Is the moonmaid another moon or a big star?

The Moonmaid appears to be a constellation.

So, was Lord Commander Mormont a half-skinchanger?
Where ever he went, his raven went first.

We don't know.

That's actually a really interesting thought, and would make a bit of sense.  I can't be assed to look now, but I feel like the raven was acting more odd than usual even in the last book towards the end.

Just think of the Nights Watch selection when the Crow crawed "Jon Snow", which Sam didn't train him to do. If mormont was a skinchanger and the crow was his familiar he might have joined with the crow on his death (as explained in the Varimir Sixskins prelude).

Expecting reasonableness from Raz is, eh, unreasonable.

True, but I recognize my shortcomings in this department.  I fear you do not.  Also I think Marty was responding to Viper.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

The most entertaining option would be if Marti explained what he thought the point was - complete with analogies.

No, the point is that they both had a foot fetish even though the book didnt make that explicit.

Save me from the "logic" of the gheys; and the "analogies" of the gheys for that matter. Marty's like

Siege

So, Melissandre came out to Stannis with 3 leeches full of Cedric Storm's blood, royal blood, and Stannis took them one by one threw then into the fire, naming an "usurper" at a time. One for Joff, one for Greyjoy, and one our beloved Robb Stark. They all died.

What was the meaning of this? That Melissandre have the "real" religion? That the red priests have the True Religion (tm) and all others are wrong?
I think GRRM fucked this one up. Melissandre is way overpowered if she can kill people just by dropping leeches in the fire. Thoros is way overpowered if he can revive people at his wimp.

Its always the PvPers crying for nerfs that screw up a good game.
