    This is the riddle that Varys posed last season. The King, The Priest, and the Rich Man. They each order the Swellsword to kill the other two. The irony is that the Swellsword, being the guy with the power of life and death in his hands, has the ultimate power, but he chooses to follow. Why? Where does power rest?

    The thing is if you renew for multi-years then you lose the ability to massage the 24-hour news cycle in subsequent years. It's why HBO lets stories about record ratings happen on Monday, followed up by a renewal announcement on Tuesday.

    The word is that Robb Stark has been the frontrunner for Prince Charming for a while.

    Don't forget that voice. Oh, that voice.

    No secret. David Peterson over at Berkeley is the language guy on the show. He's got a blog where he talks about the languages.

    SPOILER AND SPECULATION

    There's an interview with Bryan Cogman at HBO.com where he said he came up with the fetuses-in-jars as a way of showing how Selyse became unhinged from all the stillborns and turned to a new religion (dramatic dum, dum, dummmmm) to cope. And that's how they found Melisandre.

    @RedScarab:disqus , Not really. They still find unexploded bombs from WW2 buried beneath major European cities all the time. 

    The problem is that the Ironborn have seized Moat Cailin, which is the strategic chokepoint to the North. Whole armies have bashed themselves against it and lost. Karstark can't return North.

    I heard a story that young Annakin came down to two actors. Jake Lloyd and some other kid. Supposedly the other kid KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK, so naturally George chose Jake Lloyd.

    Notice that one of them was named Edric?

    Notice that every time children were brought up between Stannis and Melisandre it was that he has no sons. Naught was ever said of daughters.

    Some people happen to like fish pies.

    Greyscale is basically Westeros' version of the plague. It either kills you or it disfigures your skin permanently.

    I like how she doesn't know his name.

    I found her uncannily resembling Keira Knightley this episode, especially the way she worked her jaw.

    Anyone who ever seen the hierarchy of nerdom knows the furries are on the bottom. And the Star Trek furries who write Kirk/Spock slash fiction are on the bottom of the bottom.

    EVERYBODY'S HUGGING!
