... Is that for real?

quote:

Re-reading A Feast for Crows and an interesting Cersei passage stood out to me. When she thinks about how Tommen will have to wait to rule, she thinks:

"I waited, so can he. I waited half my life. She had played the dutiful daughter, the blushing bride, the pliant wife. She had suffered Robert’s drunken groping, Jaime’s jealousy, Renly’s mockery, Varys with his titters, Stannis endlessly grinding his teeth."

In plain text, Cersei accepted Robert having sex with her because it was part of a role she was playing while waiting for the chance to take power herself. I don’t think it can get much more direct about the fact that Cersei clearly never expressed to Robert that she wanted to stop marital relations. She wanted him to believe she was a “pliant wife”.

Of course, given how she acted towards him, she clearly doesn’t know what pliant means, but I guess it was as close as she could get.

So, case even more closed than it already was. Robert did not rape Cersei.

Cause god drat, Linda. I think Cersei's reaction to Tywins suggestion that she get married again makes it pretty loving apparent she wanted nothing to do with Robert.

The fact Linda thinks all Dornish people are white shows how much she really knows about the series. GRRM went out of his way to make Dorne pretty diverse with various groups with different appearances. Let's just look at Arianne quickly shall we?

Yeah, but I guess it makes sense in the context of "his actions will affect the future of other characters who still have a long way to go". And when you think about it, a year of Karate Kid style training montages while he spends a year slowly turning into a tree in an underground cave isn't that compelling.

They're probably gonna jump straight to him being a tree. Not sure if that'll be more or less jarring though..

Bran's storyline is fascinating for the explanation and exploration of magic. Plus, you have Bloodraven and the children and their unique brand of horror. If they dialed up the "these people are into some dark stuff but that is the price I have to pay" you would have amazing televsion.

It will be great, I feel like most TV viewers are bored of Bran right now and will completely forget about him. Roll Season 6 and all of a sudden Bran's one of the most interesting characters in the series in minutes as soon as he appears.

Also I think people like Sansa and Jaime can easily get away with additional plot lines while they wait for season 6 but Bran can't really do that right now since he's locked in the cave.

This is how you do it. No Bran for a whole year. Then the entire first episode the next year is him influencing things that happen the prior season. With many flashbacks.

Edit: Hopefully he looks better with tree roots coming out of him, because holy poo poo he looks like my aunt. Some people can not rock long hair.

I'm currently on a re-read and right at the Reek chapter where Ramsay comes back from looking for the Freys. It's seven kinds of obvious what happens. From the preceding Davos-chapter too. He all but tells Davos that he is going to murder the Freys after he gives them their guest gifts.

exactly. and the big "to do" about the "guest gifts" (which are, correct me if I'm wrong, the only time in the books someone receives a "parting gift" so it's not like it's a commonplace custom) is to make goddamn certain that everyone knows "They are no longer my guests, I'm not like those guest-killing Frey bastards."

Yeah, all that part needed was for Manderly to waggle his eyebrows, wink and nudge Davos in the side while saying "Eh? Eh, Parting gift? Eh? God, I hate those Freys." to make it more obvious.
