Do we have any evidence for this besides the coincidence of the character having the same name?

Varys probably throws shade like a queen when he's sloshed.

You are so right. The combined Honor Boner that Jon Snow and Stannis will be rocking in tandem might make every man at the Wall pregnant. I just hope that show doesn't make Sophie Turner do any weird sexual stuff in the Littlefinger/Sansa arc. I know the actress is 18, but come on.

Gods, that would be amazing.

Actually, "having sex with the second woman you're ever loved, after I had the first one gang-raped in front of you".

Guessing that there's going to be a lot of sparring between Olenna/Margaery and Cersei over the two weddings that Tywin was trying to engineer come next season.

Books 4 and 5 are the last two to be delivered as of yet, no? Unless Martin releases the sixth book this year, the show runners would effectively exhaust their reading material by next year if they compressed both books into one season. I've seen a fair amount of criticism of those books and it seems as though there's…

Lord Commander Mormont did.

Yeah, that scene is underrated because of how controversial it is. Plus you get to see Ros passing along his wisdom to another newbie girl in a later scene. She learned how to play the game from him.

To be fair, I think that comment was tinged with quite a bit of irony. Olenna never just straight-out compliments anyone.

It's really a commentary on the American hypocrisy about sex that we can't have a lead female character in Fiona's position use the most obvious assets she has to make money without feeling bad about it, because that would just make her a slut. So if she's going to work as a waitress at a Hooters-type restaurant and…

I just want to say, ZODIAC MOTHERFUCKER, that your commentary is one of the best things about these recap threads and just one more reason why it is so worth reading this years after the fact. You're like Whitman with a caps lock key.

Likewise, I'm here late for the party. Finally caved in and started watching after the insistences of friends, family and coworkers. I'm almost glad I waited until the show's end; I can't imagine having to wait months and months for the next episode after a finale like this.

Don't even try to start hating on that Guru line. That was one of his all-time best. Totally out of left field and brilliant in that kind of "huh, yeah, actually" while staying perfectly on cadence and building the rhythmic and semantic momentum of the rap. Contrast that to Dre's "slippin'" montage, which is just a…

@avclub-9b01c25473020f57ea13af6b5f4f11a2:disqus So a ball-less penis was still considered a threat? How would that work? I would presume some fancy prostate-stimulating foreplay would have to take place before the deed was done? There's nothing quite so strange and pathetic as the intersection of psychosexual…

I'm so happy that they're keeping that thread alive, especially since it's a departure from the books. More Podrick antics in Season 4!

Definitely winced right there.

Qu'est-ce que c'est?

I totally feel you on the gender gap, but I think it goes both ways. There's a lot of fanboy love for Daenerys, but most of it seems to be based on Emilia Clarke being like OMG so hot. The character herself seems to get an undue amount of flack for her decisions, and there's a distinct double standard where her…

@avclub-782066c88e9c574d6085f3ddfc7032e4:disqus I'm hoping we see more of it. Unfortunately, I think that keeping an eye on Prettyboy Daario will take up most of their time next season. Fucker stepped to the head of the line without waiting his turn in the friend zone.
