  1. You might be on to something with Shadd being Shadrich. You lost me when you brought Reed into it though.
  2. I think Jon and Robb would almost certainly have an unspoken alliance. That'd be a huge edge against the others if they don't make it too obvious from the start enough to cause everyone else to initially gang up on them.
  3. Distinction noted. Just was poking fun at the silliness of it. Been a couple years since I've been around here regular and yeah, people are still trying to tear down characters that threaten their favorites.
  4. You can't kill the tinfoil theory threads. They rise again, insaner and stupider.
  5. Sometimes a simple explanation subverts expectations. Golden hair could easily qualify as a golden crown. It could also end up meaning other things than a literal explanation. Viserys got his golden crown for example. As for the Tyrells abandoning Cersei, if Cersei was still calling the shots in King's Landing I'd be inclined to agree. But she's not. She's disgraced and Kevan is dead. That all but leaves the Tyrells in charge in King's Landing. All the Tyrells have to do is put a document in front of Tommen for his seal naming Mace Regent and Hand and tell him it's what Margaery would want.
  6. If the sellsword companies were doing the majority of the fighting over there they'd be running the show. At the end of the day a sellsword company typically isn't going to fight to the death for someone else's cause. They'll be vicious and oppurtunisitic when the odds are going their way, otherwise they're typically going to cut their losses and pull back so they can fight, and get paid, another day.
  7. Mace Tyrell for me. I always believed the bumbling oaf act was just that, an act. He's consistently managed to land on his feet during the Rebellion and the War of Five Kings. He manuvered himself into a postion during the Rebellion where sure he took a side, but wasn't getting his lands or armies destroyed in the war by tying himself down besieging Storm's End. If the royalists won the war he woud've been due his reward, as it happened he just dipped his banners and called it a day taking fewer losses than any other great house in that war. He managed more savy manuvering during the War of the Five Kings. He's managed to hedge his bets quite well and moving Margaery from being engaged to Renly to Joffrey to Tommen was quite genuius. Sure his forces and lands seem to be in the direct line of fire more often during this war, but the Tyrells are playing the game to win and be on top and are managing to bounce back from every reversal they're dealt so far. As the books end, they're in virtual control of King's Landing and the Council now that Kevan is dead and Cersei disgraced. All that needs to happen is Tommen be handed a piece of paper to seal naming Mace Regent and Hand. Sure a lot of people dismiss his role in Tyrell success by saying it was all Olenna. But at the end of the day a good ruler is going to listen to good advice and act on it. If he was truly an oaf, he'd just dismiss Olenna's advice saying he wasn't going to listen to some woman or something.
  8. Just killed will do. I never understood the people who want the bad guys to go down so bad, they're perfectly fine with the good guys acting as bad as them or worse.
  9. There's a lot you can be critical of Daenerys about but sometimes people reach too hard. Sure Dany was party to the actions of Drogo's horde in some ways. It's why I have a hard time feeling bad for her feeling betrayed by MMD. But she wasn't going to be able to stop it. This was legitmiately a young girl nudging events into a less terrible outcome for those women. Sometimes that's all you can do.
  10. I guess I'm just not seeing why Dany would care one way or the other about the Frey-Stark feud unless one house or the other ends up pledging to her. To her they're just the usuper's dogs fighting amongst themselves.
  11. I'd say in between. He definitely had his dark aspects, and part of what makes him a compelling character is the reader can identify with why he ended up this way. He also has compassion and even a general desire to be decent in a savage time. As things are going by book 5 he's sliding more towards evil though. Maybe he'll have an intervention that lets him get his life back on track. Or maybe he'll keep taking his daily doses of screwitol and continue his decent into darkness and despair.
  12. As you say, the whole prophecy is one huge case of confirmation bias. You can make a case for almost anyone twisting the words this way and that and cherry picking facts. Is it time for me to spin my "theory" about Hot Pie being Azor Ahai Reborn again?
  13. Brandon Stark marching into the Red Keep and yelling for Rhaegar to come out and die.
