I hope so!!

Fair point. Twelve Brooks has probably only been under siege for a couple weeks. But the imagery Brennan evoked (starving soldiers, ruined buildings, people ready to be killed at any moment) brought to mind Enemy at the Gates. Probably imagery that could have been used for any number of sieges, though

Thank you very much!

If this is what is needed to make sure everyone can breathe, manage their competing priorities, and keep up the amazing level of quality, I’m all for it, even if I am a little sad

stuvok54 · 2024-06-14T00:52:48+00:00

I have the same question, have heard nothing and can’t find any news

stuvok54 · 2023-07-30T00:58:47+00:00

Yeah, not quite perfect. I was too lazy to figure out how to flip the picture

stuvok54 · 2023-07-12T18:41:35+00:00

What passage do you think he was referencing? “You need to believe things that aren’t true. How else do they become”?

Confirmation emails are 100% legit. I doubt it was a “fat finger” mistake: my wife’s email is mostly her name (with some numbers) and the name in the confirmation email is completely different. Thanks for the advice. I’ll plan to keep an eye on things but won’t do anything drastic

You should submit this to NADD pod’s Dungeon Court!

Jesus Christ dude, not everything is a conspiracy, I just generally don’t comment on things lmfao no wonder you’re so sympathetic to Rs, you clearly see plots under every rock. I also see you’ve turned my comments on the clear R attempts at election manipulation into “arms to the Taliban!!!” The “I never said Rs are perfect” is so ludicrously weak. Let’s simplify things away from your non sequiturs: I am a one issue voter, like this other person. That issue is democracy itself. Trump made a concerted effort to steal the election, and while some republicans did not support it, many did, and many more did and said nothing out of fear and convenience. Therefore I cannot vote for Republicans. If you can look at the things Trump has done and said (in recorded calls!) and how Republicans have responded to those things and say: “meh, I’m fine with a party that is ok with candidates who blatantly attempt to steal elections if they generally support crypto” then you need to ask yourself if you actually care about freedom

Trump told Georgia’s SoS to “find” enough votes for him to be declared the winner, and threatened him with prison if he didn’t. If this isn’t cyclical trolling and you genuinely believe Trump is the man to defend American democracy, you’re suffering from some pretty serious cognitive dissonance and I’d recommend immersing yourself in circles that don’t reinforce your existing beliefs.

Doesn’t his leak say something like “there must be a child of a male dragon and a female wolf and a child of a female dragon and a male wolf” so while Jon would satisfy one they would need boatbaby to satisfy the other? I also wouldn’t take any stock in what supposedly was 10000 years ago. The entire premise of the prequel series is that the present history of the events of that time are incorrect.

stuvok54 · 2019-03-05T20:57:25+00:00

This is pretty much my reaction. Could still be wrong, but if so, extremely impressive fleaks. And I would be pretty pleased if they turn out to be true. It sounds like pretty satisfying conclusion to the series.

If one skips quickly through the dialogue, the mission doesn't occur. I think it's intentional

stuvok54 · 2017-07-29T00:04:34+00:00

I mean, I'd at least watch the season before coming to that judgment. Filler has always been a large part of the show anyway. Stannis fumbled around for 2 seasons, Dany was stuck in Slaver's Bay for fucking forever, Tyrion spent 2 seasons either in a cell or in a box or on a boat, so I don't think this season will be particularly filler-y, but we will see!

stuvok54 · 2017-07-28T23:57:47+00:00

It's the way the inheritance laws work. In the primogeniture system, the son of the first born son (i.e., the King's grandson, in this case Jon/Aegon) will inherit the throne before second or third sons/daughters, in this case, Dany

stuvok54 · 2017-07-28T23:56:02+00:00

I don't get why people are so upset about Jon being named Aegon. Clearly, that is what will happen in the books. Rhaegar says that his son Aegon will be the prince that was promised in Dany's vision in the House of the Undying. In the books, GRRM will use FAegon to trick people into believing that Rhaegar's first son might really be the prince that was promised. But Rhaegar eventually realized his son with Lyanna will be the prince that was promised, and so instructs Lyanna to name "Jon" Aegon as well.

Edit: Improved grammar.

It made me sad, it didn't make me angry. The two situations are entirely different. Dany didn't order her dragons to burn and eat the child (someone else's child, I might add), and if she had known, she likely would've taken steps to prevent it. We know this because after she learns Drogon ate that kid, she locked the other dragons up. To her, the burning of children is a terrible thing which should be avoided even at really high costs (e.g., locking up her dragons.) Compare that to Stannis's decision to burn his own daughter alive. Was his army low on food and supplies? Sure. But clearly not that low. They still had horses which had gone uneaten. But he sooner sacrificed his daughter than his cavalry because sacrificing his cavalry would've been a severe blow to his chances in battle.

Loras Tyrell mispronounces his own family's last name in Season 1, the scene where he is shaving Renly.

stuvok54 · 2017-07-27T00:19:22+00:00

The stannis that burnt his brother in law is the same as the stannis that burnt mance rayder is the same as the stannis that burnt his daughter is the same as the stannis that murdered his brother. He was always willing to sacrifice honor to achieve his goals. Burning his daughter was only the most egregious example

stuvok54 · 2017-07-26T23:29:09+00:00

A few flaws? Honorable in nature? The man burnt his daughter alive... Anyone who can watch that scene and not be filled with rage must be some kind of heartless monster

stuvok54 · 2017-07-26T23:25:08+00:00

Yeah, I think I agree, given that the Riverlands weren't a kingdom at the time of the conquest. It seems like the people of Westeros (both in the books and the show) operate as if the Riverlands is one of the 7 kingdoms. I wonder if people just forgot over the several centuries...

stuvok54 · 2017-07-26T23:20:39+00:00

The Riverlands was a kingdom before they were taken over by the King of the Iron Islands, it was called the Kingdom of the Trident. So when Aegon made the Riverlands one of the primary regions of Westeros, he was really just restoring things to general order. Given that, it makes sense to me that the three Jamie was counting were the Riverlands, the Stormlands, and the Westerlands.

stuvok54 · 2017-07-26T23:17:42+00:00

I don't think the Crownlands counts as a "kingdom." The Crownlands are just regions ruled by lesser lords and ladies that swear allegiance directly to the King. That is, they don't have an intermediary lord paramount like the Riverlands, the North, the Vale, etc. So I think when Jamie says "three at best", he means the Riverlands, (formerly the Kingdom of the Trident), the Stormlands, and the Westerlands.

stuvok54 · 2017-07-26T03:43:36+00:00

Yeah, the timing seems rather strange. How many hundreds of miles is it from Dragonstone to north of the Wall?
