What GRRM said about the change to the Tyrion story (book spoiler)

[MTVN]

Was watching that Thronecast thing and think one of the super fans they had on there might have accidentally let a spoiler slip so I might as well ask this (probably book spoiler)

Spoiler:

Does the Hound survive? I had just presumed he died but then on that show they said the thing to know with GRRM is that never presume someone is dead until you see a body, which sounded like they were just revealing that he survives

Spoiler:

It's a only a theory, it's not confirmed but later on in the books Brienne meets a monk and stays with him, he tells her he found the hound and he stayed with him while he died, then later on in the chapter there's a mysterious grave digger who looks a bit like The Hound living with the monks. That's it really

Spoiler:

Still hasn't been revealed in the books but most are pretty sure he is alive, he just isn't "The Hound" anymore, he's gone through a change and is living at a monastery.

Spoiler:

Ah ok thanks, interesting I suppose but that would be a bit weird guess it will be a while before he would ever come back into the show then

[Locke.]

Spoiler:

I think Season 5 is going to be both books 4 and 5 because they run simultaneously to one another, so if they do that and The Hound comes back for the specific reason most expect him to, then he'll probably be in Season 6.

aaaahhhhhhh ok that'd be fitting

Hey Locke, what did you think about

Spoiler:

them changing the Tyrion/Jamie/Tywin bit last night? About deleting the Tysha part and having Tyrion and Jamie part on good term? Kind of spoiled it a bit for me

Spoiler:

Had a feeling they'd do it because they haven't mentioned Tysha in the show since season 1. I guess it just means that Tyrion's current dislike of Jaime in the books won't end up meaning much.. Or maybe he'll never meet Tysha again or something.

Earlier in the season I was worried they'd not kill off Shae and have her sort of take the role of Tysha, leaving on that ship across the sea and then her being the one Tyrion was always thinking about/wanting to look for, so at least they didn't end up doing that.

Show creators said

Spoiler:

Graves also suggested that The Hound will not be coming back after Arya left him to die on that hillside. “As far as The Hound, as I told the story … he’s gone. How is he going to survive that? The real point of it was that she walks away, it wasn’t that it’s left open ended.”

so i don't think they'll bring him back

Q: You couldn’t have missed the online furor over the lack of Lady Stoneheart in the Thrones finale. Were you surprised by that attention?
A: I actually haven’t seen any of that. I don’t look that stuff up. I avoid it like the plague. I was totally unaware.

Q: There was a lot of online conversation. I heard third-hand that you were basically told that it’s not likely to ever happen. Is that accurate?
Yeah, the character’s dead. She’s dead.

Do you have a preference at all—do you think Catelyn’s arc should end where it ended, or would you be into the resurrection idea?
You respect the writers’ decision. I knew the arc, and that was it. They can’t stick to the books 100 percent. It’s impossible—they only have 10 hours per season. They have got to keep it dramatic and exciting, and extraneous stuff along the way gets lost in order to maintain the quality of brilliant show.

[Locke.]

Is that George saying that?

Don't really take anything they say seriously about future stuff tbh, they can't be like "Oh yeah, that's going to happen", or

Spoiler:

"Oh yeah, The Hound will be back in 2 seasons"

Because it would spoil the show

No, I do not accept this.

George R.R. Martin Says ‘***** You’ to People Who Say He Won’t Finish the Books
By Jesse David Fox

You know all the pressure you feel when you have to text a person back? Like, you know they are just looking at their phone, waiting for your text? Now imagine that text had to be 300,000 words long, and that person you're texting was actually a million people. That is George R.R. Martin's life, with people constantly complaining about how long he's taking to finish the A Song of Ice and Fire series. So when the Swiss newspaper Tagesanzeiger asked him about exactly that, he said that he found the question "pretty offensive." Adding, "**** you," and the gesture below.
