I'd argue there was maybe one Theon chapter too many (lots of sitting around Winterfell without much in the way of plot progression). As a whole, though, I agree that it was one of the most interesting storylines in the book.

I also enjoyed the moment when Lady Olenna nonchalantly tossed one of the necklaces over the railing of the balcony.

**SPOILERS FOR A DANCE WITH DRAGONS**

Yes, if I remember correctly, they're the only "tribe" among the free folk that have a king, style themselves as lords, live in castles, and forge their own weapons and armor out of bronze. For some reason they seem to have incorporated aspects of the ice river clans (i.e. cannibalism) into the television adaptation.

That's crossin' the goddamn line!

Why not, it worked out great for them last time. Then all they need to do is find ghost Harry to teach said child to only kill the bad ones.

I was waiting to hear Rick come up with a hare-brained, clownshit insane escape plan (as stupid as the example stated above). Needless to say, what he actually said was pretty damn disappointing.

I remember thinking to myself: this next line better be good, cause he's sure as hell taking his time with it. Needless to say, it fell flat.

How dare they!

Nothing concrete about it yet, they've merely announced that it's in the works. It will be set in the same post-apocalyptic world but follow a different set of characters.

They had to go and pull a Rubber Man on us. The moment the Scythe removed his helmet and addressed his cohorts in a squeaky high-pitched voice, whatever shred of mystique/menace they'd managed to build up around him vanished.

Wouldn't it have been more efficient for Ilaria to send 10-20 drones instead of an entire fleet?

You can never start close quarters combat training too early.

How perfect was the song that closed out the show? For those who are looking for it, it's "The Angry River" by The Hat ft. Father John Misty & S.I. Istwa.

Anyone wearing giant hoop earrings during the zombie apocalypse is just begging to get their ear lobes ripped off in an altercation with a walker or a deranged survivalist.

Just what this show needs: alien vampires.

Worse, he's a club-wielding psychopath who swears a blue streak every time he opens his mouth (the guy drops deleted expletives like commas).

You've got a point there.

I'd always assumed they'd set a rendez-vous point, especially after they went through the trouble of placing their precious equipment and supplies (guns, ammo, presumably food and medicine) on the bus before fleeing the prison. Now their entire stash has gone up in smoke as a result of their own piss-poor planning.…

Perhaps some of the passengers died from mortal wounds sustained during the attack on the prison and turned some of the other passengers, who then went on to turn other passengers (and so on). Assuming this was the case, however, it seems inevitable that at least a few of the passengers would've managed to get to the…
