Any rumors the books Winds of Winter and Dreams of Spring are still being worked on? If they actually are published, I may have to first reread A Dance with Dragons to reorient myself.
Got a tip for us?

Doesn't sound like it. After reading this post, it sounds like there might be another book after Dreams of Spring.
Thanks for the link!
It has an outstanding rundown of where book 5 left off. I remember most of this, a few I don’t, hence the need for a reread. It illustrates my point that the book is a much richer tale, than the HBO series.
Where did we leave the main characters previously in the ASOIAF series?
Here’s where everyone important was at the end of book five, A Dance with Dragons.
http://www.nme.com/blogs/tv-blogs/the-winds-of-winter-release-date-chapters-1942288
Jon Snow: stabbed loads of times by his own men at the Black Keep, left for dead.
Sansa Stark: in the Vale, undercover as Alayne Stone with her sort-of ally, Littlefinger, who’s posing as her father.
Arya Stark: still training with the Faceless Men in Braavos.
Bran Stark: north of the Wall. He’s just learned ‘greenseeing’ with his teacher, Bloodraven.
Rickon Stark: said to be in hiding on the island of Skagos, whose inhabitants are rumoured cannibals.
Daenerys Targaryen: stuck in the Dothraki Sea, surrounded by Dothraki warriors.
The Hound: left for dead by Arya.
The Mountain: remains something of a mystery. His skull was supposedly delivered to Doran Martell in Dorne as recompense for the death of Oberyn Martell. But a new knight on the Kingsguard, presumed a product of Maester Qyburn’s experiments, is eerily similar to The Mountain. Ser Robert Strong never takes off his helmet, never eats, never uses the ‘privy’ and has supposedly taken a holy vow of silence until Cersei’s innocence is proven.
Cersei Lannister: has just completed the walk of shame.

Tyrion Lannister: now a member of the Second Sons, waiting outside Meereen for everything to kick off.
Lady Stoneheart: in the Riverlands. She’s just tasked Brienne of Tarth with bringing Jaime to her.
Jaime Lannister: being led to find ‘Sansa’ by Brienne of Tarth; possibly heading to his death at the hands of Lady Stoneheart.
Stannis Baratheon: in an encampment near Winterfell, planning the battle with the Boltons. The Freys and the Manderlys, under the command of Roose Bolton, are marching on his position.
Theon Greyjoy: Stannis’ prisoner, awaiting execution. He has just helped Mance Rayder and his spearwives rescue Jeyne Poole (posing as Arya Stark) from Winterfell.
Roose Bolton: at Winterfell.
Ramsay Snow: also at Winterfell. Has just sent Jon Snow a letter claiming to have defeated Stannis and Mance Rayder, and asking for him to turn over Jeyne Poole, Selyse, Shireen, Melisandre, Val, Gilly’s son and Reek. He claims he will attack Jon at the Wall if he does not get what he wants.
Victarion Greyjoy: entering Slaver’s Bay to help Daenerys fight Yunkai.
Samwell Tarly: has arrived in Oldtown to train as a Maester.
Jon Connington: is moving to capture Storm’s End with his ward, purported to be Daenerys’ nephew Aegon Targaryen.
Davos Seaworth: has been told to retrieve Rickon Stark from Skagos by the Manderlys.
Varys: in King’s Landing, having just shot Kevan Lannister because he was doing too good a job of undoing Cersei’s failures.
Margaery Tyrell: in King’s Landing. She’s just been released into her father’s custody and awaits trial by judges for the accusations made by Cersei.
Loras Tyrell: dying of wounds sustained while trying to retake Dragonstone at Cersei’s command.

The Night King is going to ride his undead dragon into Winterfell and blue-flame that place to the ground. It’s been long overdue.
Then he marches south laying waste through the land. He rapes Cersie to death with an icicle dildo to a cheering crowd of wrights to show he conquered King’s Landing. The final scene is him slowly walking up the iron throne, turning around, and taking a seat as the rightful leader of the Kingdoms.
Just taking a swing in the dark here

You had me going until he rapes Cersei. I think the night king is a righteous fellow who is returning to cleanse kings landing of all the corrupt politicians who oppress the poor. Once he rids them all he will take his army of the dead and the extra dragons back to the north warning everyone that he will return if the people can’t be wholesome individuals
Cast will be in wheel chairs by the time this saga is over.....hoping this is the last season and they can wrap up all the loose ends. But will we be able to buy it on iTunes?
Yep, its been long confirmed that this is the final season.
And it should be available on iTunes for purchase about 1 month after the last episode airs (as per previous seasons). HBO doesn't do season passes to promote their HBO Now service.

That lists a few different streaming options with apps available for the Apple TV.

Yes, with a HBO Now subscription.
[doublepost=1551853188][/doublepost]Where We Left Off With Every Game of ThronesCharacter
https://www.vulture.com/2017/07/game-of-thrones-season-7-where-every-character-left-off.html
All aboard they hype train....that final scene in the trailer looks epic.
I hope the ending isn’t too dark. I’m certainly not expecting Happily Ever After, but when season one involves the “main character” getting beheaded, the finale really could sink to any depth. I’ll be interested to see the balance between GRRM’s unapologetic grim-dark, and HBO’s mass-appeal engine.
(I’m partial to the “night queen” theory, myself, which is about as dark as I could stomach.)
Because in the UK you can watch it at 2 am when you guys get it, I’ve had to put a blanket ban on doing that in the office so we can all watch Monday night.
Don’t want any spoilers!
Don’t want any spoilers!
Agreed! I’m always in two minds whether to click on this thread! I don’t even watch the trailers!
My neighbors are jocking for position to watch it with me. I'm the only with the 'Hand of the Queen' beer. It is from the Game of Thrones Royal Reserve Collection in my neighborhood. I'm glad I bought it when I did and stored it for this occasion. Of course, a sampling of one bottle of the barleywine ale at 10.7% was necessary, and it passed muster.
