound like Joey back when he ate his date's chocolate cake and wasn't even sorry :D that's the spirit. That's why one should watch it immediately. There is literally NO WAY you can escape the spoilers, not when it comes to GoT. lol. I myself watched it as soon as it was possible and even then I didn't go unscathed. I got one spoiler; Arya one, but not the whole thing, thankfully. But man oh man, what an episode, it was even better than the penultimate one, usually the best one as the show's standard. I thought last year's final episode raised the bar but nope. THIS WAS EPIC and so emotional. Filled with so many golden nuggets. The only thing I have an issue with is the absence of Lady Stoneheart, but I think it is time to accept she aint coming and know that Arya would be filling that role. Did you read or watched the Frey Pie thing? Glorious. Oh yes, until April 17 we can rewatch the entire series and read as much as Martin as we can. Not just the Song of Ice and Fire universe.
Stuffy Martin, HAHA.

I am definitely on the screaming crazed side of it, suffice to say I am pumped ! I am hoping for so many things to happen in the 10th episode, including Lady Stoneheart. After all, it was in the 10th episode last year that Jon Snow "died" I am hoping the showrunners would pull another ace. I know they cannot top Battle of the Bastards but hoping for something epic, exciting and a real satisfying ending. Of course, this is that time of year when every GoT gets a little saddened but hey next April really is not that far off, we can rewatch the series. Plus, there is always the books and maybe Winds of Winter would get here soon. You never know. Can't wait for this episode though :) hey maybe in some other lifetime we can do a Game of Thrones party, where we would watch the new seasons, while eating pizza.

This is the best eulogy for Jamie Lannister.

We can only hope , because I feel Martin can't deliver the books anymore. I just want things to wrap up neatly in any medium. You said it best, going without the umbrella of books is risky. And so far, the result has been rather absymal and desultory.

No, No. It's quite alright, I like it when people get passionate about GoT, especially you :)
You know what struck me as peculiar and immediately conspicuous when I was watching that episode? How when the Hound was sitting having lunch with the Brotherhood and they offered him something and such, and he replied that he preferred chicken. That felt like a nod to the fans, and the memes they have made out of that chicken segment from 2013. A clear case of fan servicing if I ever saw one. It's weird, how the fanboys (and girls) and the internet would affect a show like that. Power of social media.
I'll admit, that stage show dragged on and on. What bothers me so much is that I can't seem to find the background music from that scene, the first time they showed that, in the fifth The Door episode. lol
Yep, that whole Arya part was very badly written and very poorly executed, Very. See, the thing is. Both Arya and Jamie parts are progressive, they both advance as characters completing their arcs. Arya did become an assassin who actually likes killing and Jamie last time I checked, was doing his best to regain his honor and distancing away from Cersei. All this you know already lol
Split the fare with Dany, lol hahah omg Ro, that made me laugh. Considering Dany is a classic ditherer lol
Jamie Fooking Lannister, what have they done to this man on the show is beyond me.
-this isn't the westeros GRRM has envisioned.- THIS is the crux of what is wrong with the show. I agree wholeheartedly.

I'm just disconcerted with all hyping of Battle of the Bastards. Ok, it better deliver. It's episode 9 after all. Did you know , next year the show will feature only seven episodes ?

It was certainly lacking and far cry from last year's Hardhome. Overall I thought all the stories were luckluster esp Jamie's , what have they turned his character into on the show ? His arch is so much better in the books. I was shaking my head at the whole nonsensical Arya's part. I mean, none of the fan theories came to pass and evidently she was just that stupid and lucky. The amount of injuries she substained, she sure made a quick and speedy recovery .

Me too :)
