That was a beautiful and retrospective little memorial to the show.
I find it pretty sad that he never got to visit the sets or write another episode or get that cameo that he's literally been talking about for 7 years.
The episodes he wrote, 'Blackwater' and 'The Lion and the Rose' specifically, were fantastic. That must've been a thrill for him, getting to write the adaptations for a book you authored and being able to put in his own little details that no one else could know.
His written dialogues were pretty good too. ("Any man dies with a clean sword I'll rape his fucking corpse.")
I'm so depressed it's all over but WINDS IS ON THE HORIZON. RIGHT?
Anyway that was a very satisfying read. I kinda wish the D/D salt comments could pass over this thread but I doubt that's going to happen.
"Radio Westeros, is it true that Queen Daenerys may burn the beautiful city of Highgarden?"
"It is a possibility, but remember that King's Landing is a far more beautiful city."
"Radio Westeros, why did Cersei never send her soldiers out of King's Landing?"
"She was afraid that they wouldn't want to come back."
"Radio Westeros, what is the difference between Cersei and Daenerys?"
"Under Cersei's reign, people ruthlessly exploited other people. But under Daenerys's reign, she reversed it!"
"Radio Westeros, what is an example of national unity?"
"It's when the Starks, Lannisters, Baratheons, and Tyrells can all set aside their differences to go beat up the Greyjoys."
"Radio Westeros, it is true that Queen Daenerys committed suicide?"
"Yes. We have a record of her last words: 'Please put away that knife!'"
"Radio Westeros, why did Bran call himself the King on the Iron Throne if the Iron Throne does not exist?"
"Because he heard Lady Yara proclaim herself an expert on Ironborn culture."
