You can do a 7 day free trial, and I think if you try to cancel, they'll offer a month for free.
Nah, I think the end game will be the same in the books and show with a Stark retaking Winterfell, but the events leading up to it will be completely different. If Jon ends up King in the North (or any Stark really I guess) at the end of the season, then I'd say the GNC could still happen in the books.

I'm hoping we get some variation of Septon Meribald's Broken Man speech. I mean, we have Jaime and Brienne heading towards the Riverlands soon, Cleganebowl hype...it's the perfect timing for it.

So about Melisandre being Sheira Seastar....Mel was a slave (Melony Lot 7), so unless Sheira Seastar was captured and sold off as a slave like Tyrion, I don't think Mel could be her.

I don't think you can't stream ESPN3 from your mobile via chromecast. It doesn't support watchESPN app, and if I'm not mistaken you can't stream ESPN3 from chrome browser on mobile. I don't think you can stream from chrome browser on mobile anyway (except youtube), only laptop/pc. So if you want to stream ESPN3 you need to do it from your laptop.
As far as streaming from chrome browser, there are minimum system requirements to have a decent stream. Just tested espn3 on my laptop...it streams fine and I have the 2nd cheapest internet I could get lol.

Well, the Ironborn are First Men, so I think there definitely could be skinchangers there. As for the sea dragon, there's Nagga's Bones. But I read the the theory that Nagga's Bones may actually petrified weirwood, which may indicate that the Old Gods were worshiped there.
The Ironborn also hate ravens and associate them with the Storm God, who's always in conflict with the Drowned God. Then there's the theory that the Iron Islands were once attached to Westeros at one point and separated when the Children tried to bring down the Hammer on the Neck. Hence their hate for ravens, as ravens were associated with the Old Gods (the Children teaching First Men how to use them as messengers), but after a time came to associate ravens with the Storm God because of their water-based culture or w/e.

On the crown of the hill four-and-forty monstrous stone ribs rose from the earth like the trunks of great pale trees. The sight made Aeron’s heart beat faster. Nagga had been the first sea dragon, the mightiest ever to rise from the waves. She fed on krakens and leviathans and drowned whole islands in her wrath, yet the Grey King had slain her and the Drowned God had changed her bones to stone so that men might never cease to wonder at the courage of the first of kings. Nagga’s ribs became the beams and pillars of his longhall, just as her jaws became his throne.

There's also Egg's son Dunk who gave up the crown for Jenny of Oldstones (First Men). Jenny of Oldstones was friends with the woods witch (probably the Ghost of High Heart who said she had enough grief at Summerhall) that prophesized the PtwP.
They end up dieing at Summerhall probably trying to hatch a dragon.
I'll try to see if I can find the whole Summerhall theory that I read a while back. I may have gotten some of the details wrong :lol:

and what marked events was he alive during?
Sauron became more active in Dol Guldor around the same time Gollum found the ring. The White Council was formed with Saruman as it's leader. Galadriel and Gandalf were also a part of it.

Nope
You would think Bran would be able to at least recognize his voice unless it changed or something. I really hope Benjen isn't Coldhands.
And since we're talking about Benjen and the raven, here's what it had to say about Benjen:
I hope this doesn't mean what I think it means :wah:

quote:
“Yes,” said Jon, “but . . . what if . . .”
“. . . he’s dead?” Mormont asked, not unkindly.
Jon nodded, reluctantly.
“Dead,” the raven said. “Dead. Dead.”
“He may come to us anyway,” the Old Bear said. “As Othor did, and Jafer Flowers. I dread that as much as you, Jon, but we must admit the possibility.”
“Dead,” his raven cawed, ruffling its wings. Its voice grew louder and more shrill. “Dead.”(clash, p. 513)

Are all these actually present in ASOIAF? I know I read somewhere GRRM has a children story with an Ice Dragon, but I think its supposed to be a completely different world.
Well, they're all mentioned in asoiaf, but whether or not they exist is just speculation :lol:

In college I made a killing (relative) flipping stuff on craigslist. I would by just about anything I could get a deal on and resell it for a profit. There is no reason why some of you younger guys can't be doing this on a consistent basis. I made over 1k - 2k a month doing this. Averaged about an hour a day looking for deals and setting up meetings to buy and sell.
If you're not embarrassed, dumbster diving at apts near a college campus at the end of the semester. You'd be surprised at the shite students throw away because they can't fit everything in their car (or they live out of state and go home for the summer). I've seen perfectly good furniture, electronics like computers and tvs, etc.

I thought they were the River Kings?
Nah, they only became Lord Paramount after they helped Aegon in his conquest. Harren the Black was king over the Riverlands during the conquest. The Riverlands were fought over a lot I think, but the Tullys were never kings.
ETA:
The Tullys never reigned as kings, though they held rich lands and the great castle at Riverrun for a thousand years.

There are some theories that Mance Rayder was also there.
That's not really a theory, that's a fact. :lol: Unless Mance was lying, but I see no reason he'd have to lie about that.
NIH, the Tullys were never kings.
I wanna know how I made the list when I don't even post in any of the show threads :lol:

Will post the Riverland Lords soon. I can probably post what I have right now though. If you go to my public skydrive I started writing a summary of the GNC (not finished though).

Yeah and that's not even getting into Tolkien's other works like the Silmarillion which has incest and kinslaying.

My understanding is that dragonsteel is steel forged in the breath of a dragon while Valyrian steel is a process of roll forging it with the final appearance being like that of damascus steel.
Ah yeah that makes sense.
