Winter is a Bitch



Your bracket is busted.  It's April and it's still snowing.  It's baseball season.  Again.  Already.  Despite the infinite list of first world problems one must overcome, all will be well again for one short hour this evening when Hodor and the gang return for what's sure to be a gloriously dark and devious season.

As a quick recap, here's where death pool teams stood at the end of last season:

  10. Maester Aemon
  11. Jagen H'Ghar
  12. Ros, that slut




The Lords & Ladies have convened in preparation for the upcoming season and despite the strategizing, hypothesizing, and predicting, precedent alone tells us that nobody is safe.  Precedent also tells us that the amount of weight one loses directly correlates to his chances of winning an Oscar, but that's a separate blog.  



Draft order was selected based on random number generation (although most would agree that NFL rules would be more appropriate here - the loser, ie, Raiders & Lord of Anxietyhall,  goes first).  


"Random" number generation determined the following order:

  1. Lord of Wolverine Landing
  2. Lady of Whimsey
  3. Lady of Sparklefell
  4. Lord of Anxietyhall
I would argue it's a bit suspect that the ruler of the random number generation realm was randomly selected to go first in the draft.  #bullshit

The Lord of Anxietyhall comprised a list of all characters added during season 3 which were then drafted in the specified order until all of the Lords & Ladies had an additional five members added to their team.  Each character has been given a brief description so that Gendrygate doesn't recur.  Here's the picks:

Dolorous Edd Tollett
Lord of Wolverine Landing (LOWL)
  1. Dolorous Edd Tollett - Nights' Watchman
  2. Jojen Reed - Love Actually kid
  3. Thoros of Myr - Red Priest with Melisandre
  4. Meryn Trant - King's Guard
  5. Missandei - wicked hair with Dany
Lady of Whimsy (LOW)
  1. Tormund Giantsbane - giant ginger wildling leader
  2. Rast - Nights' Watchman
  3. Locke - with Arya
  4. Sir Barriston - old dude with Dany
  5. Rast
  6. Daario Naharis - Fabio

Lady of Sparklefell (LOS)
  1. Gilly - baby mama
  2. Brynden Tully - Edmuer's dad
  3. Edmuer Tully - married during Red Wedding
  4. Olenna Tyrell - gma
  5. Grand Maester Pycelle - old dude with a spring in his step
Grenn
Lord of Anxietyhall (LOA)
  1. Grenn - Nights' Watchman
  2. Meera Reed - Love Actually kid's sister
  3. Walder Frey - evil bastard
  4. Roose Bolton - stabbed Rob
  5. Grey worm


Clearly these teams could be shot to seven hells by the time the clock strikes 10 o'clock but these Lords & Ladies will
