All I recall being mentioned in the show is that Jaime was the youngest Kingsguard ever, and they might have mentioned how long it's been since Robert's Rebellion, but I'm at work and can't find out right now =/ Feel free to PM me if you want more info. | ||

Personally the whole dark and gritty protect-my-stuff-or-i'll-gut-you vibe is what has me glued on my screen. And that's why I love Arya's progression. Someone hit it on the head couple pages ago, he said that the Arya ark is like the Brotherhood storyline from the Elder scrolls. Couldn't have said it better. I mean, she's just a child. A child that when goes to bed instead of sobbing or asking for deliverance, she's asking for the deaths of her enemies. Also she has killed already and there's the deathwish djinni(jacquen) plot in which she indulged to the "dark side". She's a far more darker character than Joffrey for example who's just a sick spoiled kid. /tribute mode off | ||

She is the last Targaryan except that blind guy in the Night's Watch and he cant inherit anything because thats how the Night's watch rolls. Now Denerys says she her dragons will be her only children. Ergo even if she somehow manages to win the seven kingdoms she will sit around and be a good queen and totally not let petty stuff bring her down and it will be magical. And then she will die. And the Targaryan line will die. So there will be just 3 dragons who may or may not eat all humans because they look delicious and that is ti. What is the point of her going to Westeros again? Dragon king. + Show Spoiler + Dragon's frequently took over kingdoms as kings if their mother's were childless during the middle ages. | ||

Otherwise the chances are pretty big you accidentally spoiler something. I'm pretty sure what you just said was a spoiler too, as I've never heard about that stuff in the TV series. Man everyone is so crazy about so called "spoilers" in this thread. Half of them aren't even. This is the difference between a spoiler and non spoiler. I will use the star wars saga as an example, let's pretend not all of the original 3 are out yet. THIS IS A SPOILER Darth Vader is Lukes father. THIS IS NOT A SPOILER 3000 years the old republic exsisted, and there were sith blah blah blah blah. This thread has turned into people bitching about "spoilers" there is 0 discussion here. You can't even talk about events in Old westeros in this thread. Like cmon, that shit has 0 to do with anything currently going on in the show. So how is asking about the doom of valyria a spoiler at all in any way shape or form? Please, tell me. This thread is way to over modded. Can't anyone excersize an amount of self control, how about if you don't want to be spoiled, or know anything lore related. Don't come to this thread period. | ||

After your father dying, I'd imagine Arya would still find it pretty hard to kill off the one adult who was acknowledging your existence, regardless of him being the causation for your current troubles (which is arguable, since it's mostly his kids and grandkids that are messing with everything, I think it's clear that both he and tyrion would not have executed Ned Stark under the same circumstances that geoff or his mother had.) | ||

I kinda see his point about asking about history, and if he goes to the other thread it's VERY likely he'll have events that haven't happened yet be spoiled. Thus I offer an alternative! PM me. I'm confined to a desk for 9 hours a night and would gladdly discuss the show with people. If I don't know the answer I'll look it up for you (I've read the books, so I can't get accidentally spoiled by stuff like those who haven't). This way this thread stays "spoiler free" and people that want to know more about the history of the show get to hear it without fear of spoilers. | ||

seriously, ive read all the books too but i dont feel the need to talk about them here. there's an entire other thread devoted entirely to that. it is so easy to understand why a person who hasnt read the books wants to enjoy this show with all the mystery that other people had reading the books, its hard for me to imagine why everyone's having a hard time with it. Why shouldnt people trying to enjoy the series have a place to talk about it? What a silly and rude suggestion to make. | ||

Your making asumptions about what is a spoiler and what is not . The show can go in diffrent directions with backstory if they so desire and who knows what their intentions are with spin offs with things that might be mentioned in back story. Just because you think it isnt a spoiler it could become one. | ||
