No mention of Mono?

I actually really liked the fact that there *was* a biological difference that made the quarantining of the Irathients at least partially justifiable - or, conversely, I think it would have been a much more ham-handed choice to have there not have been. The moral dilemma of whether or not to do it becomes much less…

@avclub-cdc6ae5775579bb9a90d9eb068fb02df:disqus , I hate you on the basketball court, but you are spot-on here.

This definitely ranks as one of my favorite episodes of the show so far, and I'm hoping I'm not entirely feeling that way just because it was a refreshing step up from last week's stinker. I was never a huge fan of Brian J. Smith on SGU, but I think he did a great job here, and the chemistry among the entire cast in…

Interesting that Rowan praises the whole Mayor-Nicki-twirls-her-moustache scene as a highlight. Boy howdy, did I think Fionnula Flanagan sucked in this entire episode, and in that scene, in particular. She was practically sweating, she was trying so hard to chew the scenery, but Charles Dance/Diana Rigg, she ain't,…

Two years old in 1993? *Dies of old age*

"Slow Dog" FTW.

I have to go with either Lex Shrapnel (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm… or Jicky Schnee (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm….

But he did prevent an apocalyptic genocide. That was pretty cool of him.

ZOMG, I just lost it at my desk for five minutes straight thanks to that video.

Don't forget that Jaime, for all intents and purposes, killed Hitler.

I think Martin's real trick is keeping us guessing as to who the "central characters" truly are. Robb being set up as a protagonist, Ned being set up as a protagonist…this was all misdirection. I'm sure there *are* characters who are protected by the "I Can't Die Because I'm the Hero of the Story" clause, but all of…

I remember in Season 1 when people were doing the "I quit the show" thing over the mere idea of Sansa's direwolf being put down. Oh, what sweet summer children we all were back then.

Learning about the historical precedent for the Red Wedding was one of my favorite parts of that EW interview. I wish more people who are calling Martin sadistic online were aware that, as the man said, anything he has made up pales in comparison to what humans have actually done to one another.

"Rhaegar took Robert's girl"

That would make a hell of an image with which to open next week's episode.

Did the imagery differ greatly from your vast experience with slit throats?

The sheer number of Rickon lines was the most shocking part of this episode, for me.

I think they're going to have major problems with this in future seasons, especially if they're only doing one a year. Bran practically had a 5 o'clock shadow in his scenes.
