How is this real?

How is this real?

I don't think he's looking to get Arya hurt. Littlefinger knows that Joffrey is a disaster and that the Lannisters' days in power are numbered.  His knowledge of Arya is very valuable to any of the likely victors, either directly in trade with the Starks or in securing a Stark alliance.

Ned's brother and father being killed is what kicked off the war (although his sister's vanishing set things in motion), so presumably the engagement transferred to Ned prior to him going off to war. That would be a bit extreme of Catelyn though, to treat Ned cheating on her, the woman who had until JUST then been his…

I'm not asking for purposes of "Spoiler patrol", I'm just curious as to whether or not I missed something.  

Garris- I don't know; I'm pretty sure it's on the HBO companion site.  

I Will Probably Forget This Qu- To be fair, my response was not specifically to your comment.  It had more to do with the fact that week after week, there are endless casual digs at anyone not on Team Democrat thrown out in any forum about any topic on this site.  In my experience, those same people get…

It seems like the common Greyjoy trait is to be both greedy AND stupid about it.

And bring a cup of the finest Dothraki breastmilk.

I definitely agree. This is what I was worrying about with all of the different storylines. We get a little of each one, but 3 episodes back to back are adding up to almost nothing.  By far the most interesting is Arya/Tywin, but it seems like that would only amount to a week or so before Tywin would travel again. …

Sooner or later they are going to need some help from Northerners though, and it while there are no disadvantages to the Starks letting it spread that they are still alive (Theon already knows that), there are definitely benefits to humiliating Theon and letting the Northerners know that their beloved Lords are still…

Inbox00- It doesn't matter. The story of Joffrey's parentage is already out there, and the consequence of that story getting out is a war for the throne, which they already have.  If Joffrey wins, it's not going to matter what anyone knows about his family, because he already defeated the people who could depose him.

Yeah, we definitely are supposed to know that those are the orphan boys.  I think the look on Theon's face is that even though he was enough of a shit to give the orders, looking at the bodies hanging there makes him realize that he is evil.  He's been looking at everything through the prism of what he wants, as…

I hope this isn't a spoiler for the re-boot, but X-O also introduced one of the first gay characters in mainstream comics.  I'm never a fan of tokenism and very special episodes, but Valiant did it very matter-of-factly, to the point where in one of the monthly editorials, either Bob Layton or Jim Shooter had to…

Valiant was pretty amazing up until the end of the Unity crossover, which is when the company's financiers got rid of Jim Shooter through a series of soap opera-worthy events.  After that, they went down everyone else's route of calling things "Blood Ninja Deathwolf" or whatever.  
Prior to that, though, they really…

Well YOU'RE a symptom of  MSNBC watching!  Nyah Nyah!

But whoever Snow's mother is, Ned did keep it a secret from his wife. And it seems likely that the mother would be dead, for Ned to end up with the baby.  So we're talking about a noble woman who died at the end of Robert's Rebellion, whose identity needed to be secret from everyone, including Ned's best friend/blood…

Maybe it's because Varys knew that the Drogo was not going to come to Westeros just because of the marriage agreement with Viserys, but if he had been insulted by the Westerosi king by an attempt on his wife, he would break Dothraki tradition and cross the sea.  Maybe Varys even planned on Jorah saving her at the last…
