Mewtwo- Japan's greatest philosopher

Mewtwo is my favorite philosopher of the Edo period.

Bloodraven: Treason is no less vile because the traitor proves a craven. also Bloodraven: lord butterbutt lmao

“Brienne’s story echoes Dunk’s story” ... KING PODRICK

Walder Frey: Ruining other peoples weddings for 90 years!

Maester wearing Egg's old hat is a very important detail.

“One more word, and I will rip your tongue out by its roots!” “You lie. That’s two words.” What a line

If I had a nickel for every time Dunk threatened to give Egg a “clout in the ear” I’d have enough money to fund a third blackfire rebellion.

If HBO was smart, they would hire Alt Shift X to do post-show discussions. And not restricted to Game of Thrones. The video on Raised by Wolves was great.

"How do you do, fellow hedge knights?" has me laughing too much at work.

You forgot to mention HOW Ser Glendon Ball ( [edit] or rather Ser Glendon FLOWERS, assuming that Ser Quentyn even was his father) won the trial by battle; Dunk told him to use a tourney lance, which was longer than the war lance that Daemon used and thus would reach it's target quicker. That was a trick Dunk had learned from prince Baelor in his own trial way back in his first book, The Hegde Knight. So Dunk might not be to bright, but he learns from experience...

"...throw him down a well." How Walder Frey will die in the books, mayhaps?

I just realized, when you mentioned that Bloodraven is heavily inspired by odin; Bloodraven "combined" himself with a tree to gain full sight of the Old Gods and Odin "pinned" himself to Yggdrasil with his spear and bled for 7 days to gain the power of magic. The similarity is just crazy

The artist for this novel really made Bloodraven look like a vampire

Oh god I cant tell you how long I laughed at that Japanese philosopher joke.

Welp, looks like I'm rereading Dunk and Egg for the upeenth time

One of the things that I love about the ASoIaF stories/books, is how there is always something else going on behind it all; there are layers of stories, secrets and mysteries stacked on top of eachother. This is impossible to translate to a tv show.

I like the idea that maynard is bloodraven in disguise and that bloodraven is taking his job of impersonating a hedge knight and spying at the wedding as an opportunity to have some fun drinking with the guys and make sexsiest jokes It really adds to his character in my opinion: hes not just this mysterious scary looking sorcerer creep, hes also a guy who was probably treated as a freak and outcast his whole life for being a bastard and albino and probably had a very lonely life which he ia trying to make up for now

I think I've decided that Bloodraven is my favorite historical character in the ASOIAF universe. Even excluding the whole Three-Eyed Crow thing, even if you treat that as a separate character, Bloodraven is great. He has the ruthless, cutthroat political sense of Tywin and Stannis, he's got magical powers like Bran, he's a bastard who fights for the good of the realm like Jon, he's a spymaster like Varys, he's got the Targaryen connection, he's motivated by love, family and duty, like Ned, and he has deep flaws related to his paranoia and prejudice, not unlike his cousin, Aerys II, The Mad King. He's like a microcosm for all the best and most interesting traits that make characters on ASOIAF so interesting and fun.
