"I agree that gay people have to be outspoken and fight for their rights, especially in the US right now,  "

Whether it makes sense or not, I have an easier time accepting the dragons than I do some of the other magic.  Aside from the fire breathing, there's really nothing about dragons that couldn't have been a real animal (and there are enough poison-spraying, color-changing, bioluminescent-flashing animals that employ…

I know very little about Harry Potter past what I saw in the movies, but it seems like magic in that world is very much a technology, albeit one that operates off of a magical energy instead of electricity.  Magic had very specific limitations and rules.   As far as to what end they were learning magic, that's like…

Joffrey is strong on the 2nd Amendment? Really? He thinks civilians should be treated as equals when it comes to personal armament? Fail on that one.

Bran is picturing himself as the wolf, because he is going to be Lord of Winterfell.  Their house is represented by the wolf, and the head of the house would be THE wolf, just as Mormont was telling Dany that Rhaegar was the last one to be  "The Dragon" and that Visyeris was not truly "The Dragon".

I thought the three eyed raven was the symbol of premonition itself.  Sort of an indicator that "Hey, look, this is gonna happen".

I actually think this was the worst GOT episode so far.  It was the first one in which the show really seemed to suffer from having so many storylines going on in so many locations.  Everything gets a token mention, but we don't hang around long enough to see any real depth and development.

That has been my biggest question about the series from day one.  If it's perpetually frozen north of the wall
A) Why are there forests?
B) How are there a lot of people to worry about? The North is sparsely populated because it's so cold.  But even further north is teeming with Wildlings?

"I had to look up the spelling, but "Escaped prisoner in Lannister armor" introduced himself as Jaqen H'ghar a few episodes back. "

Well, regicide according to who? The Dothraki don't give a shit that Viserys was killed. Few or none in Westeros know, and few would care. Dany herself didn't consider him the "true dragon".  It's a bit like "if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around…"

Remember that to Robb, winning doesn't mean becoming King. Robb wants to get his sisters back and declare the North to be independent. As far as reprisals from the South, Winter is coming. The Southerners had a long history of not being able to take the North because their forces were useless there once winter hit. …

I'm surprised that it took the conversation so long to get to this point: Of course Winter is the answer.  Westeros is so sparsely populated because several times in a man's lifetime, the continent undergoes a decade+ of winter.  Even with a few years of backup supplies (and without canning and refrigeration, the…

In the current situation, I think all bets are off regarding who has THE legitimate claim, so anybody with half a claim can throw their hat in the
ring.  Joffrey isn't Robert's legit son, but he sits on the throne, so that's a moot
point.  The Starks have a very legitimate claim to fighting Joffrey,
especially if the…

Remember that there are TWO Targaryean kings who get brought up a lot:

I don't see how he proves anything about Joffrey.  What's the argument to someone who doesn't already believe that Jamie fathered Joffrey? "Look, this guy, who might possibly be the son of Robert Baratheon, according to essentially no evidence, sort of kind of looks like him! And has black hair!".  And? 

Let's be honest, Warrick Davis couldn't carry that role.

I don't know, I think it's pretty clearly implied that a life-long Joffrey reign would be terrible for everyone. 
In most cases, I do agree that it doesn't make a difference to the peasants who rules. But I bet the serfs who live near The Mountain's castle wouldn't agree, and Joffrey is that sadistic plus a lot more…

My guess is that Robert give Stannis Dragonstone island because it was simultaneously a major gift and a way to keep him isolated.  His personality would make him awkward to have as a frequent visitor at court, but he's also not someone who should be messed with. 
I think Renly's popularity is based on the fact that…

I disagree that they don't know how big the dragons are. At least, they know the dragons are small enough that three of them fit in boxes on one horse.

I was expecting someone would make the comparison to Rome soon.  They pulled the same trick with battle scenes frequently, except that it did become a problem at one point: As Caesar is preparing to fight his last battle against Pompeii, the talk is all about how Caesar's forces are too small and it's pretty much…
