1) Aegon is actually older than both of them. Jon was born after KL was sacked. Aegon was already an infant at that point. Elio Garcia, whom works for and with GRRM has stated that Aegon was born in 282AC, and Jon was born almost a full year later in 283AC. Meera was also 283 AC, but we are never told if it was before or after Jon. And Dany a year later in 284AC.

2) A+

3) the not bending / fleeing comment had nothing to do with being "disabled" and was said before the battle even started. it was referencing the kings guard that ran off with Elia, Rhaenys, and of course, baby Aegon.

4) the "real" way? he had a sword put through his chest and was outnumbered 7 to 3. thats the "real" way he died right there. as far as her killing herself, not buying it. im thinking it was a story made up so she could travel with Jon Connington to protect Aegon. enter from stage left, Septa Lemore.

Yes, if Aegon is the real Aegon.

But, remember when Tyrion meets Aegon he doesn't liken him to be old enough to be the original deal. He explicitly thinks to himself he's 15/16 instead of 18/19.

Watched the finale again today. I cringed irl when the Hound kicked Brienne in the clam. That shit hurts just as much as a guy getting kicked in the balls. Overall I thought it was an awesome fight, though. Clegane gets his ass kicked by a woman. Lol. Good stuff there. He's actually one of my favorites though so I really hope he'll reappear in the future like the books seem to hint at. Goddamn.. hate waiting so long between seasons.

at least its not 4-5 years per season [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well shit... I guess you're right. Ten episodes is the new norm for seasons on HBO. For some reason I thought there were only 9 this season. My mistake. I blame it on the fact that for this past month I've been recovering from major surgery. Have been on lots of pain meds due to some complications.

Ok, so one more thing about seasons on HBO. You watched Rome, right? Season one had 12 episodes. That was the norm back then with all HBO series. Season two only had 10 because the show was cancelled and they had to wrap it up as best they could. It sucked the way they rushed it, although I get why - that show was very expensive to produce (amazing show btw, they did a great job except for how they ended it).

And look at True Blood, another example of being cheated a little by HBO. Seasons one through five had 12 episodes. Season six they started chopping it down to 10. Honestly, I don't care much about True Blood since I stopped being a fan a long time ago, but it's a good example of what I'm talking about.

I pay out the ass for my cable so it just irritates me when they pull this shit. They get me all addicted to their shows and then cut back on what they deliver. Twelve episode Game of Thrones would have been fabulous!

That's all, I'm done crying about it now. Lol.

they agreed on 10 instead of 12 because they were worried about fluff (could be avoided by not cutting things like coldhands, belwas, and stoneheart)

true blood should have ended after season 3. shit got real dumb will billith. the simple truth is that show went so far off the books, its just a retarded mess of shit at this point. if you want REAL examples, go look up what happened to shows like Deadwood and Rome. those are two shows that were actually fucked by HBO. trueblood was fucked by the bad writing, as it equals less viewers, which equals less money, and that signals the end.

the only thing that really worries me is GoT's CGI budget. those dragons are expensive as hell, i dunno if people realize that, and thats why most of the time we wont see all 3 dragons in the same scene. i cant even imagine how much they wasted on dragging out the scene with Dany chaining up the dragons. in later seasons, those dragons do stuff. hopefully it doesnt effect the rest of the budget, but i fear it will. eventually HBO will stop upping their budget.

AND i'm glad your recovering from the surgery well! we missed u in this thread!
