Thanks, but no thanks. I'm trying to avoid spoilers. That's why I waited so long before reading this thread, and I'll probably avoid it during season 3.

What I'd like to know is why is this civilization so backwards? According to the Features sections of the DVD it's over 5000 years old, yet it's stuck in a permanent dark ages. There doesn't appear to have ever been a golden age of literature, or philosophy, or arts, or math or science."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!

Probably because of all the political squabbles.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

Is there anything on the planet other than Westros and Easteros? Just think about it. The royal trip from King's Landing to Winterfall, which is nearly the length of Seven Kingdoms takes about 4 weeks. Obviously most of the servants were walking, they'd have to break camp and pack each morning, pause for the royal lunch, then unpack and set up camp at dusk, They'd probably average less than 15 miles/day, so the distance from King's Landing to Winterfall must be about 400 to 450 miles. Isn't that approximately the distance from London to Glasgow? So Westeros is approximately the size of the island of Britannia. On the maps shown in the series Easteros appears only slightly bigger. Surely there's more land somewher else? What are these folks going to do when one day a bunch of Spaniards armed with muskets show up on their shores?Last edited by Dr Strangelove; February 10, 2013, 20:20."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!

No, Valyria was advanced. Westeros was never advanced, but Valyria was. I think Valyria was supposed to basically represent the Roman Empire.
Wasn't Valyria on the southern end of Easteros? The Roman Empire blown up by a single volcano? A volcano that size should have turned the entire planet into Venus. Also many artifacts and writings seem to have been saved, so the civilizations of Easteros and Westeros should have been able to continue the progress."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!

Yet House Cerwyn is half a days ride from Winterfell but on maps that would put it about 30 miles away. Population density doesn't seem to fit with those dimensions either.You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.
