Insomnia

I'm wondering if the show is a prequel of sorts for the comic book.

But if that' the case he can't be King in the North, and killed for being a deserter. The vows only go to death. His watch has ended.

Dany is a woman. Targaryen rule has always been patriarchal. The one time there was a female heir a whole lotta dragons died.

Except burning to death at the stake is probably a lot worse than being burned to death by dragon fire. When you're burned to death at the stake, all the hot fumes and smoke end up killing you before the fire does and you are incredible pain. That's why Shireen and Mance were both screaming as it happened, it takes a long time. Dragon breath is hot enough to melt stone - that's what happened to Harenhal. They were alive for seconds before they were ash. Beheading by sword isn't exactly better either - look at Theon hacking over and over again when he tried it. And hanging? Sometimes the neck doesn't quite break and you can dangle there for hours before you actual die. Dragon fire seems to be one of the more humane ways to kill your enemies. Gruesome, sure, but war isn't exactly gentle.

My fanwank for that is that that Bran can see blood relatives without a tree - that's how he was able to see Winterfell in the past as it wasn't right next to the tree either.

And now he's starting a film studio.

I really didn't like how creepy and obsessive Steve was last year, but to be fair to Steve this year, he didn't pick out CJ, Matt picked her out for him. They found each other girlfriends. So on one hand, Matt is the best wingman ever and really knows his friend's tastes, on the other hand he's pawning off a discount DJ on to his rival, so he can go for the real thing.

Tyrion Demands a Trial by Dance - Game of Thrones - Alternative ending

Forget coming back to life, tonight we just watched the rebirth of Jon when he was climbing out of that pile of bodies. Also while not exactly a star shape those burning flayed bodies were there, salt and smoke from the battle, and Jon's sword was very bright red from all the blood when he was approaching Ramsey, not al dark and dirty blood like... everywhere else.

I call bullshit on Littlefinger not having a clue what Ramsey is like. Their sigil that they chose to present to the world is a flayed man. Sure, this is a world where people lob off other people's heads and stick them on spikes, but no one else chose a beheaded man on a pike as a sigil. You have animals, and flowers, and fish, and a flayed man. That stands out. There were flayed people when they arrived at Winterfell on display. Do you really need to know about Ramsey's hunts at this point to know you are dealing with a family of sick fucks? Even if he doesn't know anything about the son, he knows something about the father. It's not like they hire people to flay for them, and then put it on their banners. "I haven't heard anything about him really, but he removes all the skin off a person while they are still alive? I bet once you get to know him he's very cuddlesome. I'm sure the people he's flayed were very bad people and they deserved. I'm sure he completely regrets having to do it as well." Please. Anyone who knows what the banner of House Bolton is knows what kind of people they are. Even if you use Ramsey as being recently legitimized as an excuse, this show has gone out of it's way to point out family traits. Flaying is the Bolton thing.

Are we really spoilering things from the game trailer of a game that's now out on all of the operating systems it's going to be on? Seems a bit excessive to me. I'll see myself out of this thread.

...

Right, as far as he knows that's what happened; he doesn't know that Gared and his father talked after he left. Britt assumed (as did Gared) that the father was dead. ...And Britt is a dick. Gared gets there, sees his father, they fight, whomever leaves leaves, Gared's father tell Gared about his sister and dies. Having a heart to heart with enemies still standing around. So it's continually correct so far as Britt knows.

No, when he glances over there, he knows she is dead. Gared says a few times "He killed my family." not that he killed his father. Plus Britt is an asshole so even if it wasn't true, he'd probably brag about it.

It's only Episode 3. I'm hoping things will pick up before the end. But yeah, I really don't know who is more miserable; the Starks or the Forresters at this point. Right now the saying shouldn't be "Nice guys finish last" but "Nice guys finish so far back they loop around to the front, except they still don't win." It's just been an endless parade of misery. I've decided to be bad with Mira, and damn the consequences!

Since I've never been above self-promotion, I'll be streaming this tomorrow night around 9:30ish EST, for those who can't wait.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow! (On the PC anyway) Trailer included in the link.

And to go along with the cover: GoT cast explains the first 4 seasons in 30 seconds.

Not only catch a lighter, but catch a lighter only a few inches above a fume-less pool of gas that had just moments before the fumes had been choking her. Yeah, I know, it's TV, I can suspend disbelief that the lighter could that close and not set everything off... if she hadn't just been coughing because of it. That's just... so bad. I'm saying Antonio probably rightfully has a little sibling rage in there, and at least at the time might have been as disappointed as us that Gabby caught it.

Well, they are Stark Bannermen so...

I've decided to wait for the rest to come out because, as with other Telltale games I will eventually play each part over eleventy billion times by the time things are over. And that'll just make me crave the show more. I know because it already has and the other games didn't.

It depends really on when I'm playing it; if I have to wait months between games, I'm likely going to replay it again anyway to freshen it in my memory. If I can play all in one playthrough, I will usually pick a path and stick to it. The current setup of Pick a save, copy it and move it and then go back makes it easy (and last longer). I think by this point the books and the show are they same story, but told by slightly different people, so they can't really be equated to the things in the books. They may be more advance and or noble then the books, but whatever is in the books isn't likely to come about in the series (probably at all, so it's easy to stick them into a game.) There is so much that has been left out of the books, that it would be easy for a game family to replace a book family. And TV viewers would never know. The way I see books and movie or TV shows is: You get a couple of people who see something happen, then they go off and tell other people about it. Eye witnesses are not always accurate, and people like to embellish stories, and they might cut out bits people find boring. There is always a narrator even if we, the audience can't hear them. Silent narrator or no, if we read it or watch it, we're being told a story. That's why we have little differences like Tyrion's nose; people remember things slightly different ways. (The Knick showed they could have done it, although the show is stupid expensive as it is, it is a change.) It doesn't really alter the story all that much, and people only hearing one version of the story wouldn't know any different. Either that or parallel worlds. Did you wake up today and decide to push a kid out of a window after he caught you having incestuous sex with your sister? No? Bam! new world.

I did all the choices. Load up a game to a new save, go back to whichever part, make a new choice. (But I actually didn't do that,on any playthrough now that I think about it. I should, at least once!)

The start of to mid February-ish? I believe the schedule is to be every 5 to 8 weeks.
