You're right, and I'm sure there's extremely little ad-libbing on the show, if any at all, but in this case we're talking about four words, delivered in less than a second, that didn't alter that conversation at all.  It just seems like a feasible ad lib, and Dinklage seems like the type to come up with an ad lib like…

@avclub-d0cf409eb912cc0cc950b41b6d892d07:disqus Very true; my own fantasy maps have always been all 2D and single-continent as well.  Spherical thinking is difficult.

@avclub-7d3599b51843974f0e36e2cb2397ed32:disqus The confusion wasn't about whether that was a woman, it was about who she was having sex with.  Someone thought it was another lesbian scene, but I'm pretty sure the woman was practicing with an actual man this time.

(Not an insult; an homage.)

Those things belong in/on my coffee and my women.

No one said "giant."

It's kind of a combination of the two.  The earth's rotational axis is sort of tilted, compared to its orbital axis (rather than being perfectly perpendicular), so when it's on one side of the sun, the northern hemisphere is closer and more exposed to the sun than the southern hemisphere, and vice-versa on the other…

I never caught that "fanatic" line.  Interesting.  I hope you're right about Melisandre just being a trickster rather than a real magical person.  Good on you for the Princess Bride reference.

Yeah, I don't much like her either… but if she's going to become a real companion for Tyrion, and not just his designated whore, then I might be able to get onboard with her.

Yeah, she's definitely a teenager.  I believe the DVD commentary said she's 13 in the books, and they aged her up a few years for the show, but she's still pretty damn young.  You can't expect a teenager to not be naive, and occasionally make mistakes, or fail to think something through to its conclusion. Especially…

That scene with Ser Loras in the first season seemed to suggest that the idea of being king hadn't really occurred to Renly until then.  If Lord Tyrell is as rich as Loras said he was, then it makes sense for Renly to be able to raise a pretty big army; it just seemed crazy for it to be bigger than the Lannister army,…

@avclub-d7f43e1fb2d4977c86163d9b0cb07814:disqus That scene is certainly more about Baelish than the sex.  That sex does go on for a very long time, and makes me slightly uncomfortable, but Baelish's monologue there is so good, and the context of it works so well.  I can't really imagine Lord Baelish giving a monologue…

Just having some fun with you. ;)  By "text from inside the house" I just meant how she was inside waiting for him when he got home.  As for the wine, I don't understand what your hangup is about that.  Hank didn't come home specifically to have some wine — Carrie was the one who suggested they drink together, and…

Sure would, brohim.

@avclub-d7f43e1fb2d4977c86163d9b0cb07814:disqus TOTALLY!  Damn that was confusing.

Fair enough.  Though I don't like it when women claim that they're the only objectified sex.  That's not true.  It happens more often with women, sure, especially on Game Of Thrones, but men are very frequently reduced to their physical appearances as well.  Take it from a pale skinny dude, there are a ton of big,…

I guess I actually don't know, but I did think they were essentially zombies.  And I thought those guys in the first episodes were just zombies too, only wearing a little fur, as people north of the Wall tend to do, and further along in their zombification, with the blackened skin and such.  But I would not be…

Of course, because the greenhouse gasses are still building up, it takes more and more ice each time.  Thus solving the problem once and for all.

Can't really argue with any of that.  Though I find a way to support the show anyway, 'cuz I just love those other Gallaghers.

Neither the unpunished shooting nor the "The text is coming from inside the house" thing made a ton of sense.
