Ripley just needs to show up in the power suit from aliens and just start stomping everyone.
Bullfrog said:In general, the books bored me to death, but the Iron Islands story lines were particularly uninteresting. Same with the TV series.

Admittedly, last night's episode was slow and didn't move the story along much. It was definitely more focused on setting things up for future episodes.

I enjoyed the premise of the stories, I just had a really hard time with Martin's writing style. You had to wait too long for the interesting things; there'd be storylines that served no purpose; his insistence on explaining every time someone took a piss or "broke their fast."

It's not about being impatient... It's more about no happy endings ever. At some point I just got tired of being jerked around. I need some come uppins

Otherwise, the level of general stabbings seems to be about average.

Nope. That sounds ridiculously awesome though.
Royal bastard trained as an assassin to preserve the lineage.

It's not really a new religious order. It was THE religion to begin with and what hasn't really been represented well is that Robert Baratheon bankrupted Kings Landing and things only got worse as the Lannisters waged war all over the place. The city fell into decay and they hate(d) Joffrey/Cersei so when you get a pious religious leader the city turned closer toward religion in a time of turmoil. They couldn't use the army/Kingsguard because it would have literally created a civil war within the city.
Varys: ?Power is a curious thing, my lord. Are you fond of riddles??
Tyrion: ?Why? Am I about to hear one??
V: ?Three great men sit in a room, a king, a priest and the rich man. Between them stands a common sellsword. Each great man bids the sellsword kill the other two. Who lives? Who dies??
T: ?Depends on the sellsword?
V: ?Does it? He has neither the crown, nor gold, nor favor with the gods?
T: ?He?s has a sword, the power of life and death?
V: ?But if it is the swordsman who rules, why do we pretend kings hold all the power? When Ned Stark lost his head, who was truly responsible? Joffrey, the executioner, or something else??
T: ?I have decided I don?t like riddles?
V: ?Power resides where men believe it resides, it?s a trick, a shadow on the wall, and a very small man can cast a very large shadow?
