If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

The master of spiders, how exciting! Good to see that Cyanide are at least big fans of the series.

Can't wait for Varys to use his magic powers to cast spells such as spiderball, wall of spiders, spider's charisma and detect spiders (lawful).

I hope Varys has unlocked the shapeshifter ability in the series and has gained master level in it. It would be cool to see him transform into corrupted spider and web some darkspawn. :v:

So hey, I just reread Dance again, nobody actually believes that this is the real Aegon, right? It's obvious that Varys and Illyrio just found a Blackfyre bastard of a bastard who looked like the kid and gave him to Jon Connington to raise? I mean they emphasize the lineage of Golden Company so much that I can't see it being anything else.

I bet he's actually Maelys the Monstrous's twin brother who survived the war of Ninepenny Kings.
I expect this to be revealed in yet another Dragon roast moment.

Anyone else like the fact that the dragons are actually developing distinct personalities too? I love how the two just started loving around in Mereen as soon as they were released with no intention of leaving until their mommy comes and gets them. :allears:

My wild insane "SECRET TARG EVERYWHERE" speculation is that he could be Maelys' nephew or grandson. Maelys the Monstrous was the last male Blackfire but that doesn't mean he didn't have any surviving sisters or daughters. It would explain why that maegi cut his balls for a Blood Magic ritual since the blood of kings is more potent.

Also note that Varys told Tyrion that he was born a slave in Lys in CoK. Illyrio told Tyrion in ADwD that the love of his life was a Lysene pillowhouse worker, Serra. Aegon Targaryen is could be Illyrio's son and Varys' nephew.

Oh and I have no recollection of the first, I don't know, three quarters of clash of kings outside of shadow babby. So the show is going to be fresh for me.

I read the 1st 3 books again after finishing 4 & 5 and I was honestly taken aback by how swiftly the characters moved from one point to the next. I don't think I'll ever read the last 2 again.

Nah, HBO knows how the series is going to end, The Gurm told them.

In fact, it's probably be better for them if he died, since there's no way he'll finish the series before they catch up, and they're probably not allowed to act on his notes unless he's dead.

Maybe they'll order a hit if they get up to there.

I just can't wait until he finds out that Tyrion's big performance in the entirely of 2000 pages is to ride a loving pig whilst people throw coins at him. Yeah, that will really feel dignified no matter how many layers of irony and "the whole point is..." you throw on top of it.

As long as it ends with him no longer drinking then telling Penny she is a dumb bitch and joining the Second Sons, i don't loving care. Also i want a scene where you see the slaves eating some pig&dog meal.

Well the first season was pretty bland so of course.

I'm sure Tyrion pushing paper for episodes on end will have plenty of sexposition though.

Honestly the most entertaining thing about the show is watching TVIV have multiple meltdowns every day.
