So what are the odds that Jon Snow is the bastard of Ned Stark's sister and Prince Targeryean and gets his own dragon when his cripple sibling uses his power to make it dump ol Khaleesi off his back at 5k feet

It's quite possible and is one of the most prevalent fan theories in the series. If anything else other than R&L=J comes out a bunch of people gonna be mad.

Ha, really? I thought I was clever for thinking that. Also so long as Danyrs gets wrecked I'll be happy. Such a loving wish fulfillment character by a broad who can't act and refuses to show titty anymore, it's high time to dump that bitch

I wish they hadn't gassed the old GRRM thread, it was brilliant. Really made me realize that GRRM is just a giant paedo troll who is more interested in being a swinging dick at comic conventions than finishing his magnum opus.

Dude probably bags an insane amount of "smells like day old deviled eggs" hairy-as-poo poo wiccan poon at conventions

Following the success of Straight Outta Compton, David Benioff and D. B. Weiss have confirmed that this season will be taking an unusual creative direction in order to examine "tough, urban themes relevant to today's youth" by following the Snows, a family living in council housing during the Thatcher years, and also that "we are totally sick of writing this poo poo."



Those two on vine/twitter/etc makes me think they're going to immediately rekindle "Absolutely Fabulous" with a sequel or soft reboot.

The book with the Red Wedding and Tyrion leaving to find Dany was first published when Bill Clinton was president.

Tyrion still hasn't met Dany in the books.

Tyrions arc is really lovely the second he gets out of Westeros and I'm glad the show seems to be glossing over it

Literally the only good part of those two books was the secondhand story about Bronn.

"He lanced the horse!"

I read that section, leaned back and went :smugdog: "Mah nigga."

Bronn is easily the most GiP of all characters, he just wants his benefits and a release from all this stupid bullshit with the occasional option for asymmetrical violence

edit: If they ended up giving him a dog and having it be his sole focus, we'd probably start a cult

Yes. Has it's ups and downs and as long as you don't cry about the fact that henchmen 3 in the books is wearing the wrong underwear in the tv series, it's pretty good. Just put your brain on hold when the series gets to Dorne.

I think Dorne wasn't that bad, it just dragged a bit because you can tell the writers wanted to show it because it foreshadows and sets up some things that are important to the whole issue at King's Landing but the directors had no idea how to convey it without really terrible exposition

As poo poo as Dorne was in the series it doesn't hold a candle to the awfulness that was Dorne in the books. Everything related to Dorne was just boring and lovely in the book, even Oberyn.

The fact they pretty much hit every plot point in book 4 and 5 and then some in the last season just shows how lovely and padded the last 2 books are

Also true. I'm just glad they ditched Tyrion's weird little emo arc after he left King's Landing where he hangs out with the midget lady

Yeah let's be real here, the Lannisters aren't winning any popularity contests anyway, might as well go Full Stalin. The alternative is to let those fucks keep the queen locked in a dungeon cell and keep humiliating the royal family. Gonna be interesting to see if they execute Sir Loras Tyrell as a display that they will absolutely execute Queen Margery if pushed.

Bronn gonna show up to help out Tommen since he is bros with both his Uncles, DMX will start playing and he will go straight up "The Raid" on the Sparrow boys until he comes out with Marge on his shoulder and holding the decapitated head of the High Sparrow himself

Rickon will be back eventually. And he is going to be a monster.

I just finished re-reading the 1st book and I noticed that all the Stark kids shared their wolves' personalities (or vice versa I guess).
Jon: Ghost was the outsider, and grew up quickest
Robb: Grey Wind was tactical. He would outflank the other wolves when they played.
Bran: Summer watches, observing the other wolves at play.
Arya: Nymeria was separated from the family and went feral.
Sansa: Lady sat there like an idiot and patiently waited for the dagger.

Rickon's wolf, Shaggy Dog, is a pitch black demon with crazy green eyes that bites people and scares the poo poo out of everyone. A very. Bad. Dog.

Rickon's gonna return and crush everyone's nuts.

Hopefully while DMX plays loudly

Kind of. The Vale is drat near impossible to assault because of geography, place is just chock full of choke points. The soldiers aren't anything special, but because everyone thats fought them have had to fight them on the Vale's terms, they've got a pretty impressive K:D

So what do the books say about Valyria? Is it some ancient lost Utopian city that is now a dragonscale leper colony?

It was a pretty High-Fantasy place, then some unspecified poo poo went down (possibly a meteor strike or volcanic event) and the Targ's were the only ones who made it out, because they are immune to fire and flew away on dragons. No it's just a "cursed land" and no one knows or cares why

Churchill was p cool but Digby Tatham-Water took out a nazi armored car with a loving umbrella


Guy was a loving lunatic

quote:


Digby then noticed the Padre pinned down by enemy fire while trying to cross the street to get to injured soldiers. Digby got to him and said "Don't worry about the bullets, I've got an umbrella". He then escorted the padre across the street under his umbrella. When he returned to the front line, one of his fellow officers said about his umbrella that "that thing won't do you any good", to which Digby replied "Oh my goodness Pat, but what if it rains?"[7] Digby was later injured by shrapnel, which also cut open the rear of his trousers but continued to fight until A Company had run out of ammunition. Despite the radios being unreliable as Digby had predicted and the bugle calls were used most in the battle, the message "out of ammo, God save The King" was radioed out before Digby was captured.[8]

Whoever plays Ser Davos is my favorite. That guy kills every scene.

He's really good, as are Little Finger, The Hound and Meemaw Tyrell, but you have to admit, if you're on the show and your character's lastname isn't Lannister, chances are you aren't a good actor.

Dany, Jon Snow and Brann being pretty huge offenders of literally just reading lines like an angry or confused child
