I know, what a dick. Flagged!

I always imagined the Others having a more majestic look to them, kind of like the Ringwraiths in LOTR when Frodo sees them w/o their cloaks. The Other last night almost looked like a Jim Henson creation from his Dark Crystal/Labyrinth days.

Those actors would be too old for him, but yeah I figured they'd get a darker-skinned actor for Daario. No complaints, really, Skein was fine.

Poor Sam. When he told Gilly that his old man was "A different kid of cruel" it made me very sad for him.

Not only that, this week's nudity  had purpose, as Todd pointed out himself. And there has been penis this year, with the dude who seduced Loras. I'm in your camp- penis, vagina, ass, boobs, show em every week as long as there's a good story built around them I do not care.

The last episode is called "Mhysa" so we can draw conclusions from that. Good question about zombified Cat. Could that be next season's closing reveal? Would match the book and enough time would pass for it to be a real punch for viewers.

I just thought that meant he could perform despite the wine.

He loves having power over her and that fuels his S&M fantasies.. That's how gets his ya-yas, Sansa's beauty aside. Like Henry Kissinger once said, "Power is the greatest aphrodisiac."

As long as nobody trots out that goddamned Neil Gaiman line between now and then, I'm cool.

Sims is an adorable moppet. Oh, the innocence.

But…he respects beauty!

Tyrion was eyeing her as she undressed, but I was hoping he'd express that he wanted Sansa, but could not go through with the act.  That's internalized in the book (GRRM even gives him a hard on if I recall), but it made Tyrion a little more gray than he is on the show. Dinklage still knocked it out of the park,…

Egads, Todd. Nine paragraphs (or thereabouts) banging on about "unfair" nudity? You really must have been distracted. I loved this episode, the strongest showing since "And Now His Watch Has Ended." Tyrion made it for me of course, but Dany's storyline was engaging as well. Sometimes the show has to slow down to…

That way lies madness. I'm not going to bust out that annoying Neil Gaiman quote, but let the man complete his vision.

Are you saying Books 4 and 5 will each get two seasons apiece? I'd guess there's a major pairing down/condensing when S5 of the show rolls around. Timeline-wise, those 2 books overlap, and there's loads of extraneous kingsmoots and other plot points that can be explained with a few lines of dialogue. We're already…

More Paris Hilton and The Situation references this time around, please. If you're going to be on the edge of comedy, it may as well be cutting.

Did you type this while wearing  one of those "Your favorite band sucks" t-shirts?

By next season Theon will have become Reek. what they do with him I don't know, but there's not going to be another season of Theon getting tortured and humiliated.

AV Club needs to ditch the grades. They do seem arbitrary, and nothing from GoT is going to score less than a B. I enjoyed this episode but shit was all over the place.

I'm thinking she won't be attending the wedding at all. "Prickly" Lord Frey would take major offense at that.
