Yeah that guy looks like he just fought a few hundred men.
Who are you to need some help, with songs stuck in your head?
Just a quote with a different post, replying to this thread.
Nope. It is only those three.

That's something thats been bugging me about Arya all season long. She's got a fantastic short hair cut! She looks like someone who does her hair everyday.
Then again they completely botched Arya so no surprise there.

Arya is going to suffer plenty over the next two seasons. I personally don't mind that they used her for a few episodes to give more time to Tywin. Keep in mind that the alternative doesn't really make for good television. We would see her suffering but it would be repetitive and hardly do much for other characters/storylines.
Yeah that high five she gave him after entering the throne room this last episode was a bit over the top.
I love show-Stannis. I've been saying in this thread how the show version of him has been winning me over the last few weeks. I really enjoy him. I didn't in the books.
Well... Renly was kind of stuck up and annoying. What kind of claim is "I'm going to be king because no one likes you"? And then when Stannis confronts him, all he does is make jokes at his brother and act like he's everything. Stannis offered him a high position and to name him heir until one is born. But Stannis' wife doesn't seem able to give children, which is why he hasn't had one yet.
But no. That's not good enough for Renly. He has to be king even though he has no right to be. Why? Because Loras was all like "you'd be a good king!"
I dislike Renly. I dislike the Tyrells. Even more than the Lannisters (except Joffrey).

Rely would have been a weak king too. All flash and no substance.

Does it ever come up who his hand would have been? A weak but charismatic king with a good hand and small council would have been a very good thing.
Oh you know it would have been Loras.

Loved that scene.
"Don't like cats, but I like dogs. Dogs are loyal, but we ate them too."
:lol
I always assumed it would be (series)
Mace Tyrell. I figured that was part of the agreement that made the alliance.

Loras is Kingsguard, but you can bet he would have given him a hand all the same littlefingersmugrenlymad.gif
Good call. A weak king with a strong lord as hand and the current small council? Would have done better than Robert at the least.

The book easily shows how much of a perpetual-stick-up-the-ass insufferable guy he is. Show-Stannis has shown him as more of the hardline man-of-few-words type.

Oh they'll totally throw The Bear And The Maiden Fair in somewhere.
I love the blatant Desperate Housewives spoilers on the side of that article. Good thing I don't watch that show.

Yup, getting towards that part of the week where the GoT news is getting a little thin.

Renly was warned. Plus his claim to throne was weak.
It was a war, Stannis did what had to be done. That kill wasnt really a murder either, it was preemptive self defence. If assassinating an enemy commander meant winning a battle without a single one of your men dying, you'd do it too.
I mean, Renly was killed as he was suiting up to go out and fight his brother's army, he was a soldier in a theatre of war and was a totally legitimate target.
now the sorcery behind it, I'll agree that was pretty suspect and somewhat underhanded. but the decision to kill Renly? Nope, dont have a single issue with it.

This is slightly off topic but, I have read books 1-3 twice, and both times I've gotten to book 4, I've lost interest about halfway through.
I've never really seen what the reaction to book 5 is. Can someone convince me to power through book 4 to get to 5? Or did book 5 turn out to be a disappointment?

You have to take Books 4 and 5 as basically one long book. The POVs are split between the books and they actually take place simultaneously.
So if you want to see what happens to (ASOS spoilers)
Tyrion, Jon, and Dany
I personally enjoyed AFFC/ADWD, but some people hate them with a passion. There are lots of excellent/exciting parts IMO, although there are also admittedly some lulls.
I remember having a lot of trouble with A Feast for Crows too. I think it was because there were no
chapters if I remember.
I may speak bitterly about the book because of that. I wait years and years to hear more about my favourite characters and when the book finally comes out, I got nothing.
Jon or Tyrion

Just because it would have been repetitive doesn't mean that they had to ignore it completely. Outside of being initially imprisoned at harrenhal, her stay there was otherwise pretty damn easy on the show compared to the book. It really only need one good scene to get the point across. (series)
not that I really am complaining, she does indeed have a lot of shit that goes down from this point on, hopefully it doesn't involve the hound making her a well cooked meal and giving her a bath...
In regard to Feast, The final 300 or so pages were in my opinion pretty damn good, but getting to that point was tough just because in my opinion, half of the POV characters just weren't that interesting and yet a lot of time is spent on these less interesting POVs (granted they were all interesting towards the end)
Unless she's PMSing. Then she'll come at you with fire and blood.
Fixed that for you.
She will take whats hers with
FIRE AND BLOOD!!!
Dany is all talk and no game. She speaks how shes mother of dragons, the last targariean, khalessi to the dothraki but never does anything about it.

If I was those Qarth guys I would have just killed her at the gates for making such an empty threat.

This show has too many hot people.
There's the fucking King right there.
Since I read all 5 books back to back over the course of a summer I easily saw AFFC and ADWD as one giant book.
That said IF I had waited 5+ years for each book? I'd probably be mad as well.
Don't forget, it was actually an 11 year-old wait to find out what happened to some characters.
