The Iron Throne is mine by rights. All those who deny that are my foes. The whole of the realm denies it, brother, said Renley.

I grew up with four T.V. channels. If you missed a show, you missed it. You gotta wait a week for the next one. I'd mail-order books: take a quarter, get an envelope, send off for it and wait until it arrived. I grew up waiting for things.
