Game of Thrones

This was quite an interesting episode.
 
For anyone who's read the book, if you can answer this without giving away any major spoilers, is Stannis Baratheon's ******** part dragon or something? What's up with her face? At first I thought it was supposed to be some sort of birth defect. But then I thought it looked like she had scales on the side of her face. She seems like a sweet *** (being ever so nice to the imprisoned "Onion Knight"), but I wonder if she'll be breathing fire when she gets older. Does anybody know what her deal is?

BTW, last night's episode was amazing as usual. This show could easily go on for ten seasons and still be fresh. I just hope HBO will keep writing checks and not **** it for cost reasons, like they did with Rome! :mad:

P.S. I'm thinking that "Kissed By Fire" might include Ygritte's unseen red muff (who knew the Downton Abbey maid liked to get freaky in caves?!), in addition to the fiery ***** fight, the Lord of Light having fire as a tool or symbol and Jaime's touching story of how and why he dispatched the Mad King, who had a fondness for wild fire.

Shireen had the disease "greyscale" as an ******. From the ASOIAF wikia :

When it infects ********, greyscale generally leaves ******** malformed and disabled but alive. It is generally fatal to adults. The disease is contracted by touch and slowly turns the flesh (small patches in ******** and the entire body in adults) of the victim to stone. It is said that the disease also drives its adult victims insane.

From "Dance" : The curse was oft seen in ********, especially in damp, cold climes. The afflicted flesh stiffened, calcified, and cracked, though <<spoiler, character name removed>> had read that greyscale's progress could be stayed by limes, mustard poultices, and scalding-hot baths (the maesters said) or by prayer, sacrifice, and fasting (the septons insisted). Then the disease ******, leaving its young victims disfigured but alive. Maesters and septons alike agreed that ******** marked by greyscale could never be touched by the rarer mortal form of the affliction, nor by its terrible swift ******, the grey plague. "Damp is said to be the culprit," he said. "Foul humors in the air. Not curses."


"Kissed By Fire" is simply a Wildling reference to having red hair. In Wildling superstition they are thought to be lucky.
 
Thanks, Mr. Stiffy!

So I was right! "Kissed By Fire" was a (partial) reference to Ygritte's red muff! :D

Rose Leslie is a good actress. But I noticed when she was on Downton Abbey, her heavy Scottish accent is a bit tough for my American ears to follow sometimes.
 
Do I want to click that link?

Have you heard her real accent? That fried my brain good, having only heard her Wildling/North West drawl.

Well, I'm surprised at how different she sounds in real life. So the accent thing is just for show, huh?! I have to say, I'm kind of disappointed. In that interview, her accent isn't even as pronounced as when she played the maid, Gwen, in Downton.
 
Seems like every moment with Olenna Tyrell is pretty much gold...
 
yeah good one last night. Gotta watch it again as usual. Great fight scene, good ending.
One scene that stood out for me was Jamie and Brienne in the bath. He told the story of how and why he ****** Aerys II.
The guy has values for sure but I just can't forgive him for what he did to Bran.

I've read all I could about the history of England from the Anglo kings until Cromwell. Always was a great interest of mine.
All the Kings, Queens, and people surrounding the courts throughout those times. It's really better than anything Hollywood could devise.
This story is for me like another interesting history to learn about, even though its fiction it has all the elements.

Oh yeah, like 3 times. I got the whole thing.
Like i said Ive read so much about that era and the people involved with the courts, especially from Edward III - Elizabeth I .....the whole War of Roses time frame.
I could pretty much pick out all the historical inaccuracy's in that show, but overall they did a good job and the scenery and costumes were awesome.
A good reference is simply this:
