Oh, that sweet schadenfreude… Now you know how GRRM hurts us, newbies. Now you know.

Yeah, that wasn't easy to watch, particularly since the killing started with her and it was just so visceral. Overall, Talisa's death seems like an addition explicitly designed to shut down all fan theories about Jeyne Westerling in the books…

Me too. I'm in my mid-30s, so these movies have always depicted life events a few years ahead of when I experienced them. It's probably because of that they have always felt weirdly prescient to me, crystallizing feelings and concerns that I was just starting to recognize when I watched the previous films.

Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms's love is timeless, yet strained by the pressures of raising their precocious twin daughters.

I think it's a throwback to her earlier comment about how fear taints the blood and makes it less potent. I guess the counterpoint is that a raging hard-on makes it extra-strength magical.

I think @avclub-e57dbebc740250d2c4a370cf6ccb35f0:disqus  was referring to the Second Sons' camp follower…not someone who historically would have been healthy and beautiful.

Remember that the audience doesn't know at this point that the Boltons are total creepshows. That revelation can't happen until after the RW goes down.

Absolutely. But show version of Daario seems like he would rather write you a sonnet than sport fuck.

"Smarmy" isn't really the right adjective for book Daario. He's unpolished and unabashedly sleazy. Show Daario is too gentlemanly so far.

Daario looks like he stumbled off of the cover of a mid-90s paperback romance novel. He isn't nearly sleazy enough and I had a very negative reaction to the character. However, I'm kinda wondering if the showrunners are trying to play up Dany's naivete by having her fall for such a cliche; it could be a deliberate…

OK, so Daario. What the shit is up with the casting of that guy?

It's hardly just the sex workers - everyone in Westeros is really attractive. Bear in mind that Peter Dinklage and Gwendolyn Christie are supposed to be the "ugly" people in the room.

@avclub-e57dbebc740250d2c4a370cf6ccb35f0:disqus : It's a confidence thing. Be tall and own the room; it's sexy as hell. Also, as @avclub-38b1499febaaf938ab1bd279a5cd26ba:disqus  mentioned below, it's just so much easier for a tall guy to talk and move with a tall woman. 
The only downside? No one claims a…

As a tall guy, I do love it when a tall woman just says "fuck it" and goes with heels.

Nope. You get smears on either side of your face, hence redwings.

To play devil's advocate, it would be very unrealistic for Theon to suddenly be this broken-down, mutilated shell of a man with no warning. The books were able to insinuate that a great deal of time had passed, and hint at the horrors that Theon experienced, through his POV chapters. It wouldn't make sense on TV…

The "how can you be this fucking stupid?" look that Margaery shot Sansa at the end of that conversation was magnificent.

I think there's enough money left in the budget to CGI up Stephen Merchant as Wun Wun.

"Did your mother teach you that?"
