Let all true men declare their loyalty for Stannis Baratheon! Successful and battle proven military leader (held Storm's End, Destroyed the Greyjoy fleet) and leads from the front (see Battle of Blackwater Bay Season 2). Experienced Administrator as Master of Ships on the Small Council. Believes in Meritocracy promoting Davos Seaworth to Hand of the King. Believes in rule of law. He rewards when merited and punishes when required. A good act does not wash out the bad nor a bad act wash out the good. Stannis 2016! Had he not murdered Renly, I would be there with you. Alas he did. 
Were I in that universe, I'd obtain the warmest clothing I could & travel to The Wall & assist the watch as a free-lancer. A person to fight but ready to leave at any time. Or perhaps replace Bronn as Tyrion's sidekick. What was he supposed to do? Stannis gave his YOUNGER brother a chance to do the right thing and he refused because he wanted the crown for himself. Renly got what he deserved. If you read the book, Renly had several GOOD reasons for wanting the crown. The ones I recall best were the fact that the Tyrells of Highgarden & the Dorne'ish were apt to be slaughtered when Stannis took the throne because they were the ones who held Stannis under seige at Storms End. As such, they were NEVER going to back Stannis. So he gave them a alternative who wasn't a Lanister. I have the read the books and like in the show, the throne was Stannis' by right. Renly wanted to piss on the line of succession and steal the throne from his older brother and he paid for it. |

Quoted: Is HBO worth getting just for this show? I say yes, if you are into medieval fantasy stuff. The world the stories are set in really is a good one and very well thought out with huge back stories going back thousands of years. The books are also amazing, I like to listen to them on audiobook while doing other stuff. They are worth a read (or listen) if you've got the time. I'm not a big reader and I got into these books more than I've gotten into anything else I've tried to read. You aren't going to want to jump in at season 3 though, you would most likely get confused and then first couple seasons won't be as good since you know what happens |

Just wanna see if Arya ever turns into a total badass or not, so many possibility with that character considering her life so far.

However, the length of each chapter varies greatly. One chapter could span an afternoon. The next could span a year. And I seriously doubt they will be replacing any of the major child actors in this series (especially one as brilliant as Maisie Williams). |

Ok then that begs the question, if she is supposed to be a certain age in the books, and the TV series goes on for five years, then she will hit that growth spurt that girls do when they are 12-15. So then you have a 17 year old Arya who is supposed to be like 12 in the books. |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Question: Do the books ever jump by a number of years? I am wondering if the stark children ever grow up/ and if they would have to replace the actors in series with older ones. Just wanna see if Arya ever turns into a total badass or not, so many possibility with that character considering her life so far. No, they don't jump, at least not so far. I believe GRRM originally intended a jump of a few years between book 3 and 4, but later changed his mind. Age isn't everything. Ok then that begs the question, if she is supposed to be a certain age in the books, and the TV series goes on for five years, then she will hit that growth spurt that girls do when they are 12-15. So then you have a 17 year old Arya who is supposed to be like 12 in the books. It shouldn't be a big deal. I think everyone understands when child actors grow up. And the books do take place over a span of time. There just aren't any big jumps between them. There can be jumps in time in individual storylines though. The events of Chapter 17 following Jon Snow may take place a week or three after the events of Chapter 10, the last chapter he was in. Just as an example. I don't know exactly how long the books (1-5) span, but I believe it's about 3 years. |

If the books are truly modeled after The War of the Roses, then we could be looking at an eventual 30-year-ish span of events. Enough that there are characters who haven't even been born yet in the book timeline. Maybe.

Some of this is to avoid nude scenes for underage charactera... Like Dany. |
