Game of Thrones

Also, it would seem that Arya & Sansa are each headed to the Vale. One never knows what will happen, but it would be nice to see at least one Stark reunion after more than 20 episodes.

You want to really depress yourself? Go back and watch the first series and count the number of times Starks/Jon bid each other goodbye that will never see each other again.

Incidentally, I wonder if anyone else remembers that while we've been following Bran around, there was a massive foreshadowing that Rickon has the sight too, after he and Bran had the same dream of seeing their dad in the crypt.

Bran : "They'll be back soon. Robb will free father, and come back with mother."
Rickon : "No they won't."

He knew.

In the book, it is suggested that Arya might be a warg too. There are episodes, when she was fleeing from Lannisters, where she slept and dreamed that Nymeria was chasing her pursuers. And then the pursuers vanished.

But I don't know how they might fit this into the series.

But - what the fuck, this is a PORN site!!! - who was the tall blonde in the mmfff orgy?
 
That was such a well written scene in the dungeon between Podrick and Tyrion. Once again, Tyrion shows his true nobility.

Anyone else find it incredibly hot when Daenerys was addressing the slave population of Mereen? I dig chicks who speak foreign languages but a made up one all the better.

Things are gettin' good.

I'd love to see something like that too. But then I realize they're Starks, and find the answer is a "Fuck, no." like, most recently, when Bran and Jon almost happened.
 
I reckon the best family reunion is going to be when Jon Stark (declared trueborn by King Stannis), the Lord of Winterfell, unites North and South by marrying Danaerys, Queen on the Iron Throne... blissfully unaware she is, in fact, his auntie, as all along he has actually been the secret lovechild of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen, and not Ned's bastard at all.

But then again, I'm sure I'm terribly wrong.

Soooooooooooo...........when does Tony Stark show up? That's what I'm waiting for.

Now you're just messing with us. You've read the books. That's probably exactly what happens. You just spoiled the entire GoT saga, all the way through Season 6, or however many seasons there will eventually be.

Thanks a lot.

This ain't in Da Bookz. I've read them, that's why I never speculate here.

The only thing in Da Bookz that might suggest that there are some other Targaerians is in Book 2, so it's not really a spoiler for GOT Season 4-7. Daenerys has a vision of _three_ living dragons. One is her. The other might be Aegon the blind Septon of the Wall. Who is the third? Not Viserys, who was dead.

No.

You've read the books.

Yes.

None of it's happened in the books, as anyone that's read up until the end of Dance will verify. it's just me pissing around having a few wild guesses.

If you go back and read my (lengthy) contributions to this thread, you'll see I've always tread very carefully to share additional information from the books when I think helpful or interesting (or if requested) about events that have aired or that occurred in the story prior to the death of Jon Arryn, and never ruined anything. I've encountered that breed of cunt before, and am not one.

To be blunt, there's virtually no chance of Jon being a Targaryen anyway. Look at his hair. Targaryens all have silver-blonde hair.

No. If anything, George will probably die before the books get finished and the show will be all there is to wrap up the story so we'll all find out together. The spoilers in this thread are the posts giving away what happened with Joffrey's poisoning, which I have considered removing, but nobody seems to give a shit.

Thanks a lot.

You're welcome, I guess.

Fun fact - a conversation between two characters that occurred in series 3 of the show (between two characters that as of the end of the 5th book haven't even fucking met) actually contained a mild spoiler for one of the remaining books, for the really attentive.

Stiff, I was messing with you. I don't know whether I've read all your contributions in this thread, but I daresay I've read most of them, and it's precisely because you're always so careful about not spoiling things for the rest of us that I was giving you a hard time. You're quite detailed when you give background information from the books that sheds light on the show, and you never just up and blurt out a major plot spoiler. That was one of your more pithy contributions, and therefore it had to be somewhat sarcastic.

Although I'm not sure I should tell a guy named Stiffy I was giving him a hard time.

But hold up a minute: other than the hair, is there no chance Jon could be a Targaryen? There's quite a bit of scuttlebutt about that very possibility. And correct me if I'm wrong, but the Targaryen's generally mate with each other, so couldn't a half Targaryen have dark features? My memory isn't the greatest, but I don't believe we never saw Dany's stillborn baby in Season 1, so who knows if it looked more like an Albino than a Dothraki. I don't find the hair color thing totally convincing, so if there is some other reason why Jon couldn't be a Targaryen, I'd be interested in finding out.

I've half been expecting that one day soon Jon will stumble into a fire or something and find he's actually a dragon.
 
Ooops, sorry. It's been a long couple of days.

Errrr..... well, some people dismiss the idle wondering about "we don't really know about Jon's parents, he could be a Targaryen" by the fact he got burned in series 1, but that's pretty easily squashed by the manner of Viserys' death. So heat can still harm as trueborn a Targaryen as the progeny of the Mad King's own loins.

I believe for the sake of show-accurate scuttlebutt, in the vision that Dany had in the House of the Scottish Warlock House of the Undying, they gave her vision of Rhaego dark hair, suggesting that recessive Targaryen silver hair genes would yield to dominant Dothraki black hair genes.

I still don't buy it though for the simple reason I think it's just eager fans wanting to believe that Snow is basically the Luke Skywalker of ASOIAF and the only way he could be cooler than being "The Bastard" and taking the black and having an albino direwolf and being excellent with a sword with its wolfs head motif would be "ZOMG what if Jon was Targaryen too" etc. Unveiling Lord Snow to actually be Rhaegar's son (and logically the "rightful" heir) would piss on Dany's arc quite a bit.

This is usually where I say "fuck fawning over Targaryens anyway ; Hear Me Roar" but Dan and Dave turned my favourite character into a rapist in the last episode so... yeah.

EDIT - if you think mine was a bit of a lark, the April Fools I read was amazing. Words to the effect of :

"In The Winds Of Winter we learn that Cersei is actually Jon's mother, and it was her and Ned's affair that woke the White Walkers. Dany makes it to Westeros with her dragons but decides that she prefers the weather in Essos and goes back. Sadly her dragons burn everything and everyone including Dany and the only two characters left alive are Asha Greyjoy and Rickon Stark, so the seventh book will be about the two of them searching the world to find each other and repopulate it. But I might have to stretch it out to three more books to accommodate the descriptions of all the food they eat along the way."

Pucker Up Butter Cup.
I wonder if this week will be a filler episode, the trailer didn't look too interesting.
 
Think about that for a second though. One thing the GoT saga has in wild abundance is rightful heirs. There are like 22 of them in any given scene of the show, and I assume the books have just as many, if not more.

I'm kidding, of course, but considering how much of the plot is driven - and infinitely complicated - by the number of "legitimate" claims to the throne, isn't it reasonable to suppose the story might take such a turn? Technically Jon has taken the black and can't make any claims to the throne, even if he is a Targaryen. But the Night's Watch may well be toast shortly, and just as Jamie could easily have left the King's Guard, Jon may well be released from his oath and challenge Dany. Jon would have a legitimate claim both to the North and the Iron Throne, and he wouldn't need to marry anyone. I think the idea that Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen might be Jon's parents is plausible, is all I'm saying.

And this is totally off the "Who's Jon's Mommy?" topic, but this is the second season in a row to start off completely ignoring how the previous season ended. At the end of Season 2, the White Walkers were literally marching on the wall, and then, nothing...or almost nothing...at the beginning of Season 3. At the end of Season 3, everyone is gathering their armies to defend the wall. But so far this season there has been bupkis about Walkers yet again. In the preview for this week's episode, there is a glimpse of a Walker, so maybe the trend will change, but I kind of doubt it. The show has been teasing about imminent attacks of Walkers since the opening scene of the entire series. If something doesn't happen pretty soon, that particular plot device is just gonna get boring. Like the boy who cried White Walker or something.

And this is off-topic too, but it just occurred to me: where the eff is Gendry? If he's still in that rowboat, he's dead by now.
 
Fun Gendry fact - the arc where Melisandre takes him from the Brotherhood Without Banners, takes him to Dragonstone and uses his blood to create the Robb/Joffrey/Greyjoy leeches (and becomes the subject of the debate whether or not to sacrifice him) before Davos aids his escape does not happen to Gendry in the books. In the book, the subject of that particular arc is Edric Storm of Storm's End, Robert's bastard by Delena Florent, cousin of Selyse (Stannis' wife). Robert and Delena conceived Edric on the wedding night of Stannis and Selyse, in the couple's own wedding bed. For ease of casting, Dan and Dave just wrote Gendry to have that particular bit of fun. Oh yeah ; nobody had to fuck Melisandre to obtain the blood either. That was just another meaningless sexposition.

Fun "Oh, that Robert Baratheon" fact - when Catelyn goes to the Eyrie to see Lysa, her ascent to the summit is assisted by a bastard girl of the Vale called Mya Stone. Robert's bastard. They're everywhere!


And yeah... they fuck up quite a bit with things getting forgotten and reheated. Like the end of series 3 when someone spat their coffee out in the writers meeting and went "FUCK, Yara Greyjoy! What are we doing with her now.... ?"
