An ex tried the same stunt with me, um, minus all the a psycho locked her in a bomb shelter stuff.  She came clean eventually.

Do you feel good being a dick to strangers on the internet?

The horn of winter's role in the books isn't even that well defined.  We don't even know for sure if Mance found it and lied or what.

I guess you're completely ignoring the scene where Stannis says he doesn't want to be king, but since it's his by law, which is 100% correct, he'll do whatever it takes to get it and make anyone who stood in his way pay dearly.  Because it's his duty.

Or, you know, you could simply enjoy a collection of scenes that are united by the fact that they all take place in the same universe - a universe we all know and love at this point - and stop trying to invent problems out of this air.

Man, I'm so over adaptation changes.  They don't even register with me anymore.  You should try it.

Dude, you weren't discombobulated.  You just weren't.  The episode would only be confusing Ya know, what discombobulated means?) to a newbie that maybe only started watching this season.

"How much Beiber did you sniff?"

Symbolic puddles of vomit, sure.

Chummy?  I was under the impression that he was actually dating/banging her/punch WAY above his weight class.

Maybe, but it seems similar enough in practice, to not be too out there for Mad Men.

Really?  So what about all the times Don has seen dead people?  He's seen dead people every season, I think, and they're always portents of the future.

It's not a dumb lost theory because it's not referring to some season-long mindfuck.  The theory, I think, is that she was murdered while Don was away, and he'll find her next week.

If he's talking about her being murder while Don was in California, or more likely when he was on his way home which makes the line about him not going home first heavy foreshadowing, then it becomes pretty believable and to me, downright likely.

Oh man, I though "emetaphorical" was an actual term that I'd never heard and once I learned it, it would unlock a whole new way of looking at Mad Men.  That would have been cool.

That comparison is interesting since Mad Men is probably the show most like the Sopranos.

I think he's saying that she was murdered during his trip to California.

If it makes you feel any better, I hadn't read the books before season one, and Ned's execution was spoiled for me.

@avclub-10002631234370cc43d1ef36d9fd2f5b:disqus I'm pretty sure they're an actual race of sentient beings, albeit heavily imbued with magic, and not a pack of mindless snow zombies - even though they totally look like a mindless pack of snow zombies.

The worst thing you can do to Walder Frey is remind him that House Frey is every bit the second tier house the rest of the realm thinks it is.  All his behavior stems from the fact that the Great Houses like Tully and Lannister don't respect him.  They won't marry his daughters or foster his sons.
