Language is clearly something Martin isn't too bothered about (which is kind of a relief after so many crappy post-Tolkien efforts)

i guess what bothers me about dorne is less the culture or language stuff and more that there is a DESERT there. the place is 1/3 the size of the entire north and it has three distinct land types, each with its own special kind of dornishmen??

Not to be a pedant or anything (screw it this is the GOT thread) but they're called the Night's Watch.

i really had catelyn pictured as robin wright penn
― Blink 187um (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 20 May 2011 02:16 (twelve years ago) link
I like that ...she would be good. Am warming to Cat now though.
And I'm growing more fond of Sarah Connor Chronicles not-terminator lady as Cersei...at first it seemed like she had one facial expression and just kept tilting her head from side to side but I'm seeing it a bit more now, the Cersei-ness of her
― Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 20 May 2011 04:49 (twelve years ago) link
that kind of sad conversation she and robert had about their marriage really went a long way to humanizing her

I could see if that if you don't work or do something where you can read on the job but otherwise that just seems nuts. I might just be a slower reader though. idk.
