  1. I believe the dude that posted it originally was active on some other forum and only came here occasionally. Like so many of us he's probably gotten bored with waiting.
  2. If it wasn't in the Red Waste, it was on the edge of it...
  3. Suggests lax discipline--not a canp Arthur Dayne would be proud of--in contrast to Stannis's reputation.
  4. Before the good folk of Agrabah had to make way for Disney's Aladdin, the Romans had to make way for Elizabeth Taylor's Cleopatra.
  5. Fine. I will take my square peg and go play some place else.
  6. If Aegon Aegon were to fall for Arianne, and if Aegon were to ally with Daenerys before they dance, and if there were a political marriage between the presumed Targaryen aunt and nephew, Aegon might betray Daenerys for love of Arianne.
  7. How about the treason for love? That's not from Quaithe, but as @HelenaExMachina noted, those Quithe warnings were for folks headed toward her. Doran sent sent his sun... er, son not his daughter.
  8. I know, right? She and her father have larger concerns.
  9. Maybe Jon... Jon totally digs Satin and his black curls.
  10. Just so... Bandits at eight o'clock move in behind us Ten ME-109s out of the sun Ascending and turning our Spitfires to face them Heading straight for them I press down my guns I heard that song the other day and thought about this question.
  11. Drogon is the stallion that mounts the world. Rhaego is dead. It is known.
  12. No need to quote Yoda... Of course that's from the Undying Ones, which presumably use a different voodoo, but I think that's the idea. I think the visions have to be inspired by some entity with the power tonproject such visions. One such entity could be a super powerful greenseer like Brynden Rivers. Presumably, he is omniscient, since he can see through countless trees and animals, enabling him to predict future events acurately. And keep in mind that such entities might be showing visions not only to warn, but also to inspire certain actions.
  13. In The Long Reign, Fire and Blood, we are told that the Lady Meredith took on great grey lizards, one of which bit a crewman who lost the bitten leg, and that was followed by a large white leviathan purposefully slamming into the ship. Is this sequence of events an allusion to Moby Dick, in which Ahab seeks revenge on the whale that caused him to lose a leg?
  14. Anybody know of any good theories regarding Rego Draz's "small household idol like unto a woman great with child, with swollen breasts and a bat's head?"
  15. In the world of ASOIAF, is a drake an adolescent dragon?
  16. Queen Rhaena's dragon Dreamfyre produced a clutch of eggs on Fair Isle. Do we know which dragon was the father, or do we suspect asexual reproduction?
  17. I posted that several years ago. Maybe I ought to toss it out there again...
