      so watchers won't hate Dany when she starts ****ing him, the way readers did.
      Is Dany's story any better in the books? I've found her entirely portrayal in this series terribly dull and repetitive.

          He's a few inches shorter, and several inches wider.

          That's just stupid. Unless they re-name him "The Plateau".

              I mean, he's still gigantic:



              He's just 6'9" instead of 7'1".

                What was so bad about the previous ones that they have to keep recasting them?

                  • Is Mountain any relation to the Hedge Knight from some prequel stories, also a giant?

                      • Longer answer: Ser Duncan the Tall was a member of Aegon V's Kingsguard, meaning he couldn't marry. Meaning no offspring.

                        Since he was a Hedge Knight, that means he wasn't a part of any noble family.

                        Though Brienne of Tarth is carrying Ser Duncan's colors (some rumors that Brienne is descended from Ser Duncan, but I don't see it - unless Ser Duncan leaves the Kingsguard or has a legitimized bastard or something).

                        • Thank you.

                          I really enjoyed the Hedge Knight stories.

                          • They are immensely fun .

                            GRRM is supposedly coming out with a last Hedge Knight story at some point soon (probably right after Winds of Winter is done).

                              • I've only read the graphic novel versions of the Dunk & Egg stories, and they are rather entertaining. I'll wait for the collection to read the whole shebangabang.
