Over 50 people were killed in bombs across Iraq today. Obviously this is an American website and news tends to 'stick' if it has a greater relevence to its target audience (which is why here in the UK we have programmes like Unreported World, which are designed to showcase current events that fall between the cracks).

Sorry if I'm being extremely dense, but what's a 'False Flag attack'?

Since we're talking about the series at its current point , why did Martin send Dany out of Meereen at the end of DWD? Is it so that the entire Dothraki horde joins her, upon seeing her awesome Dragon? It just seems like another needless complication.

I always got the impression in the book that the boat was much bigger. It had sails, if I recall, making it much more ridiculous that Edmure misses. For budgetary reasons, I assume, they downsized it to a dinky little row boat, which is a bit harsh on Edmure.

After Riverrun 'unfolded' it zoomd past the Twins, without lingering on it. I suppose showing us how close the Twins are to Riverrun. And preparing us for… the future.

I love these books, but these theories are getting out of hand!

I love that he kept eye contact with them as he was moving the chair too. Like 'Yeah, fuckers, this is what I'm doing.' 

It'll be with Gilly after it all goes to shit at Craster's keep. I guarantee it. It makes sense too, concerning the budget.  Having two 'Sam is left behind during the retreat and is attacked by otherworldly monsters' would be superfluous on the show. Instead of Wights, Sam will kill the Other. And then maybe we'll get

I torrent the show (and buy the Blu-rays, sorry HBO!) and the file I got had an error where the music came in too early, cutting off the last fifteen seconds of dialogue. So I got the BAWDY, JOYFUL music, literally over the top of Jaimie losing his hand. It was terrible. And hilarious. 

I was always baffled growing up watching American tv whenever they mentioned jaywalking. So you have to wait to find a 'sanctioned' place to cross? What if it is clear? What if there's time? Honest to God, it's baffling. Just cross the fucking road, America!

Can he imagine it not being so fucking cold? Seriously, it is April. Cut this shit out, climate change!

Another NCIS spin off!? The fucking acronyms are spreading! Where's this one? NCIS: Tuscon? NCIS: Birmingham? NCIS: Charlottesville?

I thought California was the democracy and it was the 'Plains States' that were lawless anarchy, with Texas also a dictatorship? God, I know too much of the bullshit mythology of this thing.

That's actually quite funny. He said '…of California.' So now I'm imagining Ben Affleck leading the denziens of Hollywood out of the blackout and re-establishing civilisation. "HE WAS THE BOMB IN PHANTOMS, YO!" is the new state moto.

While I AM disapointed, I accept there are budgetary concerns. I'm assuming the bug money draining set piece of the year will be split between the Red Wedding and Dany's sacking of Astapor. Next year we'll get a snow based battle that the show CAN'T ignore, when the Wildlings attack the wall. 

"Takes a couple of books off…" Hahaha! He's not sitting on a beach somewhere in Volantis. He's being slowly skinned alive and having his cock chopped off. Hardly a holiday!

I think he'll do it after Craster's Keep goes to shit. Instead of fighting Wights in the abandoned Wildling village, he'll kill an Other. Watch this space, nerds! Blerg!

They are the Knights of Summer and Winter is coming!

"Aaaaaaaall the pieces…. matter!" 

It's the 'is' that makes that joke a work of art. I don't know why, but it does.
