The prison arc was not the first arc, that was just issues 6-8. As Oliver mentioned above the first arc was actually on earth with a bunch of stand alone adventures leading up to his decision to go into space.

How dare you compare JR JR to Land.

It was Tywin that sacked the city, the brutality of Tywin's conquering is part of what led Ned to (unfairly) lump in Jaime with that.

I don't think they wanted to sideline such a huge presence as Littlefinger for that long, as awesome as the wedding night reveal is.

Qyborg, is the preferred nomenclature

Probably because he won't be showing up until next season

it was not

sadly Daario has already been cast

@avclub-d80126524c1e9641333502c664fc6ca1:disqus Well there's the fact that she was basically shoved into his room on the night he found out his brothers were dead with the implied intention of seducing him. There's a lot of circumstantial evidence in the books that the whole thing was a setup from the very beginning.

He didn't hate him for killing the king, he hated him for being an oathbreaker.

I saw it as more of a peace offering. His comment about Renly was typical Jaime snark, but her reaction cowed him pretty quickly, and he seemed genuine and apologetic after that.

@avclub-0cad2815adb4dcb1beeb3fefbfe29425:disqus actually I think Tyrion is Shane, Jaime is HHH the favored son and successor who is fucking his daughter

They cancelled it because Peter David is done with it and is moving on to something else. That series ran for fucking ever and he or to do everything he wanted with it.

@avclub-fec1b8d3fbc08f27a84e5a334d45bb5a:disqus I think thats an assumption you made based on your own view of Jaime, not really anything that's supported by the text.

bastards are not in the line of succession unless they have been legitimized

Yeah the sad thing about that scene though is that Petyr clearly already knew what was what, he was giving her one last chance to accept his "help" and when she refused he gave her up to Cersei.

He talked about them some in his scenes with Arya last season

@rawbun:disqus when Robb and Co. showed in Harrenhall earlier this season and discovered the Mountain had slaughtered everyone there - that dude was apparently the one survivor. There was a short scene of Robb and Talisa giving him water and asking him his name.

she's said it more than once on the show

Stannis, bluntly honest even with his young infirm daughter
