    Tyrion and Ser Mandon

    TK, are you so sure that the Tyrells are working toward a return of the Targs, or are they trying to grasp more power for themselves? Marrying Margaery to three different kings, all contenders to rule the Seven Kingdoms, seems to point towards the latter. :)

    The Valonqar

    Hey All- I'm just re-readig AFFC now. Maggy prophecies that Cersei will be killed by the valonqar's pale hands wrapping around her throat. Now, since we're really here to nit-pick: Jaime could certainly use the golden hand to crush Cersei's throat, but can gold be considered pale? I almost...

    George has updated!!

    Sorry, but nothing is going to stop me from taking pot-shots at Jordan. You may ask what the point is, or insist that until I understand every element of the author's life and efforts, I won't be able to fully comprehend his/her work or base any opinions on it. I suppose that the same could be...

    George has updated!!

    OUCH. That's a bit harsh, don't you think? Martin at his worst is still far better than Jordan at his best.

    Is it okay to discuss casting for the HBO series?

    Phew! The last thing I want to see is a pair of "We Do Not Sow" socks.:p

    Is it okay to discuss casting for the HBO series?

    Damn you, Boaz! You found my weakness! I'm the most gullible person on the planet. It was the end of a long day at work, and I didn't have time to read your entire post. Sigh. Thank god. My friend believes that they're going to age everyone because Americans won't stand for...

    Is it okay to discuss casting for the HBO series?

    Okay- Emma Watson is an awesome actress, but she's way too old to play Daenerys! What are they thinking?! I always pictured Petyr Baelish as an Alan Cummings type of guy.

    Ohmygodohmygod

    Haha, why are you shocked? I'm sticking to my guns on this one. I'm the same way about my favorite songs: the second they hit the radio I'm disgusted. Regarding the potential to attract new readers- I could go either way on this one. Once something becomes really big, there are too many...

    Ohmygodohmygod

    This is terrible! My reactions, in order: 1) I'm p*ssed because it's being made into a stupid TV series. 2) Now I have to pay for HBO so I don't miss out on the stupid TV series. I think this is the worst thing that could happen to the series. Call me selfish, but I hate the idea of sharing...

    A Jon and Arya thought while rereading

    AryaUnderfoot returns to throw in .02 about Ygritte: It's not so much the snaggle-toothedness, nor the lack of hygiene. It's the fact that she's damned ignorant, singleminded, and sounds like a broken record... And I believe Thoros of Myr was reputed to be the best drinker of them all...

    The Fool's Gender? (possible spoilers)

    The Fool is most certainly a male, although he does make a good female. As for Molly, I found her annoying and disliked her immensely the first time I read the books, when I was less mature. Recently, though, I read the books again and reached an understanding of her. The poor girl had many...

    SoST Round One: Victarion Greyjoy vs Loras Tyrell

    There! See? I'm not crazy. Thank you! Asha did have a good speech at the Kingsmoot, but that's like offering salad to a meat and taters man. It makes sense, it's the right thing to do, but it just doesn't compute. They want instant gratification in the form of sex and shiny things.

    Storm of Swords Tournament base of operations

    I want to see Brienne against Oberyn. She's the only one with a thick enough skin to not let his taunts get through to her. And now I feel bad with my Yankees talk, after what happened yesterday.:(

    Who will wake up the stone dragon

    Actually, I'd say you're the nitpicker.

    SoST Round One: Victarion Greyjoy vs Loras Tyrell

    She annoys me more than any of the others. She's constantly trying to prove that she's got the tackle that they do. I hope that she'll eventually choke on her denial.

    SosT Round One: Barristan Selmye vs Gregor Clegane

    Gregor has been a champion only because he's a rabid dog. Tywin himself said that he only kept Gregor around because it was useful to have someone like that, who literally had no sense of right and wrong. Gregor gives a new meaning to the word "brutal." And that's why he's a good fighter...

    SoST Round One: Victarion Greyjoy vs Loras Tyrell

    Not so sure about that. Actually, I'm probably the odd man out on this one, but I don't really like any of the Greyjoys. They're all inhuman and in a constant pissing contest that grates on my nerves.

    Anything's better than the Yankees. Enough already with the Yankees.

    Storm of Swords Tournament base of operations

    Baseball is about more than just making numbers go up. It's a thinking game. It's the smell of the grass, the expensive (cheap) beer, the constant heckling, the peanuts... it's an event, not just a game. If I want my blood to boil I'll go watch something blow up. And yes, Lacrosse is an...
