It lets a few characters project their feelings about what they think is about to happen....but I'm still saying: it's a comet. What possible actual impact could it have on the story that isn't mega-ridiculous?
Robb and a bunch of other Starks are launched into space using Melisandre's magic, then dig to the center of the comet and fill it with wildfire and then blow it up before it can impact Westeros and bring about a nuclear winter.

I don't mind if Syrio was an agent looking for promising talent, though it seems awfully coincidental that she meets up with another one so soon, but he'd just better not be alive.

The books said the comet was getting closer? I may have missed that.


It's so great watching the non-spoil threads debating who will win the iron throne in epic battles and political intrigue....aaaaaand after 5 books it's Tommen. And all he wants to do is play with some cats.

Nobody ever suspects Tommen. He sneaks up on you like that. Learned it by chasing kittens around the castle.

To be fair, he's probably been the best ruler the kingdoms have had so far in the books.

Tommen really does have it all for a while, decent advisors who just need his rubber stamp, cats to play with all day and the authority to do so, Margaery all up on his tiny weiner, crazy mom in jail.

In the Game of Thrones you either win or your die. Or just kind of mull around for a while doing nothing of importance. That works too.

I was one of those chumps last season. The HBO viewer's guide had enough hints in it for me to come up with the idea that Jon Snow was Rhaegar's son with Eddard's sister, and I thought I was the cleverest bastard for coming up with it. I was probated for my speculation, and was pretty bummed out because I figured I had been spoiled because of it.

I broke down and read all of the books during the break, and was pretty upset to find out that nothing ever really comes of Jon Snow's parentage. After finishing AFFC and ADWD, I felt empty inside, like I had been cheated of my time and money.

Then I started reading the Bad Thread, and everything made sense again. Now I look at the people in the TVIV No-Spoiler thread, and am filled with happiness and sorrow. Happiness, because I am no longer a part of that mess, and sorrow, because I read their speculation and anticipate their utter disappointment.

No, wait, sorrow is the wrong word--more like, joy.

The Rains of Castamere will be made up of the tears of the posters in the TVIV No-Spoiler thread.

Oh no, if GRRM fans can't handle a few new characters in a prologue just imagine what Malazan stuff would do to them.

GRRM hates us all. ADWD was him punishing us for having the audacity to want him to finish his lovely rape-fiction cookbooks.

That reminds me, which one of you did this:

quote:

1. Absolute Fucker 169 up, 4 down

A person who goes on vacations when he's several years late on a deadline then acts put upon when people call him out on it.

Also a person who lures people into his home with promises of lemony cakes only to serve them Wild Cards and miniature sex dolls.

Me: Some would say that GRRM is an absolute fucker.

You: I agree with them.

Me: Hey, me too!

You: OK, it is settled then.
