The worst part is, puppies would probably have a bigger shock factor to the TV show audience than the babies. Especially if accompanied with video footage of child-warriors with their puppies. Muahaha

Also, hodor.

Dammit Aaron I was going to post that, sneaky bastard.

For once, the comments are as worth reading as the article itself.

Eh, Martin has gone on record for saying that he hasn't written standout female characters just because writing good female characters is progressive and breaking some sort of artistic mold - it's just that his setting so happened to be a patriarchal society and he's simply trying to write engaging characters in general that behave in believable ways.

That article is a very, very specific angle/perspective to approach the series.

BTW I've started Game of Thrones, I've just finished "A Golden Crown"

I'm loving it! My favorites are everyone's favorites like Dany, Arya, Tyrion and Jon

And I know what's gonna happen to Sean Bean, he's a walking spoiler

 

[Carlie]

Sean Bean is a walking spoiler on everything he's in. Behold Sean Bean's death reel in all of its awesome glory:

Spoiler

My favorite is the one where he gets thrown off a cliff by pigs. I don't know what movie is that but it must be amazing.

Spoiler: More Jon Snow is Ned Stark's bastard meme

 

[Hisako]

I cringe at the hung-drawn-quartered one every time D:

Also, maybe they took Sean Bean onto the role knowing his illustrious pedigree in such roles as these

 

[Danseru-kun]

Ah bastard jokes, I have more of them (not sure if posted here already)

Spoiler

Finished Season 1 BTW! AWESOME my gosh I cry. My parents are hooked and my father watched one episode ahead of me and I was pissed Although I watched the edited version and I think the person did a great job on many scenes but he turned up too prudish, makes me wanna think he can't tolerate one bit of female nudity (because he ended up showing the naked assassin dragged by a horse.) Dany and Drogo's intimate "I'm pregnant scene" was cut off, and Dany's epic funeral pyre scene was edited in a way you never saw Viserion and Rheagon. Good thing I watched all Dany scenes before I watched GoT (she's the reason I watched at the first place.)

Also, the internet makes me ship Dany x Jon

Ice and Fire FTW

Spoiler: Big spoilers from the recent books

Spoiler: Enter at your own risk

Jon and Dany are most likely related, it has been implied that Jon is actually the son of Ned's sister (I forgot her name) and Dany's brother I think (I forgot his name that too).

Yeah I read that theory in tumblr, and this means inbreeding, making the ship more likely

ship ship ship

Spoiler

The names you guys are looking for are Lyanna and Rhaegar

Spoiler

inbreeding

Spoiler

srsly?,

 

[Danseru-kun]

srsly?,

Spoiler

Targayens only marry relatives right? Unless Dany wants the old man in the Night's Watch. But I know Dany most likely won't have children ever again, I read she apparently lost her fertility.

No seriously it's more because I ship the actors. Screw the in-universe implication.

Spoiler

Edit: Come to think of it, I ship them in a foil way, and a political-marriage-ish scenario. Sorry my earlier statement makes you guys think I wanna see them boning each other.

Spoiler

Cersei and Jaime squicks me out to this day

Ah yes I knew her name started with an L.

Ok, so I've finally finished seasons 1 and 2.

Now I only have a few episodes until I have to wait like the rest of the world for new episodes.

This scares me.

 

[Cthulhu]

Why is there not moar talk about this in here? WTF. I mean,

Spoiler: S03E02

1. Hodor.
2. Joyen / Meera are pretty cool, imho. Shame they were introduced so late,
3. That fellow forgot his name / That giant woman are pretty cool imho
4. Theon's getting pwned, lolol
5. Five storylines running through each other in an hour-long TV show is probably not for everyone.

 

[Carlie]

Does the tentacle want more Hodor? Well here:

Spoiler: Hodor!

 

[Ⓐaron]

Game of Thrones actors doing normal stuff is so weird

 

[AvecAloes]

And now the waiting game begins.

Also, I REALLY want to read the books, but Force is making me read the Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy first

 

[Ⓐaron]

From someone who has read both, ASoIaF is better Actually if you're going to read Weis and Hickman I'd recommend Death Gate Cycle over anything Dragonlance (which is still decent, but DGC is better than decent).

 

[Hisako]

Game of Thrones actors doing normal stuff is so weird

This is the same sort of stuff that behind-the-scenes segments appeal to in fans fgj
Also in the books I don't actually remember that swordfight being so one-sided...? Like, Jaime was supposed to be really formidable even in chains or something.

 

[AvecAloes]

Spoiler: Season 3

Just a quick thought - having not read the books, I thought that Theon had been killed instead of knocked out. I was rather surprised to see him done up in chains being tortured. I was (when I thought he'd been killed) a little surprised that he would go out in such a way, but I kind of liked it - put to death nonchalantly by those he was supposed to be leading, but now I'm intrigued to see where this goes.

 

[Ⓐaron]

Spoiler: Vague hints at future plotlines

It gets very interesting, believe me. Theon's actually becomes one of the most compelling plotlines in the show. Before A Dance with Dragons I found him to be a rather middling character, but he's now one of my favourites. I find it kind of interesting that they're already including material from book five - I guess it makes sense since chronologically you don't hear from him for an entire two books, and they don't want to lose track of such a major character, but it really goes to show that there isn't a 1:1 book to show content ratio at all.
