^^^ Well, if he happened to show up to Westeros in one of his suits, I don't think even Danny's three dragons would have a hope of stopping him if he really wanted to sit on the Iron Throne. 
Although, may the Seven help him once his power cell ran out of juice.

^But shouldn't he be allied with the Iron Born?
I don't think Tony would get along with them too well. Iron Born are highly douchefied.
^Plus with that smart ass attitude of his, they'd cut his tongue out and throw him overboard to the drowned god...
Heh...I get the impression that Tony's individualism wouldn't get him very far in the Seven Kingdoms in general. He doesn't strike me as a person exceptionally ready to bend knee to anyone. I think he would be better suited for the Free Cities of Essos. Or maybe he could dig up some cool ancient tech from Old Valeria.
^ I don't know, I think he and Robert Baratheon would enjoy drinking together. And I'm sure Robert would find Tony a useful man to bring on a boar hunt.
Oh no doubt. One of Tony's hand-based plasma casters could fry a bear at 100 yards. Wouldn't even have to cook the thing.
I stole this and posted it on facebook - it's great!
One of my coworkers is a big fan of Iron Man as well as Game of Thrones. I took this picture when he was at a conference a few months ago.
Well he certainly has the wealth for it...
I have finished book 2, and I am moving on to book 3.
I wonder how I will like a Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons? I love the Two Towers in the Lord of the Rings, and a lot of my friends found the middle book to be boring and tedious.
The first POV chapter from Jamie is a riot. He is a scoundrel, but I find it hard to hate him.

Rumor: Noah Taylor and burn Gorman has joined the cast :

I liked Taylor in almost famous and Charlie and chocolate factory, unfamiliar with Gorman but apparently he was on a show called torchwood and recently TDKR

That's the thing. In GOT, he is an absolute piece of shit who throws a child from a roof and later cold-bloodedly kills Ned's men. But a few chapters told from his POV and you find yourself, despite your best efforts, liking the SOB. The way Martin handles his character development is brilliant.
As the books wear on, I hate Cersei more and more.
I was never even a fan of her on the TV show, but the books have given rise to a new level of disgust. My friends that had read the books previous to the show starting, said that they were trying to "soften" her. Well, I thought she was a big enough of a witch on wheels just watching the show, and could not imagine how the show had made her more than just a scheming, shallow woman. Because that is how I saw her. But, the books....Never have I wanted a character to fall so hard in my life. Well maybe William from Pillars of the Earth, but she is gaining on him. (The actress does a great job, BTW.)
I can understand Cat's motivations more having read the books. The show just made her look totally self absorbed and witless when she let Jamie go. In the books, you can see how her world is unraveling around her, and she fears that Sansa and Robb are her only children left. That being said though, what she did was still wrong in my book. Other people had lost just as much or more as Cat and they were still going on. What she did was a slap in the face to all of the Bannermen and women of House Stark and Riverrun that had lost so much in the war. She was not the only one suffering.
Ultimately I can sit back and say from the comfort of an armchair - it was a selfish act, but I kept wondering if I would have done the same? In the end, who would not forsake their honor and use what power they have to save their children?
The wolves are an integral part of the tale in the books. I suppose the cost of CGI precludes using them a lot in the series? (Plus, I imagine dragons are not cheap CGI either.) However, the Stark children's relationship with thier wolves is so touching, really. I guess the show is showcasing that some with Bran and Summer + Jon and Ghost.
I cannot get over how much more compelling the Night's Watch story is in the books. I am not sure why the TV show feels such a letdown, but they don't seem to be infusing the beyond the Wall story with the same level of urgency as the books.
