I'm really enjoying Korra, but for me it just isn't as enjoyable as A:TLA, and I think the reason is that I just don't care all that much about the political storyline. I'm way past caring much who might be behind Amon's mask. I looked forward to the flashbacks, but entirely because I was so enjoying seeing the Gaang…

They wouldn't necessarily have to have gone through laziness. Maybe it started with delirium or seizures or agitation, was left to run its course because everyone else was afflicted with the apathy, and by the time it developed into full-blown functional madness, the rest of the planet was dead.

Just that not everything horrible he's done has been trumpeted in front of crowds of people. I know I was surprised, in the books, to realize he was actually capable…

I still wouldn't be surprised to find out it was Joffrey. Tyrion's been the only one standing up to him - actively putting him down on a regular basis - and (HINTS AT SPOILERS?) after certain revelations that the series hasn't gotten to yet, we know he is capable of more subtle and ruthless moves than the impulsive…

@avclub-3da678392d5ac1ff456fe6e06354fdef:disqus You could be a walking spoiler! Especially if you added a few more names to that shirt. Now I want a shirt with at least a dozen dead potential kings' names on it. There are at least that many by now.

Your concern about Loras is sound. I watched the episode with two newbies, and while they realized they were supposed to recognize him, he wasn't on screen long enough for them to figure out who he was. I'm guessing that next week's episode will make more of a point of him being there, and what it means as far as the…
