[House Targaryen: Fire And Blood]

Here's a family tree. Scroll to the bottom for Dany and co.

Edit: Yikes, sorry to anyone I spoiled. So used to using the spoiler threads, I completely blanked. Sorry!

 

Mod Note: This family tree includes characters from the books not mentioned on the show. Click at your own risk.

[Continued Adventures: The Fanfic Thread]

I think there was a comic-con interview last year when Lana came up with Hooker Queens [Hook/Regina]

 

Lazy person that I am, I just copied and pasted "Hooker Queens" to search AO3. Turns out the "s" makes a very significant difference in the search results. *squirms*

[Continued Adventures: The Fanfic Thread]

Question: What exactly are Lieutenant Duckling stories? Seems like they're all over AO3. I can't decide if they're AUs of Killian still in the royal navy, or if they're just pre-Liam's death stories.

I'm not a huge reader of fanfic but I Want to Start a Petition! kills me because it's so right on. It's random people of Storybrooke essentially writing letters to the editor and bitching about all of the crap that goes on in town.

That was fun. And reinforces my belief that the locals keep a wary eye on the royals so they'll know when to activate the phone tree.

[True Blood Spoilers and Spoilery Discussion]

New trailer. No Eric yet, but it's nice to see the rest of the gang.

[True Blood: Final Season Wish List]

As a rule, I only like Bill around other people (especially Jessica). And Sookie bugs me 99% of the time. And yet, I'm rooting for those two to end up together. *shrug* I think it's mainly nostalgia - nothing on this show is as good as it used to be, so thinking back to season 1 when they were getting to know each other and everything was simpler, makes me smile. I absolutely get why everyone else is hoping they stay apart, though.

[S02.E07: Blood Eagle]

Are we to assume that the Seer's missing eye is in the eye of the raven that was spying on Athelstan?

I like the idea that his knowledge comes from sending his eyes out in the shape of ravens, but if the gods truly speak to him then he may not need to. Odin used two ravens to spy on the world every day and report events to him. (Hence Athelstan's look when a raven appeared at his broken window.)

Athelstan has had such a journey in these two seasons. It'll be interesting to see where he settles by the end of the series (if he survives). In England he is intellectually stimulated but I'm not sure if it's enough. Poor guy.

[Spoiler Discussion: The apple was poisoned?!]

So either Neal isn't a monkey or Rumple doesn't know he's a monkey, right? Otherwise he wouldn't let Charming hurt it like that.
