It seemed weird Maester what's-his-face was stumped by the question about the longest winter in the last 100 years…and we know the
magic of the Faceless Men can overcome differences in height. OTOH I'm not sure Arya would kill him for a disguise (even though he served Ramsay) or anyone else presently in Winterfell for…

I was actually surprised they didn't dial up a little sexual tension with Jon and Dany in that last scene when they are alone together—didn't think the writers could resist a bit of 'har har we know they're related but they sure don't!'

"Brass Bonanza" Although the album cover depicts the I84/I91 interchange found at the center of the city, OK Computer is not in fact the greatest work of music associated with Hartford, Connecticut.

Kind of disappointed to find out the episode wasn't titled The Stones and The Pillar…

THE SHRIKE IS RATHER DISAPPOINTED DAN SIMMONS IS A POST-9/11 CRAZY

Prediction: Romney wins.   Suddenly this show is interesting,  You can still do all the Snowden/NSA stuff next year.  Surely I can't be the first person to suggest this.
