SEMI-SPOILER ALERTS:
So.....I finished watching Season 5 of GOT that came out on DVD recently. And I understand Season 6 is about to begin. My question: Where the fuck are they going to take the story from here?
They ran to the end of the stories in the books in Season 5 in respect to some characters. Jon Snow being stabbed (but maybe not killed?), Danarys riding off on her Dragon. Cersei's Walk of Shame. These were the end games of these characters in the books. The books did not depict the death of Stannis....so even Season 5 went beyond the books.
Are they just going to go on with the story from here with these characters? With George R.R. Martin guiding them of course.
Or do they go back and pick up story lines that have been completely left out? An entire 1000 pages regarding the fate of the Iron Islanders has been ignored. Will that be picked up? At the end of the novels, the Iron Islanders were about to invade Meereen while Dany was off on her dragon, running into the Dothraki.
Will they tell the tale of Aegon VI and Jon Connington? He too is supposed to be the only other surviving Targaeryon who came back to Westeros after having been thought dead.
Do they pick up the story of Catlyn Stark, who was supposed to have been brought back to life by the Red Priest, Thoros of Myr.

I believe george Martin has said the show will end the story before the books
-
I had heard lady stoneheart will not be appearing
-
If all of what you say is true....then you will have the books contradicting the show. And I know he is supposed to write 2 more 1500 page novels.
Is he going to retailor the books to fit the TV show storylines, or what?
-
The basic story is the same. I'm sure he'll elaborate upon it appropriately. It does not appear as though Martin is particularly motivated to complete his story.

Is it? Stannis was killed in the show, not in the books, not yet anyway. That is a very basic element of the story.

They didn't show stannis dying which is suspicious since they have not shied away from gruesome deaths.

I said this at the time. Unless you see someone actually croaking, don't be sure. Jon Snow will almost certainly be back in some capacity. They've teased melisandre who has a special interest in him and the ability (in her religion) to bring people back from the dead, as thoros of myr has done with beric dondarrion multiple times and 'lady stoneheart' (though not shown in the tv show).

Were you 'tittalated' by melisandre last night, gip?

I am one of those guys that does not watch the show until it comes out with the DVD sets. In other words, I did not see Season 5 until just last month....only weeks before the new season started. I shouldn't do it that way, I should start watching the new season now.

I managed to stay spoiler free until watching it last night. So much going on, so many story lines progressing finally.

This post is dark and full of spoilers...
So the worst kept secret was finally revealed and Jon Snow is back from the dead. I'm a little disappointed in the biology aspect - the guy has stab wounds and presumably holes in his lungs, and yet when he comes back to life he takes a big old breath.
Anyway, he's back, the wildings have helped restore order, and pretty soon Sansa will end up there with Jon and all will be good. Right? Because that's how these things always work out in GoT...
Tyrion freed the dragons, setting him up to ride one of them (in line with his hypothesised Targaryan ancestry). Ramsay killed his dad, and fed fat walder and the baby to the dogs, so is now technically Lord Bolton of Winterfell. I have no idea what's going on there, with the Karstarks as well, but it's interesting. And maybe we'll find out what Bran is doing...but probably not.What you talking about Hodor?

I'm enjoying this show less and less. They travel from one character to the next too often just to drag the series on.

Saw that. Brilliant.

Was glad to see that sadistic fucker get eaten by his dogs.
-
That episode. Spectacular.

Just finished the newest episode, and all I can say is:
Cersei...holy fuck:
