Also, you should lie top to tail, with your feet wedged in each others armpits to minimize loss of toes to frostbite.

That's a good analysis.  The most interesting character developments for me have been and continues to be the younger characters.  Most of them, in one way or another, have been taught their beliefs and their role in society, Dany with her deference to Viserys and her trust in him to retake King's Landing, Sansa and…

I've been really interested in the accents they have chosen for the different characters in GoT.  Whether characters come from the north or south in Westeros has correlated to them having either northern or southern English accents.  I'm also surprised that the Wildlings don't have Scottish accents given Westeros…

For chrissake, the school-boyish ragging on the actresses bodies each week never ceases to amaze me. 

That's a great observation ironbanker.

You can't spell 'Pimp' without 'Imp'

And a thousand YouTube clips were born!

A lot has been said about Jaime's love for Tyrion, I think I've even seen Nikolaj Coster-Waldau talk about it in interviews.  And their relationship certainly stands in stark contrast to Cersei and Tyrion's antagonism.  But didn't Jaime set Tyrion up last season by giving his dagger to the assassin he paid to off…

I don't hate Chang's child army as much as you, but I still 'liked' for "Changlorious Basterds".

Oh. My. God…  Now it all fits in to place.

Now Dougal, *this* cow is small, but that cow is far away…

I have read a criticism from an ex-classmate of Dunham's that there were people of colour in her wider social circle so it doesn't make sense that  the supporting cast would be (almost) exclusively white.  However, it could be the case that upper-class, educated people of colour scanned as white to her and so she has…

Thanks also TVDW for the link to the Hulk article on Badass Digest.  It covered all the frustrations I was experiencing about the (completely OTT) backlash to the show.

You're dead on about that moment in the doctor's office, Scrawler.  I really can't understand the criticism that this show is getting from some quarters for 'glorifying' the self-absorption of these characters because, to me, they are quite clearly being set up for the audience to pity and ridicule even as our own 24…

Thanks for this Minish.  Imagining Troy Barnes reacting to that scene will provide a bit of distance and make it a little less horrifying on rewatch.

Those torture scenes were particularly horrible.  However Sims point that using rats/weasles as torture devices by heating a metal bucket so that they will have to gnaw through the victim's stomach being "unique" is not strictly true.  I I believe there have been some (prehaps apocryphal) historical reports of this…

He loved it, but he didn't quite get it.

I thought the young actress was awesome.  Second favorite child actor on a sitcom this year since 'Young Penny' on Happy Endings.

"I keep buying candles as gifts and keep them for myself. I cried during 'About a Boy'… the soundtrack. I use comparisons to Hitler to win arguments on the internet at the drop of a hat.  I didn't get Inception!"

I was a little surprised that Todd didn't enjoy the Inspector Spacetime element of the plot.  But I'm a massive fan of Classic Who.
