Bought Word of Ice and Fire and reading the Targaryens lineage was so goddamn confusing, the whole book was just worded so terribly sometimes. I really want the jerkoffs that wrote it to know I hate their writing but they will probably just block me on Twitter.

Groovelord Neato posted:why do people look like this on purpose. When I was in college, I visited a friend - she was in a Coven, and the head of that little coven was a 40 year old man who looked JUST LIKE THAT ( dressed more like a poo poo tier goth though ) . anyway, he was banging all of the "witches" in his "coven" doing some kind of sex magic nonsense. At the time I was disgusted , but now I'm just sort of impressed. Not sure what the point of that story was, but there you go.

Klungar posted:Please. He's going to raise chickens and open a successful chain of chicken coated in the crumbs of brown bread and fried in the fat of a wild boar, with smashed root vegetables topped with large pats of aurochs butter and gravy, more crunchy brown bread steaming hot out of the ovens, a 44 oz flagon of Dornish red wine, and fresh tart lemon cakes for dessert. It'll be served in a wooden bucket and serve a family of four for 20 gold dragons. You'll want to eat every last loving piece of finger lickin' goodness! I actually heard that in Roy Dotrice's voice. Bravo, wildcarder, bravo.

emanresu tnuocca posted:If it is a prophecy I'm rather convinced that Drogo == Drogon who indeed returns at the end of the chapter. Another possible reading is that Drogo is more of a metaphor to Dany's status as a leader of a khalasar. I like the reading where the prophecy, if it was real, can't be fulfilled because she misinterpreted it as spiteful ramblings and killed Drogo. The conditions were a bunch of seemingly impossible things plus getting pregnant again, which is why readers thought she was barren in the first place.

For a second I thought you were suggesting that the soul of her baby moved into Drogo, which she then suffocated.

I'm not going to be watching the show, but I will probably catch recaps to see how the train wreck proceeds. There are only so many ways to subtly imply that GRRM is a sex offender so I have little else to post.

Well, I mean, if the show goes ahead and confirms it this season, which I believe they intend to, then it's entirely possible that GRRM may do something like that in the books to spite them.

I like this dirty old man and his love of pizza and deep enthusiasm for sports and his weird adobe house in the desert. I hope he never finishes this abominable series and I got all I needed out of it circa 2006 at the age of 16 and am happy to have read the first four and am content to leave it there. I hope he makes many nerds mad forever. He brought new life to a genre that was dead as hell and frankly not deserving of it. His best book was And it's a good enough for me to read at least once a year which is really the only honor I could ever give to a novel or an author.

Arbite posted:It was cute to watch the spoiler free thread grow despondant and just stop. The last page having Gurm give the finger was especially delicious. It's basically the minimum amount of possible discussion though. There's no book (obviously), there's not a lot of leaked filming out there (other than obvious stuff like "Jon isn't dead"), and the season is about material that is pretty much completely new. And it doesn't come out for another 10 weeks.

I have no issue with the tomatoes (even though I prefer with out) but the lack of any kind of spice is triggering me. rear end in a top hat may as well just eat a spoonful of garlic, take a bite of avocado, then sprinkle salt and pepper in his gaping maw.
