Midnight City posted:So Lyanna didn't want to get married to Robert because she thought he might not be faithful after they got married, but she runs away with a guy she knows is being unfaithful to his wife. Yah, but there's not much in the way of logic in most relationship decisions, at least not for me. I don't see this as stretching plausibility at all. Your experiences may differ.  Edit VVVV He could have married her though cause House Targaryan are fantasy Mormons. Spun Dog fucked around with this message at 00:25 on May 8, 2014 |

Doing a reread and I'm on Clash. Just realized something that's been hiding in plain sight. Patchface is Yakov Smirnov. Thanks for listening.

A Typical Goon posted:The last time the comet is mentioned is when Bran is warging into Summer at the end of Clash and he sees the 'dragon in the sky breathing fire' which disappears when he growls at it. People actually took that line to be about a literal dragon? Here's the actual quote- Bran Warging into Summer posted:"The smoke and ash clouded his eyes, and in the sky he saw a great winged snake whose roar was a river of flame. He bared his teeth, but then the snake was gone." Winged snake is pretty specific and I've never heard a comet roar.

emanresu tnuocca posted:I've actually been digging up on this for like the past hour or so, it's almost certainly not the comet as the comet should have been long gone by then, it appears a the end of AGOT when Robb marches out of Winterfell with his bannermen, basically around the time Ned dies, and the last time it is noted as being present in the sky is in the same chapter Tyrion hears Robb's terms via Cleos Frey, which would be still sometime before Theon took Winterfell and even longer before Ramsay sacked the castle, so I think the comet is probably long gone by then. There's a theory that I've read that says basically Bran/Summer is seeing some sort of prophecy in the flames like Melissandre and Thoros do. If you're more into thinking it's a literal dragon, Osha says something like " We made enough noise to wake a dragon" after Hodor busts open the door to the crypt. Nothing conclusive either way as far as I can tell, but it's fun to speculate.

A Typical Goon posted:A comet burning across the skin casting red light could clearly look like a snake in the sky surrounded by fire, especially as the POV is Summer who wouldn't understand the concept of a comet. It's pretty clearly a subtle reference to the comet fading as opposed to a throw-away single line from forever ago that implies there is a random dragon just chilling around the North And the roar?

A Typical Goon posted:It's a coincidence. Summer doesn't make the comet disappears it just does. Just like it never meant anything even though literally all the characters think it represents them. I'm not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work, there, Lou. A winged snake really looks nothing like a comet, but suspiciously like a dragon. Maybe a non-winged snake could resemble one, but in my mind, that's still a stretch. Roar implies a loud sound. Roar was a river of flame conjures up images a dragon breathing fire. Not saying it's an actual dragon, but it sure could be a vision of one.

DangerZoneDelux posted:I don't have much to contribute but you are cracking me up since you don't understand you misread the quote you posted. GRRM didn't write anything about "hearing" a comet roar. He said the roar was a river of flame. The other dudes are saying the streak from the comet is making an effect like a dragon breathing fire. gently caress man OK, what about the wings? Interpret it however you want, it's just a story, but I read that sentence as Bran/Summer seeing a dragon.

A Typical Goon posted:Ya the last JonCon chapter has him reveal he he has greyscale, pine for Rhaegar a bit and plan an attack on Storms end. Yeah, they were much better on the second read for me too. I think the reason I didn't like them the first time was because I wanted to know what was going on with the characters from the previous books instead of being introduced to Quentyn, his crew, the sellswords, etc. Krinkle posted:Why does Dany have to fear the perfumed seneshal i.e. stinky stward? Because Moqorro is on it? Why is a shadowbinder from ashai'i warning her from the ashai'i religious leaders approaching her? That could also mean her advisor who actually smells funny. I forget the guys name, but that might be too literal. Edit Reznak mo Reznak Spun Dog fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Sep 18, 2015 |

Mr. Neutron posted:Why does everyone hate book-Dorne? I though it was pretty great in Feast, all that backstory about the sack of King´s Landing, Elia´s children murders and the resulting long kept secret hatred of Tywin by the Princes, the marriage pact with Viserys, the Fire and Blood conversation....dunno I really enjoyed it. I liked it on re-read. Sort of. Initially, it just pissed me off because I was hoping to know what happened to the characters that I'd been following for the first few books instead of BlahBlah-mo-Something and the Gouty Pedo.
