The one thing I find consistently difficult about Girls is Jessa. For some reason her refusal to mature at all is frustrating for me, and I think it's because people spend so much time telling me how great she is. It feels like there's not any outside pressure on her to change, and unless the show sells her internal

What I really hate about it is that every date rapist on TV is in a fraternity. They could have just had a group of guys do it, but they had to give them Greek letters so that everyone would assume they were a bunch of rapists from the start.

That was…Cupid's bow? They were…love arrows?

I loved how the Hound wasn't even mad that she wanted to stop to kill all those guys. He just wanted her to let him know before the next time she did it. I think he was just happy to have a free meal already cooked.

This is now my official life motto.

Hodor got in possibly his best Hodor of the season this year in the well. Also, thank you to Sam for acknowledging how far the legend of Hodor has spread.

If you read the existing comments, you'll find that a lot of people have noticed this.

I thought about them for a significant amount of time. And if you want to hear about someone who thought a lot about them in a less creepy manner, I suggest the experts review.

I like that Game of Thrones is starting to build a bit of a musical repertoire. Tonight we had Cersei laying out what "Rains of Castamere," is about, as well as "The Bear and the Maiden Fair," playing in the background at the wedding reception. A very appropriate choice, considering the the degree to which the unusual

The magic powers were definitely a plus. The boat she had was probably also helpful.

In addition to the previous responses, they might be taking a break to let anyone who has fallen behind catch up to the show.

I was half-expecting a "not that drunk" reveal when he and Sansa got to the bedchamber, but he held up at a fairly high level of inebriation. I do think that his extreme drunkenness was still a plan to get him and Sansa out of there, he probably just decided there was no need to fake getting drunk when actually doing

I liked Tyrion's expression of pride and amusement at having filled it all the way to the brim. Unfortunately he proceeded to spill some all over himself.

I'm glad to see that I wasn't the only one.

I loved that Trouty's past is shrouded in mystery. We know that he was a high school mathlete, but no one can say with certainty how he got his nickname.

That's actually a phrase that pops up a lot in reference to marriage in Westeros. Robb and Talisa use it in their vows, and Shae and Tyrion used it a couple times last season. It's a very nice phrase, and I like it as a reoccurring theme. Especially since I had it engraved on my fiancee's engagement ring.

I think that Hinds will have more to do next season. Tormund gets to do all the cool stuff like climbing the wall and teaching Jon Snow how to make love to a woman, that involves wandering off in a small strike force. Mance Rayder's only gonna show up when the wildlings arrive in force.

I think the big roadblock of promising Robb to the Greyjoys is tied up in their rebellion. Problem one is that Ned Stark wasn't a big fan of them afterward, and his ironclad code of honor would not make him comfortable with promising his firstborn to a traitor's daughter. The second is that in fostering Theon at

"Bear and the Maiden Fair," is a pretty popular folk song in Westeros. Locke and his crew are fond of singing it so it was probably his inspiration, but that's not quite a normal thing.
