They kept mentioning that the guy who showed up is a bastard. Perhaps that has some significance - maybe he's a person of questionable integrity? I know Jon Snow has been our only exposure to bastards in this show, but there's no reason to assume that his sense of honor is common amongst illegitimate sons. In fact,…

@Big_Knife:disqus As other commenters have already mentioned he colluded with the sorcerer. This isn't speculation from viewers either, he openly admits it in the scene where the sorcerer kills 11 of the 13.

It also seems possible that because lightning bending was rarely practiced, fully mastering the process wasn't really something that had happened leading to its lethality.

Mad Men showed more boob tonight than Game of Thrones. Crazy night of television.

I think Tywin knows from her mannerisms that she's probably noble born and just got displaced in the war. He obviously respects her intelligence.

@olivececile:disqus This is just pure speculation at this point, but if the Mance guy marches on the wall with his n*10^5 troops and gets past it, there really isn't a Wall to guard or a Night's Watch to protect it.

I was anticipating this cross reference in the comments. Well played.

I thought she was saying Didi, which means older sister, and is something I've heard people from South Asia use to address great aunts.

@avclub-ef062084a1c4a3584af1d4f8e514ea50:disqus I don't think it's a spoiler to tell you that based on how the scene is described in the book, Davos had no idea she was even pregnant.

Yech is an inappropriately mild reaction to a giant spider. The only correct way to handle a giant tarantula is to kill it with fire.

Wrong time of the year. Just about every major Main street brand had something similar in their FW 2011 lineups but all that stock has been moved out.

I disagree as far as character based reasoning goes.

That's as far as I got into Mulholland Dr. I was 14 when I first tried to watch it and of course I decided to watch in the middle of the night while I was supposed to be asleep.

See, it would be a cock block if Schmidt, Jess and Nick weren't roommates.

In Schmidt's defense, I would probably be as angry if my towels were damp all the time.

My primary reason for liking Peter is how he's come out of prison a changed man. As despicable as his actions were prior to jail, he recognizes that he's done terrible things and goes to great length to try and ensure all of his actions now are above board even if such a strategy may not be the most efficient or in…

British shows generally tend to be faster paced than American ones due to the shorter season length, so I wouldn't worry about having to hang on in anticipation much longer.
