I thought I'd get sick of this gimmick eventually, but everytime I see your icon I can't help but smile.

Ugh, can't the two animal empaths just get a couple of bears to drag their asses up North?

We are ALL missing the biggest takeaway from the episode - with the crippled Snow off North with the Wonder Twins, and lil' Stark off with wilding womyn….NO MORE HODOR?

You're right - I guess using the term 'agency' wasn't 100% accurate. You identified the real issue I have with her - she wouldn't be anywhere without the dragons and her built-in magic. Even if she offed her brother and shrugged off Drogo's death and led the horsefolk through the desert…that would have been it for…

That's cool - they've done a great job putting together a compelling show, but it compels us for different reasons. Speaks highly of them.

Wait, so the eunuch DOES invent gunpowder? I'm back in.

Also, how on earth do you people reply so fast? When I started entering my first comment this thread had no replies at all. I know most of the commenters here are Americans thanks to a LONG series of threads on some other article I read yesterday. But do any of you guys have jobs?

Eh, you're meant to root for the Starks because they're decent people, not dicks of one sort or another. All the ones with real ability to do anything about the Lannisters are now dead. Here are my thoughts on why the show got less interesting for me, a viewer who wants to see the Lannisters put out of their misery.

This seems like a weak insult. Jack Reacher would have been crap with anyone in the lead role, and Cruise, while nutty, is a fairly capable actor. I wouldn't call him a 'prettyboy' just because he's a good-looking fella.

I didn't finish this season of Community, but if I understand your comment correctly, Britta and the Dean started a band together? FINALLY, the writers are speaking to me!
