I always thought it was more along the lines of them convincing her that's the way it actually went down as opposed to getting her to knowingly lie for them. But I've only read it once and most of the details are pretty foggy.cutuphalfdead wrote:Why do y'all think Myrcella lies about the nature of her injuries and protects the Martells at the end of ADWD?

Chud?
Why is jaimie still called the king slayer when that targaryen was a cunt. Surely he should be seen as a hero no? I've read all these books n don't remember

Re: A Song Of Ice and Fire (Spoilers for all Published Books
No doubt Jamie did the right thing, as he has done most of the time. Pushing Bran was clearly a terrible thing to do, no excuse. From his point of view, if Bran told everyone about Jamie and his sister, it could mean them being executed, the Lannister family possibly being destroyed, their kids probably murdered when found out that they weren't the true children of the king. He had a split second to react, and went for the worst possible solution. He'll never be a typical hero, but he gets far more criticism for the things he has done (both in and out of the books), than other central characters get, for what they have done.

Does Varys know R+L=J? He was spying on Rhaegar for Aerys.

I've been listening to this reread podcast and an audiobook of the first book and I think I can safely say that Daenerys is my favorite storyline in A Game of Thrones.

I connected with her story more in my second read through, but hers was never a favorite. The Jon, Araya, Jamie, and Tyrion stories were the ones that really drew me in. Sansa did get much better on subsequent reads. Knowing where she is going really reframes your early experiences with her
