"I think I know Littlefinger's plan" is typically what we say when we really don't, but his rather straightforward behavior during the last season and a half has left me a bit suspicious. But, in true Littlefinger fashion, just when you think you know what he's up to he goes and does something compl...

I read an interesting article about that, though I can't remember where I found it. Basically, it explained that, while pure gold wouldn't melt at that temperature, there are many gold compounds/alloys that would. It is easier to believe that than it is to believe that Drogo's jewelry was solid gol...

Viserys died from molten gold while Dany commented that "fire cannot kill a dragon." That really bothered me when they did it. A wood fire is approximately 1100F and a dung fire around 640F. Gold melts at 1948F. My theory is that it wasn't gold at all but caramel and Viserys died of sugar shock. Ju...

Not being burnt might prove that he is a Targaryen, but being burnt to a crisp wouldn't prove anything at all. Remember, not all Targeryens are fireproof. Viserys died from molten gold while Dany commented that "fire cannot kill a dragon." This implies that only a select number of Targaryens are fir...

Jon up and quit, but here's the rub: you cannot quit the Night's Watch. Perhaps a King could release you from your vows or something, but if you do not have orders or permission from the Lord Commander to be away from the Wall, then a NW member is breaking his oath by leaving. On the other hand, Mo...

Another character we shouldn't care about with so little episodes left

*few

*Stannis Baratheon intensifies*

I don't hate Dany. I don't think she's an antagonist. But, I also don't consider her to be a protagonist. I think that she, like most characters in the show, is a morally complex individual who thinks that their intentions are inherently the most noble and, while that might be the case, cause them ...

I'm glad you clarified this and brought in some great lit info.

I just assumed NLF meant hero.

That's pretty much what I meant. I know that "protagonist" doesn't equal "hero," though I had always though of them as similar.

I think there is one thing that we have to consider, and that is that we, as viewers, address characters in a completely relative and subjective manner. If we chose to "favor" a character in, say, Season 1 or 2, psychology and human nature says that we will continue to justify their actions so that...
