    Re: Game of Thrones

    one other thing that bothered me .

    Why did Stannis bother with a siege ?

    If hed gotten his Priestess knocked up again , she could of released the Demon Assassin on Joffery etc, and he would of surely had the rightful claim to the throne ?

    I mean technically Stannis could use that trick to pretty much defeat any one .

    You can't apply logic to fantasy.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Re: Game of Thrones

    I think the capture of kings landing would have removed the whole lannisters clan from ascendancy. Killing them one by one would have taken a while.

    Was a bit annoyed tyrion still had his nose. He's supposed to lose it at the end of the battle iirc.

    But none of them had a claim any way - hence why Stannis rose up against Joffery ( being the offspring of an illegitimate affair )

    Re: Game of Thrones

    Just finished the 2nd series.
    Not bad, had some pretty cool moments, and was funnier than I remember the first being.
    Overall nowhere near as good as the first (from what I can remember, has made me want to rewatch the first to make sure it's as good as I think )

    Stanis needed the support of the people behind him, and believed that he would get that through a relatively easy battle. He thought that the people wouldn't support a King who won through magic. Stanis would have won easily, were it not for the Imp's chain and the timely arrival of the Tyrrels.

    Yes- but the fact he used magic or insidious means, didnt deter them from accepting him.

    Eh ?

    Renly's men joined Stannis- hence his decision to attack.
