I was so happy when Cat died in the book, I was all like, "YES!  No more 'Cat' chapters to suffer through!"   I was at the point where I'd groan when I saw her name at the beginning of the chapter.  I couldn't stand Cat and her dumb decisions and her constant moping.  I was so happy she got killed off, and really…

Haha, waiting for the review for the season finale to come out, I decided to read last week's "newbie" review. (I never read those.)  Haha, David Sims said: " Over in Yunkai, Daenerys quickly leaps into action, which I appreciate.
If Daario being around means things get done quicker, then I’ll sleep
with the guy,…

Or, perhaps, an extra-cocky version.

I wonder if that's because the books themselves were proportionately weighted towards the benefit of straight dudes?  It's not like the series is a landmark in feminist literature.

Wasn't there an eye level cooter in last week's episode, when Theon was getting re-tortured again? 

Haha, Spiny Creature…. reading the books, it felt like the entire series was gratuitous overkill when it came to that sort of thing.  God, when (SPOILER) Brienne wandered all over the countryside looking for Sansa in book 4, every single damned time she asked "has anyone seen a teenage girl around here?" we got some…

Spiny… this is Game of Thrones we're talking about… scarcely a page goes by without a rape threat in the books.

Yeah, he just gave this episode a "B."  Pretty harsh!

Fully clothed?  Not even some dong for Todd?

I really liked Spartacus, and for a good while there, it was one of my favorite shows on TV.   I think it suffered a bit after Batiatus died, and it was creaking under its own weight in the last season.   It's cool they went all the way with the story, but it got sort of tedious towards the end.

I rolled my eyes at the big stumble in introducing him… and… (get ready, this guy's gonna be a major character) it's DAARIO! 

Last week's episode was worse, but neither episode was really worth a "B."  Seems more like "C" territory to me.

I'm late on catching up on this season and am thusly late to the party, but they've been dancing around this one so long, that by the time they've gotten to it, it's pretty boring, actually.   "It takes a Borgia to love a Borgia?"  Really, writers?  How many times must we be reminded that these characters are…

[OOPS… forgot to say "SPOILER ALERT"]  The short answer is: "no."  Nothing happens.  Nothing happens for thousands of pages, and then you find that nothing happens.  By the end of Book 5, Dany is stalled in the very same part of the world we see her in now.   People do eat some lamprey pies, though.

I was shocked by the "B+" too.   It was a boring and disjointed episode.

If anybody can write filler, GRRM can.  I'm sort of surprised the characters didn't go about describing their leather jerkins or their smallclothes, or that there were no lamprey pies in sight. 

Shhh… what do you think you are, some sort of "expert" or something?

Ha ha ha on all of it!  I'm glad you included Jamie in the end there, she was all that was missing in Future Harrison's plot!

Now, if Jamie went missing, lil' Harrison would FLIP.  She's his only real human contact!
