I always wanted to see Reign of Fire as a kid, but never got the chance to. I take it it was fucking garbage?

Also, best dragon movie hands down:

That makes too much sense, of course (though I thought it was supposed to be more of a precious commodity than it's turned out to be). Resorting to it three times just seems really lame.

TV Qyburn was not developed enough.

Probably not, but I got the gist of it. He's a disgraced intellectual who was banished for unethical and dangerous research. So he ended up in Kings Landing peddling power to the kings.

Yep. I had a stronger impression of who Pycelle was.

this show handed out just as many rezzes if not more. wildfire is likely no longer on the table as it seems like they used it all up to blow up the Septum.. if they do have more then its ok to be used.

I can by into this. If he is faceless could he fake his death to take heat off himself? Work from the back ground.

I would love to be on board with this. But, I can not possibly give the showrunners that much credit.
Also, nothing about that evidence suggest he IS a Faceless man. just simply that he has ties to and/or is owed a favor by them. Which is infinitely more plausible.

i hate to pull this trope, but "in the book" he doesnt even have a head. they sent that to dorne. Ser Robert Strong is an abomination of nature.

You are assuming way too much. Ser Robert Strong's face has never been seen in the books...it could be because there is no head, or more likely because it would be recognizable as the Mountain's face. All Dorne got was a giant skull stripped of all of its flesh. Who knows whose it was.

Robert Strong/Theories

It was believed by Ser Kevan Lannister and other members of the small council that Ser Robert Strong is the reanimated corpse of Ser Gregor Clegane, a kind of Frankenstein's monster. The circumstances of Gregor's death, Robert's introduction by Qyburn and Robert's physical characteristics...

It was believed by Kevan Lannister and members of the Small Council that Ser Robert Strong is the reanimated corpse of Ser Gregor Clegane, a kind of Frankenstein's Monster. The circumstances of Ser Gregor's death, Ser Robert's introduction by Qyburn and Ser Robert's physical characteristics strongly suggest this is true.

Supporting Evidence

  • Qyburn lost his Maester's chain for conducting unethical experiments on humans.
  • It is mentioned at Harrenhal by Gendry that Qyburn is rumored to have knowledge of black magic and necromancy. [1]
  • It is never said what happens to Gregor's body, except that his head is sent to Doran Martell.
  • Qyburn says he is making an "undefeatable champion" for Cersei Lannister. Though none of his work is shown or described in detail, it's known he commissions a very large suit of armor for an unknown purpose.
  • Qyburn convinces Cersei to allow him to experiment on the dying Ser Gregor Clegane, among other prisoners of the Red Keep.
  • Mace Tyrell and Randyll Tarly have doubts about Ser Robert Strong's identity. Meryn Trant claims to never see him eat or drink and Boros Blount says he's never seen him use a privy.[2]
  • Strong is said to never speak. Qyburn claims that Ser Robert made a vow of silence, which sounds like a cover story.[3]
  • While the head of Ser Gregor is supposed to have been sent to Dorne,[4] and Doran Martell remarks that the skull he receives is certainly large enough to have belonged to Ser Gregor, Ser Robert apparently never removes his helm, so there is no conclusive proof that he actually has a head.[2]
  • Ser Gregor championed for Cersei Lannister before Ser Robert.[3] She may well trust in Ser Robert Strong simply because he is physically impressive, but it is remarkable that she stakes her life on someone that she barely knows.
Bran's Greendream

While Bran is in a coma from his fall in A Game of Thrones, he has a dream while flying with the three-eyed crow:


"There were shadows all around them. One Shadow was dark as ash, with the terrible face of a hound. Another was armored like the sun, golden and beautiful. Over them loomed a Giant in armor made of stone, but when he opened his visor, there was nothing inside but darkness and thick black blood."[5]

Evidence this relates to Robert Strong


  • The first shadow is likely Sandor Clegane as he wears a hound-shaped helm.
  • The second shadow is likely Prince Oberyn Martell as he wears armor of bronze discs. Also the sun is the sigil of House Martell.[6]
  • The Stone giant is likely Ser Gregor Clegane as he is referred to as "The Mountain" (which are of stone) and his helm is adorned with a stone fist.[6]
  • The poison Prince Oberyn uses on Ser Gregor is noted by Pycelle and Qyburn to have turned Gregor's blood black.[7] [8]
  • The stone giant is headless and Ser Robert Strong is possibly headless as well.

One of my favorite little bits of the last book was the prologue where everyone on what's left of the Small Council is bullshitting about how that's just obviously Glegane walking around.
