You bring the battle axes I'll bring the booze.

Actually no, pretty sure that's a design patent rather than a trademark, which is one word FYI...

No, he shouldn't be. The man did kill 3,000 people after all. I understand that you're being sarcastic, but it's uncalled for. As reprehensible as the man's actions were, Marcelo is right. He was still just a man.

Imagine my surprise when I came into the office today and found one of these bad boys on my desk. Little excited, but also a little intimidated. Never worked with an Arduino before...

Well, two people could still recline facing the same way if they sat on the same side. Also, four people could sit facing the same direction with two on one side reclining and the other two sitting at the table normally. Ideal for fireworks and the like I'd imagine.

This was hands down the best episode yet. They did a phenomenal job of capturing things, and when they did stray from the book it was for the better.

And the water it pumps goes... where exactly?

Ummm... no. First off, the ferrate needs to be used almost immediately after it is manufactured. This process can't be used in places without sufficient infrastructure. Moreover, the scale required for this to be practical is found at water treatment plants. It isn't practical for someone treating water for personal…

They're coming outta the walls. They're coming outta the goddamn walls!

I would hardly call the mountain clans or Dragonstone semi-kingdoms. Dragonstone bends the knee directly to king's landing, and the mountain clans to the Vale, though Jon Arryn has been lax about enforcing it.

Remember when Jaimie and Tyrion were sitting down to breakfast together?

No, no it does not. It means the map is curved, or alternatively that it's being viewed through a lens.

Allegorical in what sense? Perhaps I'm not seeing something from the show that you are since the books are framing my experience with it, but I'm rather surprised that someone would refer to the series that way.

They're on a roll as far as cutting out the best one liners. I think it started with taking out Arya's "She didn't hurt you... much!" bit to Joffrey. At the rate they're going, there won't be any "You know nothing, Jon Snow" when the story makes it that far.

Pfft, next you're going to try telling me that applying leaches isn't a cure-all medical procedure.

Glad to hear it. One of my biggest fears was that the council scene would be really hard to follow for anyone who didn't already know who these characters were and what they're discussing.

I think you're forgetting some important details from the book. Specifically, that it was consensual. While he certainly forced her into the situation, she most certainly did consent before there was any genital contact one way or the other.

Agreed. I've pretty much given up on Dany's storyline in book terms. It's somewhat parallel, but it's pretty much a brand new telling of her tale.
