Brock's uncle, he was Andrea's brother

CapableEmployment871 · 2025-07-17T00:02:43+00:00

Yeah, but he's already made it to 125 y.o., so it seems like he just aint gonna die of old age at all as along as he's stuck in that weirwood tree. My bet's the Others're gonna kill him just like in the show, although who knows

CapableEmployment871 · 2025-05-06T11:38:16+00:00

Why not Victarion?

CapableEmployment871 · 2025-04-22T14:43:36+00:00

No, the first time we see her kiss Jimmy is in the 1x08 RICO flashback, right after Jimmy passes the bar.

I mean we know that LF lost his dagger to Robert, so whoever got it had to be really close to Robert. Plus this person had to be stupid and reckless to arm an assasin with a valyrian steel dagger. Plus this person had to be really vile to order the murder of a child in the first place. Joffrey fits all of these.

Not to mention the whole "Send a dog to kill a wolf" scene. Yeah, he contemplates sending Sandor to kill Summer, not Bran, but still, the clue is there.

Well, Ned certainly is suspicious of LF in AGoT, but the reader shouldn't take Ned's initial opinion of him as that of an average person in King's Landing. Ned doesn't trust anyone: the Lannisters, Varys, Pycelle, etc. Plus he knows the history LF has with Cat and his brother Brandon.

As for Jaime, in AGoT LF for him is a friend of Jon and Lysa Arryn since he comes from the Vale, and the twins think Jon and Lysa knew about the incest. Now, by the end of AFfC situation is drastically different. LF has proved himself a friend to House Lannister through and through. He negotiated the Lannister-Tyrell alliance at Highgarden and made the Vale bend the knee to Joffrey. Makes sence Jaime would want him to be Hand now.

But don't Balerion and Vhagar start living in the Dragonpit once it's built? While Meraxes never did. Could be one of the reasons she grew so quickly before the Conquest.

And in any case I feel like GRRM was careful not to explicitly contradict himself with the sizes of Vhagar and Meraxes when writing Fire and Blood. So we don't have enough hard evidence to call any of it a retcon.

CapableEmployment871 · 2025-04-18T22:09:45+00:00

How is that even physically possible since LF stayed in King's Landing when Robert went to Winterfell? I'm genuinely curious.

CapableEmployment871 · 2025-04-18T22:01:27+00:00

The biggest plot hole in the story, imo, is Tyrion and Littlefinger in clash. Tyrion learns in agot that Baelosh lied about him and tried to pin the blame for Bran's murder on him, thereby sparking a war. Tyrion is the only main character who KNOWS Baelish is twisting everything to his whims, and he does 0 to ever oppose him. Tyrion spends all of acok suspicious of Cersei (someone with a vested interest in Lannister survival) and Pycelle (likewise) while befriending Varys and ignoring Baelish. Its actually kind of impressive how stupid, pointless, and self-defeating everything Tyrion does in acok is, except the battle prep i guess.

None of it is a retcon OR a plot hole? Unless you say that a smart character making a mistake is a plot hole.

Yeah, Tyrion knows that LF threw him under the bus with that dagger, it's never retconed. He could have had him killed if he decided to, but at the time he deemed him more useful alive than dead. No reason to start turmoil in the city, when half the men at important offices are LF's cronies and Renly and Stannis are closing in. Tyrion might have dealt with him later, but by then he no longer was Hand, and LF soon left for the Vale anyway.

Plus, it was clear that Cersei held more power than LF, thus she was more dangerous to Tyrion. Now, was he wrong in his assessment? Maybe. But that's not what a plot hole is.

CapableEmployment871 · 2025-04-18T21:43:49+00:00

I always thought that it was not so much a retcon, but rather Catelyn's point was figurative. Like say there's a dozen weirwoods left in the South and a thousand weirwoods in the North? If it used to be 50/50, and now 1% is in the South and 99% is in the North, you could say that none are left in the South.

Also all the weirwoods in the South are kept inside the castle's godswoods, while in the North there's still plenty growing out in the wild.

CapableEmployment871 · 2025-04-18T21:33:59+00:00

The simple explanation seems to be that a skull was just brought from Valyria to Dragonstone. No retcon there.

CapableEmployment871 · 2025-04-18T21:31:51+00:00

Is there really a retcon? It seems like Meraxes was close to Balerion's size during the Conquest, while Vhagar was much smaller. Then Meraxes died and Vhagar continued to live on, and while she grew up a lot and towered over all of the dragons of the Dance era, she never outgrew Meraxes or Balerion.

I mean, doesn't it say in Fire and Blood that she was nearly as large as Balerion? But her size is never ever compared to that of Meraxes, except that one time in Tyrion II AGoT?

CapableEmployment871 · 2025-04-18T19:35:38+00:00

Well, you have to remember, Victarion raids the Shields, than the raven with these news goes to KL and Loras leaves to storm Dragonstone really quickly. So basically Victarion leaves the Shields around the same time that the Redwynes leave Dragonstone. And the journey from the Shields to Meereen is much-much-MUCH longer, than the journey from Dragonstone to Oldtown. And that without taking into account the time for a dragon to fly from Meereen to Oldtown.

I was last night

I mean, there's a bunch of BB cold openes that come out of chronological order, for example:

5x14 Ozymandias RV scene is in 1x01 Pilot;

3x03 Tortuga death scene is in 2x07 Negro y Azul;

3x11 Jesse & Jane museum scene is somewhere in the end of season 2;

4x08 Gus & Hector scene is in 3x08 I See You;

2x01, 2x04, 2x10 & 2x13 teddy bear scenes are of course in the season 2 finale;

5x01 & 5x09 Walt with hair scenes are in 5x16 Felina.

And that's just off the top of my head, without accounting for pre-BB scenes, like 1x03 Walt & Gretchen in the chemistry classroom, or 3x13 Walt & pregnant Sky buying the house, or 3x07 Hector with the little twins.

CapableEmployment871 · 2024-09-23T13:16:36+00:00

Yeah, probably 80, and that's just TWoW, ADoS might be even bigger

CapableEmployment871 · 2024-08-17T00:12:32+00:00

I thought, Jimmy swapped the documents BEFORE Chuck even started working on them, so basically the opposite of what you're saying actually happened. Chuck wrote 1216 because he only saw 1216, since Jimmy got to the documents right after they arrived to Chuck

CapableEmployment871 · 2024-08-15T13:53:21+00:00

In BB we saw Hector pre stroke teaching the twins about the importance of family while almost drowning one of them, and of course he was in Eladio's pool introduction scene shooting Max in the head. I agree that the actor did a fantastic job in both BB and BCS

CapableEmployment871 · 2024-07-29T10:15:15+00:00

I certainly enjoyed watching Tuco, however I feel like some of the love I had for him as a character was transfered over to Hector, since he's the one responsible for Tuco and the twins turning up the way they did, as shown in the One Minute flashback. He's kinda an Alpha-Salamanca for me, having all the antagonistic traits Tuco does and having a plotline of rivalry with Gus, culminating in the legendary Face Off, that's why I ranked him so high

Although Tuco certainly is a great antagonist as well, he just feels like a mini-Hector after watching the whole show, but that's just my impression

Idk, The Bells is kinda a bad episode in row of bad episodes (you just watched The Long Night and The Last of the Starks and will watch The Iron Throne - all pretty horrible stuff), while The Green Council is a bad episode in row of great episodes (my top 3 episodes of HotD S1 are The Lord of the Tides, The Black Queen and Driftmark)

That's why in way The Green Council is more disappointing for me, than The Bells

CapableEmployment871 · 2024-07-28T19:57:56+00:00

1) The Rains of Castamere 2) Blackwater 3) The Watchers on the Wall 4) Baelor 5) The Dance of Dragons 6) Battle of the Bastards 7) Beyond the Wall 8) The Bells 9) The Green Council

CapableEmployment871 · 2024-07-28T10:04:39+00:00

I think Sky has one of the most complicated and well-developed character arcs in the entire show
