Qarth. One boob out at all times.

It's not in Westeros.

Side note, and I know this is the book discussion thread, but I was pretty disappointed that Emilia Clarke's boob wasn't out in Qarth in the TV series like it was supposed to be.

Yeah if one thing is wrong with the show, it's that Emilia Clarke does not show off her boobs enough.

Seems like they were everywhere in the first season but diminished in the second. Heard the show got some backlash for being too graphic with the violence/nudity.

I was being extremely sarcastic. She is naked all the time. And there was no backlash unless you consider the SNL skit "backlash"

did you guys see where I posted a link to a chapter from the next book? wow

Yes, thanks.
Apparently when he posts a new preview chapter, he replaces the previous one. There used to be a Theon chapter, but now just the new Arrianne chapter is up and you can't get to the Theon chapter anymore (which I didn't get a chance to read).

Season 2 strays from the book a lot more than season 1, but it was pretty good as well.

I've probably watched the first episode like 12 times because I keep showing it to people to get them hooked. The first scene usually works.

agreed. I think the storyline in the shows might actually be better when it comes to Arya. Mostly because I think Tywin is a fantastic character, and him interacting with Arya is like dynamite television. IMO.

I agree with that, but there were also some changes, like how Arya escaped from Harrenhal, that I didn't like quite as much as the book version.

You practically begged me to tell you what happens.

What are your least favorite recurring old timey phrases? I hate it when they say "jape" instead of "joke" and I want to gouge my eyes out every time I see "milk of the poppy".

michigancat · « **Reply #146 on:** January 27, 2013, 10:14:49 PM »

Also, if I read "where the whores go" or "she probably mumped moonboy", god help me.

But I do enjoy it when someone says "seven hells".

And was the word "niggardly" really necessary? It's a fictional fantasy land, George. Come up with another word.

leaving the discussion regarding the healthiness of (most) white americans' extreme aversion to the word n-word for another day; you should be aware that the word niggardly is etymologically unrelated to the word n-word.
