Better hold your breath… until you turn gay.

Actually, my favorite characters in the book are, in this order: Cersei, Sansa, Davros and Arya.

If such characters exist, I have yet to meet them.

It serves a meta-point, I think, though it doesn't serve the plot directly.  I liked those hapless morons, it was more like a stereotypical band of D&D geeks (or SoIaF fans) got dropped into the story in the costumes of their RPG characters, but had none of their actual abilities.

Except that it doesn't matter what Robb says.  Jon Snow's a member of the Night's Watch.  Their vows preclude them from owning lands, wearing crowns, fathering sons and taking wives.  Being a member of the Night's Watch is a life-long deal, and it removes its members utterly from the political games of the Seven…

My point was that, basically, we viewers know things now that Ned Stark did not then, namely that the White Walkers are real. It bears noting that the bulk of the Night's Watch also does not believe in the White Walkers until they start showing up.  Most of the NW believe they are there to protect the South from the…

It's been absolute ages since the last time the White Walkers showed up, to the point where they've passed into the realm of myth.

You should slap your coworker's friend.  Twice.  In fact, make it an Airplane! thing, with motherfuckers just lined up.

Almost no Stark left, either.

I got this thing for the Chrome browser that turns all YouTube comments into various permutations of "Herpa Derp".  It's pretty awesome, and its science is tight.
