He wasn't poorly-cast, in my opinion, but he's been ill-used.  And by that, I mean not at all.  If any character has been effectively cut from the series, it's him.

QuoteLike Grumbler said, his character's been cut back a lot.

:hmm:
Whoops :face:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

:unsure:
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.

After careful consideration I have come to the conclusion that GoT is a bad for me.
Too much drinking and fighting.

Jon Snow cannnot posibly become king because even if he is Rhaegar's, he still a bastard.
There is no way around it. The Fat Man have been fucking wit all of us all along.

There is certainly no proof he is a bastard.

How can he not be a bastard when Rhaegar was married to Elia of Dorne?

Sufficient proof exists that Rhaegar may have legally married Jon's mother prior to his death. Targaryens had been polygamists before. They do not necessarily adhere to a one wife rule.

What?
There is no polygamy in westeros. Are you crazy?

There is no polygamy in Westeros, but the Targaryens are from the East.

I think it is fairly conclusive that not only is Jon Rhaegar's son, but also his heir and he will end up winning the entire book because the author loves him.

Or that's the way it should go in typical fantasy style.
Martin likes messing with fantasy cliches so much he makes a cliche of it. Though I do suspect he won't mess with that one.

Polygamy: The Targs had converted to the faith of the seven though, they followed western customs now...except for the marrying sisters thing.
I think he did marry Ms Stark though; it was after king's landing had fell and his wife murdered and just before Jon popped out.

Oh crap yeah the battle at the river, got myself mixed up.
Hmm...some sort of de-conversion?
Seems weird he could just polygamise like that.
