Would there be an explanation for face stealing magic/glamours/resurrection/Other creation/Greensight that would satisfy you other than, "a wizard did it?"

I prefer the enigmatic form of magic GRRM uses. I like that it isn't some X input to Y output situation, then it becomes more like science or technology. GRRM stated that he wanted to avoid this. Magic being unpredictable and poorly understood partly because of the time of magic is over and much...

Books imply that the WW only started harassing the Wildlings for the past 20 years. Which is what drove Mance to unite all them in the first place. We can further read into it and think that some of the other Wildlings had Craster like arrangements in various places. Which the WW used to...

I think that makes even less sense. If the Wall must come down to defeat the threat it was meant to contain. Then why build the fucking thing? It failed at the only thing it was ever meant to do. Keep the supernatural threat of the WW out. Good at keeping out the comparatively harmless...

Then wouldn't you think that bringing him to the Wall knowing he is there to cross it is an extreme risk... Probably should just say, kid. Sorry but we need you. You also can't cross the Wall for the safety of the Realm. I wonder where BenjenHands and his horse stay anyway. I kinda figured...

Expanded Second Season? Awesome. I have a feeling this show will go down as being really underrated, but gain immense popularity after it concludes. The cinematography is truly superb and the storyline is more interesting than the way they're attempting to sell it to potential audiences. I...

Finished up placements. I don't understand the ranking to be honest. I have a 55% win rate overall and went 6/4 in the placement matches. Doing well individually every game (gold medals and shit). Playing Junkrat, Roadhog, Reinhardt, Lucio Rank 45. Totally fine with that.

Or BenjenHands could have mentioned it. In the weeks it took them to get to the Wall. The mark thing would just be silly. 300 miles long, 700 feet high, stood for 8000+ years. Invalidated for its singular purpose because Bran Stark was an idiot and the Three Eyed Raven was also an idiot because...

Dorne was like one episode. This is the Arya guy. Insane chase scenes everywhere!

They'll need some serious shenanigans to justify keeping her in a position that allows her to be important still.

Yeah, what are you talking about? She'll die because all of the Seven Kingdoms are either not going to lift a finger to support her claim (at best), or openly rebelling/at war against her (at worst). She won't get a redemption at this point. She is gone beyond the pale in terms of completely...

Jaime did tell someone, I forget who, that he would kill Tyrion if he ever saw him again. In the show. But maybe they'll have a bro moment again.

Cersei is the next major character to go. Should happen by mid next season as the deck is soooo stacked against her right now. I like the idea of Dany allowing for the separate kingdoms so to speak. But there's no way that Tyrion doesn't get to inherit Casterly Rock. Jaime will likely become a...

First 3 ranked were losses. The other teams had some insane levels of coordination comparatively, do they place groups vs solos? I played very well so far at least. Much more in tents than regular games.

I was in the Army for 6 years for the explicit purpose of being able to pay for university as I didn't want to be in debt/parents had no money. That being said, I am relatively certain that your ability to "lock in" a specific job for the other branches is at best slightly exaggerated. One of...

I don't think the North/Vale is going to get so involved in the shitstorm that is going to come about down South. King's Landing and House Lannister (unless Jaime plays his cards very very carefully) is going to get its shit fucking ROCKED. Whatever mechanism weakens Dany as she does this is...

I think the point is that without Old Walder and the two immediate heirs (in the show) the house will fall into shambles with tons of infighting. Because of all of those kids and not really be of any use to anyone in the Game for the time being.

Ick. Lets hope it focuses on the Lawyer and his inner thoughts though. I don't need some weird twists like that. Just good actual writing.

The books themselves don't even mention Rhaegar being so obsessed with prophecy. Its merely slightly implied and then the interwebz blows it up with tinfoil speculation. The entire series subverts prophecy as something not to be taken seriously. That's why I have such a hard time with Rhaegar...

While that's true. Rhaegar was also shown to be highly intelligent and aware of statecraft. So I would like to think he knew the implications of running off with the daughter of one of the Great Houses of the Kingdoms. To me it seems he didn't expect his father would do something so insane as to...

They'll probably do something silly like ignore it entirely on the basis of him "living as a Stark." Or some shit. I mean, they already ignored that he deserted the Night's Watch, despite Ramsay and Littlefinger bringing it up.

Not relevant. Marrying your multiple sisters does not allow you to marry whomever you want if they are already pledged. Especially if they are your key bannermen. You can argue that killing off Lord Stark and his heir. Then calling for the heads of Ned and Robert AND Lord Arryn is what started...

It wouldn't even matter. Lyanna was pledged by her Lord father to Robert Baratheon. She didn't get a say in the matter. Rhaegar was already married to Elia Martel of Dorne. So in doing this he insulted House Baratheon, House Stark, House Martel. His father had already pushed away House Lannister...

Just watched it. This looks like it could be really good! I am going to bet that Nasir (Tutor) didn't do it. Not only would it be hamfisted writing. It would also be deceptive TV. They have shown us that he was totally perplexed by the situation. To have that all be an act within an act would...

What was up with Quincannon killing those dudes? Was it just some perversion of the "serve God" command he is following?

I wonder if Dany is going to free Volantis of Slavery on the way to Westeros. That was lined out in the books. Also, because this score is exceptional.

Doubtful, Olenna Tyrell and Ellaria Martel certainly seemed to be well aware of it.

I also think that nobody, even Marge and other players of the game ever suspected Cersei would do something so fucking crazy. It shows her madness. The other people playing the game expect some degree of intrigue and such, and know what Cersei is capable of. But understand you cannot kill off...

Like I said, this will need to be addressed almost immediately next season. Robert Baratheon became king because he was Lord of the Stormlands, killed off the Targ Dynasty and made an alliance with House Lannister. Giving him enough support/forces to declare that he was the king without anyone...

I guess she was part of the royal family and Jaime is not as direct a part of the royal family as she is? That's all I got.

To redeem Lancel a little and give the audience an insight to what was going on. Let us hope that Cersei didn't actually 'plan' for Lancel to suffer like that somehow. That's a bit much. One pet peeve I have with the North scene. Seriously, Jon casually mentions that the Army of the Dead is...

Jaime is no longer a Kingsguard. Thus he is now the Lord of Casterly Rock.

That part shouldn't take much to connect the dots. Marge 1. Cersei will be punished by the trial 2. Cersei's punishment will be worse if she doesn't come to the trial. 3. Cersei didn't come anyway 4. Thus she doesn't intend to get punished for it, nor does she believe that the High...

Hard to say which direction they go with it. But Jaime already has knowledge of Wildfire. He would know immediately what probably happened. Cersei will tell him that she killed their enemies and took the Iron Throne. He would honestly probably go with that because she didn't just nuke the entire...

Dany will have at least one dragon taken from her somehow. Think about it. If you write a character having three dragons that she remains in control of the whole time then why even have three of them? Not just one? This will be part of the conflict as she makes Westeros bend the knee. Which...

Damn dude. As much as I love ripping on the TV show you got to give SOME leway for dramatic TV elements that obviously would never happen in real life. We get it. Real life the bomb would just go off with no indication of the source. Foreshadowing of said explosion would also not happen in real...

I bet Jaime regrets not looking into the Wildfire he KNEW was around the city somewhere 20 years ago. I figured that since he killed the Pyromancer and the King who were the only ones who knew about it presumably maybe he didn't think it was a matter for concern. That it was best to just...

A big part of being King or Queen of the Seven Kingdoms is having the right support for your claim. This has been a big part of Game of Thrones as a series. While Cersei was able to get a coronation because literally anyone who could have confronted her is dead and House Tyrell is in disarray...

Uh, Tyrion led the Battle of the Blackwater. He's pretty effective at commanding forces. Also isn't afraid to get down in the mud when needed. Grey Work is more of a tactical commander than a strategic one. As far as everyone in the throne room for Cersei's coronation, it appeared to be the...

I absolutely loved the score. Especially for the whole Trial. Damn that was a good scene. Gotta give credit to Lancel where it is due. Dude did all he could to get to the Wildfire. Didn't expect Margaery and the whole Tyrell family to eat it along with the Sparrows though. Cersei is still so...
