it would make her more popular with some, does anyone actually like the lannisters?

Well this has taken off while RL has intruded for me. Doesn't it always?

It is known.

OP posts:
ValarMorghulis · 09/01/2012 20:44

not even the Lannisters like the Lannisters.

Grin very true.

10 Signs You Have Been Reading Too Much George R. R. Martin

We have all admitted to number three I think. Haven't thought of a direwolf name though.

I'll admit to 6, 8 and 9 and I've definitely pondered what I would name a direwolf Blush

ValarMorghulis · 09/01/2012 21:25

2 - well i have pondered the feasability of its use.

3 hell yeah. i also begged my folks to name their new great Dane puppy drogo, they opted for Mo instead. i was displeased.

5 - its a red peony on a feild of green

6 - and lannister and targeryian and stark and..........

  1. erm. well, maybe one or twice Blush
  1. old. all the way. i think its all about the beauty of nature and mother earth.
  1. if they printed one in my size, i would wear it.
DaenerysTargaryen · 09/01/2012 21:27

drogo would be an awesome name for a great dane...

ValarMorghulis · 09/01/2012 21:31

i thought so.
and he's the size of a direwolf, and he's black.

they were unswayed though.

MotherofDragons · 09/01/2012 21:43

Im trying to persuade dh that we need another dog. and he will be named after a direwolf.

but Ive done 9 of those things... and I want a t-shirt to wear in bed Blush

That bit in the television series when Jaime has been captured and tells Rob that they could end it all in single combat with a weapon of his choice.

I really wish Rob had said, "Certainly. I choose my giant wolf!"

I'd like to see Dany end up with Jon Snow. She's only (possibly) his aunt so that's quite tame for a Targaryen.

OP posts:
MotherofDragons · 09/01/2012 21:48

I'd love a Dany/Jon combo too. agree re Robb/Grey Wind's fate. I actually sobbed.

ValarMorghulis · 09/01/2012 21:56

Oh jon has sooo got to defeat the Others so that the wall will no longer be needed thus ending his vow. Then he can go and become the lord of Winterfell (Bran isn't able to and Rickon is too young) get married to someone fabulous (ooh Daenerys would be awesome) wife and become king of the North, if not the sevon kingdoms.

I want jaime to marry Brienne, the marriage would do wonders for the saphires of tarth and i think they are bizaarly well suited and secretly (even to themselves) in love.

DaenerysTargaryen · 09/01/2012 22:00

i don't really like brienne or jaime i'm not sure why really but i agree they are in love

i forgot all about bran and rickon, i hope brans story comes more to liight in DWD.. does it?

DaenerysTargaryen · 09/01/2012 22:02

and dany/jon would be good its a shame dany can't have children though

and i hated the direwolves dying, i still can't believe he did it :(

ValarMorghulis · 09/01/2012 22:03

Oh and as for the rob/greywind thing. I actually put the book down at that stage and couldn't read again for a day or so.

Why oh why could Dondarion have kissed Rob instead of Catelyn.

MotherofDragons · 09/01/2012 22:03

The Stark links to the first men and old gods would mean that he (if anyone) could defeat the others. he has that invisible link. especially if he discovers that he can shapeshift too. I reckon that coldhands is Benjen.

and agree that Brienne and jaime should just be able to be in love, and be happy. I love Jaime (incest and attempted child-murder aside) and now that he is no longer under Cersei's control is a much better man.

MotherofDragons · 09/01/2012 22:04

Dany, Bran is MAJOR in ADWD.

DaenerysTargaryen · 09/01/2012 22:08

coldhands is DEFO benjen

ValarMorghulis · 09/01/2012 22:08

yup. Brans story is told further in DWD.

As for Dany having babies, Maegre Magi (or whatever she was called) was quite a bitter and spitefull woman. The curse could be nothing more than the rantings of an old woman.

or she could be blessed by maggy the frog for returning peace to westeros, or well, anything. I can't see the end of the dragon bloodline with her though

I sobbed when I realised that Jon switched the babies Sad

Wonder if Dany can actually have children. The prophecy could come true in a roundabout way.

OP posts:
ValarMorghulis · 09/01/2012 22:11

agree, Jaime is a much more rounded and far less evil character without Cersei and with the influence of Brienne. I awwed at him giving her Oathkeeper. (that was my first name on here)

But then again i really like Tyrion so im obviously a bit warped.

and yes, Benjen is definitly Coldhands

ValarMorghulis · 09/01/2012 22:13

I was sad that Aemon didn't get to meet Daenerys. I loved his character. I just wished he would have told Jon things rather than speak in riddles. Would have solved soo much.

WinterIsComing · 09/01/2012 22:21

Jaime is only just coming alive to me. Everything about his place in life was linked to Cersei and now he's questioning it all.

Anyone ever noticed the many references to hands?

Jaime's hand

Coldhands

Hand of the King

Littlefinger

Davos

DH and I came up with about ten once but I can't remember them all now Confused

OP posts:
DaenerysTargaryen · 09/01/2012 22:23

i like tyrion too valar, he does make me laugh!

i was sad for aemon too and agree about the riddles, also nearly died holding my breath that time that jon and bran were so close by the lake with the tower!
