| Re: Which non-pov do you like the best? Quote - On a more serious note, I'd rather not have Littlefingers POV tbh, at least not until the very end. - end quote. Too right, though I love the character. Same for Varys, Howland, and Barristan Selmy. As for non-pov favourites, Meera  . Anyone else thinking future love interest? Bran will be 14 the next time we see him, remember. |

| Re: Which non-pov do you like the best? Did we all forget about our favorite uncle? Benjen Stark, where are you? Now that guy's got a freaking story that will fill in the gaps and answer the big snow demon winter questions. He shows up 3 years later... "Dude, so like we're in the woods, like way up in the woods, seriously man, like so far it was just crazy how far North we went cuz we thought we were lost but then we weren't lost, and then, see, this guy he just shows up and he's all like crazy looking cuz he's riding this giant elk. Seriously, a giant elk, man, I couldn't make that up..." |

| Re: Which non-pov do you like the best? The Starks arent Canadian.....they actually pronounce the letter o. If they were...the conversation between Ned and Robert would have gone something this.... Ned: 'Ey hoser Robert: Hey Stark.... Ned: So, whats this all aboot eh? Robert: I need a Hand Ned: A 'and ya doont say.... Robert: Yeah...right wrongs and what not....I smell bacon Ned: 'Ow aboot a beer hoser? Robert: And bacon.... Or something like that....sorry bub...the Canadians would be Nightswatch.... Out there by themselves, no one thinks bad of em, rugged and independent, yet really not a threat to any other military power....look at the bright side, least yer not the wildlings. |

| Re: Which non-pov do you like the best? 'eh, take off eh! Now, let's 'ave a beer... (what's worse is that some us - the lowest of the low French Canadians like me - don't even pronounce our h's )But, seriously, the Starks are like those from Toronto, think they are a little more sophisticated than the rest of us, especially when you're the "metropolis" of the North. And the North has always lived under the influence and shadow of the South. A great Prime Minister once said "...it's like being a mouse sleeping in the same bed as an elephant. You notice when the elephant rolls over." We once had an independent foreign policy just like the North once had it's own King...but that's a topic for another forum But I like the idea of the Nightswatch. The Wildlings are the Aussies (Just shifting the focus of the thread, and kidding of course) |

| Re: Which non-pov do you like the best? I guess the question is really....which POV would you hate to see because they would ruin the story for you? Ive said before that I absolutely love the fact that the major players in Westeros never get a POV. Varys, Petyr, Tywin, the Queen of Thorns,...the manipulative sort never see the light of day. Ned, bless his soul, was a major player but his naivete allowed a certain freedom of exposition that the others lacked... To somewhat answer the question, the Red Viper-Mountain scene was so dramatic for me, I remember where I was and what I was doing at the time I read it. For the sake of brevity I was in a tent with 6 other guys in the middle of Afghanistan and the scene was so engrossing I gasped at the conclusion. I woke by accident one of the two Army Rangers sleeping nearest me, and when he asked what the heck was going on, I tossed him my really beaten copy of A Game of Thrones I bought on a whim during a TDY to Florida for Water Survival School.... That particular book is in Balad, Iraq now....having been given to a school we (US Armed Forces) helped build there. I stop by every couple of months and read it again, along with a couple of books by Eddings and Jordan. Iraqi teenagers check em out often enough they dont collect dust...and I recently (last week) bought the hardbound editions of each book in ASOIAF and contributed em...even if theyre never read it makes me smile a little inside knowing that theyre there. |
