    I honestly wonder if they're going to ADR slightly different dialogue into the scene for the DVD versions. Not sure if that would be better or worse (it would make the creators' intent more clear, but probably inspire several painfully earnest thinkpieces about the practice of "silencing the victim.")

    It's nice to finally know how to say "If the castle's a-rockin, don't bother knockin" in the Westerosi idiom.

    Considering that the creators explained that the "rape" scene between Jaime and Cersei was them trying to show consensual sex and, from most standards, failing, I'm sort of confused by the reviews/comments that continue to refer to Jaime raping Cersei. Is deliberately misinterpreting what happened in a show something

    It's great that Jonah honestly believes he keeps getting jobs because everyone thinks he's awesome and likes him.

    Only if the Iron Bank tries to win him over with a musical number, only to be horrified when Stannis expresses a desire to use his military to help the crows.

    Well, he can do that little Top Chef snicker-snack thing with them, which really makes me want to see a Westeros-themed cooking competition.

    He's discovered that the key to staying alive in a George RR Martin novel is to never appear on the page in the first place.

    *Funky lute*

    So, Jon just lost four of the eight men who were loyal to him. Is this a good play for Ser Alliser, or is Jon going to walk through the North Gate a righteous hero covered in the blood of traitors?

    Thank you. Fixed. He's saying Gavin because I got it wrong the first time, everyone.

    Best sight gag of the week for my money was Gavin lunging to strangle his IT guy just as the videochat shorted out.

    How long before a screencap with "I've made a terrible mistake" on it goes up on Arrested Westeros?

    It was great how everyone agrees that Gary needs to get a new doctor, one who will give him cortisone injections that will numb the signals his shoulder is sending to his brain that it is ripping apart. Getting rid of the symptoms by leaving yourself with no way to diagnose the problem seems like another apt metaphor

    He needed her to act like she was being stalked by a killer, though. If Freddie Lounds disappears within 6 miles of Will's house after leaving a voicemail that consists mostly of screaming, Hannibal will think Will killed her, which will make him trust Will and stop looking for Freddie. If Will acts normal, tells her

    Not all, but possibly many- Hannibal does tend to drug/brainwash his victims before killing them.

    Oh no! Assholes might come up with an asshole interpretation of this? That never would've happened if Fuller hadn't picked this one, specific story!

    She's not my special lady, she's my fucking lady friend. I'm just helping her conceive, man!

    I think Hannibal's gonna go on the run for Season 3 (thus paralleling Hannibal the book the way this season has been paralleling Silence, with Will allowing Lecter inside his head, putting his own psyche at risk in order to solve a series of murders), and one of the places he's going to lay low will be at the Vergers.

    Excuse me, but they were polling Americans.

    I thought he played Othello? Kenneth Branagh played Morpheus, but he didn't direct like he usually does, and Samuel L. Jackson was the Jedi that Morpheus suspects of sleeping with Desdemona.
