I don't think being a Targaryen is enough, you probably also need to be linked with a dragon. Hell, being a Targ may not even be necessary.

Probably not, but Valyrian blood seems to be a requirement.
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.

Oathbreaker can be lots of people ... Jaime, Jorah, Arya, Brienne, The Hound, the Unsullied...
Could be related to Brienne's sword Oathkeeper.

Martinus


crazy canuck

I am looking forward to seeing what the writers can do now that they are essentially breaking new ground.

Didn't like LSH in the books. Cut her out.

*still holding out for LSH*
they were very explicit she would not be in the tv show in the past. Dead is dead and all that.  It would surprise me if she did.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Srsly.  I hope The Red Woman is referring to her.

Who is LSH?

Lady Stoneheart, I guess. Don't see the need to put it in acronym.

Agreed.  An easily-dispensed-with character who ads nothing to the story but an increased challenge to suspension of disbelief and a small element of horror.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I don't even remember that name from the books. I thought she was still called Catelyn.

Zombie Mountain, and Jon will be more than enough of Martin's "hah, you thought I kill everyone but in fact I kill NOBODY!" shtick, thankyouverymuch.

They were also explicit Jon Snow is dead and noone believes that.
