Well poo poo. It's been a while since I've been in this thread and.... wow, nothing has changed. Anyway, have some Gurm fanart:  So if FYAD is Dany does that make LF Jon Snow since he gets stabbed for saying he wants to assassinate the president of the United States?

Dead Man Posting posted:Maybe if we all did a lot of narcotics, alcohol consumption, and induce temporary insanity we can understand Huh. It just struck me how Dany might still be interesting if she stopped having her own chapters and became this bizarre, incompetant, heart-of-gold ice queen seen through everyone else's eyes.

Joramun posted:It's not a hard and fast rule either way. Sometimes the opposite is true and an off-screen death really means dead, e.g. (Sopranos spoiler) Adriana on The Sopranos. It'd be best just not to generalize. I maintain that she is living in a nice house in the woods, I suppose GRRM still kills main characters to these people too, they haven't experienced the fake-outs we've had in Feast and Dance to make us bitter.

Joramun posted:This is also why I give the Davos one in AFFC a pass, it was rather neat how that one was resolved in ADWD. Does anybody know if there is an official term in literary theory (or TV Tropes for all I care) for this sort of retcon that's planned in advance and so is not really a retcon, like the Bran/Rickon/Davos "deaths"? "plot twist" ? The fake out deaths that bug me the most are the loving zombies, though. At this point it's pretty much cannon that it doesn't matter who dies or how on screen or how million loving percent dead they are, it's still a good bet that they'll wonder up in a book or two and lynch you.

mind the walrus posted:Y'know, I'm sure this is a tired joke but honestly that's all she ever does. Aside from barking occasional orders about where and how she'll being doing her particular brand of nothing, she has literally never done anything other than nothing relative to every character. For gently caress's sake Rickon an Tommen have done more under their own power. Well, she hasn't looked backward. As a result, she has not been lost. Azure_Horizon posted:Aside from the sexposition flaws, the acting is a cut above most TV shows on right now and the scope is impressive for the budget. It doesn't compare to Spartacus or Mad Men in quality, but it's close. You have a little something something dribbling down your chin. Smells a little like pizza and unwashed belly flab.
