RumHam Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I beg your pardon. I am usually able to make sense of your posts and have been happy to read them. I just can't make sense of the one I quoted, though. Please, can you point me towards what I am missing? An ellipsis is those three little dots. "..." For some reason there are way more of them in Dance than any of the other books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Weirgaryen Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 An ellipsis is those three little dots. "..." For some reason there are way more of them in Dance than any of the other books. OMG of course it is ... ;-) Thank you for saving my sanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuvuuia Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I thought that Dany's "floppy ears" was an actual meereenese headdress, i remember thinking that she would look rather silly wearing both the floppy ears and her dragon crown :dunno:(i also thought that the mummers dragon meant a mummified dragon and traveling mummers were doing mummification... but it was before i started reading the books) Asha is named Yara on tvshow - Yarrrr! is a stereotypical pirate sound the Flower of Alberta, Canada is a Wild rose, and what is located in Alberta? - the Royal Tyrrell Museum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Melnibonean Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 I think I asked about this a while back in Small Questions but I don't think anybody responded, or maybe it was here, but I'll bring it up again. How come Tyrion and others outside of Meereen call the dysentery ravaging Slaver's Bay the pale mare? It makes sense for Daenerys to call it that because of Quaithe's prophecy and the first case's arrival in Meereen, but how would Tyrion know about that?

Jon Weirgaryen Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Because Dany is actually riding a pale mare - or a silver horse - to make the connection:- your queen is riding the plague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drekinn Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thought it was a cool detail about Janos Slynt. "Sansa stared hard at his ugly face, remembering how he had thrown down her father for Ser Ilyn to behead, wishing she could hurt him, wishing that some hero would throw him down and cut off his head." *wink wink* Jon is Azor Ahai confirmed.

JonCon's Red Beard Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Robb was named after Robert, right? Before the battle of the Bells, Robert was wounded and while he was recovering, he slept with one and many whores. After one of his battles, Robb was wounded and while he was recovering, he slept with Jeyne Westerling and broke his engagement to some Frey girl. Both happened while Sansa, Arya and Lyanna were still "kidnapped"/kept as hostages. The truth is that Arya had escaped and Sansa got married, although against her will. Lyanna probably also escaped on her own with Rhaegar but married him with her own conscent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Melnibonean Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 I'm rereading Jon XI, Dance and it seems to me that the George was hinting that Bloodraven guided Val to Tormund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arya Weinergaryen Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 On my current re-read, I came across this. When Varys visits Eddard in the dungeon, to convince him to retract his statement about Joffrey, Varys complains about innocents being lost when the Lords play their Game of Thrones. When he goes into specifics, Varys mentions only Rhaenys and her kitten. No Aegon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Didn't notice the first time through the books that Arys Oakheart was straight up decapitated by Areo Hotah. That's a hell of a way for a Knight of the Kingsguard to go out :cheers: I always wonder why it is that Areo Hotah seems to know who he will go up against one day and exactly how he will attack them. He seems to know their weaknesses beforehand. So, who the heck is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kitten is the one that Arya chased around the Keep and was also present at Kevan Lannister and Maester Pycelle's death. Who is warging that cat?

There was someone else riding the pale mare. Dany's is silver and she wasn't riding the plague. She felt immune from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H0X0 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 In which sense? OT: but, that thought was mostly in relation to another thread on controversial characters, where some people were of the opinion that Jaime was forever evil because of Bran and Jory. Full disclosure, Jaime is my hands down favorite character, so I always reconciled his AGOT persona as that he was heroic to a fault. That the impulsiveness and arrogance required to be fearless in battle led him to also do terrible things.I was just curious how that opinion was different if the second time you read about him isn't the time he throws an 8 year old out a window./OT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
