    I fully believe Ned Stark suffered from the Madden curse...

    I don't know what the Madden curse is.

    It's a cursed based on the Madden games and the NFL. The curse goes that any player who appears on the cover of a Madden game may suffer some kind of injury or performs poorly in the following NFL season. So far, its track record has been fairly accurate.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Players who feature on Madden boxart have really bad seasons. Or die.

    I think that's it, at least.

    Ned Stark suffered from being played by Sean Bean. There was no way he was going to make it out of the series alive.

    There's a few characters and arcs whose stories are very slow, but chock-filled with subtle hints setting up future plot threads and twists. Bran in Clash is one of those.

    ^i agree, Bolivia!

    no yeah I think this would apply as most understated build up ever. jordan was the master at this, but his loom appeared to create a Pattern with some pretty poor stock. the folk in the Two Rivers area would not have suffered it, had they not been dealing with a veritable influx of peasant refugees and political exiles. also trollocks.

    taren ferry folk, however...

    meanwhile. bob ross ('famous' (or perhaps 'in'famous) PBS 'soothe-as-you-mumble' painter of rural scenes,) as syrio forel. i do not know if a captcha yet exists. this is comedy gold on par with the 'no one paints nice green fields in space' variety.

    Who read the books before the tv show came out other than me?
    Forward, the Light Brigade!'
    Was there a man dismay'd?
    Not tho'(though) the soldiers knew
      Some one had blunder'd:
    Theirs not to make reply,
    Theirs not to reason why,
    Theirs but to do and die:
    Into the valley of Death
      Rode the six hundred.


    Cannon to right of them,
    Cannon to left of them,
    Cannon in front of them
      Volley'd and thunder'd;
    Storm'd at with shot and shell,
    Boldly they rode and well,
    Into the jaws of Death,
    Into the mouth of Hell
      Rode the six hundred.

    I read the books years before the TV show came out. A Feast for Crows wasn't even out when I started the series. I'm sure I'm far from the only one here.
