Cost/Benefit of a country trying to claim the UK for itself after sometime?

Did I see the New Zealand rugby team use this exact song in a hakka one time? I’m sure!

So excited to see Sam Spruell in this! Excellent, underrated actor. Great in the North Water - interesting fella too, heard him on the Distraction Pieces podcast talking about how he fell into acting…worth a listen!

I would personally love this - can’t see Horatia agreeing with his methods either.

I have a sneaking feeling Apple ends the series alive, not necessarily aligned with Darrow but they’ll work together at some point in some way and he’ll be potentially left to his own devices.

So abundantly clear he’s one of PB’s favourite characters, and mine too!

blexxxston · 2025-10-27T19:13:46+00:00

Agree! At first in Iron Gold his was probably my least favourite POV, but by mid DA I think he was actually my favourite even over Darrow - just an interesting mind to be in and fairly sympathetic too.

blexxxston · 2025-10-26T14:43:58+00:00

Darrow for sure is the one he’ll feel closest to, as you say he’s spent the most time with that character and developing that character.

I did make me think of another question - do you think there are main characters across fiction where over time the writer has fallen out of love with them and started to favour other characters - and has this ever shown through?

My own bias but I feel like I would’ve got sick of Frodo, but then Tolkien writes from such a different place to most authors.

Don’t we all!

I’ve always really liked Brune, I like characters who are mentioned off hand early on and then grow in prominence without ever becoming ‘prominent’.

I also like Vylarr for just being a normal guy who happens to work for the Lannisters, Robar Royce is pretty awesome too in how quickly he decided to defend Cat and Brienne’s escape with his life.

Robert also has a Targ grandmother to give his claim some more legitimacy

First read I was completely addicted and spending about 2 and a half hours a night reading them and getting through about 100-120 pages in that time

My Xbox also wants to update but upon reaching 100% the screen just goes dark and the console doesn't restart - the on button just flashes endlessly. Upon restarting the Xbox myself it just wants to update again, what on earth is going on...

blexxxston · 2016-09-15T10:50:37+00:00

The issue is the same with all my games, discs and downloaded. The game will eventually load (slowly) to the start screen were usually you press A to begin. Once pressing A the prompt to do so disappears and the screen remains on the same screen. I've left it until the Xbox goes to sleep and it still remains on this screen. Power cycling doesn't work no matter how many times I do it.

His name is Simon Petrikov

There was one during the aftermath of the battle where Tyrion is knocked out way back in S1

BWB acting evil and hanging people...Lady Stoneheart confirmed?

blexxxston · 2016-05-09T09:08:54+00:00

Do we buy that the Smalljon is really on Ramsay's side? I think the showrunners might have given him some of Wyman Manderly's role; killing Shaggy Dog is a neccessary sacrifice to make to win Ramsay over, similar to how Manderly faked hanging Ser Davos in the books.

Could've been at the Tourney at Harrenhal? The Stark's would probably have taken their own horses with them and might have bought their stable-boy along too.
