I think I'll post a theory about the comet in the TVIV thread about how it just a probe sent out by the Imperium. Soon it will send its data back to Holy Terra and then they can expect an invasion of Imperial Guard, dropped off by the ship the Litany of Litany's Litany. Yeah?

Urdnot Fire posted:Speaking of mounting direwolves, Grey Wind's giant CGI head is going to look lovely on Robb's body. Something that just occurred to me... Did we actually witness Roob die? I mean Yeah, we saw him stuck with a few quarrels and perhaps run through with a sword, but did anyone check his pulse? Not the first time a corpse was made to look like someone else. Missing face? Missing head? Not too late for the gurm to bring Roob back. Would be quite the thing for Cat too see, after she went and ripped her own face and throat apart.

Characters are all merely reflections of their authors, after all.  moments where rulers do insane things for really petty reasons.

But Robb has fans and as we all know GRRM loves pleasing his fans. He's been knocking everyone down just so he can bring them back for a massive orgy of cliche.

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:Ehhh, I've known one or two girls who've gone by Cat when they probably should have gone with Kate instead. It's less a "this sounds like that" than a "this has the same letters as that" diminutive. Some nicknames don't make a lot of sense, like Jack, Bill, or Hank. (Or Ned.) So have I, I guess I am trying to justify in my mind why they are mispronouncing her name  And by orgy of cliche is that a figurative statement or a literal orgy of cliche-zombies? There is a difference.

How many kids do his sisters have and do any resemble a miniature goblin-Santa hybrid? Unless all those kids are prolific writers with a healthy BMI we might have to nurse these suspicions.

Oh she's on lock for sure. Don't you worry. She was also laughing her rear end off at GRRM on the making-of for the blu-ray of the show and said he sounded like a "real nerdlinger".

I like how 2000 pages of dickery and more pointless detail with a thimble-full of plot development is "less work" than just jumping ahead five years and pretending it's the start of a whole new saga, basically dividing the series into "generational eras" of sorts.

Watching the HBOGO Episode on preview and I've got to say, the scene where Tyrion disposes Janos Slynt and institutes Bronn as Commander of the Gold Cloaks is still pimp. E- As a straight man I shouldn't be this embarassed to see gratuitous scenes of people loving. Christ, is the complex plot not enough to prove this is adult? And the scene with Theon feeling up E2- Sahlador Saan (or horwever you spell that) is loving awesome, as is Davos. Great casting and great lines. Thank loving christ. mind the walrus fucked around with this message at 01:19 on Apr 4, 2012 |

Jaquen H'ghar's actor is loving awful in the one scene I've seen him in. He's acting way too much and putting on too many "sexy bad boy" affects to take seriously. I know that's kind-of the point, but say something for subtlety's sake. Also it is kind of nice that the turd-basket of AFFC has been out so long-- Lena Headly is already putting in touches of Cersei's myopia and megalomania.

Oh aces you get to see Melisandre's tits. The goon who said they were saggy is loving high. Even with professional make-up and CGI airbrushing those are still tits men can, will, and likely have died for. And it's "plot relevant" since you get to see the shadow-baby being conceived beyond the shadow-of-a-doubt (hah, I'm not funny).
