Agreed. It was such a strange perplexing haze in the book, full of visions, prophecies, and illusions. As I read it I even thought it would translate poorly to television. I guess we'll find out.


i don't think anything can translate to screen worse than the trials sequence in "the magus"; i hope for your sake you don't know what i'm talking about. and don't ever try to find out.

If I had to live my life again, I'd do everything the same, except that I wouldn't see The Magus. - Woody Allen

shame, too, because i loved the book for the most part.

The shadows may be tricky, but as he falls he favors the other side of his chest. Hmm. Whatever.

- A bit of what I've read about Stannis around the webz has made me a bit perplexed about what the show's done with his motivations. At first glance of watching "Blackwater" you think 'holy shit - Stannis is a badass motherfucker!" However I forgot about what Varys mentioned to Tyrion earlier (that Stannis has employed Melisandre and potentially the ancient magic of the old world), and Varys' fear is genuine. By throwing that in there it sort of sets it up that Stannis charges into the battle so recklessly and indifferent to the wildfire because he is sure he won't die. He's the chosen one of R'hllor, so he's impervious to harm. The conflict with that is he never gave a fuck about the red god, and for all intensive purposes seems to only want to use Melisandre for getting the power he feels owed. The counter-argument to that is that Robert was an insane badass in the heat of battle, so this may simply be a display of the Baratheon trademark asskicking, but it's hard to say.

- I find it odd that Ser Loras, renowned for his intricate beautiful armor and, shall we say, fabulous style (as far as Westeros knights go, that is) is wearing simple dull plate for this battle. Not to say that Loras doesn't embrace the practical, it just seems like this would not be such a venue. Hmm.



I thought Loras was wearing Renly's armor in the tv version?

As for Stanis, isn't it possible for him to not really give a crap about the red god, but at the same time believe that he is blessed by the red god and therefore not going to be harmed? Personally, I just look at that scene as Stannis being a badass and going about that battle the same way he would any other battle. in the first couple books they always talk about what an amazing soldier/warrior stanis is.


fyi, grammar police wants you to know its "intents and purposes" not "intensive purposes". I thought the same thing till I wrote it in a paper first year of law school and was quickly rebuked.

That was the most civil grammar/spelling correction I have ever seen on this Board.

Nice bedside manner there, Dr. Shakes! :thumright: :thumright: :thumright:



I hate grammar police on a message board, but seeing that mistake made me think of when I did it so it was more of a heads up than a grammar correction. That way he won't do it again in a more formal setting where it actually matters.

don't feel stupid, its a real common error. Lots of people think its intensive purposes.

Another one that people screw up all the time is when they say "sooner than later" as opposed to the correct "sooner rather than later".

. . . I'd be more interested in how purposeful your intentions are.





For all intensive purposes. I hear this one all the time. It’s supposed to be “for all intents and purposes”, which makes more sense. The purposes you’re referring to aren’t intensive. You mean to say for any intent or purpose.

Sooner or later, for all intents and purposes, I couldn't care less what you do when you're lying low trying to avoid having a negative effect on society.



sooner OR later is a different saying, hence the word OR instead of THAN.

So I read an interview with GRRM today in Sports Illustrated (don't ask). In it he says that he has to get the next book out within 5 years. That leads me to believe the next book will come out in 4 years and 361 days.

So we might have a problem. If this show stays as popular as it is and if HBO doesn't fuck it up (the big if) we're gonna run into a problem in a few years where the show is going to run out of source material. Even if they stretch book 3 over 2 seasons and then stretch books 4 and 5 over a combined 3 seasons that still only gives us 5 years of material. I guess if the book comes out in 5 that would give them just enough time to make a season(s) based on book 6.

But, then what do they do?

Wait.

There were gaps of longer than a year for The Sopranos and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Not unusual with HBO shows.

This is awesome. I never knew that Theon has a famous sister, Lily Allen the british pop star. I just watched some of her videos and she's quite talented and hilarious.

Here's a link to a video for her song "Alfie" which is about Theon. Its very funny. from 2007 and she's encouraging him to stop smoking pot and go get a job. Looks like he did.

1. Where the hell are all the Tyrells?
2. Tormund Giantsbane's casting should be interesting.

There's a ton of characters missing from that list. Ramsay and the Boltons they really need to start pushing.
