Cause a lisp that might work well on the written page would probably turn into something embarrassingly silly for television.

Theory on Theon and the Boy…

Yes, but considering we get inside Cersei's head later on and witness her frustrations with her gender first-hand, a bunch of us amended it to add the last part.

That's such a great sequence, and you're right, they're totally setting that up. Though I do bet it's still Rast and the others who do the deed on Mormont. You could tell their discipline is starting to fall apart, and the trailers do show Rast walking around Craster's with a sword in hand, bleeding, and looking like…

LEMON OUT

Well, that's pretty accurate @avclub-e57dbebc740250d2c4a370cf6ccb35f0:disqus considering that "robot" is derived from the Czech word for "slave"

My reaction to the whore scene was like this was the greatest medieval game show ever. Tyrion was like the host. "Now, Pod, behind this curtain we have this lovely whore who's great for first-timers."

The Mereneese Knot basically stumped Martin for almost a decade. There are an insane number of characters headed toward Dany in Mereen, and he couldn't figure out how to resolve it. He literally wrote and threw away the equivalent of a book or two trying to figure it out. He tried almost every sequence of events and…

Between that and "I heard they cut off your nose, but it's not as gruesome as that," you can tell that D&D are trolling us hard.

Edmure is also something of a party boy of a Lord. It's a reason why he isn't married even though he is the future Lord Paramount of the Riverlands. He also drank heavily the night before the funeral, which was a reason why his accuracy sucked.

HBO should totally do this from now on, except have all the dialogue replaced with badly-dubbed High Valyrian with no subtitles.

Yeah, but that was still a wonderful human moment for this show.

Here's the Bear and Maiden Fair as sung by The Hold Steady

Jonah's last little outburst at the end as the door was closing killed me.

Times like this I wish they had hacked off Tyrion's nose, as it sets up one of the great summaries of the series. "The Lannister siblings: Handless, Noseless, and Cockless."

That was all on fucking Benioff. Classic Benioff.

That was the Hold Steady. They were enlisted to do that song for the show.

That was all Benioff. Bastard.

@avclub-8960b60364cfbb5ea071c2507704fb2a:disqus Or maybe they all just cried and told them their life stories.

I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck… maybe even a "recreational vehicle."
