I think showing that WW transforming the baby was meant to show they're not zombies? Though we really haven't spent much time with the WW to get the sense that they're a race apart. This is good, though, because they should remain mysterious—and scary—for as long as possible.

I dunno, maybe it's harder to do it on screen than on the page? In general, probably harder to be subtle on TV than in a book.

So, you just watch it, on TV, when it airs?
Huh.

I assume Stannis in season 5? Maybe he starts having fun NOW?

Me too.

They've done similar broad looks forward in earlier seasons, & there really aren't any spoilers for the upcoming season in here. Of course, it does assume that you've caught up, so if you haven't gotten through season 4, don't read it. Otherwise, if you're caught up, it's actually a pretty good overview (as well as…

I know we're supposed to read that as "discuss", but it just always looks like "discus" to me.

Troy was really bad, & a real disappointment considering the talent involved. The performances were quite good, though, especially Eric Bana's Hector, & Brad Pitt did a better job than I expected. But how they could take a great story that has stood the test of time for 3,000 years & fuck it up so badly I will ever…
