Re: Samwell at the citadel

Hopefully, the resolution to the White Walkers will not involve Valyrian steel, but instead involve major dilemmas for Jon, Daenerys, etc., that basically build upon all of the sorts of dilemmas that they have had throughout the series. Oh, yes! I very much want character development, as well, of c...

Re: Viewing Party

I've done virtual live viewings (FaceTime audio) with Ice Dragon a couple of times but we haven't talked about that this time. We were able to watch The Winds of Winter live together last summer (woohoo!) since we were an hour or two apart at that time, both on vacations. We might not be able to do ...

Re: Samwell at the citadel

Isn't World of Ice & Fire largely fan-fiction written by the nutjobs at Westeros.org? If so, then it does not mean much, either for the books or for the show. Regardless, on the show they have mentioned that there are only a dozen or so in Westeros. George is listed as the primary author so I would...

Re: Samwell at the citadel

He will learn potions, defense against the dark arts... err.... wrong franchise sorry. Mwahaha! Seriously, I can't get enough of wizarding schools. Hogwarts. Kvothe's university from the Kingkiller Chronicle, which is probably closer to The Citadel. And I'd love to have an entire novel or even seri...

Re: Samwell at the citadel

I'd love for Sam to find: 1. Valyrian steel swords. At the sword panel at the Con, a panelist mentioned that there are 227 Valyrian steel swords in Westeros according to The World of Ice & Fire . Since we only have just over a dozen named swords in Westeros and not even all of these have known locat...

Re: Con of Thrones

And then after hearing all of these amazing, articulate, and vastly-more-knowledgeable-than-I-am panelists for two and a half days, I was all kinds of nervous for my own panel. As soon as Zack announced on Watchers about Con of Thrones coming to Nashville - a hop, skip, and a jump from me - I knew t...

Re: Con of Thrones

How was the attendance? I really want to hear official numbers because I'm afraid I'm terrible at guessing. I went to an academic conference at the beginning of June with 1000 people in attendance, and I think that this conference far more than doubled that number. So at the very least 2000 were at...

Re: Con of Thrones

Thanks for the post. S7 is 2 weeks away so staying leak free won't happen. Amazingly, only one "theory" I heard the entire conference was obviously from the leaks. I'm sure many were there who knew the leaks, but they were all amazingly mature because they all either kept silent or never swung thei...
