I'm usually not a fan of morphing nouns into verbs — but that one earns you at least one Internet!

Great episode but I continue to be distracted by how much Dizzy looks like an inked-up, redneck version of Travis Fimmel. I kept waiting for the Scandinavian accent…

I always kinda figured that Reed, being a small, quick and not particularly well-armored guy (Crannogman cultural style) would have somehow messed up Dayne's finishing blow or gigged him in the leg like Merry did to the Witch King at Pelennor Field, allowing Ned to finish him off.

I want to know how that area supports that many people and animals!? I didn't see a blade or grass or a river anywhere. Rolling, grassy steppe I get since the Dothraki are our Mongol/Turk equivalents, but it just looked like a freakin' desert as far as the eye could see…

It works very well for fighters with a very aggessive style. It requires pretty much constant movement — not unlike with a two-handed sword where you also have to use it simultaneously for attack & defense. While you give up the damage absorbing qualities of a shield, a good swordsman will simply divert the energy of

Complete with matching spork!

I would totally sign that petition if only to see the corpse humor arms race it would kick off between Thrones and American Horror Story

Cruz torches the house while holding a Bible and wearing star-spangled tighty whities. Trump hires somebody else to torch the house because he's too busy having a threesome in the back of his limo.

Yeah, but he can sooth his hurt feelings underneath a well oiled puppy pile of underage prostitutes. Bunga-bunga!

Pfft. Tammany Hall was locking up the deceased voting bloc for Democrats while your candidate was still in short pants, junior.

Bernie Sanders: Only Jew on the Mayflower.
"What? I was looking everywhere for a decent kosher deli and the boat just left before I could get off…"

I cannot tell you how many versions of the mid-battle betrayal by Lord Manderly I've played out in my head. Watching the look on Ramsay's face when he realizes that, except for one idiot Karstark, the whole of the North plus the recently resettled Wildlings will do everything in their power to reestablish the Starks

That would be most satisfying. I'm kinda wondering how she'd beat Brienne to the punch, though. Because if Ramsay were to ever threaten Sansa while Brienne was in hearing range, she'd beat him to death with her bare hands in the blink of an eye.

Dewey, Stabbum and Howe

I'm kinda with you on this one in that I think Jon will spend most of his time etither in the North or litterally at the Wall despite ultimately being married to Dany. He's not a King's Landing sort (no Starks are) and has too much to do to muck about with court intrigue. Dany has Tyrion and Varys and maybe even Arya

Aha! I had forgotten that little exchange between Tywin and Tyrion. We'll see if it develops, I guess. And yeah, I was wondering how it was that the dragons understood Tyrion's Westerosi. Valyrian grammatical errors that almost get him cooked might have been somewhat amusing, but since we've already had the "to eat

More hyphens than a law firm name!

So the show is sidestepping Tyrion possibly being the 3rd head of the dragon by making the dragons intelligent enough to recognize help when a human offers it? Or am I forgetting when the show alluded to the Mad King's obsession with Tywin Lannister's wife and Tyrion's potential Targ blood?

My longterm prediction is that a lot of Wildlings are going to become Stark bannermen. They have even more blood of the First Men than most old school Northern lords and I think Jon Snow/Stark/Targ has pretty much earned their loyalty by not letting them all get turned into ice zombies, despite the personal price he
