What could you do in a book you can't do on HBO? They already have incest, burning little kids alive, gore everywhere and so on and so on....... [Reply]

Quite a bit if it involves characters that are dead on the show. [Reply]

I think this is his way of throwing a bone to 20+ year book readers who are about to be spoiled by the show. [Reply]

Zombie beastiality. Jon Snow comes back from the dead and rapes a Worg, giving birth to the man who will save Westeros. [Reply]
It remains to be seen why the twist might be considered shocking since nobody knows what the twist is.
All that is known is that the show cannot do the same twist because it involves one or more characters that are already dead on the show, so it will be unique to the books.
Agreed that this is clearly designed to make readers feel less threatened that everything in books 6 and 7 will be spoiled on the show. [Reply]

I have no basis in anything but it sounds to me like Martin is bitter about the way the show is going so he's going out of his way to one up the show. [Reply]
