Yeah, the idea of Roseanne as any sort of feminist icon vanished before the show went off the air. I think you'd find a great deal more appreciation for Roseanne Conner as a (considerable) feminist icon than you would ever find, even amongst most ardent feminists, for Roseanne Barr. That was true in the mid-90s and…

@disqus_vWmGD8vjxm:disqus, I love your honesty, though I can't say I ever saw you looking like an idiot. :) Just for writing this, I think you're buckets full of excellent. Cheers!

Ssssh… you weren't supposed to remember that….

It's the opposite of Terrance & Phillip's song.

I could easily be proven wrong on this, but I suspect we're not going to get Howland Reed beyond what we've seen of him so far. My main reasons for saying this are time and resonance: (a) I doubt the show, with so little time left, would redirect the amount of time required to re-insert Howland into the story; and…

So, in a week then?

Would you like to check? ;-)

Not this season, but next: barely anybody's safe aside from four: Jon, Dany, Bran and Tyrion. (Dany and Tyrion risk becoming more expendable by the end, though more in a heroic/tragic way) Anyone and everyone else is, dramatically speaking, fair game.

It'll be a domestic comedy called "My Little Bronnies."

Hey, he was in Merlin, back in the day…. and he was good in it.

Just a thought in relation to all of the whatzup with Bran and why doesn't he…. stuff that is inevitably coming up:

I'm with you — I'd like at least one of them to survive to unite with the Sam storyline eventually (Dickon, preferably, because he's very much closer to being sympathetic to Sam), but right now the show needs deaths even more than it needs tits and I suspect both Tarlys are going into the Fargo wood-chipper very, very…

Previously, I might have agreed with you, but now the show's in a hurry and has no GRRM books to guide them. The show's also searching for people it can kill from episode to episode without being major players on the chessboard. My gut says neither of them survive and that the show doesn't worry a bit about that…

Will most people recognize him? Sure, a few people will, whether from (say) Black Sails or Merlin or whatnot, but I suspect most American viewers— or, actually, most viewers outside of the UK— won't notice.

Re #9: I'll mark this as a spoiler, even if it's just a guess: Littlefinger's most dangerous quality has been his gift for persuasion. So, he'll either be poisoned or, more likely, have his throat cut, perhaps by that sweet new dagger Arya's had re-gifted to her. Live by the word, die by the word.

Methinks not. I'm guessing they both go into the compost heap next episode. And that's a shame, 'cuz I like Hopper and (though he usually plays despicable characters) James Faulkner's a good actor, too. But, nah, in a season moving this fast, they're both wormfood next week or sometime before the end of the season.

My guess isn't Cersei…. it's LF himself she'll kill with it.

Now, find a way to set this to the tune of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."

I liked Dickon. Alas, I doubt Tom Hopper has much longer in Westeros.

I liked the… er… hmm… uh… Sorry, I got nuthin'. Nuthin' at all.
