Yeah but the book and show canon differ.

In the book canon, Dany is the child of Rhaegar and Lyanna, brought to Starfall by Ned and swapped for Brandon and Ashara’s baby, Jon.

Arthur Dayne survived and became known as Qorin Halfhand. Rhaegar was allowed by Ned to take the black, deserted, and is now known as Mance Rayder.

Ashara is the Dusky Woman.

correct

can't wait for when TWOW comes out so we can all talk about how howland sent the pink letter to take jon through the weirwood portal to tell him the truth.

You know her inner monologue doesn't sound drunk. But it could well be the inner monlogue of someone constantly under the influence. You have many alcoholics who drink all that to a BAC that would make others fall over themselves while still appearing to function. Doesn't mean their judgement isn't impaired.

Plus ethanol is a neurotoxin.

So maybe that's why we get 'Oh this guy will be our new admiral. He's called Waters so you know he'll be stellar. Hmm... that one other guy I hired just hired all his brothers? Naah that's not nepotism that's smart. Wait Admiral Waters just took our entire fleet and made himself a king? What do you mean he may not have been a real knight or even just a noble bastard from the Riverlands, but a Pentoshi conman? I'll have to get my new two Masters of Coin Sir Scamsalot and Lord Idyote to build a new fleet. I've learned my lesson: no more sailors as admirals. If they can't sail away they can't steal the fleet can they? Wow I'm smart. All this ruling makes me need some strong wine."

This reminds me of an :eng99: I committed when I first read Game of Thrones many, many years ago. Robert learns he's too fat for his armor and sends some lackey off to get a "breastplate stretcher" and I was baffled by this because I know such a thing couldn't possibly work.

Much later I realized he was deliberately sending the dude on a wild goose chase.

it's done alot better in the show tbf, tone helps alot

And if I wasn’t a long time fan of Mark Addy, you could totally convince me he was concocted in a jar in Yorkshire, the product of a decades long project to engineer the perfect actor to play Robert Baratheon.

Dude is perfectly cast and he delivers the absolute balls off every line.

I still hate that show but they nailed most of the initial cast.

rewarching the show fairly recently took alot of the shine off but i think the one thing most agree on is that the first season is really stunning, they pretty much nail everything

Surely by now there's a TV show with Sean Bean where his character repeatedly finds himself in certain death situations only to show up in a later scene perfectly ok and like nothing happened, right?

not a tv show but in Hitman, sean bean's character is "the undying" a guy who survives pretty much anything, even 47.
