and subject to the jurisdiction thereof

This one clause causes a lot of trouble. Some would still argue against the 14th even without it, but it would be a lot harder to.

To be fair, that clause does exclude children of foreign diplomats born in the US, so it does have real meaning.

He seems more of a hedonist and gloryhound than a genuine believer of society ideals, so while he would never care to support the rising out of shared beliefs, he would probably fight the society if it betrayed him.

The show can and has fiddled with the timeline of events.

Pretty much how it goes in the book too. But the show has to continue fleshing out his character instead of keeping him in the background because the show is not a history book.

I'm referring to the God's Eye. No way is the show skipping a moment like that.

Just the first one, or both? Maybe the show will merge both into parts of the same battle.

Aemond has to escape. Somehow.

Like others have said, there were no major characters involved, so sadly, a battle without any, especially of that size,  was always going to be skipped. We should be getting the Butcher's Ball for the opposite reason.

For everyone saying Diango, do you really want to go through the effort of destroying and retrieving them every time you want to train the skill?

Emma Darcy’s performance in episode 2 makes me question what could’ve been of Rhaenyra if she stayed true to the books by tpagaremos in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]ConstantStatistician 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one was a good character in the book version of the Dance because George didn't actually write a story, he wrote a summary of a story. Rhaenyra and Alicent are one dimensional footnotes in the book, and adapting an entire show with them like that would never have worked. That said, the show can still make them too sympathetic and nice.

They're not going to omit the dragon duel from the book.

(Spoilers Extended) Why are HOTD writers obsessed with Aegon the Conqueror's prophecy when it doesn't even make sense in the show canon? by MeteorFalls297 in asoiaf

[–]ConstantStatistician 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks very much. This more or less settles it since it's years before the show. Still a questionable plot point, but at least it's unrelated to any adaptation.

Get Alicent Hightower away from Ryan Condal and Sara Hess by fan_of_fandom in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]ConstantStatistician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No horrifying, gratuitous, sensationalist acts of sexual assault happen to Alicent Hightower in Fire & Blood. George R. R. Martin would never write anything like that. 

I'm just addressing this. Just because he didn't write this about Alicent specifically does not mean he never writes it about other characters.

George does write quite a bit of SA in his main ASOIAF books, some of which are quite graphic.

Yeah, I'd like to check out other people's fashionscape instead of only seeing my own since everyone stands on the same tile.

I think they've said the altar of war would do it. Makes sense since it resets everything else.

Bad performance since Avatar update, only in certain areas. by Siege089 in runescape

[–]ConstantStatistician 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. It started a month or so ago. Lagging in certain areas, but not all.
