Therae Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 This bit from Dance, Bran III The caves were timeless, vast, silent. They were home to more than three score living singers and the bones of thousands dead, and extended far below the hollow hill. "Men should not go wandering in this place," Leaf warned them. "The river you hear is swift and black, and flows down and down to a sunless sea. And there are passages that go even deeper, bottomless pits and sudden shafts, forgotten ways that lead to the very center of the earth. Even my people have not explored them all, and we have lived here for a thousand thousand of your man-years." always reminds me of the Sunless Sea and the super-depressed Warden of the Earthmen in The Silver Chair (Narnia 4) going on and on with few return to the sunlit lands until even Puddleglum can't take it anymore.

Joy Hill Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 22 hours ago, Shouldve Taken The Black said: Indeed, but it's not just the clothes with Daario, it's the whole persona that's ridiculous. Any bloke who walks around stroking model naked ladies and boasting about all the fights and sex he's had needs pepper-spraying on general principle. And he refers to those dolls he carries everywhere as his girlfriends. I'm pretty sure most girls would be creeped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joy Hill Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I'm amused that Jaime ends up chaperoning Tommen's pyjama party with the Tyrell girls. The image of him standing there while a brunch of 12 year old girls play truth or dare. . . The whole unsullied description. "And then they kill little dogs! And then they kill babies!".

Orphalesion Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I can only say again that I laughed out loud when the training method of the Unsullied was described. Such ridiculous, over-the-top villainy And I found a lot of what we saw of Ramsay very entertaining, he's just so happy about being a ridiculous cartoon bad guy.

JaneSnow Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 When Arya describes Gendry as getting that look on his face whenever he thinks, like it almost hurts. I picture him making a very constipated face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daario: "That was a great Christmas dinner. As you know, I count no day as lived unless I have loved a woman, slain a foeman, and eaten a fine meal." Joy Hill, rolls eyes, mutters: "What a knob."

Guest Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Jon telling Stannis about the Wulls: "They fish the bay of ice and tell their children that the Ironborn will carry them away if they misbehave." The fact that Dagmer Cleftjaw is this monster that people tell scary stories of about the Ironborn. Old Nan tells Bran about him in her stories.

Lollygag Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 That one of the Undying is wearing a pointed hat with stars on it. I pictured an Undying in a cheap kid's Halloween costume. Wonder if it was a dig at Gandalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
