Scene of the Week, or “Why Mace Tyrell Is an Idiot”

Crazy Rob Thomas. That's funny.

That's what I started calling him because he didn't have a name for a couple episodes if I recall

He's not crazy, he's just a little unwell

This is your best post ever.

That was underwhelming as an episode.

You guys really think people are untouchable?

LOST was another show with a ton of characters, many who unexpectedly died along the way. But there were a handful you knew would not die. I think there are at least a couple such characters in GoT. I think it would be fairly unsatisfying not to have any of the people you started out with present at the end. There have got to be at least a couple constants.

I could be wrong. Who knows.

That being said the theme of GoT is very different. It's about pursuing power, dying in the pursuit of power, and everybody trying to kill you once you have power. So I guess all bets are off.

QUESTION: How exactly are Jon Snow and Ramsey Bolton-Snow related?

QUESTION: How exactly are Jon Snow and Ramsey Bolton-Snow related?

They're not. They're bastards and each region has it's own surname that kinda ties in with some aspect of it.

Ha!

Now I will have that song stuck in my head all day. All day while I'm talking to myself in public, that is.

So... Anyone from that region who isn't really part of a more well known family/line just ends up being known as a "Snow" then?

No, common people have no surname. The name Snow is the last name given to a Lords bastard. He can't inherit his land or titles unless his dad legitimizes like Ramsay was.

Not really...while I'm pretty sure there are low-born people who have bastard names, the examples I can think of from the books are mostly people with one high-born parents (like: Jon, Ramsay, some of Robert's bastards, Ellaria Sand). It's mostly used to try and shame these people, which is why Ramsay getting to be a Bolton is such a huge deal.

Don't forget Targareyens are Blackfyre! I feel like such a nerd.

I feel like they definitely won the Game of Surnames.

Looking forward to some funny Oberyn halloween costumes this year

Sort of. Many of them followed the geographic bastard naming as well, like Brynden Rivers. Blackfyre actually became a cadet branch of the Targaryen house after one of them was legitimized. Which makes me even nerdier .

You know nothing, Jon Snow.

The kid doing the head nod after killing ginger minge actually made me laugh. Also, ginger minge.
