Stannis is tragic. Ramsay and Roose are sadists. Given the way things usually play out, I'm sure everyone will lose terribly.

Some ideas from the cartoon:
1) They travel back in time to King Arthur's court
2) A Japanese scientist creates the world's first female robot ninja, and the Decepticons kidnap it
3) The Transformers are turned into humans in a G.I. Joe crossover
4) They travel to a Middle-Eastern country with a name so offensive Casey

I appreciate the levity in your children-on-fire discussion. This episode bummed me out. I recognize it's the same emotion from previous horrible events, except this time I didn't know it was going to happen. D&D's perverse commitment to GRRM's brutality, even when the execution is bungled, is kind of admirable. We

I had this reaction. She's dead! She just got killed by a random kid with a bolo! The world is chaos and fire! But when you watch it as an adult, it's pretty goddamn silly. He's a kid playing in the street, turns sinister, and makes an impossible shot. It's a comedy beat, and he jumps in her convertible and drives off.

I think the "Do You Have Royal Blood? Your Last Name May Tell You" one is very apropos.

I can spoil that for you. Seriously. Um, SPOILERS FOR GAME OF THRONES ENDGAME IN A GEORGE RR MARTIN INTERVIEW, FIRST OF HIS NAME AND KING OF THE ANDALS AND THE FIRST MEN

I like it. There is some great storytelling, some wonderful acting and directing. It takes a while to get into. If you can stand horror you can stand the gore. If you've ever read a Conan story or watched Dragonslayer or wanted to go to Medieval Times, even ironically, then you'll enjoy it. There is much that might be

From looking at the wiki in some versions the gods replace her with a deer at the last moment. Her holding the deer is a cruel nod to this.

1. Income inequality.
2. #WesterosIsUs
3. When Adam delved and Eve span, who then was the gentleman?

Yeah @Piecar, can you spill more details? Why is Nutter a nutter?

It was sandy and they were into guerilla warfare, I think.

He played Worf.

Mance Rayder would be a great John McClane, had they not burned him alive.

I think going blind's too good a cliffhanger, and she can (suddenly) warg next year.

I think she might just approach Trent and stab him, distracting him with her real face. Try to go to the brothel, try to steal the face, get into trouble with H'gar, end up blind, cliffhanger.

"Well Abe says, 'Where do you want this killing done?'"
God says, 'Out on Highway 61.'"

The decision to make her jump on Drogon out of concern for the dragon didn't work as well as book version where she is just trying to get out of the chaos. The whole thing did not seem very triumphant, or special. As someone else put it on another board, "I was waiting for the clone troopers to show up."

That was a little brutal. I'll do as others and praise Dillane's acting, really loved his harried look, and Ingram was really great. Even as I worry D&D/GRRM are going to rock bottom levels of shock/grimdark, this is how people felt at the Red Wedding without knowing beforehand. I admire the show jumping off in the

GAME OF THRONES BOOK SPOILERS Right after the episode played on HBOGo there was a defense/explanation by the showrunners bottled with it. They seemed to imply the same thing will happen in the books.
