Downloaded and watched all 5 episodes.  It's quite well done I find.  The cast works surprisingly well.  Even Cersei.  It's been so long since I read the books I can't identify glaring inconsistencies.  Although the lovely knight of the flower wasn't with the King's brother if I remember correctly.

Anyhow - I'll be following it from now on.

No, they were definitely together, though it's not as obvious in the books as the show makes it. 

On the same note, Loras was Renly's squire, so it makes me curious as to which one of them converted the other.  :hmm:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

"several" as in "two" or "the faggots"?

Nope. Someone has a Tyrion avatar too.  :P

Eva Damen hasn't been cast as Brienne, but she is a favorite for the role.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Oh, it's a chick in your avatar? I thought it was a particularly ugly guy.

In that case, if she gets the role it will have been inspired casting... assuming she can act...

I just realized the horrible Irony of picking an avatar that is madly in love with martinus' avatar....

Now, is it truly ironic, or merely interesting?

Delusion.

I'm delusional because I think that bumblebees don't have the capability for abstract thought?
They can communicate distance and direction with dance. That's pretty abstract isn't it?

I've tried this.  I have made people leave due to my dancing, however, they did not go where my dance directed them to.  Oh well, more sweet nectar for me!

Well, I thought it was funny. :lol:

Former avatar, no?  He has Renly now.

Presuming that is actually near where you are I cannot understand anything that website says.

Why would it being near where Martinus is determine whether you can understand the website?  :hmm:

Because I do not know where exactly in Poland it is.
