Watching recent GURRRM interview

You can't see the obvious goodness in the crazed killer Biter?

He actually said that Walter White was more evil than any of his characters, including Ramsay. Georgie boy is a fucking idiot.

Proof?

You don't survive this kind of wound, unless you're Jon SnowJesus.

Jesus Christ how can a woman be so ugly?

So he admits he's writing daytime soap opera tier garbage.

They're not as much mary sues in the books.
Jon is dead. Everything in the show that's happening to Jon is happening to Stannis in the books.
Ramsey Bolton is a moronic fool.
Sansa never got raped.
None of the Dorne shit happened
Daenerys is a miserable failure in Mereen. Also Xaro Xhan Daxos is still alive. The show has been off-book since Season 2.
Stannis's family is alive and well at Castle Black.
The Tyrells are still alive.

This really solidifies why GURRM is a hack. There's no actual plot.
To think that people call him the "American Tolkien" is reprehensible.
At least in the Lord of the Rings, you knew what everything was building up to: the destruction of the One Ring. And even if you thought that wasn't going to happen, it was at least converging on Frodo destroying the ring or taking it for himself or something else.
Was there filler in LotR? Sure. One could argue that the stuff with Tom Bombadil serves no larger purpose. But Tolkien wanted to give a sense of depth and mystery to the world, and people still argue about what exactly Bombadil is.
But GoT isn't like that. There's not main mission, no quest, no goal.
It's like after you've finished playing a game and you go play the side-quests. Sure, they're interesting on their own, but don't compare to an overarching narrative that connects everything.
GoT would have been infinitely better if after Ned Stark's death, his kids all converge back into the North and sought vengeance.
