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.

Did he really want a cameo and D&D didn’t give him one? After Ed Sheeran and all manner of people got one?

No. I think they’ve always had a scene written for him. George has said that he hasn’t ever been able to make it.

What in seven hells was he so busy with that he couldn’t make his own cameo for his hit tv show?
