A friend brought this up and I feel the need to speculate on it now: What are the odds that they used butt doubles for Jaime and Brienne in the bath scene? :Looking at Gwendolyn Christie I'm just having a little trouble believing that's her, and it would explain why it's all waist down shots for Brienne when we're…

I was wondering about this one. Somehow I think Dany has to learn that Jorah sold her out to Robert before getting back on her side, but they seem to have crossed Barristan doing it off the list. He said that he didn't sit on the small council and presumably wouldn't have know Jorah was the informant, and he doesn't…

So does that mean that you no longer want the leftover prime rib?

Ros mentions Tyrion performing oral sex on her in Season 1. "He's good with his fingers…and his tongue."

And let us all give thanks to the Lord of Light that Rose Leslie does not have such a clause.

It's fairly plausible that cunnilingus isn't popular in Westeros. There are still people in the real world who don't believe the female orgasm is possible (probably because they've never seen one), so why would you worry about what gives women pleasure? They're just recipients of sex in a medieval world, not active…

It also gives us a great feel for how Stannis' wife feels about her daughter. She loves her stillborn sons so much she has them preserved in her bedroom, but her living daughter is secluded in a tower for daring to have a weird skin condition.

Cersei's joy at being able to screw with Tyrion just immediately turning to outrage as her father reminded her that he is still the boss was brilliantly acted by Lena Headey. She has done such a great job with a character that sometimes feels a bit thin, and she continued to bring great emotion through in that moment.…

I once saw a man care about bonus points for knowing where some line came from. He's dead now.

The measuring each up over a boardgame thing is a bit cliche, but I liked the way that Vikings used it to remind us of how alien this culture is. The familiarity of the boardgame scene was undermined by our total lack of knowledge as to what the game is or how it's played. We're reminded that though these are still…

Not only this, but it explains why Siggy remains a valuable character to have in the show. I don't know how anyone else feels about a storyline where Siggy learns to accept her place as Lagertha's handmaiden, but I find one where she's a somewhat politically savvy mover somewhat more interesting.

As Samwell Tarly would put it, "So you didn't know where to put it?"

But an excellent moment for him and Helga as he started to rise for the sacrifice and she held him back. I wondered leading in how they would reconcile his extreme godliness with the fact there's no way they could kill off Floki. His wife stopping him is a smart move that underlines that theirs is a loving…

I think it's mentioned at some point in Season 2 that he has a daughter.

I thank History Channel for putting Vikings in the time slot right after GoT. What it lacks in the gratuitous nudity department it makes up for in violence.

Are we insulting people for liking a show we don't like? Fantastic! I thought I would have to wait for Girls to come back before I could do any more of that.

Jeor Mormont said last season that many rangers have been saved when they've been out past the Wall by Craster. It's probably a lot cheaper to give him wine or an axe every so often than to either give up that kind of outpost or maintain it themselves full time.

I think that the historical accuracy of shield maidens is still up for debate and very apocryphal, but it makes more some awesome imagery.

It seems clear to me that once she has all the Unsullied on her side she's gonna have a dragon roast the slaver. I think she took the slave girl because she needs someone who can speak to the Unsullied for her.

I can't help but think that owing so much to the Iron Bank of Braavos is part of Littlefinger's plan to get the Iron Throne. He's a smart businessman, so he knows that running yourself deep into debt you have no way of paying back is a bad plan. So he puts the crown of Westeros in debt to the Iron Bank, which has a…
