Don't watch season 6 if you want to see beyond the books.

I am not sure if that answered your question or not, did it?

is this Wun Wun?

Oh good call RRRM!

Ah, ok.

Well Baratheons ( haha, my autocorrect knows that name now ) they are a much better family than the Lannisters. At least in my opinion.
I loved King Robert and Renly. Stannis too but he is a little on the boring side.

Do you know what I just realized?

Cersei Lannister is never referred to as Cersei Baratheon. I wonder why that is. Catelyn Stark is referred to as her married name.

Oh the things I think in the privacy of the bathroom.

I think the Eyrie (sorry not sure of the spelling) would be great place to live. It's cool!

I only have 2 more episodes of season 6 left. Pretty sure I will start over with season 1 for a 3rd time.

Oh good. Glad to hear it is good too.

I have been rewatching season 6. I just watched the episode "the door".

Way to release the beasts Bran!

Anyway it hit me....Bran needs to do as he is told. At the start his Mom said Bran don't climb walls. Look at the shit that went down because of it. And in the cave the 3 eyed raven said don't go back in time alone. He didn't listen and he was touched by the King Whyte Walker! He should listen to others.

Man what a sad episode.

"The meadow was a churning mass of people all trying to elbow their way closer for a better view. Dunk was as good an elbower as any and bigger than most. He squirmed forward to a rise 6 yards from the fence. When Egg complained that all he could see were arses Dunk sat the boy on his shoulders. "


Aw that was very funny and quite cute. This is the beginning of a true friendship!

I loved this story.

RIP Baelor. Oh that was too sad.

Yes I hope we see Aemon too! That would be sweet.

And as far as the Baratheon's yeah this Baratheon was awesome too! Just like King Robert. (I still love Robert. The best Baratheon ever!)

I needed to look at this. You may too.

I am only about halfway through this short story but will post anyway.

"...as he watched a dragonfly move lazily among the reeds. Why would they name it a dragonfly he wondered. It looks nothing like a dragon. "
-That is a great question. I never thought of that so I looked it up and there are a few folklores. http://blog.cleggs.com/news/dragonfly...

I am of Romanian descent so I post the Romanian folklore:

Romanian Folklore

In old Romanian folklore, the dragonfly was actually a horse ridden by Saint George. St. George rid the mythical town of Silence of the dragon that lived in the town’s pond and poisoned the town. After wounding the dragon, he leashed the dragon and gave it to the town’s princess. Saint George’s horse became a giant flying insect when cursed by the devil. In the Romanian language, the word for dragonfly translates into Devil’s Horse or Devil’s fly. The Romanian word for devil is drac, which can also indicate dragon. In English, it translated to dragonfly.

I just love his name ... Ser Duncan The Tall.

The illustrations are great. And I think Dunk is a hottie!

Yes they did indeed. I found where I was in the book and watched the video instead. I think I will continue this way. It's just like an audiobook but with pictures.

Don't have the book? No worries! Watch the stories here! Thanks Alex!

Oh cool! That is great for people who don't actually have the book?
I am going to steal your idea and post it over on the A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms general thread ok?

And thanks Ria.

Yeah going by that article it seems she likely knew.

I know this isn't really the right spot to post this but do I look like I care? Nope!

Hey does Cersei know Gendry exists? Like he has a pretty good claim to the throne should he want it. I really don't think he would but he is more Baratheon than Jaime's boys? Man it's too bad there were no DNA tests done then!

This is the crap I think about during those sleepless nights.

Hodor Hodor Hodor!
