Targaryens aren’t immune to disease. At one point it was something Dany said to intimidate people, but it’s not true. Also, the way in spreads in the books is by touching the affected area so it’s anybody’s guess how the show will swing it. My money is on no though because I don’t see the plot point of spreading it.

Actually Robert and Stannis do have real King’s Blood. Robert was crowned because he did have a claim to the Throne by birth once the Targaryen main branch was killed in the Rebellion. Robert’s grandmother was Rhaelle Targaryen making him the rightful(ish) heir to the throne as the eldest man with Targaryen blood.…

Actually Robert did have a claim to the Throne by birth once the Targaryen main branch was killed in the Rebellion. Robert’s grandmother was Rhaelle Targaryen making him the rightful(ish) heir to the throne as the eldest man with Targaryen blood. Stannis’s claim is the same as Robert’s (by way of their grandmother)…

That scene was very much in the books, although it was altered a lot from the original version, and it was not rape but consensual sex. (Cersei kinda resists are first - not because she doesn’t want to engage in sex, but because she didn’t think it was the right place - but eventually relents). The scene served…

Their relationship has always been dysfunctional, and if they change that in the movies because it’s controversial that’s just lame and I’d lose a bit of interest in the film. However, I hope the way they portray their dysfunctional relationship is still true to their relationships we’ve seen before in every…

The only time I got one that bad was when I tore both calf muscles and one of my ankle tendons. Most mine are pretty minor, but I don't bruise that easily. And I never feel them until after either.

And yet people continue to do the tradition of eating a piece of their wedding cake on their first anniversary. Weird.

Between doing Roller Derby and having a very boisterous 5-year-old boy I always have a gel (similar to this one) with Arnica and Witch Hazel and it works great for bruising. It also works well if you put it on the area before the bruise actually appears after the injury to lessen the severity of it.

My state has one for the Medical field too. Given the amount of students loans needed for those types of careers, and that very rarely do medical professionals (MD’s all the way to RN’s) actually have a big salary when they first start out before getting into a specialty (physicians have at least a 3 year residency…

I really hated their portrayal in the show since in the books they were more clever and cunning that just bloodthirsty women craving vengeance and attempting a stupid plan that makes them all look incompetent.

I miss living Sitka sometimes, but man do you guys seem to get the worst of it in terms of stupid questions.

Um, no.

The only time we (Alaskans) care-when not talking in terms of how high a mountain is-is because we usually know where the “safe” 100 ft elevation mark is in case of a tsunami.

You joke but that’s a running gag for a lot of us.

Alaska and Hawaii are seen as foreign locations way too much. But in all fairness it’s not like locals don’t also perpetuate it. We refer to the “States” as the “Lower 48”.

Yeah. I have a huge list of ridiculous questions we get and that is on it too.

Working the El Crab Catcher on Kaanapali beach on Maui. A polite and (I’m pretty sure) unintoxicated couple is having lunch. I have to add the beach view is great, the ocean, the sand...

Also if you leave near the ocean try using vinegar and water to wash the outside of the windows. It helps clean them better and won’t usually leave a streak.

I really wish the Game of Thrones-branded Clue was one of those ones that becomes real, because damn that looks awesome, and it's definitely more challenging than traditional Clue to boot. I doubt they would ever get the licensing for it though.
