Jack Gleeson definitely makes me want Joffrey to live.  He's been absolutely killing it for three seasons being.  Every time he's on screen, I'm excited to see just how beautifully horrible he will be.

The Red Wedding was is more obvious to book readers because they have a better image of just how much of a monster Walder Frey is.  In the show, he's got one scene in season one.  Since, they've barely mentioned him. Going from just the show, it's believable that marrying a daughter to Edmure might be enough to…

It's Qyburn.  QYBURN!  I'll kill you, I'll kill all of you, especially those of you in the jury.

Yeah, it would be pretty hard explaining to the audience why a dude showed up with anime-colored hair.  Plus, the whole blue hair/beard shit was pretty stupid.

Your roommate sounds like an idiot.  At least if he actually believes that all you have to do is stab them when they aren't looking.

You're just silly!

Yeah.  And I also like calling people out on the term "Machiavellian" by citing the Discourses.

No, I know that words evolve in meaning over time.  Its just that I don't like how modern interpretations of "humanist" and "humanism" distort our view of the fourteenth through sixteenth century.  It was just more me being a jerk than anything else.

"Pullman is a noted atheist, and His Dark Materials isn't a religious work, but a humanist one."  Please use a term other than humanist.  A humanist, properly, is one who practices the studia humanitatis, which are poetry, rhetoric, grammar, history, and moral philosophy.  By continuing to make the mistake that…

The "dark forces" are the dark forces of Protestantism threatening to destroy Mary's reign.  (title drop!!!!)

The Lord of Light and the Great Other, COME ON!!

I'm pretty sure Charles Dance can do anything with those eyes and either a Machiavellian smirk or a constantly disappointed scowl.

"Spanks For the Mammaries"?

Hassassin?  More like "Yassassin (Turkish for "Long Live")"

Terrifying sex is the sexiest sex.

I don't think we've seen Sixskins yet… but you might be right that they've been combined.  Really, I don't remember the books well enough.

Orrell isn't the master-warger, that's Varamyr Sixskins.

It seems absurd that in the next three episodes they will have Danaerys defeat the army outside of Yunkai AND sack Meereen.  What seems most likely is that the season will end with her forcing Yunkai to admit defeat and then she'll start marching north to Meereen, which will take up the entirety of season 4 [SPOILERS]…

Well, Roose Bolton does try and limit how much Ramsay runs around torturing people in Book 5.  He might like to be a bit of a violent sociopath, but he's also smart enough to realize that having violent sociopaths for henchmen (and heirs) is a bad idea.

Wait, Rickon wasn't a cannibal before Skagos?
