The details I can remember offhand: everyone on his boat has their tongues removed to keep his secrets, he's constantly drinking this semi poisonous wine that turns his lips blue, he wears an eyepatch to cover his 'blood eye' which apparently has some sort of magical properties, he paints the deck of his boat red to hide the blood, he has a horn that kills anyone who blows on it but can supposedly control a dragon, he keeps a bunch of warlocks prisoner and forces them to do stuff for him... The only other thing I can remember is he teams up with this lord's bastard daughter and wipes out the entire family, she becomes his lover, he gets her pregnant, and the last we see of her is her bound naked and pregnant with her tongue cut out crying He's like some ruthless sea boogeyman

Couldn't the Iron Bank make a claim against Cersei's estate (Casterly Rock) to recoup some of their debt? Does Westerios have probate court?

That was probably one of the items further down Sam's list. I assume he thought democracy would get rousing support, then he would just move down the list suggesting improvements.

Honestly, an anthology show of sorts where each season is a different story from Westeros history would work pretty well. There’s probably 4-5 different stories that could be told over one 10 episode season each.

Android Apocalypse posted:I had to read up on the Iron Bank wiki (yes, I'm that lame) and there is no mention of them having a private army or assassins. What they would do is freeze lending assets to those that welch on their debts and give insanely low interest rates to one's enemies. Actually I was under the impression that the Iron Bank would either 1) wage economic war on westeros until the kingdom collapsed or 2) hire the Golden Company (those assholes that got burned to poo poo by the dragon so there goes that) or whatever. But probably the biggest leverage they would have is economic as well as the debtor being able to keep the spigot on. I.E. if you don't meet the payments you won't get the further loans you still desperately need. Especially during winter when you'd figure the hotter east would still have agriculture and such weird Asian candy posted:Ahh so the show nailed him then... Good question.

The show ran with that character quite a bit while in the books she didn't get any POV attention so the effect was quite different. Tyrion was actually smart in the books and also way more of a drunken rear end in a top hat. Mostly there were a bunch of characters in the books that you didn't see at all in the movie. But generally they followed characterization more closely than plot.

Anybody playing Dauntless? It's like a free to play monster hunter clone. I kind of like it from what little time I put into it. Seems a little more streamlined and less of a time commitment each session than monster hunter.

swickles posted:I just realized the previous Three Eyed Raven was like a thousand years old, so Bran is King for like the rest of time. He's actually about 150 years old. He was Brynden Rivers, a Targ bastard, who was Hand of the King. He was extremely ruthless, and a pretty badass warrior who killed his brother in one of the Blackfyre rebellions which he brutally put down, and was rewarded for it by being sent to the Wall. He became Lord Commander, went out on a ranging and was never seen or heard of again until Bran. weird Asian candy posted:Was the book version of Bran at least cool? Did he use his power at all? Book Bran is much creepier. He's constantly warging into Hodor to perv on Meera Reed, who doesn't view Hodor as a threat, so Bran warged into Hodor is always trying to see her naked and other creepy poo poo

Also what's going on with lannisport? if D+D had any writing sense at all they would have sent tyrion to take over it, since he's the last surviving lannister and he requested it in season 3. make davos be hand, or i dunno.......podrick who gives a poo poo what a terrible ending

yeah "who will be the kings hand" was not a burning question in everyone's minds, but we did want to find out how Tyrion ends up, and Bran the Broken just sort of passively  accepting kingship, the secession of the Starks despite him being on the throne, and then suddenly he has his second actual idea of the entire season (first was being bait for the night king): tyrion will have to fix everything to make up for all his terrible decisions by being hand, which really doesn't feel like either justice, or tyrion winning, or losing particularly, it just kinda sits there.

SundayMoney posted:I believe fifth dimensional chess. He has been around long enough to know that the only way to properly kill someone is in the head and didn't shoot once there especially as close range as it was. I assume it was done as Winston knows the only true way to win is for John to tear the entire establishment down but will need his help to do it Not only that but the ultra ambiguous “well played” leaves enough room for the fourth twist Great movie though. Keanu’s action versus Halle Berry is so night and day - you can tell he actually knows the moves

Wound up with the stomach flu this morning, and not that I don’t enjoy my impersonation if Old Faithful as an excuse to love in bed all day per se, but it not only means both missing work and failing to progress on the painting the bedroom project, it also entails convincing an 18 month old ball of lightning that I’m in no condition to play. Just staring at this  for 7 hours straight

I'd be down with this too except each of those stories is going to be stretched to gently caress and back over 3+ seasons and they'll all air simultaneously and ughhhh I wish more TV shows gave themselves a hard season/episode cap from the outset but you gotta squeeze as many TV bucks as you can out of every show  E: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2ZvU9k8U7s

Keanu's been doing this role for a lot longer, but Halle Berry's skill is still pretty good. That said, you can see how next level Rahman & Ruhian (and even Mark Decascos to an extent) are over Keanu. Seeing Decascos kicking rear end instead of being chairman on Iron Chef America was equal parts cool and weird.
