I know he's been taking his sweet time, but Martin has claimed that the show has given him motivation toactually finishand even at an extremely lazy speed 4 years is plenty of time to finish 2 books.

Book 3 pt 2 is s4 so since book 4 & 5 are going to be comboed its not unlikely they will span 3 more seasons. Thats 7 seasons of tv based on what is known. If grrm lives long enough to finish his books then thats at least another 3 seasons of tv. GOT is going to be around a long time

Dunno why varys seems such a mystery. He wants targs in power and thats why hes working to destabilize the throne. When he said he hates magic and sorcery, he is fucking lying. so why he wants dragons and targs in westeros again is not too important. I do believe he is not lying when he says hes concerned for the realm, though that may differ from the POV of many.

Never gonna happen. First of all book 6 and 7 wil never be done in 4 years. We will be lucky to get book 6 in that time period, secondly these books are fucking huge and cant be contained in ten 50 minute episodes . For book 3 its still isnt emough time. So no.
He hates magic and sorcery because the fedex wizard (weird port spell imo) cut off his twig and berries for a magic spell....that would make me hate more then just magic...

Varys is castrated by a wizard in both book and show. Only in the show does he capture him and whatnot.
Also. Heres a great thread relating Varys in general, as well as the epilogue in B5 and Aegon:

It could just means he hates the red god and their priests. Its obvious thats the ceremony he lost his balls to.

He got the twig too? Ahh shit, not the twig... Vary's has quite a pleasant demeanor considering he's twig'less.
It's like no-one read the ADWD epilogue or are all Tywin fanboys who just can't accept that not everyone, including Varys, feels the most famous child murderer in Westeros was the best guy for the top job.

Varys's plans for a "Targaryen" reconquest seemingly originate from before Joffrey was even born. You don't play that long of game "just in case."

I read it, especially the part where he says he is killing Kevan because he would have restored order, and he wants Cersei in power to ensure chaos and death reign in the realm until his fake ass "Aegon" gets over the ocean. Like everything else in this story, good and bad are subjective and meaningless. But Varys made his intentions very plain, he pays lip service to "the realm" while his actions and maneuvering tears it apart so he can install his choice of ruler. He is no different than Tywin or anyone else, he just serves a different purpose.
