Jeffrey posted:That sort of invalidates his reasons for warring against Renly if he wasn't also openly warring with Robert. Robert didn't inherit the title, he led a rebellion against the other dude. Renly and Stannis are fighting because they're in Robert's line of succession if you ignore the incestuous shits he calls kids.

It would be completely within the horrible wheelhouse of Gurm to go back in time, steal Patrick Stewart from the visionary direction of David Lynch, rob us of ST:TNG and give him to the director who has a permanent parent company lobbyist for more on screen poonani.

The whole legitimacy of that claim was based on some handwavy logic about baratheons being an offshoot of targs, seems in character for Stannis being the one to take that seriously. Balon wouldn't have let that fly if Victarion conquered Westeros, Stannis seems just as  if not more.

If any old englishman should be in Game of Thrones, it should be David Attenborough. As the narrator of all sex scenes.

PittTheElder posted:Well it's kind of like the War of the Roses, in that it's two noble houses involved in a battle that earlier in the books looked like it would decide who would be King at the end. And also we have a claimant descended from a previous monarch living across the sea who nobody is really paying attention to. The most discerning difference is that the war of the roses had an ending and a song of ice and fire never will

Jeffrey posted:That sort of invalidates his reasons for warring against Renly if he wasn't also openly warring with Robert. It could work since Robert declared the rebellion and was the conqueror; it kind of takes the older brother thing out of it until Robert passes away. It complicates the story but would totally be worth it for Patrick Stewart as Stannis (plus they've done deviations from the books that are at least as big, and it's not like show watchers know what the hell is going on anyway). kcroy posted:You will never meet Howland Reed. ever.

The first few weeks were pretty rough, and if you go in there you should maybe turn off sigs because the fyad/fyadlite tradition of colossal, ugly signatures migrated to GBS as well. It's not as serious anymore, but it's still just as unfunny as ever.

So I read the Dangerous women anthology edited by GRRM and some Gardner guy. Sanderson har one of the better stories, which says it all. Also, citing Gardner Dozois: "“Here you’ll find no hapless victims who stand by whimpering in dread while the male hero fights the monster or clashes swords with the villain ... And if you want to tie these women to the railroad tracks, you’ll find you have a real fight on your hands.” Which is kinda interesting, since one story literally ends with a women being raped and strangled. Oh, and some incest as well. Author: Lawrence Block Oh, and one Wild Card writer, Melinda Snodgrass, have a story line basically being about loving a furry. Also one Wild Card novel by Caroline Spector, featuring guess what... And that is not all of the stories. And of course GRRMs part is featuring the Targaryens with his unique blend of incest and not moving his loving storyline a single step forward.

He had a big rear end beard at that point too but that's gone as well. Mostly I'm sad because he doesn't look as handsome and cool though.

The long hair made him seem frivolous, but the shorter cut now makes him seem serious for once. Like I could believe earlier Jaime was a badass who could beat you in a fight, but this one now makes you think he won't gently caress around and you'll just be dead before you know what happened.

Are they really going to have Petyr Baelish's old man actor make out with Sansa Stark's young lady actress next year? I hope that they imply it as they cut away or something. It's HBO though, so I'm sure they'll go one step further and have him bang her in the Snow Winterfell or something.

I can imagine it now. "Aiden has refused to be in this scene, it's morally wrong accoring to that plebeian!" "Is that so George? What should we do?" "Body double." *George drops his pantaloons, revealing his fat pink mast gesticulating at a revolted Sophie Turner.
