I beg you to listen to yourself.

But she *was* "HERE". And Jaime went ahead and forced himself on her HERE, when she said "not HERE". (Meanwhile, she struggled and tried to push him away and get him to stop.)

I don't see where in the text you find any evidence that Cersei wanted sex anywhere.

As you may have noticed in the scene, she was in the location at that time, and she was still in that location when Jaime forced himself upon her.

It demonstrates that Graves also has a troublingly muddled understanding of what rape is.

"you believe that a man is guilty of rape if he initiates contact in an undesirable setting"

…I guess, but the show established that Stannis has ships, and the Wall can't possibly extend *into* the actual ocean.

Tyrion Lannister, in the end, did not fuck gold.

They sailed *past* the Wall and rode inland to Castle Black.

Sorry, what I was referring to by "You mean the end of 'A Storm of Swords', right?" was when you said "assuming [tonight's episode] covers all of the end of 'A Feast for Crows'".

Martin has a very well-regarded series of prequel short stories set about 90 years prior to the events of the novels.

The situation is pretty unstable though, so this is…

Every dialectological research project in the last 15 years has found Rhode Island to still (mostly) maintain the difference. The major reference is Daniel Johnson's 2010 book "Stability and Change Along a Dialect Boundary", which specifically studied the border between Rhode Island and Massachusetts and found the…

On the US side of the Great Lakes they're different (except in northwestern Pennsylvania and the sparsely-populated regions around Lake Superior). On the Canadian side of the Great Lakes they're the same.

About half of North America. They sound the same in the northern two-thirds of New England; western Pennsylvania and nearby Appalachia; most of the western US; all of Canada; a growing minority of people in the South; and probably by now a majority of people in the lower Midwest (i.e., central and southern Ohio,…

The fact that it's clear in the book that Sandor isn't dead doesn't mean he's going to appear again in the story, though.

Presumably it was just that they painted themselves into a corner with Yara's scene in the season 3 finale and had to deal with it and get it out of the way.
