Lorch's death was kind of cool in the books, as part of the successive cruelties at Harrenhall with Lorch, Roose, Vargo Hoat, and Greg Clegane. That place is just bad news for everybody.

T-Dog you don't have to take back the "um," just change the tone of it.

I pictured her as looking like she does in the show underneath some messy hair and gap teeth and dirty skin. Like if you take that lady and send her out in the woods for a few days and also give her no dental care her whole life. I'm definitely into that, just to be clear.

But what about a pack of humans using their feet to push down and their hands to pull up? Still a stretch, but…

Lamp-frey pies.

Trying a few more:

Brienne killing that dude with the sword in the back surprised me. Didn't she manage to just knock people down in the book, then cut her way through the tent and get out? It was Loras who went berserk on the Rainbow Guard.

"Once they figure a way to work a dead horse, we'll be next. Likely I'll be the first too. 'Edd,' they'll say, 'dying's no excuse for laying down no more, so get on up and take this spear, you've got first watch tonight.' Well, I shouldn't be so gloomy. Might be I'll die before they work it out."

I think she is a legitimate operator in the books. She's just too smooth and low-key to get noticed early on and they're deciding to show us more in the series. But when she confronts Cersei in the most recent book, it's clear she knows what's up. And even before that, she always says the right thing or plays the…

They use feet. Always talking about how tall folks are.

They've written out the Freys entirely. Robb never gets dinner at their house.

He's the funniest character in the books, too. The seem to be getting him right. Deadpan humor to deal with a miserable situation.

Yeah he's just a sulky bitch in this one.

Yeah, I believe they saw the armor split and the blood rush out.

Good one.

Yep. And it was an interesting detail in the book, with regards to how the Braavosi interpret the gods.

Thought it was a ring through the labia. It didn't occur to me that it would be a ring for the finger.
