Eh, they could have resurrected her a long time ago, and we've just not met anyone who's heard about her yet.

I KNOW. It's like the show isn't an exact replica of the books or something. GOD.

If I had to guess I'd say deep down it's "second-tier" because it's genre (especially after fire-lobbing elf girl and co. show up). Mind you, I don't share this point of view, but most critics are snobs; even those who claim to enjoy fantasy can't bring themselves to put it on the shelf next to Mad Men, Breaking Bad,…

Ha! You just called Rickon a badass.

I think people would be pretty suspicious of Varys as engineering Tyrion's disappearing act. Not to mention with the imp gone, a foreign eunuch nobody likes is an excellent scapegoat.

Yeah, they made a point of showing two kids running underfoot as Jon walked up to Mance's tent. This wasn't a Wildling army; they were Wildling refugees.

Meh, she'll be along eventually. Probably early next season, I'd guess.

Well, no, once he "found out" she was a "whore," he didn't think she was being raped. But that doesn't excuse him; that makes it worse (especially as I can only assume her attitude was not one of willing participation).

Hey, I'm not a brown noser. I'm a lickspittle!

Don't forget going to high school forever too FOR SOME REASON.

There are actually children coming to our GoT viewing tonight (babysitting crisis). I have been assured they will go upstairs like good girls and boys and stay far away from the episode, but I'm very worried for them.

As a resident of Knoxville, I can assure you that it exists . . . and it is filled with a bar and an observation deck.

God I love that stupid Sunsphere.

Three douchey comments in a row? That's a turkey!

Kind of like homophones.

My cats have stopped covering their poop (they still poop in the litter box; they just leave it bare in all its stinky glory). I'm told that means they don't respect me. Probably because I follow up behind them and pour litter over their leavings from a blue plastic cup.

And thus neither is Jon.

I know Tyrion was a victim in that situation too, but it doesn't change the fact that thinking she was a whore somehow made it more okay that she got raped by dozens of men, then by her own husband than when he discovered that she really was a crofter's daughter. The first iteration of the story is "poor me, I was…

Jesus. I forgot all about that. I should probably reread ADWD but I don't WANT to.

Saying Dany is "supposed" to rule is saying that the divine right of kings is a good thing. I have a hard time seeing GRRM endorse that trope of the "rightful ruler" in any way other than "the ruler who is right for the country."
