Someone should take the screencaps/video of Theon's penis from that scene and make a tribute video set to "I And Will Always Love You".

The show has historically not cared too much about travel times, but if need be they can easily come up with something to waylay Jaime and Brienne until after the Purple Wedding (which I've come to believe will be episode 2 of next season).

Spoilers for book 5:

Oh, and RIP, Theon's genitals.  You will be missed.  By Theon, at least.

Sansa's a fairly isolated upper-class girl (based on the first season, at least, her social circle consisted of her parents, her siblings, and a nun).  It's rather unlikely she had any kind of sex education, apart from "only do it with your husband", which was the sin qua non of a highborn girl's value in a world like…

The show has lightened many of the characters, but I'm starting to be very concerned about how the writers' less morally grey version of Tyrion is affecting the Tyrion/Sansa marriage's portrayal.  Even in the books there were a bunch of morons who thought somehow that Sansa was being mean to Tyrion, should have been…

It wouldn't need two seasons to get a syndication deal.  The 100-episode mark (which is more an imaginary qualifier than anything else) would be satisfied midway through a fifth season.

I really liked Precious, but Daniels has a lot of the stylistic flourish and inconsistency of Spike Lee, but very little of his intelligence.

The article this was based on was a really interesting spotlight, but I really have a hard time seeing how this will work as a movie.  I mean, it would have been interesting to live that guy's life and know so many important people (not to mention the social changes that went on around him), but…did he really do…

One of my favourite episodes of the show.  I was astonished to learn that some fans don't like it.

@avclub-f4472a834b603fe1951ca9c3e0fc73ce:disqus, I'm also kind of expecting that the writers are going to structure Arya's season 4 story in such as a way as to troll the audience by making it look like she and the Hound will arrive in the Eyrie at the end of the season and reunite with Sansa (ransoming her to Lysa…

Incorrect post.

For all the talk about Sansa being "hung up on looks", I haven't noticed Tyrion patronizing any ugly prostitutes (or fellow dwarves).  His tastes run to conventionally beautiful women.  How is that any less shallow than Sansa not being attracted to him?

One little bit I liked in the Tyrion/Sansa/Shae scene is Sansa's alarmed reaction to Shae demanding to know why Tyrion wants her to leave the room, and attempting to apologize/cover for her — since, as far as Sansa knows, Shae is just some random servant, the sort of person it wouldn't typically behoove to question…

Maybe not, but it's kind of a judgement call being made to preserve her naivety, even if she's undoubtedly still better off going with him.

I don't think we're getting the Purple Wedding this year.  That'll be near the start of season 4.  The Red Wedding is episode 9.

It seems to me that, in order to get more plot twists, the show is going to have both Littlefinger and Olenna's initial plans fail (the first attempt to take Sansa; manipulating Joffrey), thus leading to them teaming up.

I liked how their ultimate meeting of the minds was about how awful King's Landing is.

While admittedly Theon is not in the best shape, mentally (not to mention physically), this "guess the captor" bit is making him look like a bit of a moron.  Dude, he's literally flaying you now.  Have you not heard of House Bolton?  Their freaking sigil is the flayed man, and you're being held in one of their Xs. …

He basically found it was implausible that there was so little narrative movement in a number of plots, and found overreliance on flashbacks problematic as well.
