Ooh, HBO, pick me! I'll work for set visits!

Finally we get Roy Dotrice's debut as Hallyne! That and shirtless Gendry are pretty much all I remember from this ep and I just finished ten minutes ago.

@Lupin Addams: Danny Glover's been trying to get backers for a Louverture biopic forever. Last I heard, they were hoping to start production at the end of this year but there's been no news in months: http://www.imdb.com/title/t… Wish I could divert some of the budget for turds like John Carter into stuff I'd rather…

"Dragons are hard. I mean, you've seen Dragon Dynasty, right? Ugh." -SyFy

No, Littlefinger and the congential Stark inability to play a dishonorable game are responsible for the downfall of the Starks.

Thank god they replaced that Prince Valium monstrosity they had him in last season.

SPOILERS?
Maggy the Frog's prophecy: 
"Will the king and I have children?" she asked.

What more memorable intro are we going to get than the I <3 FLAYIN' t-shirt he was sporting in that walk and talk with Robb?

Not sure how it's possible but I think I was even more pissed than Catelyn that *Littlefinger* of all people was the one to deliver Ned's bones. Tyrion's a bigger sadist than he even knows.

When I was a kid, Nick at Nite played I Love Lucy, Donna Reed, My Three Sons, and Leave It To Beaver what felt like nine nights a week, and we watched every single one. I wouldn't cross the street for any of the latter three now but if I even see "Lucy" in the program guide on TV now, I'm in. Still one of my favorites…

Too bad it's not sticking around - this is the most realistic depiction of home renovation I've ever seen.

Under the sea, on the cutting room floor, I know, I know, oh, oh, oh

If that kid isn't the secret love child of Ginnifer Goodwin and Ethan Embry, I'll eat my own glowing plastic heart.

I want the riot and I want it now. Plus Dany's visions, and Melisandre's shadows, and GIVE ME ALL THE BRIENNE YOU HAVE.

The two most jarring changes I noticed effectively erased the power Catelyn and Cersei have over their sons in the books: unless I'm mistaken, Robb doesn't have Catelyn present during his big kingly moment of delivering terms to the Lannister, removing her entirely from the decision-making before he dispatches her to…

And he wore *two versions* of it!

Yeah! It's terrible how her storyline was all about realizing she's talented at something she's rejected and rebelled against her whole life and that she still finds repugnant after she discovers her talent! It was like watching a complete stranger in a Britta skin.

After the wide shot of her with the skirt and the boots, I kept waiting for a Daria reference.

I only keep up with the show in these reviews but SIGN ME UP for that Vernee Watson random roles petition. I think she was in at least one episode of all my favorite shows growing up.

Bub!
