Queen of Procrastination Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 No you're not I feel sympathy for Lysa as well, but of course that doesn't excuse her actions. Am I the only one around here who wished he had more Dorne chapters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Balerion Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 LF used her and then offed her. Granted, if he hadn't killed her, she would have killed Sansa. She doesn't seem a terribly nice person, even apart from being half-mad; but she wasn't treated very well either. So I can see feeling some sympathy for her, or perhaps more pity. Am I ... who finds himself rooting for both Stannis AND Daenerys? Even though they both burn people and S resorts to black magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of Procrastination Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Did you ninja me But, no you're not I root for both of them as well, despite the fact that most Stannis lovers seem to hate Dany and vice versa. Am I the only the around here who wouldn't be bothered if we don't get the answer to some of the mysteries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I agree that some of the mysteries are better left as just that, mysteries. Knowing the answers to everything, I think, would take away from the intrigue and mystique of the series.

RhaenysBee Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Isn't Lady Ermesande that baby who usually appeared sitting on her nanny's arm? I guess you aren't. I would like to see that too.

Little Scribe of Naath Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 No.....you have me for company, at the very least I've often wondered how most the noble ladies of Westeros manage to be so stunning. Nobody seems to have pimples, a bad hair day, etc.....and I don't quite recall if we hear of waxing techniques, plucking eyebrows and stuff? Re Lady Ermesande - I would love to see that ! AITOOAH who thinks Jaime is the wittiest character of the series? (way more than Tyrion, whose humor I usually find too crude) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhaenysBee Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I wouldn't say the wittiest, but I agree he is wittier than Tyrion. (I think Selyse is said to pluck her moustache daily and Arya tells Jon that girls don't shave, Jon replies that maybe they should and asks if Arya has seen Septa Mordane's legs, and there are a couple more mentions of body hair in the Jaime/Brienne bath scene, Cersei's walk of shame scenes, at least these are the ones I can remember) am I the only one around here who likes Fat Walda and thinks she and Roose Bolton make a hilarious couple?

I think this question got skipped. No, you're not alone. There's actually a lovely contingent of Dorne fans around here who would adore more chapters set there. 1 hour ago, RhaenysB said: <snip ...the only one around here who likes Fat Walda and thinks she and Roose Bolton make a hilarious couple? Nope. They're actually one of the most popular couples. Westeros' most unlikely love story, and one of the best marriages in the entire series. AITOOAHW doesn't watch each season of the show until it comes out on DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Balerion Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I don't know, but probably not. I watched the first two seasons on DVD, but don't know how legal the DVDs were. The remaining seasons I watched in the flames of R'hllor. (I think I just made R'hllor sound like a troll.) Am I .. who wonders what everyone will talk about when or if the books are completed? Althhough, to put it in perspective, people were still finding things to say about Tolkien's books decades after he died, and there'll still be plenty to say about the books as literature. But no one will be able to theorize whether Hot Pie is a secret Targ who's being warged by Zizzer zo Zuzz in order to conceal the fact that Arthur Dayne is Sansa's father anymore. Eek.

RhaenysBee Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 You underestimate people. Only because the books are over (if they ever are, which I seriously doubt), people will still theorize crap they think is between the lines, they will still interprete every word differently and they will still debate whether or not this or that character is a psychopath. Am I the only one around here who doesn't think we will find out about the answer to the question above because the books will not be finished?

Queen of Procrastination Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 No, I know that there are quite many people who believe that, though I'm not one of them. I believe that GRRM will finish the series. Am I the only one around here who actually likes Sam as a character and enjoys reading his chapters( except for the awful sex scene)? I think he's a very realistic character and can sympathise with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy Hill Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Absolutely not. He's not one of my favourites but I like him, and I don't get why so many people dislike his chapters. I'm excited about his future Citadel chapters in Winds. I could have lived without his sex scene though ( I was relatively okay with fat pink mast, it's funny and shows the awkwardness of a teenager having sex for the first time. What really, really turned me off was the breastmilk part). Am I the only one around here who hopes to see more of Genna ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of Procrastination Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 No, you're not I would love to see more of her. She's a really interestig character. And yes I'm really getting excited about the Citadel plotline. Am I the only one around here who would like to see more of Tycho Nestoris in the books? I find his character really interesting and his interactions with Jon and Stannis were fun to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Balerion Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 He's the chap who brought Theon and Jeyne to Stannis's camp, yes? (Checks; yes). It hadn't occurred to me; but I do like his dialogue. But then, I like several characters' dialogue. And I also have a horrible feeling the books might not get finished. Am I ... who wonders how GRRM came up with the POV structure, and if he was influenced by mediaeval romance (Malory, etc.), which has a similar-ish structure?
