Song of Ice and Fire Question...

He said I insulted someone when I did no such thing. So I made sure he was not being a liar by making sure I did insult him.

Just trying to make sure the number of accusations and crimes were actually balanced.

eh? heck it's not worth the trouble anymore.

(KB I did understand you read all the books and didn't like it in the end, my point there was that people sort of need to make their own decisions on whether they like it or not (there's 4 more books comming in this series best to stop now if your not happy), sorry if I was confusing I won't bother anymore, I've had enough, the thread is ruined for me anyway so have at it.)

I am a beliver of the Reagher(SP?) and Lyanna theory, that being that they are his real parents. If that is true Jon is the true king, he is older than Dany.

Actually, Jon would be the son of the Prince than and Dany is still the son of the last Targ King. Thus, Dany still would have I think the claim over her nephew. But, since the Targs married each other, I have a feeling she'd want Jon to join her....on many levels.

As for when Dany and her dragons hit the mainland, so to speak.....rumors abound that it will be in Book 5: Dance with Dragons or is it Dance of the Dragons. One of those two.

Nope, I disagree,

When King Arey's died it passed to his elest son Reghar, then when Reghar died it passes to his son's, but all his kids were belived to be dead, killed by the mountain. This is how it works in the books.

For instance

Spoiler

Robert died and if Jofferey would have been his rightful son he would have been the rightful king, not Stannis or Renly. The only claim they had was that Robert had no blood children,

Thus they had a claim. This was a big part of the books. I mean if Eddard had not found out

Spoiler

about the incest and blew the whistle Stannis, and Renly would have never thought they had a claim to the thrown.

It would have made A Clash Of Kings awefully boring.

Do I have to quote it for you to understand?

To be fair Doc, since you have only read 1/2 of the first book and you're slamming the whole series isn't going to get many to take your opinions seriously.

 

[takyris]

And to be fair, Doc's still being fairly abrasive after a warning from the moderator.

Guys, it's a book. It's not a religion. It's not a life-changing political decision. It's entertainment. Really.

The original poster wanted to know if the things that were frustrating him would end. I think that, by and large, the conversation appears to have said, "Some of those things will get solved, but others are going to stick around and continue to bug you." Some people commented that those things really bugged them, too, and other people commented that they actually like those things. That's all fine. It's good discussion. As a writer, I love seeing discussions like these. They make me think about why I write and what people like to read, versus what I like to write.

However, turning the discussion into personal attacks on people who either like or dislike the series is not really going to get us anywhere. Unless you get your jollies off of trolling, I don't see how that really benefits you.

To be fair Doc, since you have only read 1/2 of the first book and you're slamming the whole series isn't going to get many to take your opinions seriously.

Why? My statements have been confirmed by many people here who have read more of the book. In addition it is fairly obvious from all the comments made by people who have read the whole series that Martin does not alter his storytelling style.

So any opinion formed over the style of writing of the first half of the first book would be valid for the entire series. Now if someone says that Martin heavily changed his style 10 pages after I threw the book away then I see your point. No one has said that though.

 

[Pants]

Why?

Because you haven't personally read it all.

 

[JacktheRabbit]

Because you haven't personally read it all.

LOL, thats it?


I have never been in space yet I can debate the lunar landings and our attempts to explore the Solar system.

I have never been in a NASCAR racecar but I can tell you they are dangerous.

I have never studied Islam yet I can tell you that militant followers of the religion are perverting the true meaning of the religion and quite dangerous.

Shall I go on? Or are you just going to clip out one word from ym replies and try to make snide smarta$$ comments because you know my point was much more valid than yours?

 

[ASH]

You have not read the books. The idea that you could even try to make an educated post of a book you have barely read is silly, and states that you were just trying to make a problem!

Thus from this point I will be ignoring your trollish posts on this thread, and suggest that everyone else does the same thing so we can continue to have a nice discussion.
