A Clash of Kings Entry 4

I won't have too much to write not because I didn't read but because it's already the evening and I haven't had a chance to blog until now.

I read a chapter on Theon Greyjoy (is that the right name?) who was Ned's ward (to ensure that his father behaved). TG was goign back to his father with a message from Robb and is excited b/c Robb is offering to make him a King of the iron islands in exchange for support. Oddly graphic scene where the captain's daughter goes down on TG (a BJ for TG?) and oddly enough TG is kinda generally musing about life during. (I think this is more narrative license, so I will let it go). He gets to shore and meets his uncle who has become some sort of priest. Yet another interpretation of the comet (this time God is on Their Side). TG goes to the castle after an odd remark by uncle about the uncertainty of whether TG is his father's heir instead of his sister. He goes to see his father who is not impressed with the offer and throws it into the fire...unwise move! Father G suggests that he is going to reclaim his crown by force but hints that he will be going elsewhere other than the 7 kingdoms. I hope he doesn't mean to go towards Dany! Her dragons will kick his ass.
CB Note: Ding ding ding! Theon Greyjoy is correct! I remember being surprised about the BJing going on. On her daddy's boat! What a ho!! Seems that TG is quite the charmer tho...
JN Note: Theon is quite the ladies' man. He's also a total horndog, i love it. What do you mean by "narrative license"? Balon (Theon's pops) is a total dumdum. it was a great offer!!! I think its safe to say he wont be sailing after Dany... she doesn't have a kingdom for him to take from her! she's got like a khalasar of a few hundred people and a deserted city. survey says.... RAISIN (gosh darnit cb, WHERE IS THAT PICTURE OF A RAISIN WE AN LINK TO?!?!?!)

RK Note: I am afraid that he intends to march on WINTERFELL! :( That BJ scene ESPESH caught me by surprise because this Theon chapter was the chapter at the end of AGOT that was like "and now a preview of ACOK" and I read it before I started ACOK, EXCEPT that the bj part was left out in the preview version!!! Perhaps too explicit. I get the impression TG is a bit of a douchebag from this chapter.

Speaking of, next chapter is Dany (finally!) who is following the comet east. (I told you the comet was gonna be something to do with Khal Mellin!) They go across the desert and everyone is sick and dying, including her servant who taught her how to pleasure Khal Mellin! NO!!! She finally gets the dragons to eat seared horse (Ew!). Finally they reach a deserted city and set up camp. The city has water and fruit and so they start to get better. She sends out her bloodriders to explore and one of them returns from some of the other eastern cities with people who want to see the dragons. Also, scene with Mormont Jr. about his former wife and how she left him. Also Dany thinks how perhaps Mormont likes her as a woman not a queen. (She's 14...really, is she a woman. Also this makes him a creepy pedophile!) She suggests she will never have another man after Khal Mellin (who tends to leave that impression on women!)
CB Note: Seared Horse, what a delicacy! Maybe Dany is like Rachel (per the song game) - Not a girl, Not Yet a Woman. Hmm...14 yo done with men for ever?? Like that'll last!!
JN Note: its not a comet, its a khalmet... no? not funny? hmmm. dude, i was devastated too when that handmaiden died. was it doreah? i mean, that is important stuff to be taught!!! Who are these three people who want to see dragons??? Good note by cb. I suppose we coudl start referring to dany as britny...
RK Note: They better not try to TAKE Dany's dragons!!!

That's all for today. Sorry kiddos.
JN Note: you can make it up to us by being helpful on saturday's shopping excursion. oh, also, Blue Smoke is on you too...
