He's very close to how i imagined him while reading in regards to looks, and the personality/acting/presence is perfect. Haven't read the books but the actor is doing a really good job especially the past two episodes | ||

But he kind of only does "terse." Still, I like him a lot and he has the "iron-ness" of Stannis down quite well. | ||

For those asking about regions: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://reelgoddess.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/westeros-map.jpg) Most of Robb's fighting right now is going on in between the Riverlands and the West. Ok thanks this clears up so much. On May 01 2012 09:25 Gorsameth wrote: Stannis has always been like this. when Davos was still a smuggeler he aided Stannis by smuggeling in supplies for him. In return he cut off his fingers for smuggeling. Kinda shows how much he is willing to compromise. Rofl really? I did try to find out as much as possible about events leading up to Game of Thrones (Robert's Rebellion/ Greyjoy Rebellion/ Ned's siblings/ previous Targareyean rulers) without spoiling myself too much, and I thought his fingers were chopped off from past deeds. | ||

During roberts rebellion, he smuggled stannis food and supplies when he was under seige and unable to get out of his stronghold. So for being a smuggler, he chopped off his fingers. But for saving stannis and his people from starving to death, he made him a knight. Hence "Onion Knight" being his title. | ||

Well they have no right, but at least there half Robert children over not at all. I assume it isn't unheard of in the Middle Ages for bastards to take the crown. And I think it's Joeffrey killing them not Cersei I thought the show said, but I may have made a mistake. | ||

Even if she gathers some support as a Tyrgaren, the true key to her claim are the dragons. Any of the other sides could just send 100 soldiers and finish her if she lands now. | ||

I mean, what does she have?, like 6 warriors and 3 dragons that probably for a long time won't be more threatening than puppies?, why wouldn't she just lay low and wait until her dragons are adults and just nuke the hell of anyone that opposes her? Even if she gathers some support as a Tyrgaren, the true key to her claim are the dragons. Any of the other sides could just send 100 soldiers and finish her if she lands now. Because she's a teenage idiot throwing tantrums every episode. Let's just hope she dies and someone less annoying gets the dragons! | ||

It was Joffrey's orders in the show, not Cersei's. I believe that was discussed in episode 2 or 3. I assume because Cersei/Joffrey are aware that Cersei's children are all bastards as well, and they're incest bastards of the maternal line. Non-incest bastards of the paternal line would have more claim to the throne than incest bastards of the maternal line. Gendry and the rest are closer to being Baratheon's than Tommen/Myrcella/Joff. | ||

The real question is, seeing as I've only ever heard of a single person riding a certain dragon, who is gonna ride the other two dragons? Cause Dany has to ride one...but the other two.....they would have to be ridden into battle like the old dragons, wouldn't want to think of totally loose dragon out in the world wrecking. So ya, who has the balls other than Dany to ride a dragon? | ||

So ya, who has the balls other than Dany to ride a dragon? I've thought about that as well and my best bet is Bran. I mean he will be in a suitable age by the time Daenerys comes over and her dragons are actually of proper size, plus the weird dreams he has about flying? Dunno, it seems plausible. | ||

So ya, who has the balls other than Dany to ride a dragon? She will hold the reins of all three of them and ride in a sleigh in the back. Like Santa Claus. I mean she is a white-haired individual who hails from a far-away land and has a strange affinity for mythical creatures, and she is bearing gifts to all of the seven kingdoms. By gifts I mean fire and death. | ||
