He's disarmingly unpretentious, almost to the point of irritation.

Considering the course of events, I think Lancel is a more suitable candidate for that disclosure.

One thing I find interesting - and I'm going to take pains to avoid saying anything condescending or giving away too much since I know as a book reader I could make an ass out of myself - is the way, and in this episode in particular, small changes the show is making, characters who are interacting who didn't much in…

Sounds like Hermano's about to get his ass stabbed.

Cersei is like Skyler or Betty if they were hard as fuck and murdered people like yeah.

What do we say to the God of Death?

When will the white man get a fair shake in Obama's America?!

They drink shade of the evening, made of water, sugar, and of course, purple.

Robb Stark: the first black king in Westeros!

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau looks better in a suit than I imagine Jon Hamm does in armour.

The scene with Joffrey and the prostitutes was not in the book.

Come on, Gendry and Shadow Monster are both perfectly fine boys.

The difference is people actually watch Game of Thrones.

Renly Baratheon you're my hero.

A vote for Renly is a vote for women in the military, and the legalisation of smiling.

Yeah. I really can't stand the show's 'emotional core' when that core consists of characters just openly stating their emotional issues without any sublety ("Britta hates herself! Jeff is narcissistic and insecure!") and then having an overdone love-in by the end of the episode… And then just having the same problems…

Weak, weak episode. Chang and Pierce's B-plot didn't really go anywhere or have any jokes (aside from "Russian roulette" which was pretty good) and the rest of it… Just wasn't very funny, and it ended with one of the most tonally out-of-nowhere Jeff soapbox speeches since the first season.

Yeah, it gets that Tyrion in the books is suuuper-ugly. Fortunately no one cares because Dinklage.

Horse decapitations?
