Fat Mac Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I confess I want griffins in this story. From the Connington sigil and the stories of Artys Arryn, we know griffins are present in Westerosi folklore, yet we hear nothing about them as we do direwolves, krakens etc. Do they exist? Will JonCon get to ride one? Will he then infect it with grayscale? I need the answers to these questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnar of Skagos Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Why do the Baratheons have dark hair if they descend directly from Valyrians? Might have been covered somewhere but it's bugging me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Mac Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Why do the Baratheons have dark hair if they descend directly from Valyrians? Might have been covered somewhere but it's bugging me...They're at most only half-descended from Valyrians. The other half is the blood of the Storm Kings, who likely had the black hair and blue eyes we see in the Baratheons today. And as JA said, the seed is strong.

7-KG Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 That reminds me of the time a writer in another site I won't name held like a sort of panel with eight Asoiaf/GoT fans, all female. And he wrote something like: "So I met up with the ladies to discuss the series. I made the eight, so to speak"And everyone was (rightfully) pissed and offended in the comments section, and I was just laughing at how inappropriate and tone deaf that guy had been.This is actually hilarious. A random thought:I feel like i'm the only Stannis liker who thinks he's dead on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutch Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I confess that after twoiaf I have no sympathy for those in the riverlands. I've said it before, but it's like moving to tornado alley and being surprised when a tornado rips through. Every time a war breaks out, the riverlands are ravaged. Yet these people willingly live there and bitch about the war ravaging their land. Also, since I've put this before the board before, everyone can refrain from calling me an asshole. I'm well aware of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnar of Skagos Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I really hope Martin writes a single, self-contained novel set in ancient Valyria. I think that would be so cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fresh PtwP Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 In my first read I thought Clydas got displaced by Sam, not Chett. Really made me dislike Sam.I have zero proof but I think Alleras ISN'T Sarella. I think their twins and we haven't met Sarella.I think Aegon is real.I think Ned=KotLT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wolves Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 GRRM constantly keeping Dany and Arya bald bugs me and I don't know why. I'm probably being shallow and have no life so I have time to nitpick at tiny things but it bugs. I can't wait for Tommen and Myrcella to die and I feel horrible about wanting it. Jon can stay dead.

khal drogon Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I wonder why the reaction to the execution of Janos Slynt was not mixed. Even puppy eating slavers receive more sympathy than Poor Slynt. Slynt might deserve death for different reason but killing him for insubordination is one of the most tyrant like action anyone had ever done in the story. While Dany's slaver crucifixion creates so much debates I have never seen debates over this morally questionable action. May be I am fed up with the slaver debates and feels other character's moral choices should be questioned more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dulcinea Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I actually agree with you Khal Drogon. I wasnt really happy with this either. I understand why he needed to do it, but I think it was crappy that he did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night's Watch is a military organization which is on a warlike situation. Jon Snow is the rightful Lord Commander. he ordered a subordinate to perform a vital task. The subordinate disobeyed him first in private and then in public. He openly defied the authority of the commanding officer. That is mutiny and that is a capital offence in most military organizations, especially ones at war Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if your superior officer is an inexperienced teenager who is sending you to a freezing death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
