Game of Thrones!

Is the traditional outfit of the daughter of a Scottish Clan Cheiftain pants?

Pants?

 

[Beorn]

She's actually a daughter of a Scottish Clan Chieftain in real life, grew up in a castle and have family title. Pretty awesome.

Huh, that must of been quite a shift cleaning up after lords and ladies.

17 is the legal age in Texas.



OMG Really?! She's even cooler to me now!! I liked her in the book, thought her actress was soooo perfect and now she's awesome IRL too?!

Yeah, its the whole older persons targetting younger persons which I think is weird. The eroticisation of younger age groups and youth per se is a bit sick.

Yup, pretty cool person, she has a very different accent from her character, its some awesome acting skillz and she started in another show as a maid called Doungton Abbey or something like that, her accent is a kind of posh/elite edinburgh-ish accent which is pretty interesting. There's clips of interviews with her on You Tube. I read that she's skillful at horse riding, skiing and stuff of that kind too.

I am always interested in what people of uber wealth or status do and why they do it, they are closer to being able to realise the idea of "human being", you do what you do because you want to do it for some reason not because you are compelled by circumstances or the need to earn a living.

My new dream is about some how marrying into an elite scottish clan dynasty you know

 

[Elfboy]

Dude, unless you're sixteen or seventeen yourself that's just wrong.

why? most are too immature for a relationship with most people, but there's a difference between "she's hot" and "I'm going to go out and seduce her". does it magically become alright to find them attractive in 12 months? lol

PS: I'm 21

Might I suggest a temporary career change to Chauffeur?

No it doesnt, it does when they're twenty and you're twenty one.

They dont look very scottish, I like the pale, red headed women.

Lol. Those are other characters from Downton Abbey. Tom was an Irishman, socialist, and Chauffeur who went after the Lord's daughter. Worked in fictitious 1920s England why not in real Scotland today?

His wife dies pretty young, though.

Spoilers!!!

Hey, I can bring this back to GoT.
In both shows EVERYBODY dies young. The difference is I'll keep watching GoT while I'm done with Downton.

I shared this opinion with someone (to watch the TV show before reading the book). She disagreed that it would be more exciting that way. I agreed with her because she is beautiful.

However I must say that what you said about things would be more exciting for 'not knowing what's happening in the books' makes quite a lot of sense. I shall keep this post in my mind and the day I read the books come back and share with you as to what method I find more interesting.

There are a few perks in reading the books first -

You can make a fuss
You can feel superior than the rest of the people in the room who are watching it with you
People would look at you when they don't understand whats going on
You can play mind games with people
Basically everything which is mentioned in [MENTION=5398]Edgar[/MENTION] 's video.

*Feels shallow*

Perfectly valid preference. I am too self-absorbed to enjoy the perks of reading the book first.

Oh man sounds like a plan!

Pants?

Well, given what the traditional men's clothing is....

 

[Elfboy]

No it doesnt, it does when they're twenty and you're twenty one.

whatever, your loss lol

 

[Nicodemus]

How do you know that?

Come on, guys, don't kill the Game of Thrones thread with your lameness. You will lose infinite senza points if you do.

Now who wants to talk about RW?

 

[Julius_Van_Der_Beak]

Tonight's episode was hard to watch as a man. Oww.

It's obviously coming in episode 9. They're bulding up to it really well, especially because I don't think a lot of people who haven't read the books know it's coming. People don't even realize that the crazy guy is Ramsay's Bolton son (and the ones who burned Winterfell), despite all the showcasing of the saltire cross. I've been telling everyone that after Danerys burns Astapor, the season is pretty dull, and there's just a bunch of weddings. I know I'm in minority among fans of the book, but I like the changes they've made to Robb's wife. Do people really think she was better developed in the book? Of course, the show also brought Robb to the forefront more, while the book had Catelyn front and center, so I wouldn't really say it's a flaw of the book.

I don't like the changes to Beric Dondarrion, though. I felt in the book, he was a more honorable character.

I'm actually with you on this one. She was like, some small lordling's girl in the book and he just kind of showed up with her.. It really didn't give ANY reason as to why he fell for her, the relationship seemed so loosely tied that I thought for sure he was planning something a bit dark to help him with the war somehow with it. The show definitely has an emphasis on relationships vs world building, as it should unless you want a few episodes to sound like history lessons, and I think they had to make a girl people would actually like. A real and really good reason for a Stark to go back on his oath.

I think it had something to do with him not wanting to father a bastard because of his guilt about how his half-brother was treated. Even so, she wasn't really a character.
