I'm in the middle of getting all the work done that I need to do so my schedule is clear starting Tuesday morning. I. Can't. Wait.

I agree that's a good way to save time and money, if that's what they choose to do.

Hell, no. I don't see them cutting actual POV characters. Plus, you need Brienne, plain and simple. Yes, "A Feast For Crows" was a drag, but that doesn't minimize the importance of the scenes she's in or the people she interacts with. Plus, I appreciate her own presence as a (very rare) female warrior. I'd be…

I should love Davos, but I just don't. Like you said, the Battle of the Blackwater is epic, but I, too, am strangely disenchanted when his chapters arrive.

I read the naming of the kid after Tyrion as an insult since the child was the product of a rape by a gang of commoners. But I could be misremembering/misinterpreting.

I suppose Lollys isn't as important as the noble household part. Any lady would do. But she's such a pathetic character! I find that I'd hate to lose her.

And Gilly eventually plays an important role. I suppose they could just come upon a lost wildling girl and make her Gilly, but ... bad shit goes down with Craster. You need him in there to set up the next John Snow storyline.

But Lollys marries Bronn, doesn't she? Leading to him turning his back on Tyrion? That seems important in the future.

"... in his ridiculously attractive leather pants similar to the horrible Criss Angel's."

Oooh, him too. And I'd like to dig Joffrey up and kill him again.

Gorgeous! And now I'm even more eager for the next book. (Hello, Julia!)

I definitely understand the feeling! My sister watched that episode for the first time three nights ago, and I couldn't wait for her to finish so we could screech about it. And without context, it's just a crazy clip. No harm done, I'm sure. :)

You made me snort laugh. Well played.

I want Theon Greyjoy's blood, too.

Slow clap.

That's kind of a huge spoiler, isn't it?

I want to love that picture, but the wonky nipples are throwing me off.

It may not be the deepest, most intellectually challenging show on television, but it's far more than just legions of underwear models shooting smoldering stares. It makes me wonder what, exactly, you know about the show. And as for "ill-adjusted women," well, you're in a thread full of fans, so ... that's a bold…

My sister and I had this precise conversation yesterday. People across the country agree on Bill+Sam!

I don't feel so alone!
