I'm really starting to dislike GRRM for selling the rights to HBO at this point. Having a show finish your main plot for you when you've been writing since 1997 is honestly a bit sad and a disservice to your fans.

But for real, who actually thought that Aegon/Victarion were actually going to be important? Always felt like they were there to basically fill in more information on the world than driving the main plot. Same goes to Dorne. The entire Dorne sub-plot basically makes no sense when you remove reader omnipotence/omniscience.

he prolly thought he could finish. dunno whyd he think that, but im sure he was like, "2 books in 7-8 years? no problem!". but yea, i feel your pain.

Victarion i really did. in the books he'll be how dany gets to westeros. but in the show i noticed something recently while rewatching season 4, Daario tells Dany that hes taken the Mereen Navy and their 93ish ships. now, at the time i over looked this, but i'm pretty sure now that its the set up to replace Victarion. i understand things need to be cut due to the sheer volume of the novels, and abundance of characters, plots, and storyline. but shit, Whitebeard, Coldhands, Strong Belwas, Stoneheart, Aegon, Connington, Arianne Martell, 5 sand snakes, Euron & Victarion, Moqorro, Penny, and im sure im forgetting more. it just gets frustrating.

but you know whats really frustrating, when the show just fucking kills people that arent dead in the book. i know that Jojen aint doing so hot, but i feel all he needs is some tea and a blanket, but apparently no one gives a hot shit about Jojen. and so the book just kills him, no spoiler warnings or anything.

hmpf
