he was the king who answered. all other lords ignored the night's watch call to arms against the wildlings. aside from the child burning, i think he was the most fit of all lords to lead the realm.

Which isn't saying much.

Yeah, he's fit to be king, but he'd probably be "fair" and "just" to a fault. Imagine if he cut off the fingers of everybody who did something wrong and then made amends for their crimes? There'd be a run on hand-crafted Dornish finger bags.

He was a dour doofus not fit to rule.

And what you have got against the wildlings anyway, Mec?

You make a solid point.

Just think, had Jon Connington rooted out Robert Baratheon at Stoney Sept we could be in the twilight years of a the prosperous reign of Rhaegar Targaryen.

Stop making up characters from that bullshit fan fiction/cookbook line you read.

How the F does Davos not get that skin disease when Stannis' daughter kisses his cheek, but Jorah does?


How the F do the Iron Islands have all this wood to build ships? Every time there's a scene there, all rocks and no trees.

Shireen's disease has been cured/made dormant. Jorah touched a Stone Man which is a person in the advanced stages of the disease and has not been cured.

I'm pretty sure only kids can recover fro, Greyscale. If an adult gets it they're done for.

So what you're saying is, my question about Iron Islands and trees stumped you, huh?

I assume that they use boats to go to other places and collect the necessary wood. They probably have quite the stockpile.

The real logistics question here is, how will they manage to build 1000 ships in a timely manner?

how'd they get from winterfell to kinds landing in like 3 episodes?
