Don't worry, he'll bring back that title for book 8 or 9.

It's ok, he doesn't know what he's doing anyway. He's probably changed his mind on what the book is about 10 times.

I don't think he was planning that far ahead when he thought of the title in the 90s.

Sorry that I don't think a girl who would be in the bottom 10% of any college class I've taken looks wise is pretty. If she was some big name or an amazing actress, or at least looked like she could fight I could ignore it.
Tyrion isn't a lord, he holds no lands or titles. He's just highborn.
Her and Brienne i would date over those 10/10 shallow whores who bitch about never getting nice guys but date jocks who treat them like trash.

But he's the Hand, which I believe earns the "Lord" title?

Small council members receive an honorary lordship title. Even Varys is called a lord sometimes.

I'm sure this has been posted, but it deserves a re-post. Jerome Flynn/Bronn is straight money.
This made me laugh out loud. Salute to you sir.
That is too badass to be true.

It was true for years.
i knew he was a singer, but that dance... does every Game of thrones actor have an embarrassing dance in their past or something?
So far we have Maise's dance (its been gif'd somewhere), we have Lord Tywin's dance (lololol) and now we have Bronn's little shuffle step thing. If someone will gif that too, we can start systematically ruining every character in the series for everyone

Bitches love smiley faces
Someone should make a super gif of Tywin, Arya, and Bronn staring and dancing.

Saw the first GOT graphic novel collection at my local bookstore.
Anyone who wants to "see" the story adapted closer to the books should definitely read that. It's almost scene-for-scene copied from the book.
And tons and tons of nudity.
The art is really really ugly though. :/

That shuffle step is fantastic. :lol
Sounds like something someone would have thrown together on tumblr.
Indeed.

Honestly these videos make me love their characters all the more. Especially Lily Allen's "Alfie."
And, damn, I knew about Bronn's secret life of song and dance, but I didn't realize until that Up On The Roof video that Robson of Robson & Jerome was this guy: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0338292/ He was pretty badass in Being Human and Touching Evil.
They should totally cast him in Game of Thrones. *Series spoilers*
He could be an awesome Tom of Sevenstreams!
Yes, the festering wound that is Fancasting has been re-opened.
Oh fucking hell. I want that title back!

Do you live in bad stereotype land? I feel bad for you.
So awkward...
Especially because it's an older gentleman reading. This is the guy who plays the pyromancer in the show right? That makes it even more unnerving.
I can understand that. I don't think the show would be as popular as it is now if it was called A Song of Ice and Fire. Game of Thrones works for non-fantasy fans. Of course, the trick to it being (series spoiler)
the series ends up with all sorts of magic and dragons and zombies and other fantasy creatures
But "Game of Thrones" does give it a more mature aura to it. Fantasy is usually treated as something for a younger audience I think.
Unless you're blind I can't even begin to comprehend why someone would subject themselves to that.

It does inspire awesome images for the imagination. I can see why the new title might've been preferred, but that title would've been cathartic.

A Song of Ice and Fire: Fuck You
Game of Thrones: Go Fuck Yourself

Fuck A Dream of Spring. If the book ever comes out, I'm going to take out a fat sharpie and cross it out and write "A Time for Wolves"

But what if it doesn't turn out to be a time for wolves?
It'll just be another case of GRRM trolling. Like he's been doing for a long time now.

He won me in Blackwater. BAMF status.
Part of me still will always hate Stannis for murdering his brother though.

If all these people who want to be on the throne stood in a line for me to choose to go for, I'd vote for him. He carries himself like a strong person.
And now HBO presents: Hodor.
Varys' speech about what an evil man Stannis is was not very convincing. He was much more convincing as a dickwad in ACoK.

I didn't like Stannis in the books. But the last episode changed my perception of him entirely. (To people who haven't read the books: In Clash of Kings, you didn't get to see what Stannis was doing in the war because that part of the story was told through two viewpoints: Tyrion and Davos. Neither was close to Stannis.) If he's actually capable of backing his shit up, I've had the wrong opinion of him. I was rooting for him in the episode. If he had won and sentenced to death all of the head Lannister people (even Tyrion) and the series just ended like that, I would have considered that to be mostly a good ending.

TV Stannis is not only cool as hell, tv Davos is awesome too. It would take something huge to make people dislike them. Even with Melisandre doing weird shit.
That was one of my favorite parts of the episode--the fact that GRRM was able to free himself from the constraints of the POVs and give a more complete picture of the battle. And since GRRM himself wrote it, hopefully the unreasonably hardcore fans will STFU about it not following the book exactly.
If all of his episodes are going to be this good, I don't care if writing it delays the release of TWoW.

This was an episode about a big battle, the major credit goes to the director who actually had to orchestrate all this. GRRM is a good television writer but he is not the best one on the show. I prefer David and Dan but the problem is they are straying from the books. I'm a broken record at this point.
Major ASOS and minor ADwD spoilers
I always liked how Stannis' moral code of good acts not undoing bad ones, and bad ones not undoing the good that he imparts to Davos is so echoed in his own acts. The destruction he caused murdering Renly versus the good he does in saving the Wall against the Wildlings and fighting to free the North from the ironmen and the Boltons.
Ya, need more Stannis. The very first scene where he is like make sure to call him Kingslayer, it is what he is and then but call him Ser also as he is still a knight. You are right, he just doesn't give a fuck. He is like that in the books too but I guess it comes off as stronger when an actor plays him just straight deadpan. Series Spoiler
I really hope he doesn't die.

Not exactly saying much there if you ask me.
lol, true. Are there any blood Baratheon sisters of Robert, Stannis and Renly?
