  1. Episode 3 was really good; I was on the fence with the first two episodes, but consider my mind changed now. You know, I'm really impressed by Ray Chase in this show, playing Cyclops. He sounds almost identical to Norm Spencer, so much so that I didn't even know Cyclops was recast, until I looked it up in the credits. Also Jen Hale is always awesome and I love how she's hamming it up this week.
  2. Just feels like character assassination to me. For both Stannis and Mel. Selyse is the only character I can logically see doing it and even for her it would be a stretch. At least if it does happen, it would be to stop a stupid storm, like it was on the show.
  3. I would love it, if the Black Fish entered and won.
  4. I was confused by Bishop randomly being part of the team as well, because that was not a thing in the original show. I think the last time we see Bishop in the original show was Beyond Good and Evil part 4, which was the last episode of season 4, which was originally intended to be the final episode of the show as a whole. There was clearly a time skip between the final episode of the original show and the start of 97, because suddenly Jean is 9 months pregnant and like you said Bishop is on the team, without an explanation. I just find it weird, that everyone is acting like Charles is dead, when every character knows he's just in space, getting treatment, from their alien friends; I find that rather strange.
  5. So he save Aerys, a known psycho by this point, just so he could kill those very same people after the fact? Using his awesome ninja infiltration skills, that would have to be on the level of Varys and the Faceless Men. Ser. Barry is one of my favorite characters, but this part of the lore, just hurts my head, lol
  6. Grifters have made YouTube less fun. I remember when it only had pirated anime back in 2005. Those were the days, lol
  7. Why was Barristan so eager to save Aerys anyway? That always bothered me. The guy was a nut job and pretty much everyone who knew Rhaegar said he would be a better king. The whole rescue bothers me, because it treats Barristan as if he's Rambo or Solid Snake. Don't get me wrong, I love Barristan, but since when is this guy some master of stealth and infiltration? Coming to Dany wearing a beard and using a different name doesn't count, lol
  8. There's a differences from the LC leaving his desk to go for a walk, heck even going to a nearby castle when a lord summons him. The Lord Commander leading a ranging into the Haunted Forest, is another matter though.
  9. Truth be told, I find it strange that Lord Commanders are allowed to leave The Wall, as a whole. For example Mormont leaving on the Great Ranging, feels like it would completely screw up command of the Wall as a whole; which basically did happen.
  10. There's was something just "cool", about watching that X Men show, back when I was in first grade. About a year ago, when I still had Disney Plus, I binged the entire show, in about a month and it's aged like fine wine. I'm honestly shocked, that they were able to get away so many things on a kids show. I only had one issue with it and it's one of the most minor things in existence; that I don't even feel like mentioning it here. It was such a great experience rewatching that show.
  11. Right, she's innocent as a little puppy dog. She clearly had no idea what her employer was doing, truly what was I thinking, lol
  12. This is the show made by Harvey Weinstein's assistant, who helped him do, what he did, right? That alone, just makes this show feel dirty to me.
  13. For what it's worth, I believe the sample Arianne Martell chapters, for WoW feature her name and not "insert title". Naturally this could change for the final book, but I get the feeling she'll be given a bigger role in that book, since she'll basically be our eyes into the Faegon camp and possibly even marry him. I know we already have JonCon as our eyes in that camp, but his life expectancy isn't very long and he's also possibly going to lose his mind as well.
  14. He didn't give Dany those ships, she took them from him and Illyrio was just alright, with her basically stealing from him. You have to remember those ships were just suppose to bring Dany back to Pentos. While on her way to Pentos, Dany takes command of them and orders them to Slavers Bay. Listen, we're going around in circles here. I will admit, that Illyrio and Varys conversation in the first book, does tell us that both of them are working for a 4th faction. I'm just saying that as far as ADWD goes, Faegon was created at the last minute, by all current evidence we have available. Simply put, GRRM hinted at this 4th faction in the first book, but couldn't make his mind about it, until towards the end of his writing of ADWD. That's the only point, I was making.
  15. To be honest, the most interesting of these characters I find is Victarion. So far he's the only POV character to go from a "insert title", to actually having his name featured as a main character. He's the Iron Suitor in his first chapter and Victarion in his second chapter in ADWD. What makes this even more interesting is learning from Gsteff's notes, that Victarion was suppose to die, in both AFFC and ADWD, but GRRM keeps changing his mind. For me, it makes Moqorro, feel like GRRM creating a character, who is an insert for himself, when he saves Vic's life and see's into the future better than any character.
  16. There are much cheaper gifts. Like the ones Illyrio gives her in the original draft. In the original chapters, Illyrio is suppose to give Dany a chest of fine silks, gold and gems. Dany is suppose to find the Dragon Eggs in a cave, when she gets scared and runs from Drogo. All of this changed in the published book however.
  17. I mean Jorah tells us they're one of the most expensive thing on the planet. That Dany would be wealthy for the rest of her life if she sold them. Still doesn't explain why Illyrio would just throw something so valuable away, if he expected Dany to just die in the waste. Also, you ignored my second point, that we literally have proof that GRRM invented Faegon at the last minute, from him not appearing in any of the earlier drafts of ADWD; thanks to Gsteff and all the notes they gave us. The Jon Connington POV was also something invented at the last minute as well, same with Barristan. GRRM also constantly changes his mind about killing off Victarion.
  18. They were worth a fortune and could buy Young Griff several armies. It makes no sense for Illyrio to give them to some girl he expects to die on the Dothraki Sea.
  19. Elden Ring was completed years ago though. From what Miyazaki told us, about working with GRRM; George basically wrote a D&D type story book, for Elden Ring and Miyazaki wrote the mythology for the game around that. Keep in mind, Fromsoftware games, doesn't have stories in the usual sense of the word. It's more a case of players not really understanding the story, unless they read item descriptions and look closely at environments. They have very few cutscenes and even less exposition.
  20. So explain to me why Dany got the dragon eggs from Illyrio then? Assuming Faegon existed in GRRM's mind back in the early 90's while writing this story, there's no way Illyrio wouldn't have saved one of his three dragon eggs for Faegon. I mean we even have proof that he's a last minute addition to the story, thanks to Gsteff, reading the original drafts of ADWD at the Cushing Library and posting the details on reddit. Faegon doesn't exist in any of the early drafts, expect for the one GRRM published in 2011.
  21. Are you talking about the tv shows?
  22. For what it's worth, he did post a giant picture of a dead King Kong, when he finished ADWD, but he made it very clear he was nearly finished with the book, before making that post.
  23. Yea, because Varys helping Dany and Viserys from afar wasn't doing that already.
  24. Varys being a Targ, who shaves his head bald. I just hate this theory, though I'm not really happy that fAegon exists either, so what do I know.
