At almost 9000 words, it could have used an abstract.

You guys must have been sheer hell on the editors at B/R.

I read this whole article looking for the list. Damn you and your clickbait.

Sarlacc pit?

Great now the Russkies have a Sarlacc.

So that's what mannschaft means.

A double bacon cheeseburger?

When my kid asks me where babies come from, I'm just going to say "When a man and a woman love each other very much, the woman puts her hand on her stomach. Then a stranger takes a picture and publishes it. That's how a woman gets pregnant."

He does disappear from King's Landing in the books as well.

Well, I respect your point of view in the matter, even if we disagree. I suppose it's a subjective thing, like all entertainment-based stuff.

It doesn't make sense. I've heard the theory that Jaime and Cersei are secret Targs which is based on the fact that Aerys had a thing for Joanna Lannister and on a scene in Feast for Crows where Jaime's aunt tells him that Tyrion was Tywin's true son. Of course what she means is that Tyrion is the spiritual heir of…

I don't believe the theory, but the idea is that the Mad King had an affair (or raped) Tywin's wife. Before Robert's Rebellion, Tywin was the Mad King's Hand. They had a falling out and Tywin abandoned the capital and left for Casterly Rock right when Ned Stark/Robert Baratheon went to war against the Targaryens.…

The theory basically exists on the fact that it's mentioned more than once that Mad King Aerys really lusted after Tywin's wife Joanna, and the fact that in the book, Tyrion has white blonde hair and one green eye and one "black" eye, which could be the very dark Targaryen violet. It would also go a long way to…

He will definitely warg into a dragon. Either in alliance with other riders, or to turn one of the dragons on Danaerys.

I kind of felt like the whole "Tyrion kills Tywin" thing was much less satisfying without the Tysha subplot. But then again, while I like many, MANY of the changes they make in the show, I feel like sometimes they strip scenes of the emotional resonance they have in the book. Some have more (I think one could argue…

They also left out Tyrion telling Jamie about Cersei's infidelity, which is a huge part of his character arc later on. I suppose he could still find out from Lancel or someone else, though.

The show needed more Tywin pooping gold jokes like the book to lead up to that scene properly.

My roommate burst into tears when Dany chained the dragons. Might be she thought she was leaving them in there to die, like she did with Daxos in Qarth, but also it was simply a emotionally devastating scene, the thick irony of the Breaker of Chains putting them on her wild chilren aside. I got a bit glassy-eyed, too.
