See what we have here is…failure to communicate.

The original Creme Eggs are kinda gross, but the Chocolate Creme & Caramel Creme Eggs are delicious.

Hey! Luigi bring-a you keeds a free pizza! Why you have to make-a the fun, eh?

Rice?
Peanuts?
Chips?
Popcorn?
Peas?

I'll take your word for it—I have to admit I haven't been paying attention to it.

I dunno—they might have SAID that, but the show's a phenomenal success. It'd be hard not to milk it. And even if D&D wanted out, maybe HBO would continue without them (though one hopes not).

Yeah, not a fan. Mainly, the book wildlings come off as tough people living under tough circumstances, who do what they have to do to survive. They're not really vicious or blood thirsty, let alone monstrous.

She also says "Don't" and "It's not right" a couple times. And attempts to fight him off physically, while he rips her clothes.

Why only 7? I'm guessing HBO would be cool with continuing to make assloads of money off this show for as long as they can, so it seems to me that D&D could keep going pretty much as long as they wanted.

Seems to me they'd want to draw out the show as much as possible. If anything, I would assume they'd turn books 4 & 5 into at least 3 seasons, if not 4. I'm less worried than most that the show will outpace GRRM's writing soon.

Baelish's accent bothered me, too, but I wondered if, maybe, it was a choice by Gillen? Might the smoother, posher accent he uses in King's Landing be a kind of mask? Maybe the way Littlefinger speaks in this episode is meant to be the "real" him?

But that doesn't make sense, either, since by this point Jamie is becoming LESS of a villain. He's on the road to redemption & This is a completely unnecessary detour. I don't know how they follow up on this, or on Jamie & Cersei's relationship, without addressing the assault. It'll be harder for people to root for…

Yeah, you really do need to re watch it. She says "Stop it" & "No" & "It's not right" & "Don't", forcefully I would say, & she attempts to physically fight him off as well. He even tears her clothes, & not in a sexy, "take me!" kind of way. Seemed pretty unambiguous to me.

"Somehow"? I think it's because not only does she say & do terrible things all the time, she also THINKS terrible things. She never doubts her righteousness or her superiority over EVERYbody.

I never really thought about that, @avclub-a1967e6de4ca99fb2635d94b99453928:disqus , because show Cersei is still pretty awful, but they do at least occasionally humanize her. Book Cersei, though, is just evil throughout—literally not a sympathetic note there at all.

They could have salvaged it, at least somewhat, by turning her objections in the direction that the books did—i.e., it was more about Cersei not wanting Jamie to fuck her right there & then. But if they think they did that in this episode, they failed, because that's not at all clear.

"The show even goes so far as to add another gruesome touch—that Cersei is holding her dead son’s hand throughout."

How about two girls, one cup?

Often wikipedia has detailed plot summaries, which can serve the same purpose, but not for this film (at least not yet).

I dunno—sounds like a pretty easy gig for a psychiatrist.
