I don't think he was being a sub with the prostitute. At most, he exhibited masochism (and not even masochism of the sexual kind), but he was not being a sub there.

Yet Don was basically topping from the bottom there, which is something BDSM circles seem to frown upon. He's a dom at heart, although being a dom is hardly a healthy expression of sexuality in his case. Granted, this is the 60s when kink was far from mainstream.

All three of you were in the same place at the same time! A year from now, I expect you'll all go to the same community college and form a study group.

"Sansa's too young. We try not to sexualize her."

My thoughts immediately went to 30 Rock's "Gold Case"

Lucille Bluth? I would've picked Malory Archer, myself.

Dany is basically the host of a late night talk show. Jorah and Barristan are there to set up her punchlines!

A Warg did it.

Poor Maisie Williams, she're really gotten weak material this season after so much good stuff in the first two. It looks like her story is finally starting to go somewhere, though. But with the Hound? I've been worried that Arya is on a dark path to becoming a bloodthirsty avenger… YEAH OBVIOUSLY… but I've been

It would probably be stupid to just put a wig on Sean Bean and re-cast him as Benjen Stark… but I kinda wish they would do that.

Dammit, now I want a scene where Olenna gives Sansa the Talk.

I find torture scenes agonizing to watch, in general. I must be getting desensitized, because I don't find the Theon scenes too excruciating, just pointless. But I used to hate the torture scenes in 24, even the non-physical ones. Movies are even worse. I don't mind the blood and gore and I know it's not real. I just

Arrogant? Well, she is a Targaryen.

"Troy and Abed in the Moon Base!"
