A Game of Thrones ***SPOILERS*** read at own risk

That's not a spoiler, that's just a guess. Lots of speculation if there are even supposed to be three riders, let alone who those three are supposed to be. Jon even being considered as a possible rider is all predicated on one very unproven thing right now anyway...

I thought Rich Man, Poor Man and Roots were pretty good series...ijs

Oh and North and South. Leslie-Anne Down was fucking hot in that one.

I've read the books as they've come out, and then re-read 1-4 when 5 was released. If you can find the time, you should read them again. I was amazed at how many details I missed the first time, and how much more everything made sense.

SPOILERS BELOW



If Jon's wounds were mortal, and it certainly looks like they were, I think Melisandre will bring him back. So who do you think his parents were? I reckon Lyanna Stark is his mother, but I'm confused about who his father is. Rhaegar Targaryen seems the obvious choice, but then why doesn't Jon have blonde hair? Could he actually be a Baratheon? The seed was strong, after all.

I think Arya will come back with Dany. I'm basing that only on gut feeling, but I think I'm looking forward more to the reading the reunion with Nymeria than anything else likely to come.

So did your breath catch in your throat a little bit when it looked like Tyrion was about to drown?

Or just don't click on a thread that says spoilers, read ar own risk.

I was just treated to a theory that it will be Arya, Dany, and Tyrion on the dragons by someone that agrees with the Melisandre resurrection idea.

I've reread all of them many time. I had an email address fir about five years name checking Arya, she is my favorite. I don't think he is lyannna's son at all. I think he is the baby that got smushed. He is dark because he is a Martel/Targaryen.

I will never cry over Tyrion, but I burst into tears for Jon. All of the cast for the show has taken over my mental pictures of the characters and I don't mind it in the least.

Sorry terrible errors in this, on iPad and rushing out the door.

Yeah, I know. And, you're right, of course. As I said, I realize I didn't have to click the link. I'm sure a part of me just wanted to know. Many things are like that in life . . . Many other discussion boards encourage the obfuscation of "spoiler" info, and since I know that you're well-versed online, I did kind of expect (or just took for granted) that you would have placed the text in such a manner.

No biggie. I really haven't found book five as engaging as the first four.

It appears that in cliffbeefcake, you've found someone to talk to . . .

Kisses,

No tears for Tyrion? Damn ... I don't know if we can be friends. ;-) Seriously though, he's probably one of my favorite characters, along with Jon and Arya. He's just so beautifully honest about who and what he is, and the perfect counterpoint to his idiot sister.

You think Jon is Martel/Targaryen, eh? IIRC, Gregor boasted about killing the kids when the Lannisters sacked King's Landing. I can't see him keeping that kind of secret...he was a total prick. And it looks like he's back too. For the most part, I wish the dead characters would stay dead.

So if Jon isn't Lyanna's kid, what secret did she want Ned to keep?

There were so many deaths, even at the end, that I can't positively say which particular one is causing you the most anxiety! You should start a thread if it needs to be discussed!

I'm upset it was cancelled, but the ratings were lukewarm and going up against PETA after five horses died (over both seasons - two died in season 1 and three by the end of filming the second episode of season 2) . . . well, not many avenues to save the series were available.

Thats the way I felt about Deadwood, loved the dialogue:

"Pain or damage doesn't end the world, or despair or fuckin beatings. The world ends when you are dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store, stand it like a man, and give some back." Al Swearingen to the newspaper man Merrick after he was beaten and his newpaper office ransacked. Al had some of the best lines!

Agreed - David Milch is fracking brilliant.

Y'all have convinced me to pick up the books tomorrow. I'm gonna hold off on checking out the series though until I've finished them. How many are there?
