if anyone could claim that Starks dragged them into their rebellion , it's their vassals. Freys weren't dragged into anything ; they reached an agreement . granted, Starks didn't honor that agreement but that still doesn't mean they should be punished for dragging Freys into their rebellion!

don't open that can of worms

no, that was Aegon. Rhaegar was the one betrothed to Manderly's eldest daughter.

it does sound like him to write 1000 pages and doesn't get passed Aegon Lusty Unworthy . not to mention , without a third book he'll have to include Aerys II's reign , Robert's rebellion and Harrenhall in detail , too. however , if he wants to call the second book Blood and Fire instead of Fire and Blood 2 , what will he call the third books? Flood? besides, Blood and Fire being the inverse of Targaryen words might suggest the end of their dynasty.. now, I'm lost again! @Ran can you tell us if there will be a third F&B book?

I'm gonna stop you right there.. if you don't see that as problematic and if the only version of rape in your mind is a woman kicking and screaming whilst the rapist has his way with her , then we don't really have to discuss anything! we have very different views

well , he certainly is working on other projects... I'm gonna lean towards a more optimist view by thinking he means he won't publish any more books before WoW and conclude that he is close to the end of WoW! however , I'm pretty sure that I'm just fooling myself

me too ... I wonder what the Who and Who book is gonna be.. I mean , if it's just the app info , it's not exactly .. exciting (sorry for saying that) how about sending him some Winds of Winter positive energy then , Bard?

I just read George's last Not a Blog post . does anyone else feel like he has forgotten that after Winds there is yet another book he needs to work on if he ever wishes to "tell the story" ? Current Mood: down

isn't there a theory that Manderly killed , baked and ate him? anyways, it's totally possible that Manderly had given him a bad horse that gets him lost and eventually killed

ok! which one is his greatest deed? 1) mascaraing Tarbeks and Reynes 2) forcing his father's mistress to a walk of shame(and make no mistake ser.. he only did that because she was a commoner who had risen above not because she was a corrupted woman) 3) having his son's 14 yr old wife gang raped 4) making his son watch his wife being raped 5) neglecting his twins to the point that he was entirely clueless about their affair 6) thinking himself so high and above that ,for no good reason , just assumed crown prince of a dynasty that hardly married outside of their inner circle, would be his son-in-law. and worse than that made his little daughter believe that , having her heart broken afterwards. 7) accusing his dead wife of being unfaithful for the sole reason of not getting a pretty son , before her corpse was cold. 8) "honoring" his wife's memory by offending her friend 9) ordering two brutes to murder children 10 ) ordering a mad man to rape and kill a woman because Great Tywin was offended by her marriage 11) conspiring for a slaughter of nobles and innocent soldiers in a wedding 12) probably Duskendale (disputed)

he did the best with what he had if it wasn't for their Targ Plot , the Dornish probably would have joined the war . Tyrion was no fortune teller , therefore , what he did was the best in that situation. if not for his trick , Stannis would have taken the city before Tywin and Reach could save anyone. that wasn't just on Tyrion. those two should have joined forces but Cersei's paranoia came in the way and the only way for Tyrion to actually do anything was to fight her back. and if by Lannister loyalists you mean Pycelle and Janos...please!.. not his finest hour the irony is Tywin did the same.. he just kept his whoring secret granted , a terrible threat . but the truth is he was playing a part that he knew Cersei would buy.. he never meant to harm Tommen. that's the thing about Tyrion : he has accepted people referring to him as a monstrous Lannister imp and he plays the part .. although as time goes by he is embracing that persona entirely. shall we talk about how Chataya was an innocent human being that Cersei used for no absolute gain other than threatening Tyrion? and unlike Tyrion , she would have been true to her word his interactions with Joffrey were golden! that kid needed to be taught a lesson that's more upsetting than anything yeah , but his sister and father both would have done the same thing.. which is a problem with them all..they are too proud to see someone like LF might have his own agenda oh boy! that misogynist monster? ! I have to make another post about that!

as far as I've realized , squires are in training to become knights and are in personal service to knights . men-at-arms are like hired fighters whose contracts, unlike sellswords , are permanent.

poor whores always name their daughters after noble lovers - Barra daughter of Baratheon - Lanna daughter of Lannister (disputed) - Obara daughter of Oberyn

he was more of a good guy in book one but he is getting darker each book. I'd like to mention that his train of thoughts as he was manipulating Aegon was interesting, considering he had not yet decided what his own agenda is (he hadn't even if he wants to live yet!) and was merely playing with him: " There, that’s made him good and angry "

Cersei? is that you?

whoever were septons/septas in AegonIII's court must be honored by the faith. they brought up a septon-king , a septa-princess and a religious queen.

I find it sweet that both Jon and Theon share the dream of being a legitimate member of Stark family and Ned Stark's son. Jon dreams of saving Ned to earn Stark name and sword , while Theon dreams of marrying Ned's daughter and becoming his good-son.

no, it was Big Walder

smart little monster you mean! Cersei killed her best friend for fear of a prophecy at the age of 10. Big Walder killed his cousin as a means to elevate himself in line of succession at the age of 8-9 . I wonder how this one will turn out...

whether it's writing process George is struggling with or lack of interest, I think WoW is either published / in publication process by the time of "Tourney in Harrenhall " theater or it will not ever be published at all.

how about Jorah to Lynesse? she was way younger and far more wealthy

a mid-life crisis unreachable crush

yeah

wondering what Dorne looks like in winter? http://hd.wallpaperswide.com/thumbs/landscape_white_sands_new_mexico-t2.jpg
