P4: Gritty Reboot Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I don't really have a point lol. I'm agreeing with you that the wildfire is, to a significant degree, magic. Edit: Here's what GRRM said about it, for what it's worth: Wildfire, of course, is my magical version of Greek fire—to go back to the Constantinople reference. And once again, fantasy is bigger, so wildfire is Greek fire times 10. It's Greek fire but it's worse than Greek fire, and it's got a little magical element to it. It's really nasty stuff, and it burns with green flames, which is a nice pyrotechnical effect. Not sure we'll get that into the show, but I'll look forward to seeing it. I hope they do.

Mal Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I believe I had said this before: I am of the mindset that the A Song of Ice and Fire world is very much like ours. Too much in fact. Magic had died in Westeros south of the Wall. East, across the Narrow Sea magic perhaps still exists and it did to a limited extent. Now it is coming back. So my reaction to magic in the show and the books is somewhat like how I would react if magic appeared in our world. Its quite awesome really, to have a mindset like this while reading and watching the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldorf and Statler Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 God dammit I'm just gonna ask since I don't care about spoilers in this one character since he's so badass for me, does anything bad happen to Jon Snow in ADWD?

P4: Gritty Reboot Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 ADWD spoiler. Only click if you're weak! He is stabbed several times by his own men. His last thought is "Ghost" and the chapter ends. There is division among readers as to whether he's dead or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 ADWD spoiler. Only click if you're weak! He is stabbed several times by his own men. His last thought is "Ghost" and the chapter ends. There is division among readers as to whether he's dead or not. He'd better not be dead. I will be PISSED if he doesn't come back in the next book.

Temptation is a bitch. Overcome it! ADWD spoiler. Only click if you're weak! He is stabbed several times by his own men. His last thought is "Ghost" and the chapter ends.

Mal Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 All of Stark (Hint) blood can warg even if they don't realize what they are doing. Think back to the prologue... what did that guy do when he was almost dead? He warg'd to avoid death. So yeah, he is not dead. Someone of such importance cannot be dead. Now for an irrelevant quote... What is dead may never die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I don't believe he's dead. As MH said, there is no point in GRRM carefully setting up the idea of warging and emphasizing it in the prologue if it wouldn't play a significant role in the story. His last word was "Ghost", as he warged into the direwolf. What I don't know is whether he will come back to his own body or another human body at some point. My bet is that he will, and Mel will change her allegiance to him as the fulfillment of the AA prophecies ("I ask to see Azor Ahai and all I see is Snow").

Yo dude, remember that thing I wrote that you got really mad at me for? Bowen Marsh, tears rolling down his face simply utters "For the Night's Watch" as he sticks a dagger into Jon's belly. On more to the back. He falls to his knees, his wounds smoking. He never feels the third dagger stab him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewblaha Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) My reaction to the end of ADWD was more like this: Edit: Actually. That's how I also felt anytime there was a chapter titled "Tyrion" or "Daenerys." Edited May 31, 2012 by Chewblaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
