It's possible, but only if you count Renly because he's a big whiny baby

The whole Gilly side-plot was painful to read through and it's agonizing to watch. Even Jon is making sense in that scene. I was excited to see 0.5 seconds of Podrick failing at life though.

I should also note I wasn't going by house sigils. Yeah, Lions = Lannister, but the Lions suck and have a history of sucking. Also if that were the case, there wouldn't be any team for the Starks since there's no wolf logo teams in the NFL.

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.

We've seen all of two minutes of him, I think he'll be fine.

Also, I was talking to a friend and found out he was reading the books. He had a really high opinion of them, so I asked which book he was on. "Oh, I'm a third of the way through book 3." I told him to enjoy the book and to tell me his thoughts when he finished it. He also told me how awesome he thought Robb is. :laugh:

Man, I knew I wasn't crazy when I heard them make the Predator noise. That was a good episode, though, the Greyjoy scenes owned. Theon is somehow even more of a doofus on the show than he was in the books.

That map is pretty cool and all, but could you replace all the football nonsense with teams and men from a real sport, so the intellectuals amongst us can properly appreciate your work?

He talks about his trip to Europe and can't help mentioning NFL. It's a sad truth that football is much bigger passion to him than writing. :smith: If he can't end the series, I hope he'll at least tell HBO how it's supposed to end.

Funny, but it seems to me that one reason for his procrastination might be that he doesn't want to kill any characters. I'm getting that feeling from all the resurrections and ridiculous luck Dany has had.

It would be an excellent start to TWOW if Jon and Stannis simply were dead and Victarion returned with the dragons, possibly allied with Dany. It's even plausible - she has a history with savage rapists and murderers after all.

Let characters die like they would in real world, you fucker.

LOLing like crazy that Saints are Dorne and the Lannisters are the most hated people on earth.

The supposedly unstoppable Gregor Clegane is clearly Peyton Manning. He was totally pwned in front of the whole world by the Red Viper (Breesus Christ) and then he died later on, and now he's inexplicably back (as a Denver Bronclol).

Peyton Manning being a fart what wears a helmet aside, seriously, what the gently caress is up with TVIV?

They're spending insane amounts of time talking about the mystery of Cersei's blackhaired baby and maternal lineage and all this poo poo.

The books are six god drat dollars. The answers are available freely in one of the spoiler threads.

What's the point of writing a 30-page fanfiction about Jon Snow being Cersei's son to sit back and watch if you're proven right? Suppose you are. Suppose that in 2 seasons you find out you're right. You'll have to buy archives, dig up your old post, repost it, and say "I was right!" And maybe one, if that, person will say "oh, yeah, ok, good for you."

YOU'RE SPECULATING PAST EVENTS.

It's already written! You're literally watching a history channel program and saying "Gee whiz, this Hitler fella seems bad. I wonder what becomes of him?"

gently caress you, read a goddamn book you shits! :argh:

I agree, it's loving ridiculous.

If I watched the first season of, say, The Wire, and there were books out there that the rest of the series would be based on, were (generally) well loved by the SA community and I knew the series was very faithful to the source material, they'd be on my kindle in a second.

I can understand if you were just watching it casually, but these guys in the non-spoiler TVIV thread are obssessed with the show. It's completely loving baffling, and the only reason I can come up is 'because books'.

The other funny thing about the TVIV thread is that it's so strict with bans, if someone does speculate correctly, they'll probably be assumed to be posting spoilers so will get banned. Therefore any speculation that doesn't end in a ban is essentially proven wrong.

I've already been steering them away from doing this for the more prescient speculators if there's no reason to think they really know something. No one's been banned yet! (As far as I know.) Not even bigmcgaffney!
