The Young Maester

I think in most instances the husband is of a much lower status than the woman. Which explains why women like lady waynwood and oakheart still rule their own lands. They married a man of lower status to prevent them from seizing power. That’s atleast how I think it is since I don’t think we are told about the husbands.

Anyone know what the trailer qoute “history dosent remember blood it remembers names” mean. Like I’ve been thinking about it for a while now and still can’t wrap my head around the meaning or if it has any meaning whatsoever.

Probably why hbo went the safe route and decided to have a show about the badass dragon battles.

Yeah Star Wars and realism never work together. i Have tons of problems with some aspects of Star Wars, but most are unanswerable. And dont know what to say about Vader and obi wan meeting before a new hope (if it happens).

Black valyrians dont really bother me. It is to be expected these days. And atleast they don’t look so out of place like that black dwarf queen on that lord of the rings tv show. Like she looks more like some 21st century character. She dosent even have the beard that female dwarfs are famous for.

I do hope the first season isnt all dark and serious with everyone on edge and walking around with straight faces.

I liked the customs and how everything looked. But I did not like how it looks very dark. Definitely dosent resemble viserys reign at all. The guy was lively with feasts, tourneys and no doubt decorated his keep with all sorts of lively Colors. First season of GOT looked colourful and nice. I do hate this current norm that movies/tv shows based on older times must be dark.

The visuals looked great. Although very dark for some reason. I guess thats the norm for medieval movies/tv shows nowadays.

Can we agree tho that catelyn took out her resentment of neds betrayal on a child that had nothing to do with it. Cats biggest problem with Jon is that he is evidence that Ned loved jons mysterious mother enough that he would raise his bastard alongside his trueborn children. Other lords dont really do that.

Stannis always compares himself with Robert on his mind. From his point of view he has the moustached ugly wife from a different branch of the florent lords. Whilst Robert gets the most beautiful women in Westeros, and the daughter of a great lord. If he had a pretty wife he probably would visit her more.

In the case of alysanne and asha is that theyre women that walk around in chainmail and lead men into war. That would probably irritate stannis a bit. Dosent alysanne claim her children are fathered by a bear like her mother. Although it wouldnt stop Robert. Seeing as they are the only women in the army (I think). Wouldnt put it past Robert to make a move for either of them. Weeks on campaign without a women would drive Robert mad. One can say selyse thinks she failed as a wife because she couldnt give her husband any sons. In this world we see how noblewomen emphasis on giving their new husband many sons. Noblewomen probably take pride on being able to have many sons. Both catelyn and fat walda wanted to give their husband sons. Cat mentioned she wants to give Ned another son, and fat walda wants to repopulate the dreadfort with many little Boltons. And yeah selyse definitely likes him to a degree which is weird. Her and davos would probably be the only people that like stannis. Not even stannis likes himself tbh.

Yeah I can definitely see stannis thinking that way. I remember stannis interaction with alysanne were as if her presence bothers him. Definitely george trying to portray stannis as the opposite of Robert. If Robert was there he probably wouldve bedded alysanne before they arrived at crofters. Maybe she’s in denial that she isnt attractive enough for her husband. If stannis never comes to her bed it must’ve come across her mind that stannis dosent find her to his liking.

Stannis is similar to walder frey in a way that he sees imaginary slights in his head. Selyse definitely reminded him of how Robert insulted him when he took delena to bed. Lol Robert was one dickhead of a brother.

Maybe a nice redhead is all stannis needed so that he would use his pecker.

Being married to stannis must drive a person crazy. One can blame the loveless marriage and the years of being treated like you were dirt by your own husband. I love renlys qoute of how stannis goes to his wife’s bed as if he were marching to war. Also the fact that stannis wanted to outlaw brothels tells you how much he dislikes sex.
