There are dozens of key moments in the history of "song and fire song" that, if they went the other way, could put characters on many different paths. What if Rob Stark sticked to his initial wedding plans? What if Bran listened to his mother and did not go climbing? What if Ned Stark took the time to hear a night watch deserter who claimed that white pedestrians were a real deal? All of these are hypothetics that could have drastically changed Game of Thrones, but a huge change that author George RR Martin really thought he had time to jump in the middle of the key moment of his epic story.

In the midst of all the fraud, death and dragons, Martin played with the idea to give his characters a breath between "Storm of Swords" and "Holiday for Crows", the third and fourth novel in Martin Game of Thrones Seriesby jumping forward five years in the timeline. At the moment, Obernin Martel died, Jonon Snow was now Lord's night watch commander, Yorah, he was expelled from Daniers, Petir Baelish killed Lisa Arin, and Aria Stark made his way to Bravos to learn the ways of impersonal men. It is very much to leave for half a decade, but the judgment behind it all made sense, and it also potentially makes things a little more complicated.

Talking to Gismodo For his short battle with time, George Rn Martin supported his five -year idea for the gap, after realizing that during his very active story where the heroes died and lived villains, some of the characters who were private for all did not get older. "So, you'll finish a book and you have a huge amount of events-but they happened in a short timeframe, and the eight-year-old is for another eight years."

Here Martin played with the idea of ​​jumping on time, allowing Stark's children's likes, Jonon Snow and Daniers to grow up and be at the right age for even stricter events that were before them. The problem was that as they grow up, other adult characters remained shaking their thumbs (or Littfingers) to get back into action. Five years outside he could have worked for Aria, for example, who headed for Bravos for just 12 years, allowing Her to become a deadly killing machine until she is 17 years old. Meanwhile, Cersey, according to GrM, would go through six different hands, all of which would come with their own parts of the back -in -law, which would have to refer to retrospectives. It simply made things difficult than they were to be and we would have adapted books just boring in places.

Of course there are arguments to make a jump in some areas, but if it is transferred to the show, we may meet the same question that presented ourselves "House of the Dragon" when the show reworks some of their key characters. Some, if not all children with strict, at least three seasons - will be fully processed, making a tricky transition at a crucial moment in the story. The likes of Robb Stark (Richard Madden), Theon Greyoyjoy (Alfie Allen) and Jon Snow (Kit Harrington) May well have stayed as they are, but the likes of Arya (Maisie Williams), Sansa (Sophie Turner) and Brian Hempstead Wright) Would've all needed to be replaced by actors Five Years Older, and Viewers Having Got Accustomed to Characters They have been watching for some time now.

Speaking of Jonon, it would also have been even longer on the Wallid, with the Lord Commander -in -law and seems to have left anything that really doesn't have to be. It will also make his possible betrayal from other members of the night watch for a long time. For now, we only have to be grateful for Martin to stick to the plan and simply give young people in "Song of Ice and Fire" some of the most difficult childhoods in literature, which ended up becoming one of the The best television shows of the last decade.
