He could be Tyrion's version of "Head" Six from BSG. It would actually be a pretty decent way to get some of Tyrion's internal monologue from the books worked into the show. ;)

Artisanal, small-batch bakery comes to Westeros! This is awesome, at least until Hot Pie grows and handlebar mustache and starts riding a fixy.

It's weird but oddly touching that Helena has pretty much unconditional love for Sarah. Even post getting shot she always says "I already have a family. I have a seestra and a niece." She's also batshit crazy and the most unlikely of vehicles for redemption for all the clones, but I love that that is where it seems to

No, the best part with Helena would be later on when she would graphically and matter-of-factly over-share about one of the craziest nights of your life in a public forum (dinner with the parents, just hanging out with Felix, etc.) in her adorably fractured English. "And den, I make him to put on giant teddy bear

Who wouldn't?
Bonus points if she hitched a ride with Dr. Krieger in his awesome van. Clone solidarity!

We need a good natured rumble between the Vikings and Game of Thrones location scouts and cast for some particularly great location. That would be epic, and probably break the internet.

According to MIchael Hirst, season 3 will have a 120 boat raid on Paris, so I think Floki is going to be pretty busy.

Stannis is the political cowbell to the soundtrack of Westeros politics.

Iron Throne Chef.
Tonight's secret ingredient: Poison!

Pretty well done, I'll admit, but once double dagger flourishing began PLUS villainous monologueing you didn't need to be Jojen Reed to figure Karl's time was just about up. But well played, Burn Gorman — I'm sure somewhere Jack Harness is hoping you kept the black leather outfit.

OK, I'll quibble a tiny bit with Backstory Corner. I don't think the implication is that Littlefinger can predict the actions of other players with 100% acuity, I think it's that he has uncanny insight into the motivations and *likely* actions of those players. Many things set the War of Five Kings into motion, and as

Interesting, but I think the Night's King is not the ultimate enemy, but one of the principal henchmen — not unlike the Witch King of Angmar being the most powerful of Sauron's Nazgul. Assuming Melisanrdre is correct, that enemy would have to be a peer of the Red God. The Night's King started out life as a mortal. I

I'm sure there's a "Tower of the Hand" joke in here somewhere. Maybe in a later episode when Margaery is tutoring Tommen on the geography of her King's Landing…

At least until they can find a strange woman laying in a pond distributing swords…

Rollo/Rolf the Walker took over Normandy in 911, about a century after the tv show is set, so probably not — unless they take some serious liberties with the timeline. Hopefully season 3 will show the Vikings raiding up the Seine River and sacking Paris, though.

Yeah, I was completely taken out of the moment during some of the battle scenes by the Burgonet helmets that would not have shown up for another 600-700 years. Glad I wasn't the only one bothered by that. That aside, it was a huge and amazingly well done battle scene!

Agreed. But given the abysmal performance of Aella's troops despite their superior equipment and the completely unjustified smugness of the Northumbrian leadership I think they just needed a fairly obvious way to show Ecbert as a Thinking Man's general. Athelstan reading him Caesar's histories before bed is not a bad

She's a nice bit of comic relief now that Floki's story has become so treacherous and hostile. "I'm going to raid Mercia" will undoubtedly become Ragnar's new, transparent euphemism for fathering yet another brood of kids with Princess Hot Pants.

How does Horick remain King? His tactical and strategic decisions continue to be complete shyte! I understand his lust for revenge, but hey lets waltz through the countryside with no scouts put forward, charge an enemy of unknown size, give up the high ground, advance into a choke-point (not that type of choke point,

I soooooo want to discover that Nestor Carbonell to made a Bat Manuel joke in the out takes for this season when the DVDs come out. All we need now is a cameo by Patrick Warburton…
