Vertigo titles are the only thing I can stand to read from DC anymore.  I just can't bring myself to care, in spite of every title getting an extra issue with a 3-D lenticular cover.

I'd be pretty happy if book six was nothing but Ninja-Arya murder spree.

I think Greyjoy will bite it next week personally, as he's barely remembered anyway, and following so closely on the heels of Rob will jog people's memory of Melisandre's "prophecy."

Yeah—the end of three seems like perfect timing to me.  Introduce the Southerners (I'm looking forward to Oberon), lay the groundwork, have a little more Tyrion and Joffrey conflict, then boom!  Dead Joffrey.

I AVERT MY EYES WHENEVER I SEE BENDER!

I have to confess there aren't a lot of us straight males (recently "pubertized" or not) that aren't fascinated with the concept of "Hot chicks."  Dragons are pretty cool too, I guess.

Oh…well if he's French then him, obviously.  Fucking Frenchie.

Or that you can't run faster than a huge fireball.

@avclub-0b8a5ff739b7d67831c6991fc14c9b1b:disqus Ah-gotcha.  I sort of blew through the books and read 4 and 5 way too fast.  I clearly need to re-read them as a lot of these details just aren't sticking in my mind anymore.

More like "Frances…Her?"

But was she resurrected (as in, by another person)?  I was under the impression the "North" brough her back as it seemed like she resembled a white walker now from the descriptions in the book.  The Stark's ties to the North have been an undercurrent through the whole series—at least three of them are Wargs, they get…

The lesson to be taken from all of this is clearly, never get married.

I thought Davos covered pretty well last episode why killing Renly wasn't that big a deal (enemy combatant and all, even if he was his brother).  Made sense to me.

I think the Purple Wedding has to happen somewhat early in the season, as Tyrion has to be jailed—no way they put him in jail for one episode only to bust him out and have him go all crossbowey—there's got to be more build-up than that.

Deserves got nothin' to do with it.

@avclub-9b60cf1b2106f886f17cba2b1a0359b9:disqus Agreed—if there was anyone ever destined to become a ninja-murderer after all this shit it's her for sure.

How pissed must she have been?  Two books and a year or however long its been since she's seen her mom and gets that fucking close, only to be cold-cocked and drug away…

@Nudeviking:disqus My wife and I joked through everyone of our kids that we had to pretty much not watch TV for nine months or so.  TV writers really, really dislike pregnant women, and put them in just the worst situations.  I'm sure it's all for dramatic effect or whatever, but when you're 8 month's pregnant trying…

When he read the book.  He's been perfecting it for 12 years now.

That should read "The North Remembers…eventually" since I'm two books past this and they don't seem to remember shit so far.
