re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

Some new casting news:

Ralf Kenning

I'm really curious to see what they do with Asha's story. Skip over the Kingsmoot completely? Do the Kingsmoot out of order--like when she finds out Balon died, does she head back to the Iron Islands and find Euron Crow's Eye hanging out?

Theres lots you can do indoors

Just realized that I had a brain cramp on an earlier post. I think that HBO / D&D will stretch this out because of MONEY, not Martin. The series is a huge hit and I don't believe that any of them would be against an extra season.

If it gets stretched out that much, people will stop watching it realizing its a bunch of watered down bullshite. If they want an extra season or two, Robert's Rebellion is always ready and available. I'd much rather have spoilers that everyone has figured out from there rather than the general plot of the next two novels.

Completely agree. Plus D&D admitted that S5 will be the most difficult season for them to write. I think they both know that 4 & 5 are slow books and that will turn off the Hodors if they try to stretch those books into more seasons. S4 is going to be some of each of the remaining books and S5 will finish up 4 & 5. I think they start TWoW material in S6 whether Martin has his shite written or not.

Here's some info about the S3 dvd/bluray set; I'm sure someone will upload them on youtube like they did with the ones from the S1 and S2 sets:

Just found a hardcover copy of The Hedge Knight graphic novel (the Dabel Bros/ Marvel ed) for $45 at a used book store in Houston...the clerk got red-faced when I brought it to her...told me to wait a moment...argued with some dude behind the counter for a bit, then finally checked me out. I couldn't help but ask WTF? She looked embarrassed and mumbled something about professional courtesy being dead, and that she had never seen that book before...I told her it's a good read, there are two more, etc...she cuts me off and says have a nice day (translation: eat shite and die)turns and resumes ripping poor dude...

Googled it on the way home...I guess she thought it was a 1st ed. or some shite - it goes for about $400.

Does anyone here know more than I do about it? Doesn't appear to be that great of a treasure - nice addition to the collection, but missing the dust jacket even.

Maybe she just needs more moon tea?

The same store had a signed 1st ed Storm for $220. I can't afford a $200 decoration...

going for about $350

Yeah, I see the cheap prices I glanced were for the kindle...damn...wish it had the DJ- That lowers the value bigtime - even though I really wanted it as part of the collection.

The first ed. AGoT (first print)


$695

Crom!

Wish I had one...

I've been thinking about Jamie's redemption arc and I would like to see it include Jamie/Brienne rescuing Sansa and taking her to Jon Snow 2.0, and then Jamie coming full circle by pledging his life to Jon, Rhaegar's son.


But, of course, since I want this to happen, it definitely will not happen.



One more thought, if Jon were named the true King and he picked a Kingsgaurd, who would it be?

My Picks


-Jamie Lannister, "The Kingslayer": (for completion of hypothetical repemption arc)
-Brienne of Tarth: where Jamie goes, she goes. After all, she is his inspiration to gain back his honor.
-Bryden "Blackfish" Tully: Easily on of the best fighters and men ever. Personally, I saw him and Robb have a similar relationship as Jon and Qhorin. Additionally, I see this being brokered by Sansa Stark, after she may or may not be rescued by Jamie and Brienne or at the least requesting Jamie to have Edmure, his wife, and heir returned to either Riverrun or a place of Blackfish's choosing.
-Loras Tyrell, "The Knight of Flowers": After the fiasco that was Dragonstone, I believe that he is wounded and will heal or was totally safe to begin with and the nature of his wounds were exaggerated to satisfy Cersei. Furthermore, given the crazy bat that Cersei is combined with her attempts to displace Margery, I don't see Loras staying in this regime much longer. Not to mention Loras has always thristed for glory, so that might also motivate him to join Jon and fight the WW.
-Barristan "The Bold" Selmy: assuming that he survives the crossing of the narrow sea and then finds out and believes the truth of Jon's lineage, he will cross over to his side. This also means Dany realizing she isn't the entitled one. How that goes, no one knows.
-Benjen Stark: his uncle, and in this light he is coming back in a big way. My theory is that he has been operating as an agent of Bloodraven and the Children of the Forrest, scouring locations of dragonglass cashes and mines.
-?????

Anyways I put the chance of that happening from corset slim to none.
