King Snow

I was musing about how odd it was that royalty are - even formally - addressed by their titles and their first names whereas most everyone else formally addressed would be by title and last name. That then reminded me of Davos in "Spoils of War" correcting Missandei's "Lord Snow" with: King Snow, is...

Re: Sansa's Reaction to Arya's List

Thanks, all! We already have some official word based on a Kim Renfro (INSIDER) article posted by RosanaZugey in a Shakman interview post. And so we know: Shakman : One of my other favorite scenes in the episode was Arya and Brienne and their practice session, which Sansa oversees and really becomes...

As an old acquaintance of mine used to say,
"I bet his arse went: tanner, half a crown".

(Only British people of a certain age will be able to work that one out) :twisted:
Drawing in those cheeks by half the diameter of a crown? (Not British.)

Sansa's Reaction to Arya's List

In the crypts, when Arya mentions that Joffrey had always been top of her list of people she was going to kill, Sansa laughed because who in the world is badass enough to be a kingkiller without being a trusted member of the kingsguard or king's retinue? You can't just walk up and kill a king! Espec...

Re: Cersei's Map

Yes, popular speculation is that the Narrow Sea is the English Channel and Arya's "what's west of Westeros" will be the Americas. But the closed captioning does now have "He knew it."

Re: Hound Fires

I've seen fanart of Eastwatch with a mountain above it, is that correct or "poetic license"? Well, it is certainly possible that the show won't follow the books in this minute detail, but the official maps from the books do not show mountains near Eastwatch. Random House has online versions of the ...

Hound Fires

(So I'm going to bring up something that Vanessa has officially written up in a news item but is still a bit spoilerish, so any avidly avoiding everything not in the show may want to run away. Sorry.) In the Hound's vision, everyone is convinced that he's seeing Eastwatch by the Sea because that's t...

Re: Premiere Episode Title?

The Queen of Thorns could be quite the player in finding a compromise for the Myrcella injustice. I wonder if she'll be a player in the Queen's Justice. And Sansa. And Cersei and Dany, of course. Justice should be a good thing, but it sounds so bad, right?

Re: Theories, Wild Theories, & General Lunacy

Jorah had that taboo against it when Viserys tried to spill blood in season 1. It's inconsistent storytelling and bending the established worldbuilding rules to get an omg yaaas queen moment. Dothraki hate magic and now they're all suddenly ok with it. Convenient. That's a good point, Potato. Perha...

Re: Con of Thrones

Here are the first 20 minutes of the 50 minute Sandor Clegane panel. Ser Hunts, who recorded all of his panels, apparently didn't get prior permission from the folks running the Con before recording and publishing, though he did get permission from those presenting with him, I believe. However, sinc...
