The only way I would accept Jon coming back to life is him getting seriously but not mortally wounded and recovering. No more shadow ex vaginas, please.

(loving magic, how does it work?)

Oh you poor soul, the vagina shadow demons are just beginning. Also, I'm p sure since they resurrected EVERY OTHER loving CHARCTER with a R'hllor priest loving a corpse or whatever (how did they bring them back to life?) and since Melissandre is literally right there and wants him alive, they are going to resurrect Jon. Gurm hasn't had the balls to permanently kill a character off since ASOS.

The red priests bring people back by macking on their corpses. Not quite as bad as sex, but necrophiliac nonetheless.

There are several dreams (I flagged them all on my Kindle but am too lazy to cite) in which Jon is foreshadowed as spending some time on ice (literally) in the Wall. The Prologue is also pretty clear foreshadowing about how wargs get to chill out with their spirit animals after death.

I bet a lemoncake that Jon spends a chunk of TWIW frozen and having wolf dreams. I can only hope that the wolf is beaming in Competent Management 101 during that time.

Yeah. Jon's decision to march out his forces into wight-infested lands was suicidal. After losing all of those ships he should have just written off the wildlings that were trapped beyond the wall. Having to face more wights from the top of the wall would have been better than sending his forces out to try and resue these noncombatants where they'd get sourrounded by wights and get slaughtered as well.

And his decision to completely break the Watch neutrality my marching on Ramsey was also really stupid. I can see why he got offed; he couldn't be reasoned with. Of course his death will no doubt lead to a war between the wyldlings and the remaining watchmen, so the situation at the wall is pretty much hosed either way.

That was a dude, and a degenerate drunk, not the big titty she-pope of the fire god. She's going to gently caress Jon's corpse, complete with a vivid description of giving his cold, limp phallus a handy and "breathing fire" into it. Jon is the one to bring down the Wall.

FYI Thoros and Beric can do way cooler poo poo than Mel.

She can do vagina ninjas and set a bird on fire and sucks at flame visions.

Thoros is good at flame visions, resurrects dead fucks like a mad poo poo, and sets fire to all poo poo.

And he makes waterlogged Stark zombies.

And when my homeboy B. Don fought with the hound he just touched he sword and it burst into flame.

Mel ain't got poo poo on that.

The comments on that Gawker link to the SNL skit are making me think that 95% of the world has no reading comprehension. Individual quotes from the comments:

quote:

  • The only time I've had a problem with the sex in Game Of Thrones was when Stanis banged the red priestess last week - because Stanis in the books is essentially portrayed as being grossed out by sex. He's some weird asexual stoic and it went against character.
  • It happens in the books, you just don't see it happen...How else do you think shadow babby is made?
  • I interpreted shadow baby as sex magic, rather than magic sex. I agree that Stanis seems like an ultra-prude.
  • I'm not convinced shadow baby was the result of her having sex with a human.
  • I truly don't recall getting the impression that he'd actually succumbed to her charms. [scuttles off to re-read...]
  • I don't think shadow baby is the result of sex but it's heavily implied that Stannis and Red Priestess are having an affair and his wife is looking the other way or in the dark about it.
  • Magic obviously... We need to have sex to make a shadow baby? When this happened in the books not once did I think about how she got knocked up with a magic shadow baby.

Okay, so I got home from lab today and found a box on my doorstep with a copy of A Storm of Swords and a note:



So whoever is reading this thread and gave this to me, thank you. I needed a new copy of ASoS as my old one is pretty much unreadable.

On the other hand, I'm a little scared that one of you knows my exact address. :stare:
I'm guessing it was someone in the bad thread IRC channel since that's the only place I really told anyone that today was my 21st birthday (woohoo, I can drink alcohol now... jk it's Utah, all our alcohol sucks).

Jon didn't feel the fourth stab so there could have hopefully been more stabs in addition to the fourth.

I always saw the stabbing scene as being like the one in Full Metal Jacket where everyone smacks Pyle with the pillowcases with soap in them... in that the last guy just digs a hole prison yard style. I'm thinking he's gonna get left out in the cold to follow his in his uncle's footsteps and become an Über-Other (I don't remember what the consensus is here about Benjen > Coldhands) or maybe he could just be dead. That could be good.

I love that little gal, would like her to remain, but come on get the story moving"

Shae's character made some sense to me in the books, where she was a whore playing at being a class-hopper but ultimately falling back on what she knew to help secure her station. In the show she's acting like she forgot that if it weren't for a chance encounter with a nobleman she wouldn't have any of the poo poo she does, and that she's got to play her cards close to the chest.

I'm still counting down the days to the Red Wedding. By that point half the viewers will be gone from the lack of any real resolution, and the others will be insane at just how little they have left to cheer onwards.

I really wish this series had a protagonist or anyone else I came to know so I gave a poo poo what happens. If you're going the route of all the nobles are horrible, medieval society was horrible at least give me common people to care about and less sex scenes where I feel the author is masturbating as he writes. People may feel differently but I really don't think the books are well written enough to do away with all written convention, the story and the world were enough in the first 3, maybe 4, books but now without those horrible fantasy tropes like a character to care about or an overarching plot structure leading to a plot resolution I find it hard to care. Maybe if I was getting a Crime and Punishment type journey through these people's minds and how the events effected them I wouldn't complain but the reason most authors don't kill off characters all over the shop is that once you go so far you've got nothing left to care about apart from the story, which apparently stopped a while back.

To be honest I hope this isn't the case simply because it would be so unnecessary. It would actually be realistic to have Benjen simply disappear in the woods and never be found. Bringing him back would serve no purpose.

I seem to remember people saying that Bloodraven had said something about Coldhands having been around for a long time, and some people interpreted that as like 100 years or something. I think I also remember someone saying that there would be no reason for him to cover his face if he were Benjen. (Which I disagree with since I think it makes sense that he might not want his nephew to see him as some kind of weird zombie.)

Personally, I believe the best evidence is that Benjen is awesome and Coldhands is awesome, so therefore, Coldhands must be Benjen. I believe this is inarguable.
