Jaime is suppose to look different at this point.

Yeah in the books he's bald at this point because of all the lice.

This is a joke right?

[Sawyer]

Quiet you.

 

[Motown Marvel]

[Naked Shia]

Stannis is incredibly boring, and Dillane looks bored as well.

What's that?

lol looks like Sauron with a stick

 

[Silvermoon]

What's that?

Top right corner says "Battle on the Pyke" - So I imagine it's supposed to be Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark during the Greyjoy rebellion?

What I want to know, is that fan art or is it something official?

 

[marcvader]

Not feeling that as a Game of Thrones illustration. I doubt Ned Stark would have that fru fru pony tail.

It really does

Ah, didn't notice that. Probably fan art.

That Rolling Stone interview with GRRM is excellent. This quote stuck out in particular...

There's only a few wars that are really worth what they cost. I was born three years after the end of World War II. You want to be the hero. You want to stand up, whether you're Spider-Man fighting the Green Goblin, or the American saving the world from the Nazis. It's sad to say, but I do think there are things worth fighting for. Men are still capable of great heroism. But I don't necessarily think there are heroes. That's something that's very much in my books: I believe in great characters. We're all capable of doing great things, and of doing bad things. We have the angels and the demons inside of us, and our lives are a succession of choices. Look at a figure like Woodrow Wilson, one of the most fascinating presidents in American history. He was despicable on racial issues. He was a Southern segregationist of the worst stripe, praising D.W. Griffith and The Birth of a Nation. He effectively was a Ku Klux Klan supporter. But in terms of foreign affairs, and the League of Nations, he had one of the great dreams of our time. The war to end all wars – we make fun of it now, but God, it was an idealistic dream. If he'd been able to achieve it, we'd be building statues of him a hundred feet high, and saying, "This was the greatest man in human history: This was the man who ended war." He was a racist who tried to end war. Now, does one cancel out the other? Well, they don't cancel out the other. You can't make him a hero or a villain. He was both. And we're all both.

With David Bowie next to him.

Hey, I thought the exact same thing when he said that to her. He'd probably be more interested if she was. That's just how Jamie rolls.

You know, I'm starting to get annoyed with how blown out the Jamie/Cersei scene has seemed to get. It's amazing to me, actually. I mean, aside from the discussion of what actually went down and such...I'm amazed at how people are saying 'GOT went too far', or that this is the most disturbing thing they've covered on the show.

I mean, we've seen some very ****ed up **** go down. Craster, and his hundreds of wives/daughters/granddaughters is probably one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen, anywhere. There was the castration of a character, a boy had his parents murdered and was then told by one of the killers that his parents would be eaten.

I'm just wondering what ****ing show have some of these people been watching where they think disturbing **** doesn't happen?

Oh I'd agree with that. We've seen tons of other disturbing things. People being shocked by the fact that an act like that was on the show are being silly.

I was mad because it was completely out of character, and in my opinion, completely unnecessary. But as far as being "too much" for the show, given what they've done already, that's just not true.

It's well-done art, but it doesn't fit Game of Thrones. It looks as if the Artist copied Skyrim armor (the helmet and cuirass look like Daedric armor, the boots dragonscale). The hammer also looks like a Daedric warhammer.

 

[Victarion]

Anyone else find this line unsettling: "Those poor girls, I bet they miss their father." From Dolorous Edd in episode three. This is likely going to be addressed Sunday. Interestingly, I found this interview: http://winteriscoming.net/2014/04/0...hlan-on-dialling-down-grisly-season-4-scenes/

Could it be something going on with the mutineers at Craster's?

Definitely a different stylistic take. It also looks like Ned is holding Ice, which would be odd, because it wouldn't be practical for Ned at all to use Ice in battle. I believe he only used it to chop of heads.

That Olenna. Such a freak in the sheets.
