Or maybe it fell the way that Antioch fell to Bohemund, he found a traitor to open the gates.

GRRM video: one prequel pitch "set only 100 years" before Game of Thrones?
Byfort of Corfe replied to The Dragon Demands's topic in General (GoT)
I believe that GRRM on a number of occasions has specifically ruled out Dunc and Egg as a series. -
For Planetos it was a miracle, akin to Arthur pulling the sword from the stone. As pointed out they were petrified, nothing to do with greyscale.

Bran could have been used a better way.
Byfort of Corfe replied to Angel Eyes's topic in General (GoT)
It is difficult to have an all-powerful or all-seeing character. After all look at Superman, during WW2 he could have wiped out the Nazis and been home for lunch. So Bran has to become "detached" or the plot is done in an hour. The overall explanation is that a God or Godlike creature has bigger and different fish to fry. -
Do you think we will see a new Grand Maester?
Byfort of Corfe replied to Godfrey's topic in General (GoT)
I don't think we will. Cersei killed Pycelle or rather had him killed. She has Qyburn who the Citadel doesn't recognize but Cersei doesn't care about that. Besides with the coming war, the old conventions are breaking down. -
Lena Headey is good, but reading the books I picture Cersei more like this
Byfort of Corfe replied to LHakaLH's topic in General (GoT)
I think that Lena Heady does a great job. Although if you want a good idea of what GRRM had in mind for Cersei go look at these, https://www.darkswordminiatures.com/shop/index.php/miniatures/george-r-r-martin-masterworks/cersei-lannister.html https://www.darkswordminiatures.com/shop/index.php/miniatures/george-r-r-martin-masterworks/cersei-lannister-on-lion-fainting-couch.html This line of miniatures is made with GRRM's explicit approval. Actually, I converted Jon Snow into Prince Valiant and use Cersei as Queen Aleta. My painting isn't good enough to show them here. I am more of an Arthurian fan though. -
I don't think it would have helped her in any way. It's the captivity and the journey that Jaime makes that starts him on a path of righteousness.

Who would you say is the ultimate good guy\girl on Game of Thrones?
Byfort of Corfe replied to Feologild's topic in General (GoT)
Complicite in the blood magic murder of his brother and in the burning of his innocent daughter. Stannis is a horrible human being. -
I've always wondered why they didn't dose her liberally with moon tea after the rape.

Johnnie Walker Readies Game of Thrones Whisky
Byfort of Corfe replied to Westeros's topic in Game of Thrones News
Glenfiddich for me, none of this Bravo Sierra "drink what Tyrion drinks junk for me". I gave that sort of thing up when I was a kid and I tried Tang, a truly horrible drink even if the astronauts drank it. -

So littlefinger says he imagines every possibility?
Byfort of Corfe replied to Mwm's topic in General (GoT)
Littlefinger's downfall is that he thinks he sees everything. -
So Rhaegar annulled his marriage to Elia Martell...
Byfort of Corfe replied to Angel Eyes's topic in General (GoT)
AfterHenry VIIIth divorced Katherine of Aragon and executed Anne Boylen he had both Mary and Elizabeth declared bastards. So there is precedent under English Law. Of course, it would all be up to GRRM if he or if the show, has decided to follow that precedent. -
HBO’s New Direction and Prequel News
Byfort of Corfe replied to Westeros's topic in Game of Thrones News
And you care why? Toss in that I've made I think 3 posts, and only one in this thread? My but that's a lot! -
HBO’s New Direction and Prequel News
Byfort of Corfe replied to Westeros's topic in Game of Thrones News
It seems that HBO hopes to strike while the iron is hot. I'm not sure that bodes well although in the interest of full disclosure I really don't think I'll be watching no matter what. -
Season 8: News, Spoilers And Leaks
Byfort of Corfe replied to AEJON TARGARYEN's topic in General (GoT)
In the books the wolves are an important part of the plot, in the show they are essentially nothing.
