Fandom Congruence

13,465 Comments

When the gods of Fandom are smiling upon us, lovely things happen. In A Song of Ice and Fire, we are hard pressed to find a character whose motives and decency are rarely questioned. It’s not difficult to have great affection for the few we can find, and probably none more so than Jon Snow. The casting of the role must have been a difficult chore, but HBO’s Game of Thrones got it right. Very right.

Rarely has the film/television casting of a role been so convincing as to actually increase the admiration of a much-beloved book character. Kit Harington, a newcomer, gives the character the perfect balance of skill, modesty, and longing. Obviously, the ages of most characters in the television adaptation have been bumped up a bit, but this portrayal of Jon Snow captures his sadness at being shunned by society, and even more hurtfully by his step-mother, in a believable way. Whether he is a teen or a young man, those hurts still penetrate, and in his eyes, you feel his isolation. With the big events that will arise in the series, I can only say, “THANK YOU!” to HBO so many times for the excellent casting job they pulled off, particularly with Ned, Jon, Arya, Jaime, and Tyrion.

  13. Few th?ngs can be easier and more enjoyable t??n taking a yacht charter and spendd a ?eek
    at seea with friends

    Rent ?? si? 12-meter sailing yacht ?ith a captain, y?u c?n get away wit 700 eiros p?r person. Addd t?e prfice
    ?f the ticket ?nd the cost of food aand driknk – will be s?ightly more expensive than “land” tours.
    ?he m??t affordable charter Medriterranean ?ea – Turke ?nd Croatia.
    Pr?ces ar? re?atively low in the boat, air travel cheap, permit
    stamped ?t the airport. And on th? Croatian, and oon the Turkish coast
    t?ere ??e ?ll conditions f?r sailing cruise: islands ?nd bays, clean sea,
    lots of marinas with taverns ?nd bars.

    Croatia

    ?ake ? boat handy in Split. This ?s one oof the main charter bases ?n Croatia w?th
    a lar?? selection ?f yachts, besids just g?t ?ere:
    in summer f?om Moscow t? Split fly charters. ?he town itse?f is also
    worth seeing: the ?ld quarters, the palace
    of t?? emperor Diocletian, and ? fair num?er of bars
    ?nd c?ubs, ?o it makes sense to stay in it after a s?a voyage ?n a couple of ?ays, removing th? housing s?mewhere in the oldd center.

    On t?e yacht, y?u c?n move from Sploit t? t?e north-west, cruising ?etween th?
    islands ?nd the mainland. On t?e island of Drvenik wa?k
    on th? promenade and drinking ?ith Italian sailors iin taverns.
    ?n mainland t? explore Sibenik Cathedral ?f St. James, buy red and ?hite wine
    f?r 12 kuna (just over $ 2) ?er liter ?nd
    catxh th? fish marke begore 11 am unti? the g?ods
    ?ave not yet sold out. ?nstead of Sibenik Zlarin is an island ?ith a
    deserted bay Borovichka and ? small beach.
    Going ?nto t?e mainland Shkradin, you can leave
    thee boat ?nd the wh?le ?ay to get to tthe naational park
    to t?e falls. Fr?m coast t? park 10 kilometers, sso it
    iss nece?sary to rent a sscooter or ? bike or sit on the
    boat, w?ich floats to th? park up thhe river eve?? h?ur.
    The next night standd on the islznd ?f Sali, up at
    6am and buy 3 kilograms of fresh fish from t?e fishermen ?ust have approached
    trawlers – Sali ?s fish factory. Turning ack t? Split, on th? way t? stay in thhe ancient capital ?f Dalmatia, Zadar ?nd wander
    thro?gh the walled Ol? City w?t? Romanesque churches ?nd palaces.

    Turkey

    A popular point of departure – Marmaris. ?t’skind ?f a b?g resort with a yacht marina, where there are numerous offices yacht charter companies ?nd schools.
    It hosts ann annual sailing regatta Marmaris Race ?eek,w?i?h attracts fans f?om
    Germany, Austria, England ?nd Russia, and inn the long busy waterfront ?ou can w?lk alll night,
    going f?om one bar t? ?nother.

    ?he nearest airport ?? Dalaman, here ?n the summer
    fly charters. ?rom Dalaman to Marmaris ?an be reached b? bus o?
    orde? a transfrer in t?e sam? charter company (about
    20 euros p?r person).

    To the east of Marmaris, in t?e Gulf of Fethiye, in th? western part of it, hidden numerous coves
    – youu ??n find one in w?ich, except for you annd y?ur boat,
    ther? will be nobody. Or stay iin a habitable Boynuzbyukyu with a sm?ll tavern, wh??e thee
    tables ?re right on t?e beach and hammocks hung ?etween th? trees.
    Anothe? unspoiled by civilization p?ace – Kekova, loocated ?n t?e road from Fethjye to the resort of Kemer.
    ?etween Fethiye ?nd Kekova exact?? opposite the town of
    Kaas iis a Greek island Kastellorizon, ?hich i? to wrap
    up (of c?urse, if yoou ?ave a Schengen visa).

    E?actly in th? middle ?f the bay on the waterfront of th?
    town is a tavern nexst to ?t -a sma?l pier.

    Shvartuetes, ggo ashore ?nd imme?iately s?t down att the table, which i? ?lready
    t?e wine in the decanter. Tavern kee? two brothers, oone ?f
    whom concurrently serves ?s t?e conductor of the local
    church choir.

    ?f, h?wever, from Marmjaris t? go to thhe west, ?ood
    choose f?r parking bay Bozukkale, ?he?e you caan climb thee cape t? t?e ruined
    fortress on the hill ?nd see the Mediterranean ?ea fr?m the bird’s-eye v?ew; quiet bay Bencik – ?n one side of the weather station, the othe? wood; and Cape Knidos w?th the ruins off the ancient Greek city – preserved cellars
    oof houses, paved road slabs, colonnade ?nd ann amphitheater.
