Tywin showing to his engineers the plans for his Whore Tunnel

In case you don't know, the tunnel used by Tyrion to arrive to the brothel in ACOK, the one made by a previous hand of the king, it's theorized to have been made by his father Tywin. It's not openly said but I take it for canon and there are evidences

Basically Tywin made a tunnel to enter a brothel and have sex with prostitutes

[Spoiler Main] How you would have made the five years time skip works?

For how the story evolved to me the time skip makes no sense but let's play a game and try to make it work

Let's focus on the POVs instead of the whole world

Now Bran is quite easy, he finds Bloodraven and pass the next five years learning stuff and mastering his powers

Daenerys could stay in Meeren ruling the city planting trees while her dragons grows

Brienne could keep her quest to find Sansa without success, quite sad tbh but eh

Cersei I have no idea, considering how fast things in King's Landing moves and her character I don't how I could put her in "pause"

Same thing with Jon, he becomes Lord Commander and pass the next years doing nothing? Considering the urgency of his mission on how active he is it doesn't make sense. Also Stannis is supposed to stay at the Wall for the entire time? Eating their supplies? Bowen Marsh would have an heart attack

How you guys would have make it work?

(Spoilers Main) Bowen Marsh just managed to piss off everyone

By killing Jon I mean

I can understand his motivations but the assassination attempt doesn't achieve much for the brotherhood

Even if Jon will not survive/resurrect there are three thousands(?) wildlings looking for revenge plus some brothers still loyal to the lord commander. You are just asking for a slaughter now

Also there is the problem with the pink letter, to be fair to them any situation involving Ramsay is a pain in the ass but I doubt the murder of Jon will appease him

They have 0 possibilities of satisfy his demands since they can't give him Melisandre, Arya and Reek

A better option could have been to use Jon as a scapegoat, letting him leading his army against Ramsay and declaring him a traitor. If he somehow manage to win even better

Stannis is going to be pissed off, Queen Selyse was not very found of Jon but if she found out that he was about to fight Ramsay she will be very pissed off and let's not mention Melisandre who had a special interest in Jon

What do you think? Was this a poor planned assassination attempt or just the decision made in an emotional rush? Was Bowen Marsh thinking Jon's death would have fixed everything or he just wanted to make justice no matter the consequences?

Who are the legitimate King and Queen o' whores of Westeros?

For the title of King o' whores I think it's between Robert Baratheon and Aegon IV in what might be a battle for the ages in terms of cheating and bastards making

For the title of Queen o' whores, Jaime himself thinks it's her sister Cersei

> "Lord Ryman crowned me his very self. I'm the queen o' whores."

> No, Jaime thought, my sweet sister holds that title too.

Any notable contender?

(Spoilers Main) Best commanders at the end of a Dance with Dragons

The ones that come to my mind are Randyll Tarly, the one true king Stannis Baratheon and the best swimmer of all time Brynden Tully

Any notable omissions?

There are some I find hard to rank like Jon Connington, Barristan and Roose Bolton

Do you think the movie about the Aegon's conquest will make justice to the other kingdoms (Dorne in particular)?

I hope it's not another product about how good and sweet the Targaryen protagonist is but it will also paint the seven Kingdoms fighting against the invaders in a good light

I bet the antichrist will have a similar origins story

"I was hunting a fox along the Weeping Water when I chanced upon a mill and saw a young woman washing clothes in the stream. The old miller had gotten himself a new young wife, a girl not half his age. She was a tall, willowy creature, very healthy-looking. Long legs and small firm breasts, like two ripe plums. Pretty, in a common sort of way. The moment that I set eyes on her I wanted her. Such was my due. The maesters will tell you that King Jaehaerys abolished the lord's right to the first night to appease his shrewish queen, but where the old gods rule, old customs linger. The Umbers keep the first night too, deny it as they may. Certain of the mountain clans as well, and on Skagos … well, only heart trees ever see half of what they do on Skagos.

This miller's marriage had been performed without my leave or knowledge. The man had cheated me. So I had him hanged, and claimed my rights beneath the tree where he was swaying. If truth be told, the wench was hardly worth the rope. The fox escaped as well, and on our way back to the Dreadfort my favorite courser came up lame, so all in all it was a dismal day"

Btw press F to pay respect to Roose for losing his fox

(Spoilers Main) Are there any non POV character you would have liked to see as POVs?

I think a Varys POV would have been really interesting, I know the appeal of the character is partially because he's mysterious but we had a chapter of a similar mysterious character in Melisandre and it was great to see her thoughts, her doubts and some informations we never had before

In a similar way it would be cool to see Varys thought process, ambitions and goals. We also never had a proper "mastermind" as POV

I would have also liked to see Roose Bolton, considering how good George's writing is for the villains (Cersei's chapter are a proof) I think it would be interesting to explore the darkness that lord Bolton keeps inside

He just let the old man under the rain for an hour, he even fell asleep under the rain

Was he trying to kill him and make it look like an accident? Is Sam secretly a cold blooded killer?

My top favorites are Lord Commander Snow in ADWD and Jaime after he loses his hand in ASOS, the number one spot is between these two

In the third spot I would put Cersei as queen regent in AFFC

My least favorites have to be Daenerys as queen of Meeren and Sam's travel in AFFC

What are yours?

For being one of the most important plot points in the first books, I can't say it was a satisfying conclusion

I mean, it can makes sense because Joffrey is a monster and a moron but the motive is kinda meh
