A woman as the captain? Ha! Unthinkable.
Then we have the communist line, the doctor who was really casual about her dying, and the pedophilia. Lots of WTF.

I think the Others still not arriving is problematic. Dany not coming to Westeros doesn't bother me too much, I just wish the Battle of Mereen was resolved at the end of ADWD

Someone created a combined reading list of AFFC amd ADWD and claimed that it was a better experience

No way that Joffrey's wedding is coming this year.

Nah, Dorne is cool and I think the sand snakes would translate really well to tv. You can get rid of Quentyn, though.

I like Dany's ADWD plot line too

I'm very skeptical about stretching the back half of ASOS into a whole season.

I am not a whore. I don't watch color television.

And didn't she believe in mystical stuff before? I don't really understand her suspicion here.

My daughter needs to let the men drink

Both Todd and Alan make good points about how history is kind of repeating itself on the show. I thought the episode was all about where the characters stood and their perceptions of their roles (Though Mad Men is arguably always about that).

I think OSHA has outlived her usefulness on the show.

What are they doing to my daughter

Valyria is definitely Rome. You have the roads, the empire, the "lost knowledge", and the collapse. I think ADWD even referenced aqueducts in a Tyrion chapter.

I liked this book a lot. The part where he goes to the alternate future is a little dumb, however.

I actually feel like that's something Martin didn't think of rather than a mistake by Robb

I don't see how she could have abandoned the freedmen just to get to Westeros quicker.

To be fair, Robb was a very good military strategist in the books (and kinda sorts in the show)

Don't do it Robb

We need a "Goodnight Moon" during the zombie apocalypse from Kima. "Goodnight walkers. Goodnight terrible characters. Goodnight shitty plotting."
