The spring thing sucks about as much ass if not more than the whole packaging debacle. I should NOT have to fix toys. Same goes for the AT-ST and the AT-TE before

The Black Series 3.75" Figures / The Black Series 3.75" - 2013 Wave 4
« on: August 15, 2013, 09:47 PM »
Sooo...the JTA report was fairly accurate and that leaves the following figures off the rumor list:
Luke Skywalker (Jedi Training)
Yoda (Jedi Training)
Wedge Antilles (Snowspeeder Outfit)
Darth Vader (Episode III)
Snowtrooper
Toryn Farr
Hasbro has hinted that next year will be a little more OT focused...which jives with the list...let the speculation begin!

If you have read The Road I highly recommend you read The Dog Stars
Finished Inferno a few days ago...meh. I think I am done with the Robert Langdon books
I read most of this after the last Oz movie as I had never read any of them and it was like a buck on the Kindle store
And finally, it took me a long long time but I got through The Making of the Atomic Bomb...it was awesome from a scientific and history standpoint I just couldn't stay awake at night reading it

The Varys/Illario thing totally clueless to me when I first read it too but after rereading it makes total sense. And it sets up the whole Mormont betrayal and Dance with Dragons Targaryen surprise as well. Part of me wonders if Varys know about Jon too...and he is pulling the strings with him as well. Which is why he wanted Ned Stark alive.

« on: August 13, 2013, 03:55 PM »What are the chances of Prequel books to ASOIAF? I think lots of people would love to read about Robert and Ned and the TargaryensAlso note that Martin seems to planning some sort of Silmarillion
Martin does a really great job of giving some history of Westeros but there could be so much more, it doesn't even need to be written by Martin as the story is already fleshed out
From his Not a Blog:
The final story in DANGEROUS WOMEN will be my own, a 30,000 word novella entitled "The Princess and the Queen," a history (somewhat abridged) of the Dance of the Dragons, as set down by a maester of the Citadel.
Tor.com has just uploaded a sample to their site. You can find it here:
http://www.tor.com/stories/2013/07/dangerous-women-george-r-r-martin-excerpt
Enjoy.
(The full 80,000 word account of the Dance will eventually appear in a book, as yet untitled, that we're calling the GRRMarillion).

After rereading Game of Thrones I think the most common Jon Snow Theory is for sure the right one. I am pretty sure all of the talk of Lyanna is there for a reason and Howland Reed will make an appearance after Bran and Jon reunite at some point soon and will explain all to Jon. Jon then will meet up with the other two Targaryens with their 3 dragons to conquer the 7 Kingdoms and bring peace back to the realm.
It had been way too long on having not read the books to see all of the clues as plain as they are spelled out in GoT.
