Who do you root for? (aSoIaF thread)

re: Dany marriage. Khal Drogo is a counter-argument.

I could see her be like a Queen Elizabeth I sort (if she wins in the end). Not willing to share her throne or play in those dynastic games, but rather she'll name her heir.

Spoiler:

They are cousins which makes them perfect for a Targaryen couple. Other than the likely false Aegon who else can she marry under the Targaryen system?

........not quite.

Spoiler:

Dany is Jon's aunt.

It'll be hilarious if...

Spoiler:

R+L=J

...is a total red herring.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I think GRRM has basically confirmed it. I may be wrong, but I thought I read it somewhere.

[Lorizael]

There have apparently been 136 threads on that particular topic on the Westeros forums. The 136th thread is still going strong at a couple hundred posts and no one there seems to have said, "GRRM confirmed it; we can stop talking about it now."

Nikolai, this isn't the first time you've posted something that appeared to be willfully obtuse and then tried to get cute when someone called you out on it. I'm sorry that you feel that you're being bullied when someone is trying to correct you on something; it certainly isn't my intention to make you feel that way.

With regard to the news broadcast v. IMDB issue, every single article i remember reading cited the change in IMDB. I'm also reasonably sure there was a thread here about it as well, but i'm too lazy to find it.

Willfully obtuse? Being cute? I'm puzzles by this response. I'm not playing games. I asked a honest question. My being polite is just in my nature. When you see me post, you mostly get what you see. Easy as that.

I think GRRM has basically confirmed it. I may be wrong, but I thought I read it somewhere.

He said readers have guessed one of the big secret plot lines and that he debated changing it or not but decided that the hints were put there to be found so he just wanted to go ahead with it. He refused to say exactly which secret the readers had correctly guessed though.

This is the danger of taking decades to finish a book series. Readers have plenty of time to work things out and hunt for clues.

[Thoth]

........not quite.

Spoiler:

Dany is Jon's aunt.

Spoiler:

That doesn't rule her out.

It does however, make her an AILF.

[Dr Strangelove]

They can get married in West Virginios

Rewatching GoT in preparation for Season 5. There's something I have to admit. This is hard, so I'm just gonna come right out and say it: I don't get all the love for Aidan Gillen; I think he overacts.

While I slightly agree with you there, I think part of it is the role. That style is something I would expect when we're talking about a pimp, no matter how high end pimp he is.

And I've been re-watching them with the wife too. She's watched before but could never keep track. She thinks the binge watching helps because she has paid more attention and doesn't forget as much.

I've noticed a few things i didn't catch the first time, but not many. It does indeed increase the anticipation level,

It does indeed increase the anticipation level,

There's nothing like ending a sentence with a comma to increase the anticipation level.

[OzzyKP]

Guy, I'm a little disappointed you didn't take any issues with my comparison of the Detroit Lions to the peasants in game of thrones

Lions fans know its true...

[TCO]

I'm not even doing the typical TCO acting dumb. I have no clue what any of this refers to.
