My guess is that Cindy was reallllly young when she had her kid, like 13 or 14, which is why the grandmother decided to raise her and not tell her Cindy was her real mother.

Ooo, deleted…I've never gotten in trouble on a forum before. So this is what if feels like… *checks feelers* Absolutely nothing.

*sigh* I try to deny it, but it's true: I'm a humorless git.

I never said I was a pedant. *farts in your general direction*

It may not be the textbook definition (there are a few), but my idea of a pedant is someone who is a stickler for detail and accuracy. You have demonstrated on numerous occasions a pronounced lack of attention to detail and concern for accuracy. The way you've used the word here, it seems to me you are just saying…

Yeah, that would be me. The Scythe more than makes up for eliminating Tyrion's chain from Blackwater.

I preferred her death in the books too. Her show-death was pure cheese. I didn't care much for her relationship with Jon either, so I'm not bothered by her loss.

It got a "Holy shit!" from me because it wasn't in the books. That was fucking amazing.

That's what I figured. Pretty sure in the book it's Donal Noye who dies in the tunnel fighting back the giant.

Haha, glad I wasn't the only one. It would be such a Bill thing to do.

Yep. This and Hannibal both sounded like the worst ideas ever. I had zero interest in either one until I read about how good they were.

The deaf hit man Molly shot. Malvo visited him in the hospital in this episode.

I know. My first thought was "Oh no, my heart's gonna get broken somehow…"

There shouldn't be any setup. In the books it's a total shock. The only inkling we get is Arya's wolf dream where Nymeria pulls Cat's body out of the water, but even then there's no suggestion that she's still alive. However they do it, ZombieCat is too good a cliffhanger not to use.

Amazingly, no. You are the very first person to post this observation.

Really? Why?

It's definitely Martin's intent that Dany would come to the point where she learns the hard way how difficult it is to actually rule, and sees the compromises she has to make (and that even where she is willing to compromise, it doesn't necessarily solve her problems). She's in no danger of becoming as bad as the…

I don't really care for Ramsay's portrayal on the show, but for kind of the opposite reasons as you have. To me he is a Joker-esque character, and I think it has a lot to do with the actor who plays him. Show-Ramsay is too Puck-ish - "I'm such a naughty boy!" Book-Ramsay is straight-up evil; there's no shading…

It's just a flesh wound!

Indeed. I loved Leo's performance too, but now I want an alternate-universe Django with DJ as Candie.
