Ya it's been posted already in the book section
That's an understatement...but I digress
Probably my least favorite book in the series but it was still pretty damn good. The new installment follows more of the storylines/characters that weren't covered in Feast for Crows due to space issues (Martin had to divide the content into two separate books apparently). Can't wait to pick this up tomorrow
That eddard stark "honor" shit serves no purpose when your enemy operates by any means necessary. But little finger is a one man wrecking crew, dude is no joke. And I thought twyin lannister stood alone when it came to scheming.

Ya I gained a measure of respect for him...haven't read all the books...but I cheated ahead...wish I hadn't...

he was a soldier messin around with politicians, like eisenhower or ulysses s. grant or someshit, just wasnt his game.
im only half way through storm of swords, they're kind of loosing me because the progression of the story has gone to a crawl. Or atleast the progression of the characters i like.
Storm of swords is my favorite one so far, keep reading
, the entire complexion of the game changes......... I'm just pissed that the feast for crows barely covers what is going down at the wall when things start to take off.Supposedly the dance of dragons tells things from jon's point of view, he does not have any chapters in the feast for crows.

That shit was infuriating

Fuck ole boy George for thinking that was a great idea to completely leave out Jon when shit was starting to get real at castle black. I have some guesses to who cold hands is but brans chapters should clear that up.
Just picked up A Dance With Dragons earlier today. Jon, Dany, Tyrion and Theon are in it. Its great so far by the way.
Game of Thrones is nominated for 13 Emmy's including Best Drama and Best Supporting Actor nominee Peter Dinklage(Tyrion)
If this dont get atleast 6 or 7 Emmy's which includes best Drama Im kicking somebody's ass

Isn't this show going up against "Boardwalk Empire"?
The Dance of dragons is pretty good so far. I see someone long thought dead has made a appearance.

Im still stuck on the first Theon chapter in the second book(its been 2 months now)....my god dayum computer wont let me read or listen to it...

You can't skip the chapter? Here is a good site where you can read chapter summaries if you don't feel like reading a particular chapter.

That is him
Finished the series in one day, and it was fucking epic
A Clash of Kings (2nd book) and A storm of swords (3rd book) are fire. Season 2 and 3 will be just as good or better. Book 4 A feast for Crows was meeeeeh.
This is exactly how i took it too. He was a different breed totally out of his element. Playing by rules he knew and lived his life by. In a place where the rules were totally different. Robert knew this and it's kind of why i don't like about this story is that Robet knew how Ned was. Robert himself was once like Ned.
So why did Rob subject Ned to this type of place KNOWING what Ned was going to be up against.
That just bothers me and it's like the 1 flaw i see in this story.
Im wondering is that a fake titty...I cant imagine it being real
Looks real. But yeah i can't imagine it being real either and having the child suckin on it like that. But even if it's fake it's still kinda freakish....I mean in a real life stance. I'm not letting my 12 yr old suck on some woman's titty if i'm the mother of the actor.
That's just..........cmon man.
He brought him in because of selfish reasons, robert even alluded to that much in the show and book. He was tired of dealing with the bureacracy, scheming, and deceit so he called upon eddard his best friend to deal with it and give it to him straight as the hand of the king. Robert trusted no one else and Eddard was closer to him then roberts own blood brothers stannis and ridley.
Furthermore, although Robert had been the king for 14 years or so he was still a soldier at heart and even he was still ignorant to the level of treachery which enveloped him despite years of hands on experience. Recall that robert was totally oblivious about all of the children he shared with ceirce being the progeny of her brother Jaime. Yet varys and little finger knew because they knew how to play the game and relied on cunning whereas Robert preferred brute strength to overwhelm his advisories.
Thanks. Yeah i get it now. I think i wanted to see a big difference between Robert and Ned. But i guess really there isn't 1. Not as big a 1 as i thought.
I saw it from your point of view until I started reading the books. I asked myself why would he bring his closest friend into this type of world knowing he was not built for it. They both approached matters as if they were on a battlefield but that type of thinking does not always jive well in politics. Ned and Robert are pretty much cut from the same cloth however years on the thrown made Robert disregard any shred of honor he once had. He went completely downhill after raising a rebellion to remove the targaryens from the thrown because of neds kidnapped sister and slain kin at the hands of the mad king and prince rhaegar.
Double post
at the last couple of chapters in the dance of dragons. Damn.
The new rule when reading this series is that if a character's death or apparent death happens "off screen" and no physical body parts are around to confirm the death, then it's better than 50% chance that that character is not dead.
My Quick Reaction (2/3 through the book)
1. The Dornish are no joke. They got more schemes than anyone (Almost on the level of Varys)
2. Jon Snow is learning to play the game very well.
3. Danarys is kinda meh this time around after going buckwild in Book 3. I suspect their will be a cliff hanger ending with her toward the end
4. Tyrion is still funny and clever, but no Bronn to back him up means he takes his lumps
5. Lord Vary's has his hand in every damn thing
There's no way this series comes intact to the small screen. Its just too big with too many characters now. I predict the whole Dorne element gets cut from the Tv series if it makes it past season 2.

most of this will change when you finish reading the novel - but Dany was playing like a sucker in this book, I think she really started to doubt herself because of the way things developed and because of what happened with Jorah. Jon is doing good, but he doesnt understand how much people hate change and they react very poorly to rapid change...
Varys! ftw!
As for Dorne... Yeah they can do it - just look at the world that was built in The Wire, every season they made the world larger, adding more characters, more history, more relationships. By the last season you had a dense world that couldn't be fully comprehended or appreciated by a viewer unless they watched the previous 4 seasons. There is noway anyone could understand or appreciate a Dance with Dragons, without reading the previous novels.
Besides the direction the story is going it will be impossible to leave out Dorne
Wont see me awhile until I catch up
i finished a dance with dragons yesterday...................
the body count is kinda low, but the cliffhangers are nuts....
for a eunuch varyas has big ass balls
