Nah, I think the many-faced god is out. Jaqen H'qar (sp?) talked about the red god in the show so I assume they combined them.

I am not sure if we will see Asshai as it is far from the current events, but I am sure we will see tons of Dragon glass from it in the near future.

Nothing at all of the kaleeesssi storyline has fuckall to do with current events either, but there you are.

Got really drunk one summer night and ad-libbed the ending to all the storylines while finishing off a pack of cigarettes with another fan. Managed to get the Iron Bank to be a conduit of dragonglass swords from Asshai or something.

Really the most fun I've had regarding this horrifying rape series since 2002.

That is highly debatable as Danny's story is part of the main plot.

I think not. The biggest trope subversion of all - the chosen one never bothers to go to westeros and just chills in meereen for a long time, eventually conquering the summer isles.

Will we ever learn about who the Mountain is? Why does he remain loyal all this time? Is he a incest baby of some mountain god? Or just evil guy's evil henchman stereotype?

God this sounds amazing. I need to find a local neckbeard, buy a few boxes of wine and do this.

He's actually an Archmaester from the Citadel and the most articulate character in the books but he wears his chain under his armor so you never notice.

Raging dope fiend. If he can't keep in good with a lord who has a maester to keep him in gear he'd have to go cold turkey.

Yesterday a friend asked if the books really get as bad as he's heard. I said that if I told him how stupid Bran's story line gets he wouldn't believe me. He then guessed "Does he turn into an animal?", I didn't have the heart to tell him not only is it more ridiculous than that, but Jon is the one who (probably) turns into an animal.

Better tell him he's barking up the wrong tree with that theory.

Well it's that or more rape. Well, not mind rape, rape rape.

Bran is going to do something bad as Hodor isn't he.

I'm waiting for the ultimate redemption arc, the ZOMBIE GREGOR chapters. Where we find out The Mountain is basically like Lenny from Of Mice and Men, but mixed in with the jow/sorrow of Flowers for Algernon, and at the end we all weep fat tears for the Mountain that Rode... and call GRRM the American Tolkien-Steinbeck.

Edit: Tywin will be shown to be the George Milton character, caring for Gregor through his pain induced madness, and protecting him from the cruelties of a Westeros that is poorly equipped to handle a man with a simple mind, a large body, and an even larger heart....

I think someone in here did something like that and wrote about Mireen being bombed out of existence.

Daenerys reached up to stroke Rhaegal under his chin, but the dragon snapped its head away, staring up into the sky. Viserion and Drogon followed his gaze. Their mouths dropped open, flames roaring impotently into the sky -
White light.

The primary batteries of the Glaive fell silent. The frigate reached out with auspex scans and astropathic probes, peering into the devastation that it had wrought on the planet below. The gunnery crews had done their job well; the targeted city, a veritable nest of Chaos, had been completely annihilated. No psychic trace of the minions of Ruinous Powers remained.
"Well done, shipmaster," Lord General Enoch Almsava commented. The precise strike would leave only the wild northlands as a haven of the Great Enemy, and that would be the job for troopers on the ground.

When maester luwin delivers lysa's message to cat in her bedchamber, she and ned had just gotten done loving and Gurm never misses an opportunity to graphically describe cum. In this case, it was dripping down her leg. Gurm has her say something like "he delivered my children. It's nothing he hasn't seen before."

quote:

“Perhaps I should withdraw,” Maester Luwin said.
“No,” Catelyn said. “We will need your counsel.” She threw back the furs and climbed from the bed. The night air was as cold as the grave on her bare skin as she padded across the room.
Maester Luwin averted his eyes. Even Ned looked shocked. “What are you doing?” he asked.
“Lighting a fire,” Catelyn told him. She found a dressing gown and shrugged into it, then knelt over the cold hearth.
“Maester Luwin-” Ned began.
“Maester Luwin has delivered all my children,” Catelyn said. “This is no time for false modesty.” She slid the paper in among the kindling and placed the heavier logs on top of it.

Sorry to bring this up from a few pages back but I cannot find any mention of, uh any dripping going on in the passage you mention, which reads as follows:


I am not a native English speaker though so perhaps something escapes me?

I thought he said something like.. "Sweet Red God of War".. I didn't take that to mean literally THE RED GOD, but rather that his god was one of blood and murder ( which the many faced god is, right? ).

Kafka Esq. posted:

Littlefinger in the show basically puts the point on it - Gregor's a big kid who got a taste for brutality early. Didn't particularly care how it made him look if he was actually the scariest motherfucker around. And it's hard to argue that he was successful, not many people get to rape and kill queens, princes and princesses and get away with it. He's probably not too particularly bright at anything other than small group tactics, and he's just a blunt instrument for Tywin, who thinks using Gregor early and often will give him an easy out for arguing the brutality of war. Not to mention, Tywin's methods are absolutely scorched earth, it's what the family song is all about; he would recognize the talent that Gregor had for being terrifying and effective.

Meanwhile, Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime on the show, offers his own interpretation at both IGN and The Daily Beast. He admits that it is “hosed up,” but believes that it’s a manifestation of Martin’s vision. “That’s certainly George R.R. Martin at his best, at his finest hour,” he tells IGN. “Of course [Jaime] is forcing himself,”
