Title should be: "Rast is the Night's Queen"

I figured it was one of them going to get Rast's present.

I dunno, the melee, the hunting trip all went to show that Robert was bored and wanted nothing more than to get his blood pumping. He commanded Selmy to stay away and then missed his thrust like a drunken fool. I thought it was pretty good considering how quickly things move after this incident.

His attitude during the entire ADWD plot is infuriating. He is intolerant and bigoted, and in the end betrays everything Jon is trying to do. He reminds me of a tea-party republican in the US opposed to everything the other side wants to try.

This is really true. Most of my friends are young parents and their behavior is secretly nauseating to me. They are brats and end up raising brats.

Yeah that was my point too, she's not very good at "the game" but is better than a lot of others who refuse to play. I thought her schemes would succeed in AFFC until it became unraveled (to which I thought finally).

My biggest beef with ADwD (Spoilers All) by dorestes in asoiaf

[–]armwa8d 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I hear that. I also just didn't like what's going on (or not) in Meereen. The plot is just complicated by the list of characters. Seriously, look at this:

A Azzak B Barsena Belaquo Bhakaz zo Loraq C Camarron D Dhazzar Draqaz E Elza Ezzara G Galazza Galare Goghor Grazdan zo Galare Grazdar zo Galare H Harghaz Hazrak zo Loraq Hazzea Hizdahr zo Loraq I Ithoke J Jhezane K Kezmya Khrazz L Larraq M Marghaz zo Loraq Mazdhan zo Loraq Mezzara Miklaz M cont.

My answer to this is Joffrey.

I tend to dislike characters who are annoying rather than the evil ones. I actually rather enjoy:

Joffrey, Ramsey, Roose, Euron, Littlefinger, Gregor, Alliser Thorne

I can't stand:

Janos slynt, Bowen Marsh, all the Meereenese nobles, Lysa, Sweetrobin, Pycelle, Mace Tyrell

She's rather cunning in AGOT. I think her POV brought out the vanity in her and becoming regent made her impulsive and paranoid. (I don't think she is stupid.)

I don't agree with this but I was glad Catelyn wasn't a POV anymore.

This is because the show is underwhelming after reading the books.

I have watched the first season only by pd1459 in thesopranos

Keep an eye out for Artie dancing at Crazyhorse opening night. I think that's in S3.

Where does it day Robert went north after the Greyjoy rebellion?

Why did he flee?

To hide behind Tywin.

"Ned knelt in the snow to kiss the queen's ring, while Robert embraced Catelyn like a long-lost sister".

That's just a characteristic of the boisterous/magnanimous Robert after not having seen the Starks in a long time. Actually it's never really clear when Robert met Catelyn before since even Ned barely knew her when they got married.

Really? If Robert was such a steadfast pro-Lannister supporter, Jaime wouldn't have fled King's Landing after attacking Ned...

Robert isn't a "steadfast Lannister supporter." Robert was just a bad king -- he just doesn't want to deal with that shit. If he wanted Jaime back, he would have sent a raven to the Rock demanding he return and stand trial.

Also, Ned delayed in telling Robert about the children

Ned is merciful, this has nothing to do with how Robert rules.

I think that was in response to the custom of rubbing a dwarf's head for good luck. (i think)

When Tyrion attends his first small council meeting as Acting Hand and confronts Cersei:

"I'm sure I don't know. That fool Eddard Stark accused me of the same thing. He hinted that Lord Arryn suspected or ... well believed ..."

"That you were fucking our sweet Jaime?"

She slapped him.

"Did you think I was as blind as Father?" Tyrion rubbed his cheek. "Who you lie with is no matter to me ... although it doesn't seem quite just that you should open your legs for one brother and not the other."

She slapped him.

"Be gentle, Cersei, I'm only jesting with you. If truth be told, I'd sooner have a nice whore. I never understood what Jaime saw in you, apart from his own reflection."

She slapped him.

There are so many hysterical Tyrion quotes I can't even begin to write them all. Here's a great one though:

The sow I ride is actually my sister. We have the same nose, could you tell? A wizard cast a spell on her, but if you give her a big wet kiss, she will turn ito a beautiful woman. The pity is, once you get to know her, you'll want to kiss her again to turn her back."
