I read the books twice. I will never get those hours slogging through Toms chapters back and he was entirely irrelevant to the plot.
It was like a fever dream that could have been written off as a mass hallucination of the hobbits after Merry and Pippin share some weed they stole from Gandalf.
Me reading all of Bran's chapters in ASOIAF. On rereads I literally just skip his chapters it's so liberating. I just pretend he died when Jamie pushed him out of the tower and the story plays put exactly the same. (Also I haven't watched the show yet no spoilers pls)
When you watch the show, stop after season 5 and pretend it was cancelled. You will be much happier in life this way. And skip the commentary halfway through season 5 as well...
