== Some musings about Westeros' climate ==
* Putting it here cos this dips far into the theoretical field of things. Not sure how physically possible this is or not, but make up your own mind about it. The seasons on the world where Westeros and the rest are situated are not caused by the planet's tilt or by an elliptical orbit, which causes seasons on most worlds. On the contrary; Westeros-world has a small axial tilt and as near a circular orbit as is physically possible. The seasons are in fact caused by [
** I'm obsessed with this too. While the moon is "prominent" in their night sky, that ''could'' only indicate its proximity, not its size. It's entirely possible that their moon is smaller than ours and has a weaker gravitational pull. It would be fascinating to see an [[Word of God|approved]] chart of the planet's solar system, with orbits and satellites, etc, similar to [http://www.fireflyshipworks.com/map-of-the-verse/map-of-the-verse/ The Map of the 'Verse] from Firefly.
** [[Word of God]] says the reason for this is supernatural, not scientific.
** Yep. IMHO, you're looking at a tidal aetheric energy type deal, similar to what you had with The Lord of the Rings, with the elves having to leave there, because they were dual physical/astral beings, who couldn't co-exist physically when the aetheric tide was that low/veil between the two was that thick. Best guess, the Wall between Westeros and the North was built close to the end of the last aetheric high tide, which is also why there was talk of runes being in the Wall's design. Back then, the humans would have had magick users who knew how to do such things. At another guess, that is also why the dragons died off, and why they're coming back now. The aetheric tide is rising, which not only coincides with Winter coming, (and is probably partly tied into it, more than any scientific/physical reason for the change in seasons) but would be a big part of the reason why the Walkers are able to come back. At aetheric low tide, you get no magic, and nothing but mundane types of people and animals, which is also why you get people becoming materialistic and thinking that science is all that exists, because low tide periods can last longer than living memory, so non-magickal stuff is all anyone living can remember.
** If the orbital tilt is zero, precession is by definition zero. If precession makes the orbital tilt non-zero, you will get seasons which won't change the average temperature of the planet, and not a sudden "winter". Since years are used as a measure of time, they must have the same length, so the orbit can't change. This leaves fluctuations of the star's intensity, but that wouldn't explain the "long night" - a period in the lore where the sun didn't shine at all, something which would mean the destruction of any physical star because of the lack of photon pressure. This leaves as only option technology. Either the star is simulated, there's a dyson cloud or dyson sphere which is mostly translucent between the planet and the star, the planet contains machines to alter its rotational characteristics, it's all a computer simulation, or multiple of the above. There is no natural phenomenon to explain this, and no simple technology either.
*** Maybe the title sequence is more realistic than we realize, and Westeros is on the inside of a malfunctioning [

== George R.R. Martin will write the bloodiest episodes of each season. ==
This WMG contains major spoilers for the books, so I'll be putting it
<ref>The bloodiest episode of Season One was arguably "The Pointy End", what with the massacre of the Stark household in King's Landing and the Dothraki pillaging of the Lazhareen. In Season Two, he'll be writing "Blackwater" which of course is about the Battle of the Blackwater. Speculating, his Season Three and Four episodes will revolve around the Red Wedding and the capture of Meereen, respectively. "Written by George R.R. Martin" will be code for "SO MUCH BLOOD".</ref>
* We now know he'll be writing episode 7 of season 3, with the working title of "Autumn Storm". Doesn't sound like {{spoiler|the Red Wedding. I expect the episode depicting it to be called "Rains of Castamere", or something to that effect.}}

== Bronn is a [[Self
The woman that attacked him with an axe when he was 12 and was his first kill was his mother (who he said was physically abusive to him). His father, who was ''also'' abusive, was either already dead by then, or was Bronn's ''second'' kill.
