No meu entendimento, Martin vacilou ao deixar o "Plot do Que jaz além da Muralha" "congelado" por quatro mil páginas ( e, até agora, 17 anos) do jeito que fez. Ter introduzido elementos que ele, ( confessadamente) talvez, nem pretenda desenvolver na saga, mas, sim, com sorte em outros livros sucessores, coisas como Asshai e a Sombra, enquanto os Outros ou Andarilhos Brancos permanecem uma cifra total até o quinto livro, me pareceu uma grande pisada de bola...
Mas vamos ver no que vai dar. Um amigo meu acha que a caracterização dos Outros tem a ver com o que rola no livro da Ursula Le Guin, o Planeta do Exílio o que, talvez, indique que nem tudo em Westeros é o que parece ser.... O que de certa forma pode redimir ou justificar a aparente mancada da congelada nos White Walkers.
O que vai de encontro a algumas das especulações da Wild Mass Guessing sobre ASOIAF.
A de que o que está lá no Norte é produto de um sistema de defesa magi-tech e não realmente uma cultura formada por seres vivos pensantes com livre-arbítrio. Mais ou menos como o Shining One de Moon Pool do Abraham Merrit, livro e autor homenageados na Canção do Gelo e do Fogo. Ou seja, a coisa é tecnológica/alien/mágica e todo o "screen teológico" seria uma cobertura de fumaça...
Deixa ver "malevolently evil priestesses" ( Melisandre, Quaithe(?)), alien super science and vampiric transdimensional life-forms as ancient as the hills" ( The Others, A Sombra?)
Melisandre ( óbvio que eu já estou gamado na mulher!!Sou louco em muié poderosa, se vestir de vermelho então...)
Suspeitamente similar ao Pyrates de Memory Sorrow and Thorn, que era um priest que usava o estranho robe vermelho e que voltava um irmão contra o outro, ambos príncipes, por causa de uma profecia também conectada com a passagem de um cometa ( huummmm!).Como não achei picture dele, apelei incluindo o Crimson King da saga da Torre Negra do King
E isso bate com um comentário recente do Martin.

That's a shame. As a space nerd, I always hoped their would be a future chapter with just brief discussions of the planet's rotation to the sun and how some variable would cause the drastic changes in seasons and season length.
That would be pretty cool in a science fiction novel, and indeed, was pretty cool in The Planet of Exile, an Ursula Le Guin novel on a world with long summers and long winters and how that affects it culturally (and how the vaguely medieval-era people of the world must prepare for northern invaders).
But Ice and Fire has hints running all throughout it that a lot of the thematic stuff may be literally connected, magically. I just read the first of the Dunk and Egg series of short stories, and offhandedly a character there observes that some say the summers have been shorter since the dragons died.
We have Winter, we have Ice (as in Fire and Ice), we have the walkers, we have the Old Gods, and in the other corner we have Fire, Summer, Dragons, and R'hllor. Cold has the disaster of a wintswept landscape of zombie men, hot has the disaster of the Doom of Valyria, a burning cauldron of destruction. We have claims dragons bring magic to the world, or summer, or whatever, there's clearlly a lot of vaguely Manichean dualism screwing around here and I'm sure it'll make sense eventually.
It will all make sense because the orbit of Westeros (for lack of a better name) sometimes syncs up with the orbit of a red giant that severely reduces the amount of sun/warmth in Westeros. This causes the long winters which only happens every such and such cycle.
That crazy orbit that causes the long winters is also responsible for the dead rising and "magic" increasing in use in Westeros.
See, it's all caused by "space magic."

I'm 40+ and I was prepared to be disappointed, just a bit. Are characters like the scientist-skeptic, the hulking blonde Norse berserker, the slightly fey heroic Irishman, and the nefarious double-crossing Russian (German in the pulp magazine version) clichéd? Completely. Are plot devices like lost races, male characters enraptured by incredibly beautiful virginally pure or malevolently evil priestesses (or possibly both combined), alien super-science, and vampiric transdimensional life-forms as ancient as the hills?

Fans of the novels are eagerly awaiting Martin’s final two instalments of the seven-part series. In particular, they are eager to learn more about the White Walkers — or The Others — a mysterious, undead race seemingly bent on humanity’s destruction.
“(We’ll learn more about their) history, certainly, but I don’t know about culture,” he said. “I don’t know if they have a culture.”

GRRM has say that he enjoy very mutsh Tad serie Memory, Sorrow and Thorn. He also say that then he want write something similar.
There it come.
The Dragonbone Chair=The Iron Trone and dragonskuls., very similar and I remember that somewere GRRM say that he got this idea from Tad serie.
Prince Josua. He was saved in the dungeon but GRRM seems to think that it is better kill Ned, it is more effektive. Then another similar charagter get his blase and it is Jaime. They all share similar mind and honor.
Simon and Arya saw very similar discussion in they dungeon break.
Tads Red priest and Georges Red priest. Tads was pure evil and I think that so are Georges too. And both Red Priest are wery manipulative.
Elia = Mad King and Stannis. Lots of similaties. Elia are mad like Aerys and Stannis and Elia are both in Red Pries manipulative.
Princess Miriamele are very similar then Dany, Arya and Sansa. Sansa are so lady and so are Miriamela, and bouth have similar bad experiences. Miriamela and Arya both feign to a boy. Miriemela, Sansa and Dany are all heirs.
Lyanna, Rhaegar and Robert love triangle = Josuas and Elias mother, that knight who are Josuas real father and John Prespyter love triangle = Guenewere, Lancelot and Arthur love triangle = Helena, Paris, Menelaos love triangle. Same story, another panties.
Memory, Sorrow and Thorn = Ice, Dawn, Light Bringer ets. Meybe when Ice and Fire meet result are same kind then Tads storys sword meeting.
Simon Snowlock are very silmilar then Jon Snow. Bouth are secreth scion to realm.
League of the Scroll and they pigeons are very similar then maesters and they crows.
Binabik = lot like Tyrion. Bouth are dwarfs and wery samarts. But Tyrion is influenced also that dwarf on England court in the time of queen Elisabeth.
There are even more similarities but I dont recall them all now.
P.S Cersei and Lannisters. Katariina de' Medici and Medisi house. Irene of Athens a Byzantine empress and hers Nikephoros as finance minister and eunuch Staurakios share similaries to Cersei, Litlefinger and Varys.

Don't forget the Red Keep having a huge maze-dungeon below it. Even trying to explore one tower caused people to vanish into the maze.
I'm still waiting for GRRM to try writing a chapter that's a pure solo dungeon crawl done over days. Memory-Sorrow-Thorn had like 3 of those and they were my favorites.

GRRM even has a Josua and Elias IIRC, or he uses some modification of the names.
I do remember him saying how MS&T re-invigorated the epic fantasy but he also has quite a few differences to Williams' more straightforward dynamics.

I think you might be looking a bit much into it (characters such as Miriamele/Dany/Arya/Sansa are all pretty standard characters in fantasy), but I can see where you're coming from in most cases. The part I quoted, though- two characters couldn't be more different. The whole background of Binabik (you know, they're a race, not just... short Erkynlanders or whatever) is completely different, and he's actually a happy (if odd), trusting, relatively forward person. Tyrion is none of those.

I read MSaT before aSoIaF and i did notice a few similarities and influences as i went through the books but i think you're reading into too many things. Nearly every fantasy novel will share certain traits! I have to share Le_Saboteur's point about Binabik and Tyrion, where as Tyrion is shown to have a disability the trolls in MSaT far from lacking in physical skill! (gotta love those ram mounts). I did think when the red priests were introduced into aSoIaF that is was a homage of sorts but who can know for sure

Alexandair and Le_Saboteur. Yes. Tyrion and Binabik indeed are not the same. But boint was that Tyrion is influensed with Binabik. In fantasy are lots of dwarfs but not so many those who use they brain.

We can even use these similarites to create exciting new crackpot theories.
In Tad Williams trilogy the hero from the past who fights with the sword made out of a meteor is found in a weird town built on a swamp.
Ned mentions he was saved from hero from the past who fights with the sword made out of a meteor by Howland Reed. Howland Reeds daughter fights with a net, and mentions she was taught how to do so by her father.
Conclusion: Howland Reed threw a net over Arthur Dayne and dragged him back to Greywater reach (weird town built on a swamp) where he will be found later on in the story!
You heard it here first kids!*
*Poster does not necessarily believe his own rambling madness, but has to keep self amused somehow until ADwD turns up.

WOW
I start this topic for a reason. I allways think what are influensed GRRM to do something. If I know that Cersei are like Irine of Athens or Katariina de' Medici then I can guess what she do next. Meybe something similar then character who is influense to create Cersei.

This is something that I can believe to happen. Remember that guy name is ARTHUR and we have hear wery little about he and Eddard think that he was best knight ever.

There may be some similarities, but lets not forget the fact that compared to ASoIaf, Memory, Sorrow and Thorn is a turd. I liked the books overall, but making it through the first 400 pages of Dragonbone chair was mind numbing. Nothing against Tad Williams, but his books are rather childish in comparison. I know there are some references used by Martin, and probably some ideas, but most of these similarities are really grasping at straws to find a connection.

Oh and in Memory Sorrow & Thorn theres a bad guy, Ingen Jagger, who wears a dog helmet.
Lets not forget that compared to ASoIaf, Memory, Sorrow and Thorn are still really good books.

HUH?
And in MS&T there are Humans, dwarves, elves that come together for a common cause. Geez that sounds familiar. How many books have that combo. Again, I like Tad Williams, but I can find similarities in 90 percent of the fantasy I have every read. Put any two fantasy books side by side, and they will have similarities.

Yes yes. You dont see same similarities and obvious influense then I and you get this like joke. But my point was that it is obvious where GRRM get his influense to start of the series. He has praise MSaT and LotR but have nothin good to say to bulk of fantasy series.
And I only mean Melisandra not Thoros when I was speaking to that Red Priest. Meybe you catch it, or maybe not. Only for verify.

I don't know. I think Tyrion was more modelled on a cross between Tycho Brahe, the dwarf he employed as a jester, and his elk, which died after drunkenly falling down some stairs:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tycho_Brahe#T...s_elk_and_dwarf
It's worth noting that he was very rich, a genius, and he lost his nose in a duel. Brahe, not the elk.
His name even begins with 'Ty'.
