Also it's really stressed by several different characters that Tyrion is basically mini-Tywin and that's probably one of the reasons Tywin hates him so much. If anything Cersei and Jamie are the secret Targaryens what with all the twincest.

And that they would be the only pregnancy that makes chronological sense. Didn't their mother stay at the Rock when Tywin was in court? After the bedding shenanigans.

quote:

Normally the home team is the Staten Island Yankees... but for one night only, they are changing their name to the Staten Island Direwolves, and will be wearing special jerseys. The visitors, normally the Hudson Valley Renegades, will be clad in gold and red jerseys emblazoned with the Lion of Lannister. So it will be Winterfell v. Casterly Rock once more.

The first 2500 attendees that night will get free baseball caps with the Direwolf logo (above). Also, we will be having a special fund-raising lottery on behalf of the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary, and the winners will take home the actual Stark and Lannister game jerseys worn by the players.

Glad the book is coming along well.

That cross-promotion makes sense, since the Staten Island Yankees are also absolute fuckers.

Those scenes where The Hound murders guys and treats Sansa like garbage sure sound sexy.

Elio called the Alayne preview chapter 'controversial' because Sansa flirts with Harry and nowhere is Sandor even mentioned

Then in the TV show Sansa is raped by Ramsay Bolton

There is supposedly a "controversial" Sansa chapter that was removed from ADWD - I don't think it's the one we saw.

Sandor is acting out of his own insecurities when he's being a dick to Sansa. I mean, obviously he's a borderline pedophile and he's also infatuated with her so it's all kinda creepy but he is also protective of her and despite him mockingly styling her a 'stupid bird' he actually opens up to her and gives her some solid advice. I don't really think that GRRM is surprised at people finding Sandor to be sexy & dangerous given that he purposefully wrote him that way and has Sansa get turned on thinking about him in the books, his comment about 'poor old Sam' sounds somewhat mocking and tongue-in-cheek to me, though he did write 'fat pink mast' so who knows.

Oh, I believe this will happen as well. It will be an extremely uplifting moment, carefully designed to make the audience collectively pump their fists and go gently caress Yeah, and then Ramsay will stab Bran and the wolfs will turn on the dragons because they have secretly been working for Roose.

The best way to say gently caress you to the show for finishing first is the make it up as you go along in equal amounts as D&D do.

Planning things out is for people who can finish things.

Nymeria who??

I wonder if they'll go into Jon and Arya's warging at all next year on the show. Jon's may or may not save his life and now that they've actually blinded Arya I would hope they go down the warging into a cat road.

I don't think Nymeria's army will show up at all on TV, though I'm more than sure she'll be important in the books when poo poo goes down.

Like I can't even remember if they had any characters even allude to the pack of wolves on the show at all. I have the faintest of maybe made up memory that somebody might? have way early on, but probs not. Would have had to have been S2 or 3.

Which is weird because I know how it ends. It ends with him slumped over on a couch in a puddle of his own feces. An ancient slice of pizza hanging from his agape mouth as his lifeless eyes stare blankly at a paused scene of Maisie Williams on his 20" Zenith TV.

Someone on the tumblr did a loving pages-long essay trying to :goonsay: deconstruct the importance :goonsay: of "fat pink mast" as to Sam's mindset or some poo poo about his role in the Night's Watch. I wish I'd saved the link because it was basically the epitome of terrible reading into poo poo.

Are there still people who hardcore whiteknight for Grrm? I remember they used to be all over the place, but you can even criticize him at Westeros nowadays, as long as you don't get into personal insult territory.
