Westeros is the continent. The country is The Seven Kingdoms. So the north of the Wall is in Westeros, but not in The Seven Kingdoms.

*Sigh* No, just no. There's no bait and switch going on with Dany's identity. It's an idiotic theory at best. There were people around when Dany was born who continued to remain around her for years to come (Viserys and Ser Willem Darry). They would notice if Dany had suddenly been switched. Also, the 'Stormborn' part…
I'd say that making a character whose nickname is "The Frog" hot is pretty much a WTF in itself.
I really doubt that anyone is going to fill the role that Mance (as Abel) did in ADWD. There are so many changes in the storyline now, and especially in the Winterfell storyline (if rumours I've read are true), that it makes no sense to shoehorn Mance and his spearwives into the mix.
She doesn't know what her father was really like, because no one has told her. How is she supposed to find out the truth when everyone around her lies about it? Google it?
Not this season, at least. Frankly, I wouldn't mourn if they completely forgot that the Greyjoys existed.
Did Stannis really say something like "The sun sets early this time of year"? Um, Stannis, didn't you get the memo? The seasons in Westeros have nothing to do with the time of year.
Daenerys' parentage? That's not a mystery at all (and not particularly interesting either - she's Aerys's daughter, which has been stated as a fact since day 1; her mother, Rhaella, isn't important in the books or the show). Unless you subscribe to some of the out-there theories in which R+L=D, or some other…
A thousand times yes! I get eyestrain from rolling my eyes so much whenever people go on about how R+L=J means that Jon is the True King (tm) of Westeros and is going to end up on the Iron Throne. Uh, no, people - have you read* a single word of this series so far? It's all about subverting tropes.
Without being drunk, that too. Just goes to show that when it comes to being cruel, Cersei is a natural. All that those goblets of wine do is provide her with a suitable prop.
Don, Roger, Pete and Peggy get arrested, and everyone they ever screwed over (or in Don's case, just screwed) comes to testify at their trial. The show ends with Pete trying to do a stand-up routine in prison and getting booed off stage.
There's no such thing as bad publicity. And there's truly no limit to the lack of irony among consumers of luxury goods such as Jaguar. No matter in how bad a light Mad Men's pitch showed Jaguar, there were undoubtedly legions of people who bought into the pitch whole-heartedly.
Yeah, it's not bad in theory. Even the psychology is sound (shorn of its Freudian jargon): that people like doing dangerous things because they're risky. But Pete is of course Pete, and messes up the execution completely.
That's true. But Alicia's reaction wasn't that of a politician being annoyed at her partner's indiscretion - it was that of a wronged wife. If anything, she reacted more strongly than when Peter was actually cheating on her.
The Diane subplot was awesome. Only that really weird abortion debate in the middle felt off. When R.D. suggested that they should talk about 'killing babies', it seemed like an obvious joke on the idea that a Democrat and Republican would have nothing else to talk about apart from thorny issues like abortion … and…
The firm essentially went from Florrick-Agos to Agos-Lockhart, without ever really being Florrick-Agos-Lockhart. An Alicia-Diane-Cary triumvirate would have been so much fun to see … but alas, it was never to be.
The problem isn't so much what Peter has done (in recent seasons) than how the show is depicting him. Alicia has long since given him permission to sleep with other women, yet the show keeps making it seem as if he's an adulterer for sleeping with Ramona. He had every reason to be pissed that Alicia threw him under…
It would have been great if we could have had a Cary-centric episode shortly after his trial storyline ended, to show us how he's coping with having his life abruptly turned upside down, and then abruptly turned back. But nope - all Cary has done this entire season is look miserable while he sits quietly waiting for…
Yeah, it just doesn't make sense. The show repeatedly suggested that Prady was the really deserving candidate (not to mention, a much better human being than Alicia), and that Alicia didn't really want to win … and then she won and Prady lost. Makes no narrative sense. Unless this is what the writers think that…
The ads are awesome too: "Diapers! Now, for babies!" "Cleaning Products! Because you're dirty"
