Why was I not informed of this?! Gah, you take a week off and you miss everything.

Sometimes, dead is better.

Actually, I was commenting more on how the wolves look than their actions. The compositing of the wolves into the shots is pretty poor.

I couldn't tell you. I saw that when someone put a couple episodes on You Tube with the commentary track on, those were yoinked quite some time ago.

My mother was murdered by a Tigger!

The alt text is back!

Same here, my mind went to Andrea's costume from "What are Little Girls Made Of?"

And early '90's acid washed jeans at that.

Upon the back of a horse

I wonder how many reaction videos we're going to get out of this one.

I would just like to say to D&D once more that we would be totally cool if you guys chose to radically depart fromt he books and have Oberyn win the duel.

The direwolves are also still pretty dodgy.

IMDB says Sophie Turner is 5'9". I think on one of the DVD commentaries the showrunners were saying how it was a good thing that Arya and Sansa didn't have any scenes together after Season 1 because she hit a growth spirt and grew about 6 inches between Season 1 and 2, which would have made filming them together…

There are things involving Sansa that aren't a real turn on for Littlefinger?

The makeup people did their best, but there simply is not a way to make that girl not adorable.

And some great needle work

Yep, importation of horses is banned in Iceland. The native horse breed (the imaginatively named Icelandic Horse) has been very isolated for centuries, so they're really worried about the native horses lacking immunity to a number of equine diseases.

I would be perfectly happy if the producers went "fuck it, GRRM's not finishing this thing within our lifetimes, we're going our own way" and had the Red Viper win and made next season's King's Landing plot the political maneuverings of Oberyn, Tyrion, Tywin, the Tyrells, and Cersei.

I'm assuming Oberyn on the Small Council is a "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" kind of a thing
