Are all the books like that where a certain event is from a single persons pov. Or are certain events shown from multiple points of view. Who's point if view was the battle of blackwater shown from.


Sometimes it's from a single person and sometimes it's not (as Glass said). The Battle of Blackwater was covered by multiple. And it's always interesting to see how the story is told from the different point of views. Especially past events and how each person reacts to them.

Me too. I really enjoy Tyrion, Arya, and Jon's chapters.

Sansa's are unintentionally entertaining. She goes from talking about how Joffrey is her sweet prince to wanting to push him off a ledge . And she talks about lemon cakes frequently.

BTW, does anyone want to tell me what was so spoiler-y about my posting of Dany's names.


Because you posted it in the non reader thread & it was about next week's episode. Just because they are non readers, doesn't mean they don't know how to use google search.

And because they've specifically asked for no info outside of what is shown on the show to be posted in that thread.

After watching reaction vids containing readers watching with non readers I think it's funny that the scene becomes a metaphor for that with the non readers being the Starks and the readers being Walder. GRRM I guess is tywin.

Tyrion & Arya are my favorite two. I do enjoy Jon & Jamie, imo they improve as the books go forward. Davos is the most underrated, gives you the most insight into the Lord of Light, Stannis, pirates, and the view of a common man.

People really liked Robb and Cat that much??


I never liked Cat, but I always was rooting for Robb after Ned dies. In the books, I think he was only 15 or so, and he went straight up against Tywin.

Bad arse character. He was just young and didn't understand politics. Very sad.

I don't like Cat either, especially after reading her POV's. However I felt very bad for her during the RW, seeing her son die like that and having zero hope that any of her other children were safe/alive.

It's the title of the episode, and I wasn't the one who first posted it. I can't be the only one who googled.

Good discussion, but I do want to remind everyone going forward that it's okay to talk about which POVs you like, but try to not to give any indication of that character's POV in the future or even if that character is still alive or not.

Discussion should only contain info from books up to this point in the story.

You didn't post anything that bad, but there will always be a few in the nonreader thread that react harshly to any information that wasn't contained within the show. They prefer to not know things and I believe their wishes should be respected. Those that like to know little nuggets that don't really spoil anything, like what "Mhysa" means, can come ask in this thread.

Let them overreact. No need to do so yourself.
