HBO's Game of Thrones

[rice n gravy]

whhile looking up whos related to who i found this its pretty funny

 

[S.jR.]

^^^^ Nice find, especially for those trying to figure out where certain houses and people fit in..

My problem with spoilers are people acting like they making guesses knowing full well what actually happens.. And guessing shit that's almost impossible to guess based on season 1.... Imma lmao if I see these people trying to claim credit as some kinda psychic when it "by chance" happens. That's all imma say about that.

I'm on the 2nd book right now and there is a major difference between a spoiler and speculation.
I'm very concisious of what I say cause even mention character XXXXXXXX is in book 3 is somewhat of a spoiler cause now everyone knows that character will survive season 2.

with that said ppl that have read the book should be able to discuss the show freely as long as they make sure to not mention anything beyond the 1st book/saeason. Nothing wrong with speculating based on what we've season from season 1/the book.

So as I promised I would drop some quotables out of the first book of Game of Thrones

About Ser Jorah Mermonts exile:

“The Usurper wanted his head,” Illyrio told them. “Some trifling affront. He sold some

poachers to a Tyroshi slaver instead of giving them to the Night’s Watch. Absurd law. A

man should be able to do as he likes with his own chattel.”

 

[tru_m.a.c]

Background on the strength of they Tygareans. The Lonious Monk, this is what I was hoping you would tell me.

“We won’t need his whole khalasar,” Viserys said. His fingers

toyed with the hilt of his borrowed blade, though Dany knew he had never used a sword

in earnest. “Ten thousand, that would be enough, I could sweep the Seven Kingdoms

with ten thousand Dothraki screamers.

The girl scrubbed her back and her feet and told her how lucky she was. “Drogo

is so rich that even his slaves wear golden collars. A hundred thousand men ride in his

khalasar, and his palace in Vaes Dothrak has two hundred rooms and doors of solid

silver.” There was more like that, so much more, what a handsome man the khal was, so

tall and fierce, fearless in battle, the best rider ever to mount a horse, a demon archer.

Daenerys said nothing.

Background on the houses that still favor the Tygareans:

The realm will rise for its rightful king. Tyrell,

Redwyne, Darry, Greyjoy, they have no more love for the Usurper than I do. The

Dornishmen burn to avenge Elia and her children. And the smallfolk will be with us.

They cry out for their king.” He looked at Illyrio anxiously. “They do, don’t they?”

“They are your people, and they love you well,” Magister Illyrio said amiably. “In

holdfasts all across the realm, men lift secret toasts to your health while women sew

dragon banners and hide them against the day of your return from across the water.” He

gave a massive shrug. “Or so my agents tell me.”

More on the alliances within the kingdom:

Ned had last seen the king nine years before during Balon Greyjoy’s rebellion,

when the stag and the direwolf had joined to end the pretensions of the self-proclaimed

King of the Iron Islands. Since the night they had stood side by side in Greyjoy’s fallen

stronghold, where Robert had accepted the rebel lord’s surrender and Ned had taken his

son Theon as hostage and ward,

 

[tru_m.a.c]

On Brandon Stark, Ned's older brother:

Brandon had been twenty when he died, strangled by order of the Mad King Aerys

Targaryen only a few short days before he was to wed Catelyn Tully of Riverrun. His

father had been forced to watch him die. He was the true heir, the eldest, born to rule.

Foreshadowing on Ned's Death:

She did not speak, nor did the maester. They waited, quiet, while

Eddard Stark said a silent farewell to the home he loved. When he turned away from the

window at last, his voice was tired and full of melancholy, and moisture glittered faintly

in the corners of his eyes. “My father went south once, to answer the summons of a king.

He never came home again.”

 

[tru_m.a.c]

Foreshadowing on the main plot of Book 1:

Father frowned. “This is only a dead animal, Jory,” he said. Yet he seemed troubled.

Snow crunched under his boots as he moved around the body. “Do we know what killed

her?”

“There’s something in the throat,” Robb told him, proud to have found the answer before

his father even asked. “There, just under the jaw.”

His father knelt and groped under the beast’s head with his hand. He gave a yank and

held it up for all to see. A foot of shattered antler, tines snapped off, all wet with blood.

A sudden silence descended over the party. The men looked at the antler uneasily, and

no one dared to speak. Even Bran could sense their fear, though he did not understand.

His father tossed the antler to the side and cleansed his hands in the snow. “I’m

surprised she lived long enough to whelp,” he said.

“Would that I could,” Catelyn said. “The letter had other tidings. The king is riding to

Winterfell to seek you out.”

It took Ned a moment to comprehend her words, but when the understanding came, the

darkness left his eyes. “Robert is coming here?” When she nodded, a smile broke across

his face.

Catelyn wished she could share his joy. But she had heard the talk in the yards; a

direwolf dead in the snow, a broken antler in its throat. Dread coiled within her like a

snake, but she forced herself to smile at this man she loved, this man who put no faith in

signs.

Damn I'm not gonna lie I didn't even pick up on that one.

Crazy how I'm hype for 2012 already, can't wait til HBO starts with their GOAT promos for this show, again.

 

[tru_m.a.c]

On Sam Tarlys (the fat boy of the Knights Watch) and his upbringing:

The Tarlys were a family old in honor, bannermen to Mace Tyrell, Lord of Highgarden and Warden of the South. The eldest son of Lord Randyll Tarly, Samwell was born heir to rich lands, a strong keep and a storied two-handed greatsword named heartsbane, forged of Valyrian steel and passed down from father to son near five hundred years.

Whatever pride his lord father might have felt as Samwell's birth vanished as the boy grew up plump, soft and awkward. Save loved to listen to music and make his own songs, to wear soft velvets, to play in the castle kitchen beside the cooks, drinking in the rich smells as he snitched lemon cakes and blueberry tarts. His passions were books and kittens and dancing clumsy as he was. But he grew ill at the sight of blood, and wept to see even a chicken slaugtered. A dozen masters-at-arms came and went at Horn Hill, trying to turn Samwell into the knight his father wanted. The boy was cursed and caned, slapped and starved. One man had him sleep in his chainmail to make him more martial. Another dressed him in his mothers' clothing and paraded him through the bailey to shame him into valor. He only grew fatter and more frightened, until Lord Randyll's disappointment turned to anger and then to loathing. "One more time," Same confided, his vioce dropping from a whisper, "two men came to the castle, warlocks from Qarth with white skin and blue lips. They slaughtered a bull aurochs and made me bathe in the hot blood, but it didn't make me brave as they'd promised. I got sick and retched. Father had them scourged."

Finally after three girls in as many years, Lady Tarly gave her lord husband a second son. From that day, Lord Randyll ignored Sam, devoting all his time to the younger boy, a fierce, robust child more to his liking. Samwell had known several years of sweet peace with his music and his books.

Until the dawn of his fifteenth name day, when he had been awakeend to find his horse saddled and ready. Three men-at-arms had escorted him into a wood near Horn Hill, where his father was skinning a deer. "You are almost a man grown now, and my heir," Lord Randyll Tarly had told his eldest son, his long knife laying bare the carcass as he spoke. "You have given me no cause to disown you, but neither will I allow you to inherit the land and title that should be Dickon's. Heartsbane must go to a man strong enough to weild her, and you are not worthy to tough her hilt. So I have decided that you shall this day announce tha tyou wish to take the black. You will forsake all claim to your brother's inheritance and start north before evenfall.

"If you do not, then on the morrow we shall have a hunt, and somewhere in these woods your horse will stumble, and you will be thrown from the saddle to die...or so I will tell your mother. She has a woman's heart and finds it in her to cherish even you, and I have no wish to cause her pain. Please do not imagine that it will truly be that easy, should you think to defy me. Nothing would please me more than to hunt you down like the pig you are." His arms were red to the elbow as he laid the skinning knife aside. "So. There is your choice. The Night's Watch"-he reached inside the deer, ripped out its heart, and held it in his fist, red and dripping-"or this."

More on the alliances within the kingdom:

Well, I couldn't have given you those answers. I only watch the show, never read the books. Kinda weird though, the Dothrakians seem to be a little more civilized in the books than in the show. There was no hint of Drogo having a palace at all.

 

[tru_m.a.c]

Damn I'm not gonna lie I didn't even pick up on that one.

Man honestly, this best thing that happened to Game of Thrones is that it got picked up by HBO and not a movie production company

There are so many scenes in the book, where you're like "Omg if the Directors weren't such geniuses, this story easily becomes a Lovey Dovey/Triump against evil kind of thing."

 

[tru_m.a.c]

Lol I wouldn't go with "civilized" more so "organized brutality"

The book perfectly laid out the wedding scene with all the massacres. And its very descriptive about the dothrakian way of life.

Nah I only mean civilized as in "city dwelling." In the show, they seem to be completely nomadic, where as if he has such a glamorous palace in the book, they much live an at least somewhat sedentary lifestyle from time to time.

Yeah I would think. They talk about how they often trade with and are frequent guest of the "free cities."

 

[tru_m.a.c]

Another on Brandon and Lyanna Stark:

"Unspeakable?" the king roared. "What Aerys did to your Brother Brandon was unspeakable. The way your lord father died, that was unspeakable. And Rhaegar...how many times do you think he raped your sister? How many hundreds of times?"

"I will kill every Targaryen I can get my hands on, until they are dead as their dragons and then I will piss on their graves."

 

[tru_m.a.c]

Tyrion the Imp when speaking with Lady Stark:

“As I was saying before we were so rudely interrupted,” Tyrion began, “there is a serious flaw in Littlefinger’s fable. Whatever you may believe of me, Lady Stark, I promise you this-I never bet against my family.”

This point is foreshadowed earlier in the book:

“A hundred golden dragons on the Kingslayer,” Littlefinger announced loudly as Jaime Lannister entered the lists.

“Done,” Lord Rengly shouted back. “The Hound has a hungry look about him this morning.”

[Jest ensues and Jamie loses to the Hound]

“A pity the Imp is not here with us,” Lord Renly said. “I should have won twice as much.”

A point of notice. Lord stark is right there to hear this conversation between Littlefinger and Renly yet he doesn’t pick up the importance of Renly’s quip. Every name and every conversation is important in the Game of Thrones.

Dragons trump everything, as soon as they get big, Starks, Lannisters, white walkers, or whomever else will become obsolete.....The Khaleesi holds all the power
