Mendoooooooza!!

I also wonder if there would be Frey tension from Bolton legitimizing Ramsay and marrying him to a Stark, thereby bypassing Frey's potential descendants (thru Roose/Walda) from being in line to be Lords of the North.

To me, its point is to have a GOT discussion that is manageable once the recap comment sections hit the quadruple-digits.

I think Kevan is back in King's Landing.

I'm glad at least it was off-screen.

They just did a treacherous stab of a Lord in close quarters last week in Dorne. And then they repeat it this week; it was kind of …. boring.

You are on to something. At the beginning of the story, westeros was pretty much devoid of magic. And then in comes ice zombies, prophecies, resurrections, greenseeing, face-changing, warging, etc…

Off stage …. eating delicious smoked lizard-lion sandwiches in the bayou!

Thanks.

Yes to which?

Was it Ned, Benjen, and Lyanna in the flashback, or was the oldest brother Brandon there too? Lyanna seemed older than the boys, but I thought she was third-born?

Yes. If he had never made POV chapters from Pyke or Dorne (or Oldtown for that matter) he would have been able to tell the cool story he had started instead of getting in his own way.

If one "sorts by oldest," at a certain point the button for load more threads stops appearing. Is this Disqus or is it me?

I agree.

The card says Moops!

Bran's tree buddy was different last season right?

Maybe I have LaBeefian disenchantment with disposable internet stories and it's clouding my judgement.

I agree that using the bro stereotype is often lazy and lame.

OK, I can believe there was an assault. But do we have verification that the police report has the LaBoeuvian details?

Listen, I know La Beefiness of all this is perhaps entertaining, but c'mon, this whole thing is a hoax. Yes, a LaBoeuf-looking motherfucker got a black eye somehow, but the rest is baloney: the assailant's supposed declaration, the voicemail. Baloney.
