Decades from now the kid will be able to tell people that her now-deceased parents were opera fans or conceived her in a fancy hotel in Vegas rather than explaining that she was named after a character on that dragon show nobody remembers very well that was a big deal on the TV back in the day.

Cornwind Evil posted:Jaime's biggest mistake ever, one that just baffles me in retrospect, was sitting on the throne after he killed Aerys. If he really was that mentally exhausted, he should have just collapsed and sat on the ground. I think his biggest mistake was never telling anybody the reason he killed Aerys even though there was a ton of physical evidence (piles of kaboomite under the city) supporting his story. Well, that and knocking up his sister three times. And telling Tyrion the truth about Tysha. And showboating around Riverrun. And talking poo poo to Vargo Hoat. Dude's made plenty of choice fuckups now that I think of it.

Tea Bone posted:I've always pronounced it 'you-ron', but I could be wrong in that. Arya sounds just like "Aria" though, which is a legit word and plausible name. With "Sansa" everybody's gonna know your daughter was named after a TV show, and not even after its awesome girl-power star, Kalyssie.

Majorian posted:Hahaha, I hadn't considered ol' Pullo in that role, but yeah, I can kind of see it. I would rather see someone like Mark Strong in the role, though - someone who can play "intelligent, but not terribly creative" well. Which is not to say that Ray Stevenson couldn't play that role, but Mark Strong is really good at that. Stupidity is Victarian's defining character trait, though (aside from muscles and the cool hat).

Is it even feasible to feed an army of thousands on the move just by hunting animals? Unless you're marching through a giant cattle farm, I wouldn't think there'd be sufficient animal density to support that many people. Then again, I know jack poo poo about hunting or feeding armies.

whatever7 posted:Do you guys think thematically the whole Arya training should be part of time skip like Bran. I have been thinking about this. If GRRM really intend to turn Arya into bad rear end assassin, she should go away for a good 3-5 years at lease for the training. I don't see the point of GRRM keep writing Arya level up quest. They are really not part of the ASOIAF story. All of AFFC and ADWD should be replaced with a 3-minute video montage of Arya punching a heavy bag and practicing her illusions, interspaced with shots of Dany feeding her dragons and rebuilding that ruined city, jon snow looking cold, and cersei walking into rakes. All to the tune of "You're the Best" from Karate Kid. BAM, ASoIaF improved 7,000%. I unironically believe this. The Little Kielbasa fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Apr 18, 2015 |

Max posted:It's very poor. He may have been selling the info, but if you buy it and tell him there's more where that came from if he continues to bring back good info from KL (which they want to go to war with, so that would be a good idea) he'd be the perfect person to do it since he runs trades through there anyway. Not really feeling this criticism. To paraphrase a post from the tv thread, if you went to the CIA in 2004 and said "Hey, I just smuggled bin Laden and a friend into the US, they said something about a kidnapping or something? Anyway, give me ten million and I'll tell you where I dropped him off" the answer ain't gonna be "great work, citizen, how about a hundred mil instead!" It's gonna be "fetch the waterboard."

Intel&Sebastian posted:I read an ew article recently where one of the D+D guys said Ramsay isn't known or famous in the shows world, much less known as a torturous poo poo. Hard to believe that Littlefinger didn't think to do some research on Ramsay before putting his most valuable asset in Ramsay's hands. Right before a big battle, no less. Then again his asinine dagger plot worked, so Littlefinger probably knows that he has plot armor.

Even if Roose kept his ironmen-and-northern-noble-flaying, woman-hunting, unable-to-not-act-like-a-psychopath-for-ten-minutes son's proclivities so well-hidden that even Littlefinger couldn't get any intelligence remotely, the finger himself was at Winterfell for days/weeks before the wedding. Hard to imagine him not figuring it out, but if D+D said so, I guess it's true for the show. Just like it's true that Jaime and Cersei had consensual intercourse on Joff's casket, or that the Sand Snakes are Of The Night.

Every battle scene in the show looks like Monty Python, that's just a consequence of having a TV budget. The best parts of Blackwater were the Cersei scenes inside.

Krinkle posted:e: Why was ramsay legitimized? Roose knows he's a kinslayer, he knows he killed his son. He's heard stories. Why would he ask for it? I think tywin gave it to him to give him grief. Roose is an ancient skinchanger/vampire being who will take over Ramsay's body/steal Ramsay's skin before he (Roose) dies. Roose is getting up there in years, so he isn't confident that a new child will grow up in time for the transition. Ram is his only choice if he wants to hop into a Bolton body that's an established heir.

counterfeitsaint posted:If they did a Roberts Rebellion movie, they would probably change Aerys into a pedophile and include several scenes of him masturbating to burning children, just so there's zero ambiguity when Jamie finally stabs him. They should film the real story: Jaime kills Aerys for kicks and to help daddy rape and pillage King's Landing more quickly. Years later, he makes up a story about being a poor, misunderstood hero to impress a lady who just gave him a boner.

The blot blog must be written by some insane American slavery apologist who watched Gone With the Wind 100 too many times. I think Shavepate poisoned the locusts because Dany passively let the slavemasters retake the city bit by bit. The only way to keep Mereen free was to kill Dany and blame it on the slavers while she still had enough political capital with the masses to use her death as a motivation for a real revolution.
