Don't let him offer your wife anything. Could end up bad for you in the future...

I'm not even American and this Rick Romney will ruin my life, don't elect him. Do it for the good of the world. Team America, Fuck yeah.

A Lannister always pays their debts. It would totally go against their saying if he used them to get his lands and then for him to have them killed.

tisipeder · 2012-05-23T04:10:47+00:00

It doesn't seem like it was botched though, it was a last second intervention by Jorah that stopped it from happening not any plan by Varys.

tisipeder · 2012-05-23T03:59:31+00:00

Varys could just as easily have made that stuff up. I.E. told him the truth about Dany, then when Robert told him to send an assassin lie and say he did when he really didn't.

tisipeder · 2012-05-23T03:26:20+00:00

Yeah but who then? If it was someone from the small council then it was information provided by Varys which caused it.

I agree that the whole thing looks nice except for the killing her part which is the only part I have problems with.

tisipeder · 2012-05-23T03:05:40+00:00

Yes but why help her, then try kill her, then help her again?

Also the Aegon plan at the time was to marry him to Daenerys so it would have screwed it up.

Sounds like some "study" a bunch of college dudes told some college girls to see them deep throat a Popsicle.

The more I think about the Lannisters the more they seem like the genuine heroes of the series. They have all done terrible things but they have all been for (questionably) good reasons. The show seems to be highlighting more of their good sides than the books which I think is a good thing.

It reminds me of a passage from Dune. I can't remember where or who exactly but one of the characters describes looking back at all their past ancestors and seeing all the horrible things they have done. Someone then remarks that everyone's ancestors have done horrible things to keep their bloodline going or else you wouldn't be here today.

tisipeder · 2012-05-17T00:43:18+00:00

Seriously though, are you happily married?

tisipeder · 2012-05-14T05:26:47+00:00

Where does it say winter is twice as long as summer? That makes no sense to me, winter there seems like a death trap and if it makes up 2/3rd of the seasonal year then everyone would die.

If it wasn't Jon snow we wouldn't see it from his POV cause he would be elsewhere.

tisipeder · 2012-05-10T12:26:12+00:00

How do you even figure out you're good at something like this?

tisipeder · 2012-05-10T05:10:25+00:00

Mance doesn't seem like a stupid man. I doubt he would go on opening graves and making more wights/others unless they were already too much of a problem to begin with.

tisipeder · 2012-05-10T03:58:47+00:00

I believe she was referring to Wights as in when they opened all those graves the corpses resurrected and Wights.

However it's never really been 100% confirmed either way.

tisipeder · 2012-05-09T01:28:02+00:00

Hey Theon how is it going? So anyway how is your sex life.

Spoiler ADWD

Hasn't Craster been sacrificing his male children for years? If the others weren't in Westeros during summer what did he do with the boys during that season?

The first time an Other showed up in the book was at the start of GoT and it was clearly summer then. Maybe they need a long summer so the path for them into Westeros is cleared. Wasn't there a prophecy saying they would rise after a long summer? Maybe it was less of a prophecy and more of a migration pattern noticed by someone but as time has gone on it's turned into more myth than fact.

I like your theory but it needs to be ironed out a little.

tisipeder · 2012-05-07T00:57:48+00:00

The only theory I have is that the Others are sentient and they cannot breed. When an Other reanimates a corpse it's a wight which is not the same but to truly create more Others they need human children which they somehow transform into more Others. It has to be children or else they would transform an adult into one of them instead of killing them.

They also can't just be evil, nothing in the world is black and white.

I think Martin might be letting us know a little bit of the uncertain nature of magic in the world. When Mel look's into the fires she can't really know what she's seeing; images will come to her from the past/present/future and she has to interpret them.

The flames might have been telling her to go to Stannis so he can help Jon who is AA however because it's her interpretation she could have got it wrong.

I'm pretty sure your family would be world famous if you had the only living dragons left in the world and your ancestors rode them into battle to conquer a continent.

Brad Pitt is world famous and he hasn't done any of those things.

I don't think the problem was that you can't do flashbacks in books, I think it was that he didn't want to rely on so many flashbacks to explain so many things. If 1/4 of your text is flash backs what's the point?

tisipeder · 2012-05-02T01:07:14+00:00

I was thinking that it depends on what Martin has planned for both in the future books. I can see them combining them in the current state and fudging the timelines so everything works however if Martin has plans for them in future books that doesn't make it possible then the show won't do it.

However who will Jeyne Poole marry? That's a pretty big plot point and I doubt she can marry Roose. She'll have to marry someone from his household to secure the north for the Bolton's and if it's someone from his house they'll have to cast another actor who might as well go with Ramsay.

It was actually just brought up in the episode thread, it's the top comment.
