*dissonant lute*

Given that the show depicts Dorne as comprising Sunspear and a couple of dunes, I'm not expecting a whole lot of subtlety from its treatment of intra-Dorne politics.

Not only this, but I seem to remember that in the book, Jon presented this series of unpopular decisions with his characteristic lack of communicative flair; he appeared entirely dismissive of the gravity of asking the NW to set aside a grudge that goes back hundreds or thousands of years.

It's insane, sure, but I find it entirely believable; most of the NW have likely had more direct experience with Wildling raids than with Others. Visceral, long-standing group rivalries will often cause people to act against their own long-term interests.

Tunnel Snakes Rule.

You want good dialogue, but you need the bad pussy.

The Golden Shot?

She really should. What a stupid bitch.

Sad trombone! At least my embarrassment ensures I won't forget this. (Thanks for the reply.)

Hones in, not "homes" in.

I was borderline offended by the casting.

Am I alone in finding Jeselnik's sexist schtick to be funny? I think he pushes it far enough into ridiculous self-parody that it's unexpected (in sharp contrast to Tosh's constant lazy jabs at women).

Nearly as crazy as the "community" grading a season on the basis of zero episodes.

There is a BAPS joke in here somewhere.

NOOOOBODY EXPECTS A NECROPOST

I have to disagree on one point—I thought George MacKay was the only thing that made Bill's character engaging. He was given a very shallow characterization to work with, but had the charisma to make Bill feel real and believable (more so than the writing alone warranted, at least). Regarding his accent, I live below…

Agreed; that's why I wouldn't trade his reappearance for Harry's. I just think it could have been an interesting addition (if admittedly unnecessary).

MONKEY SLUT

I got a "shady horsecockery" notification for this?

Why thanks! (And a tip of the hat to the AVC commenter whose post I cribbed it from.)
