I'll have what she's having.

Haha—I actually thought her story this season was moving really quickly….like, they might want to slow it down or she's just going to be sitting around and whining for the next three seasons at least.

I've always assumed they'd have to combine ADWD and AFFC or people would have a fit.  No Tyrion for a whole season?  Not very likely.

How they didn't go with the time travel one first is beyond me…actually, there's a lot of unadapted King work I could see making it onto TV before the UTD…just an odd choice for an adaptation.

I'm ashamed to admit that I played Saints Row III more than any other playstion game I own…just so much awful, awful fun.

dammit—now I have to watch that movie again. 

One question (I seriously don't recall from the books):  didn't Sam know what the dragonglass was?  Or does he research it later?  That "oooh…pretty" scene really annoyed me this episode.

Yeah—I see this season doing the Red Wedding, Joffrey's Wedding, then Tyrion imprisoned.  Season 4 will have the battle at the Wall, the introduction of Oberyn and the trial by combat, then end with Tyrion's escape.  I'm assuming seasons 5 and 6 (and possibly 7) won't do that asinine division of characters like the

That's another good point actually—-Tyrion seems to jump to that conclusion awfully quick, when he knows his sister is a liar.  Just seems kind of oddly played all the way around to me.

I get they had to fit this in to justify Theon being in this season, but (and it's been a while since I've read them so forgive me if I'm spotty on this) didn't he disappear for most of book 3?  I thought Reek didn't really resurface until book 4 and the only mention of Theon were the bits of him being mailed to

While I woudn't mind Shae living (as her character has been pretty well altered this season…so far—though season 3 part 2 next year could change that) I would HATE it if Tyrion doesn't kill Tywin.  That may have been my favorite scene of any of the books.

Does it actually count as a "major spoiler" if you're just guessing?  I don't disagree that it's possible or anything, I'm just saying I don't think it's a spoiler if you don't actually know something is going to happen…

This scene did serve as a good reminder that Joffrey is kind of a dick actually—I have been trying to figure out if the series was intentionally down-playing that fact this season (hell, he's almost been likeable in some of his scenes with Marjory) to play up what happens to him?  If so that seems like an odd

I was thinking as I was watching that those scenes were very well done—much more exciting than I thought they would be.

I would watch the hell out of "Mojo presents The X-Babies."

yeah sorry you missed it somehow, but it was the highlight of the night for me.

You leave Bjork alone!

I think the jist of this 2-part story was supposed to focus on the big, actiony tent-pole type stuff, yes?  I think that's the only reason it's not on here.  Rest assured Before Midnight will get much, much love here.

Now there's a movie I'd fucking see right there!

I once saw a movie where they walled in a city and turned it into a prison, and then the President's plane just happened to crash into said city-prison.  It was maybe the stupidest idea I'd ever heard of for a movie.  And it is awesome.
