Yeah, you're right. Also the Starks are the only ones that use IN instead of OF. The Lannisters were Kings OF the Rock; the Gardeners were Kings OF the Reach; the Arryns were Kings OF the Mountain and Vale.... I can see how the slip up happens.

No they're not. The Starks were Kings IN the North, before becoming Wardens OF the North under Targaryen rule and then Robb declared himself (actually his bannermen did it for him) King IN the North again. Like BrainsGambino said, there has never been a King OF the North in Westeros. Ever. Not sure why so many people…

Not inheriting Casterly Rock is not the same as living in poverty. There are God knows how many Lannisters in the entire family. None but the direct descendants of Tywin ever had any chance of inheriting Casterly Rock. That doesn't mean that they were all itching to abandon family and sail across the Narrow Sea. And…

Haha. I suppose. He had to though. It was a last resort, as it should have been.

*****SPOILERS********

You've expressed this in multiple places now, but I can't help but think you're wrong. Shae was stubborn, stupid, and uncompromising. You keep saying let go of his world and family? What is left when you let go of family, especially for one as handicapped as Tyrion? He is an imp; he cannot fight. Without his family…

If I could recommend this more than once I would. Apparently no one has seen the irony in the fact that the yellow sun gives an organism the ability to defy gravity at will for extended periods of time, but those neurons in his head? Those neurons that fire so quickly he can move at near the speed of light and still…

Actually, no. Joffrey escalated the war with the Starks. If Ned had been forgiven and allowed to take the Black, he may have ordered Robb to stand down and end the bloodshed in order to get Arya and Sansa back. Instead he beheaded Ned and ensured that Robb was never going to come to the table. Ever. That was why Tywin…

HUUUUGE difference between that and (smiling and) murdering people for revenge

Now hold on a minute. Jaime I'll give you, but what are the not so compelling reasons Ned and Selmy have had for killing someone? I don't think it's the killing that's getting to people about Arya. It's the age, and the fact that she feels compelled to do these things so early in her life, for no other reason that…

I don't disagree with evo psych as a wide overarching concept, but I do agree that a lot of the hypotheses are very difficult (if not outright impossible) to prove. This may change due to advances in other fields but that's the way it is now. For me that is not reason to disagree with the concept, just the execution.…

I think too many people have a knee jerk reaction to evo psych. The premise that nothing in our current psychologies (which are nothing but emergent processes from our biological brains) was influenced by evolution is... absurd. If evo psych is used as a justification for undesirable acts then I stand against it. If…

You know, I've always wondered why/how that was in anyway indicative of what the prophecy meant. I know that's the current most popular interpretation, but it seems completely silly that only someone with ALL the midichlorians in the universe could ensure that there were an equal number of Jedi and Sith in the…

LOL. I don't know either. I suppose, much like the OP, I'm tired and a little angry about Batman's guaranteed wins. The "fights" (as scripted) are never fair, because he will lose against almost everybody he battles. Writers pull every gimmick they can, including making him out to be perhaps the smartest person in the…

It's not a fight if one party is not interested! It's not battling on a mental plane, it's taking advantage of someone's unwillingness to defeat you. One thing every battle on this list had in common is that all opponents were actively sparring because they wanted to. No battle Batman has with Superman will ever be of…

So.... one dude spends days, weeks, months, prepping for a showdown only he is interested in, while the other goes about his business normally with no interest in a fight, and said dude comes with all he can possibly muster and with some help on the side, while the other holds back at every turn because of a long…
