>I think George has all the big battles already written
I don't believe he's written shit. The fact in the editing process that George pushed for all of the meandering chapters to be kept in and somehow all of the endings we put off. It's nonsensical, and the fact that the sampled chapters of TWOW are basically the same winding travelogues meaning the writing is on the wall IMO.
>but is it better than Jaime going to Dorne to kidnap Myrcella back?
I think all of it sucks and the reason they sent Jaime off to Dorne was because of how little the character does and the fact that the actors are still being paid no matter what.
>You could reduce Brienne to just the good scenes since you're not really obligated to adapt whole ass chapters.
The issue is they decided very early on to cut Lady Stoneheart, that's why they made up the Talisa character instead for Robb. So they could kill all three characters off and cut off the meandering plots lines. To me it makes sense because Lady Stoneheart isn't in the end game, and basically a non character because how underdeveloped she is.
>Cersei, Aegon and Connington would carry it HARD.
Add a whole extra cast of characters, and again we know they're fucked. All of this points to how badly plotted out the entire series is on Georges end.
