Which non-pov do you like the best?

....they dont have canadians in Westeros....

Sure they do, they're called Northmen: Starks, Umbers, Karstarks, Mormonts, etc.

I also heard that psycho chicken got crushed by the decadent white elephant of Florida.

The Starks arent Canadian.....they actually pronounce the letter o.

If they were...the conversation between Ned and Robert would have gone something this....

Ned: 'Ey hoser
Robert: Hey Stark....
Ned: So, whats this all aboot eh?
Robert: I need a Hand
Ned: A 'and ya doont say....
Robert: Yeah...right wrongs and what not....I smell bacon
Ned: 'Ow aboot a beer hoser?
Robert: And bacon....

Or something like that....sorry bub...the Canadians would be Nightswatch....

Out there by themselves, no one thinks bad of em, rugged and independent, yet really not a threat to any other military power....look at the bright side, least yer not the wildlings.

Edit to Aegon : back bacon

(ps strange brew is the best adaptation of hamlet ever)

Look you learn something new everyday about my brothers and sisters of Northerner Dakota, errr......Canada.

 

[TK-421]

'eh, take off eh!

Now, let's 'ave a beer...

(what's worse is that some us - the lowest of the low French Canadians like me - don't even pronounce our h's )

But, seriously, the Starks are like those from Toronto, think they are a little more sophisticated than the rest of us, especially when you're the "metropolis" of the North. And the North has always lived under the influence and shadow of the South. A great Prime Minister once said "...it's like being a mouse sleeping in the same bed as an elephant. You notice when the elephant rolls over." We once had an independent foreign policy just like the North once had it's own King...but that's a topic for another forum

But I like the idea of the Nightswatch.

The Wildlings are the Aussies (Just shifting the focus of the thread, and kidding of course)

I guess the question is really....which POV would you hate to see because they would ruin the story for you?

Ive said before that I absolutely love the fact that the major players in Westeros never get a POV. Varys, Petyr, Tywin, the Queen of Thorns,...the manipulative sort never see the light of day.

Ned, bless his soul, was a major player but his naivete allowed a certain freedom of exposition that the others lacked...

To somewhat answer the question, the Red Viper-Mountain scene was so dramatic for me, I remember where I was and what I was doing at the time I read it. For the sake of brevity I was in a tent with 6 other guys in the middle of Afghanistan and the scene was so engrossing I gasped at the conclusion. I woke by accident one of the two Army Rangers sleeping nearest me, and when he asked what the heck was going on, I tossed him my really beaten copy of A Game of Thrones I bought on a whim during a TDY to Florida for Water Survival School....

That particular book is in Balad, Iraq now....having been given to a school we (US Armed Forces) helped build there. I stop by every couple of months and read it again, along with a couple of books by Eddings and Jordan. Iraqi teenagers check em out often enough they dont collect dust...and I recently (last week) bought the hardbound editions of each book in ASOIAF and contributed em...even if theyre never read it makes me smile a little inside knowing that theyre there.

Ahhh, Saint Aegon!

Jordon? Seriously?

 

[MemmoN]

Tormund Giantsbane, specially the story where in a drunken rut he mated with a she-bear and the bitch bit off half his pecker yet hes still twice as long as most men! heehee and he says to this day there are reports of his son the sasquatch running around! classix.

 

[Mouse]

Bronn. He's one of my favourites, second only to Dany, and she has her own POV!
