This is the season they said they'd end with the Red Wedding right? I'm not getting all GOT and bothered for nothing right?

It's apparently supposed to be episode 9, like Ned losing his head and Blackwater.

Yeah, the season will end with Arya taking the flat side of an axe to the back of her head.

Which is another thing that proves GRRM doesn't understand real world physics or systems of measurement.

There's no way a giant dude on horseback is going to lightly tap a girl in the skull with a huge gently caress-off ax.

Clearly it was implied that Arya died, and was zombified shortly thereafter so she can age appropriately but be forever in the body of pre-pubescent.

Xander77: Apr 6, 2009; Fuck it then. For another pit sandwich and some 'tater salad, I'll post a few more.

I'm re-reading ADWD, and have come upon a question of utmost importance (or rather a minor detail that got me :spergin:

, I could never tell the difference)

Who exactly do the Dothraki fight if they don't have working knowledge of dealing with a foe in armor? Do they just fight amongst themselves / take slaves from peaceful people / limit their contact with actual Essos powers to threats from the Dothraki and bribes from said powers?

Edit - Nevermind that part actually, since I think that the Unsullied only really have shield and helms, as do the slave legions of Yunkai. But all the mercenary companies we see have "company armor" aplenty. And since having a company of sellswords on your side isn't an automatic victory, we have to assume that the people they're usually fighting with/against have armor as well. So what, half the continent has access to armor, while the other half neither uses it nor has contact with / is conquered by the other half?

I think it's more likely the armour widely used on Essos is very different from the Westerosi infatuation with heavy plate.

Shoehead: Sep 28, 2005; Wassup, Choom?

Boiled leather :v:

I think at some stage the secret Dornish mission notice that a lot of the company armor is rusty as hell and beaten up. I think someone mentions there is still blood on some?

# ? Mar 26, 2013 16:39

sunday at work: Apr 6, 2011; "Man is the animal that thinks something is wrong."

Not all armor is a full suit of plate. Even in Westeros only Knights would have full plate armor, most archers and foot would be lucky for a helm and some mail. Jorah does tell Dany that the Dothroki have no experience in and likely not the patience for siege warfare as practiced in Westeros and thus would likely be unable to take even the smallest castle.

When Barristan kills Khrazz in ADWD he notes that Khrazz (a pit fighter) is not used to fighting people in armor, but he is wearing his full Kingsguard plate at the time.

meet girls at the store: Nov 4, 2002

From this interview with GRRM:

quote:

As a published writer, he says, he �enjoyed a certain level of fame and perks� � perks being fans and girls. He met three girlfriends at conventions, and describes meeting his second wife, Parris McBride, in 1975, on his blog: �A bunch of us were having a party in the women�s sauna and she walked in.� It sounds pretty wild. Martin giggles � he has an infectious, high-pitched laugh � �Well��

McBride was a fan. Her first words to Martin were, �A Song for Lya made me cry.� But Martin was already engaged to another woman, Gale Burnick, whom he married a few months later. When they divorced in 1979, Martin got together with McBride, and two years later she moved to Santa Fe, where he had recently relocated to focus on writing novels. They married in February 2011 (�What can I say, I�m slow at writing, slow at other things�) in a ceremony in their living-room. The groom wore a black suit, no tie; the bride wore a medieval-inspired green tunic with billowing golden sleeves. They exchanged Celtic-style rings � Martin�s has a deep purple amethyst, which �apparently gives him some sort of superpower�, McBride wrote on her blog. �But we haven�t fully committed,� Martin says. �We haven�t merged our books or record collections.� They are both, he says, hoarders, and have another house down the road, nicknamed the warehouse. Two bedrooms are for Martin�s books; the third is for McBride�s Lord of the Rings figurines.

So GRRM's self-insert character is... Rhaegar Targaryn. :crossarms:

Rereading ASoS for the first time, and if you know it's coming, the Red Wedding is hugely foreshadowed, but if you don't know it's coming you'd never pick up on it.

I hope the showrunners didn't tip their hands, because I've been looking forward to TVIV's tears for a long time.
