How Will the Game of Thrones TV Show Affect the Books? Greetings from the future! Welcome to “Postal Apocalypse,” io. Rob Bricken. This week I’ve got a lot of Defenders questions (from one curious reader), a lot more Game of Thrones questions (from many curious readers), and I explain why you should only be slightly worried about the Captain Marvel more right now.

Stephenson: I’ve been following the HBO version of Go. T since the beginning, and have been toying with reading the books, but I had a multi- part question I feel only you can answer. When Go. T concludes next year on HBO, do you think GRRM will incorporate any of the premises presented that have been shown on the small screen that he didn’t originally come up with, and do you think he will change anything he had already come up with because of what was already shown, as in “I thought that was a good idea, but having seen it played out, let’s go a different route.”It’s impossible to say. Sorry to defer the question, but George R.

R. Martin is still writing The Winds of Winter, and has A Dream of Spring left to go (if not more—I still believe he’s going to end up writing three more books all told before he’s done). What he has planned today may change tomorrow, or next year, or the year after that.

Or the year after that… or the year after that. You see where I’m going with this. At some point, GRRM, David Benioff, and D.

B. Weiss sat down to discuss the end of the story, both A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones. I sincerely doubt he told the showrunners everything he has planned, but there were definitely some story elements just too entrenched into the narrative for the show to skip, e. Hodor’s name. There may be a few others, but unless Weiss and Benioff ’fess up, we won’t know for sure until the books are out. That said, the show will end up being vastly, vastly different from the books.

Part of this is because the show has made its own changes to the narrative over its many years, which can’t help but affect the ending; part of it is because the series is ending in such a condensed timeframe (only this Sunday’s season finale and six more episodes to go!); and part of it is likely Benioff and Weiss’ respect for GRRM, and their desire not to trample on what he has in mind for the books’ ending. But mostly because the books have so many more elements at play than the TV series: the Fake Aegon, Lady Stoneheart, Victarion Greyjoy, Jeyne Poole (whom Ramsay Bolton marries and claims is Arya), and more. Maybe Martin has something planned that the show is doing that, after seeing it, he’ll change his mind about. But we can’t possibly know until he writes it. The Defense Rests. Jess D.: Dear Postman, I have some Defenders questions. A lot of Defenders questions.

Why is there the remains of a giant dragon underneath New York City? How did the monks of Kun- lun get over to North America to build a door that only the Iron Fist could open? If the Substance was so dangerous, why not leave the door locked permanently? Or better yet why not destroy it? Why didn’t the Hand just dig around the door?

There was a huge cavern down there. Couldn’t they have dug to any other area and gotten in? Why would removing the Substance destroy NYC?

Welcome to “Postal Apocalypse,” io9's admittedly sporadic mail column by me, editor Rob Bricken. This week I’ve got a lot of.

If the Hand wanted to get back to Kun- lun, like they said all the time, why did they only seem interested in getting to that underground place that we know wasn’t Kun- lun from Iron Fist? I can give you answers to all of these, as long as you don’t mind that The Defenders TV series in no way supports or confirms any of them. In ancient times giant dragons roamed the earth, and died like any other creature.

The monks tasked themselves with protecting the Substance left behind by these dragons to prevent evil people from getting ahold of it. They traveled by boats to North America, and then used their mystical powers both to push the bones deep, deep underground and to create a magic shield all the way around the cavern that now housed them, leaving a door as the only access point. The monks did this instead of destroying the Substance, because they could foresee a time when they were so desperate they might need the Substance themselves, and thus made the key the Iron Fist, who would always be a protector of K’un- Lun… until Danny Rand fucked it up. Oh, and then the mystical energies of these dragons subconsciously led humans to build cities on top of them. Although, the Hand clearly got to the Substance under Pompeii and Chernobyl, because they said they destroyed them… hmm… the dragon under New York City was the biggest dragon and had the most substance, which made it the one that most needed to be denied to the Hand, and is why New York City is a much, much more major city than Chernobyl or Pompeii. More dragon, more mystical energy, more Substance, more city.

And after so many millennia, the Substance became part of the essence of the Earth itself—mystically—and thus removing would effectively cause a cataclysm in the location it was housed. As for your last question, it’s because… uh… by sealing the area off, the Monks effectively made it part of K’un- Lun, even though it was thousands of miles from the actual mystical city.

So Sigourney Weaver and the rest were speaking metaphorically. Yeah. The Jon Con. W: I feel there hasn’t been enough discussion about the legitimate reveal that Jon is in fact the legitimate son of Rhaegar and the entire dynamic this imposes on Jon- Dany hook up believers. He is in the direct succession to the iron throne. I honestly cannot see how these two would work if this gets exposed to the whole world. Even if it is after she may or may not get pregnant with a mini incest royalty baby, I cannot visualize a way for the plot to just make this situation okay with Jon. I can realistically see Dany dying after all this simply because Jon will in fact always know nothing.

Dany cannot possible just stop her quest for total dominance of Westeros just because Jon gets revealed to be the true heir (at least let’s hope the show writers don’t take the easy way out). It’s not going to get exposed to the whole world.

When Jon finds out—if Jon finds out, he could probably fulfill whatever prophecy Rhaegar heard that made him seek out Lyanna Stark and marry her and throw all of Westeros into civil war without ever knowing—he’s not going to broadcast it. He’ll likely tell Dany, who also won’t tell anybody, for obvious reasons.
