At least she's got ambition.

With Matthew around, Mary would have only one kind of 'dramatic' possibility, i.e. marital spats with him. Without him, she has greater possibilities. Not that Fellowes will actually explore those possibilities, of course - but at least while the season is young, we can delude ourselves into thinking that Mary's story…

Well, yes, Cersei's "heartless harridan" ways do inform my opinion of Jaime somewhat. But what I meant was that from Jaime's point of view, Cersei essentially dissolved their partnership when she gave him up for dead, and started auditioning for his replacement in the bedroom. His love for her had been his major…

And doesn't Cersei completely abandon him in his time of need? At least, from Jaime's perspective, she does. He's left to moulder as a prisoner of the Starks for several months, while she sets about trying to seduce every man in the Red Keep.

As always, TV Tropes has a trope for it: Do Not Do This Cool Thing

Yes, he's a pretty decent guy - I didn't mean to imply otherwise. I meant it as a good thing that he encouraged Peggy to go somewhere she would be appreciated as a creative individual in her own right, and not just as Don Draper's jumped-up secretary. Of course, poor Freddy - and poor Peggy - had no way of knowing…

Freddy always maintains an avuncular attitude towards Peggy - he's the one who (big spoiler for the newbies) encourages Peggy to leave SCDP in season 5.

Why are you apologizing? I love your second reviews. No slight to Todd meant - it's just nice to get more than one intelligent perspective on a great show. Keep up the good work. :)

"By the waters, the waters of Babylon / We lay down and wept, and wept / For thee Zion."

"Kids … that was the day my whole family died, but I didn't even care, because I was busy boinking your mom."

The Riverlords were directly affected as well - half of Robb's army was composed of Riverlands men, after all. Most noble families from the Riverlands and/or their retainers lost someone in the Red Wedding.

His old man wasn't planning to touch Winterfell at all, since it's so far inland, and the Ironborns' strength is at sea. It was Theon's own (not-so-)brilliant idea to go capture Winterfell, instead of raiding along the coast.

I'd never thought of it that way before, but what you say makes perfect sense for Robb's motivation for marrying Jeyne, i.e. that she might follow Ashara Dayne's footsteps.

The last chapter of the last book will be a Rickon POV. It'll be one paragraph long, and will go something like this:

Well, there's a kind of nasty slap fight among the ladies fighting over the bouquet …

How do his deeds not bear it out - from book three onwards, that is? Literally everything he does from after losing his hand onwards is about trying to be a better person in every way. He risks his life to save Brienne, and even helps her in her quest to find Sansa. He tries to take his job more seriously. He helps…

Ugh, no. IMO, Penny and Sheldon would be a worse couple than Penny and Leonard (if that's even possible).

Just to clarify - Joey turned up in a fat suit in a different episode. It was just a tag scene in which everyone imagined what would have happened if Monica had hooked up with Joey instead of Chandler: Joey would be fat because of Monica's cooking. In other words, the Leonard/Raj scene essentially ripped off the…

Nothing about Penny and Leonard's relationship is healthy. He thinks of her as that hot girl he must possess. She thinks of him as that nerdy guy she allows to sleep with her because she's doing him a favour or something. Neither or them respects each other as a person, and they seem to have very little interest in…

Lol! I agree, I was more annoyed at that little breach of decorum, than the fact that he had smashed poor Adam's heart into a pulp.
