They said it was needed by AIDS patients, which is true. AIDS patients, pregnant women, and babies are pretty much the only people who need this drug.

Can't the head of the family un-bastardize them? Right now, that's Tommen. So yeah, I don't think they have to worry about that too much.

I don't think you can blame Myrcella's death on Cersei. Oberyn only volunteered to fight the Mountain because the Mountain had killed his sister… Cersei didn't have anything to do with that. You could say Cersei had a hand in getting Tyrion put on trial so that the fight occurred, but really, Tywin did most of that,…

You can have it removed and don't need to replace it with anything, that's why it's non-essential. You just have to watch your diet after.

They're desperately pawning off Harrenhaal?  I thought it was a decent place to get, because even though the castle is in ruins, it makes you lord of all the lands around it, giving you the income of those lands.

*Ramsay Snow.  He's a bastard.

I used to do that when each new Wheel of Time book came out.  Eventually it took weeks just to get through all the old books and start the new one.  I haven't read any of the Brandon Sanderson ones, as a result.  Now that it's done, I should read them all at once, but since it's 14 fairly large books now it's a bit…

@fursa_saida:disqus, that wasn't a White Walker, it was a wight.  The White Walkers are the ancient-looking naked white dudes with glow-in-the-dark blue eyes.  The wights are their zombie army, created from dead humans.  Remember at the end of S2 when Sam saw them all?  The White Walkers were on horses, with the…

The lighter is better idea has been around for a long long time, mainly because the people who didn't have to work outside all day would end up being lighter in colour since they wouldn't be constantly in the sun.  And pretty much the only people who could afford to sit around indoors instead of being out working…

I think you're reading a lot into it.  To me, the scene was very clearly "how can we make a striking visual to end the season?  I know, use contrast!".  Did you not also notice that all of the slaves wore white, while Dany wore a very brilliant blue?  She was supposed to stand out in the middle of that circle of…

Don't forget Ghost!  He's Jon's, currently wandering around North of the Wall.  Hey, maybe Bran will find him.

I'm just saying, that scene does nothing to support your "bitches be crazy" theory, because the women in the scene weren't the instigators, and didn't actually do any of the castration.  The sadist dude is clearly the instigator, and he did the deed as well.  Yeah, the women are there, but was this their idea?  Are…

What Feldspar said.  They have to follow their orders, and the orders are for Jaime to end up at King's Landing, escorted by that one guy (I don't know his name, if he even got one) and his men.  That guy is going to bring Jaime to King's Landing, the end.  But King's Landing is obviously a viper's den for anyone…

He just had to drop his pants.

Except… it was a dude who cut it off?  The women were just standing there awkwardly at the back of the room by that point.  Two big guys were holding Theon down while crazy sadist guy did the actual work.  The women were only there to mindfuck him.  I don't see how being gay would have changed the situation in any…

He does have another option though - leaving with her and making a life together.  Presumably he has money of his own by this point.  He could just leave Westeros, but clearly he puts his family and their political manoeuvring above Shae and her happiness.  That's why she's pissed.

Some people (I'm one of them) get that kind of visual in their head and can't ever get rid of it again.  Like, I'm falling asleep at night and this disgusting crap just jumps in there.  And yes, I do equate it with actual human suffering - this has happened to people in the past, and will again.  Might even be…

Re the wildlings, I think they're getting into position so that when the scout party signals, the main army with Mance attacks Castle Black from the north, distracting them so that the scout party can get up the wall and open the gate.

But a bunch of the guys standing around were following the dude who is supposed to take Jaime to King's Landing.  And that dude is pro-Jaime right now, because otherwise Jaime's going to tell Tywin that that dude maimed him.  And then that dude is dead.  So Jaime *does* have a card to play right now.  Basically it's a…

I think Vincent *did* know they were being chased - otherwise why would he be constantly pushing for them to be on the move?  The killing of the farmer dude looked like an accident to me, it was dark out and that fence post was sticking randomly out of his 4-wheeler.  Vincent was pushing him away, and he landed on…
