They all had different mothers. Bloodraven's mother was a Blackwood; Bittersteel's was a Bracken; Daemon's mother was Princess Daena Targaryen, a daughter of King Aegon III, and Aegon IV's cousin.

Having Sir Elton rerecord his own music to suit how it's being used in a given scene is an interesting approach; I'm not sure I can recall that ever being tried previously. Though it also means that Hardy has to really get the accent right, or it'll be very weird to go from him to the real deal.
I knew that Peralta had to be working a scheme when Holt came to the cell, but I wasn't expecting quite how elaborate it was.
As far as filming action/big spectacle goes, Cameron's only real rival in cinema is Steven Spielberg. His main weakness vis a vis Spielberg is that he insists on doing most of his own writing, and he's not nearly as good at that as he is at everything else. In Titanic I think his screenplay works fine; Avatar could…
"Dark Horse" is my favourite track that I've listened to so far.
In theory, the fact that people can now buy individual songs should result in greater attention being paid to each individual track, since it has to sell on its own merits, but so far that hasn't been the case. So you'd think album filler would become unnecessary and they'd just skip to making singles. So far it…
I still unabashedly love Cameron's Titanic. It's a superb old-fashioned melodrama.
The North is a place where a not insignificant part of the population freezes to death or starves every winter, even in ideal conditions.
The producers have said the show itself is envisioned at lasting eight seasons, so there's no way that Books 4 and 5 are going to take three years (there's nowhere near enough actual story for that).
The Martells are more likely to be included, based on how the show operates, because that plot has a number of sexy ladies in it.
Yet more evidence that CBS should have taken my advice to retool Hostages as a multi-camera sitcom.
Pretty much everybody south of the Neck believes in the Seven, from what we've seen (apart from the Blackwoods).
I'm still waiting for confirmation that Damphair has been cut, indicating that we won't be wasting time with the power struggle that nobody cares about.
I always thought that was kind of weird, since the Faith is from Essos originally. I don't think they've ever said where in Essos the Andals are supposed to have been from.
I think Season 5 will likely include some elements of Book 6, but Book 6 should be out before it gets too pervasive.
It used to be, though. It's just that thanks to the Targaryens, the seven or so separate kingdoms that the Faith formerly spanned (while being run out of the Reach) are now one big kingdom, currently fighting to resume its splintered status, but with the Faith still, as a result of the Targaryen Conquest, heavily…
There's really no indications that the calendar works any differently. The way the characters age, for instance (and the way the author himself has commented that they should probably have been older than he made them).
Yeah, it's obviously a Luther-sans-Reformation, but a lot of his ideas about minimalism are very Lutheresque. I guess you could analogize him to a Jesuit, the shock troops of the Counter-Reformation who were much less into pomp and circumstance (like the present Pope Francis).
I don't think there's an individual source for this, but the cumulative effect of the books and show makes it pretty clear that that "year" is one of our years, down to the number of months, etc.
Sure, the Brackens and the Blackwoods hate each other, but that never stopped them both from supporting House Tully (or House Targaryen, or House Baratheon, or House Stark).
