if you read the lore there have been a few Targaryens who have tried to prove that they're immune to fire, it ended about as poorly as you can expect. Dany appears to be the exception.

Bran is merely in the process of losing his mind, he'd probably make more sense if he could control being able to see through all of space and time.

The guy who invented the procedure died from the very disease he was attempting to cure. Most of the other times it's been tried it's failed. Reading isn't the problem.

So much for the "We are not Targaryens!" speech.

The only way I could describe the pain would be somebody dragging a sharp piece of glass against a stone wall and my pain being the scrape. God did it ever hurt.

Before the new canon took told I always assumed that the Jedi were just sort of loosely affiliated groups who believed in the Force. They had different philosophies, temples, styles and schools but were so rare they were pretty much a myth to 99.9% of the galaxy, hence why Vader gets beaked when bringing up magic…

The lack of nations makes sense given the giant war that engulfed the planet prior to the series, I find it more difficult to believe that religion just melted along with them. Christian imagery is a cornerstone of western civilization, and I don't it just up and vanishing that easily.

Logan dealt with the consequences of merely existing and being a threat to those around you, illegal immigration, and the beauty of surrogate families.

He's pretty shite in the new Bourne movie too (but o was everybody else).

There's also the fact that since he operates so far outside the confines of law and society that even when he's wounded and in need of aid he can't take the benefits society offers because he might get arrested.

There would have been more too had the Americans not been so adamant about unconditional surrender. A lot of the plotters support evaporated when they found out that the Americans planned to destroy Germany regardless of whether or not they surrendered.

I'm pretty sure it was Germans and Russians.

I beg to differ. I think the backlash is from the atrocious writing and even worse dialogue. A good third of the book is the author describing things from the 80s, every comparison or observation he makes is in relation to something that already exists because he isn't a competent enough writer to build an idea from…

What does a British offer of recognition prove? That if the North sought terms Britain would recognize the Confederacy? At that point recognition would be a fait accompli. Until the south seceded slavery was an internal matter in the United States that the government did nothing to rectify the situation until…

You could easily update Spawn for the 21st century. A grisly murder takes place deep in the ghetto, cops find a fingerprint to a special forces dude who died in Iraq back in '07. All of a sudden there are soldiers prowling around, the widow swears she seen him and things are just going nutty with doomsday cultists…

Just watch the HBO show. It's brilliant.

The appointment of Seward as the Sec. of State needlessly angered the Brits because he'd been calling for the annexation of Canada before and during his tenure (even while at war with the CSA), the Trent Affair showed that the Union was very much in the wrong and didn't give a shit about international maritime law.

You said all time high. I object to that claim. I gave two examples that were higher. Had you said 'higher than any time in recent memory' then I'd have agreed. I don't even live in America, so you can get of your high horse.

This would have resulted in the war dragging on until the whole south was conquered as well as an ongoing guerrilla war throughout the south. Thousands would have died, it would have been hideously expensive and required a standing army. All of these things would have been an anathema to a war-wary north… and…

Texas would have been viable in the long run, but a costly independence war with Mexico and the war with the Comanche put a massive strain on the small population. If they could have negotiated a loan with Britain or France along with a treaty of protection the Lone Star easily could have survived into the 20th…
