Time to call it a night.
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.

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.

It could be a miscarriage, it could be menstruation, it could be food poisoning (likeliest culprit, she drank from a rank stream and ate unidentified berries) or it could also be dysentery ('the bloody flux' from meereen is described as just a run of the mill outbreak of dysentery).

There is however very little evidence that supports the claim that it signifies that Dany is no longer barren.
Interesting you say this when the evidence for her being barren is "a crazy vengeful witch told her so". How long before brown watergate was it that she started loving daario?

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.

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.

From Dany's prophecies at the house of the undying we know that at some point she is supposed to return to Vaes Dothrak and unite all the khalasars under her leadership, this also suggests to me that 'the stallion who will mount the world' is also Drogon.

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

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.

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.

drat it must really speak to you. I read it and it was ok, but it isn't a repeat-read for me.

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.
