Game of Thrones Season 8
I read this too. I wonder how involved he is with these things or if they really just want his name attached to get eyeballs. I also wish, just once, he would say "This book is X% complete." I mean, he's been writing it for 8 years. Surely he's got... 600 publishable pages at LEAST. Sorry. Ranting. -

Isn't Davos a great dark horse pick for king? Totally a man of the people, has been through everything. Understands how to deal with nobles and commoners. -shrug- Unlikely but would have been pretty interesting. Still better than Bran! -

Here's a fun question, if you had been one of the great lords or ladies at the dragonpit, who would YOU have nominated to be the next ruler and why? -

Agreed 100%. Really one of the worst endings in tv history. And I loved that show. -

I totally get where you are coming from. But Jaime was a knight of the Kingsguard, sworn to protect the king. Which is why he is reviled by everyone not named Lannister. He violated an oath that was, historically, very well respected. After Daenarys destroying King's Landing and murdering a... -

Yeah except, as stated, Jon actually was the heir and Jaime was just a killer. As long as Drogon is alive, Jon has to end up as king. (Which is why I was certain all the dragons would die.) I picked Jon to return to the wall at the end of the season. But Bran is a horrible choice. I really... -

I've been skulking here for a few weeks. I'm happy that we got an actual ending but there are some pretty serious problems that I hope are answered more fully in the book. I thought that the episode had some beautiful cinematic elements and Drogon was used well. Peter Dinklage was, as usual, the... -

Teacher stories
I had a teacher in high school who was in Vietnam. He would always tell us that he was a hand to hand specialist who spent most of his time infiltrating behind the lines gathering intel. We never really believed him. He was also a very particular guy who hated having his desk messed with. He... -
