Other than the Craster's Keep filler, the Rape that Apparently Never Happened, and the lack of Lady Stoneheart, this has by far been the best season.

My Theory (book spoilers obviously):

Agreed 100%. We all read the books and watch the shows for the political conflicts. GRMM won't just have magic swoop in and save the day (or ruin it). Jon, Dany, and Tyrion won't be the three heads of the magic dragon trio that defeats the evil White Walkers. If anything, I expect Dany to be the series' ultimate…

Well, I saw an 8 PM showing on Thursday night, and I have to say that this was ALMOST as good as the original. While the film does focus more on the (gorgeously executed) battle scenes and dragon menagerie, the character arc for Hiccup is still great and the family drama is compelling. Overall it's a fantastic movie…

Game of Drones (that joke has been made here before, hasn't it?)

I don't normally watch many cable comedies, but I am incredibly excited for Benched and bummed about the network comedies. Benched has Jane from Happy Endings, Ted from Better Off Ted, the one actress from Under the Dome who was actually any good, and now Molly Shannon and some of my favorites from Community and…

So what are the odds that Stephen Fry's chief of staff (the blonde lady) is also a mole? I say it's bumped down from 80% to 60% since we already have our first mole.

Does anyone know if the show has cut the other languages out? For example, the people of Meereen should be speaking Ghiscari, but I'm pretty sure the show is using Valyrian there. Will we get Braavosi next season or will that be Valyrian as well?

But then afterwards Tommen will be sent to his room without his supper (or kittens).

At least part of it is that the show generally follows the books very, very closely. Most other tv shows that are based on books can't really be spoiled as the adaptations often go way off in their own direction.

Hopefully Penny was cut from the show.

I recently showed the pilot episode to my parents (they didn't like it, too much nudity), so I can confirm it was definitely Winterfell.

I really hope she poisons her own lemon cake and feeds it to him.

When he entered the room I whispered to my friends "Please don't be a rape scene, please don't be a rape scene, please don't be a rape scene"

Sorry, I can't like this because Maggie Smith is too awesome.

It doesn't help that Mance has had all of 12 minutes of screen time in the entire series

He'll show up in Dorne in Season 5.

I can't believe Men of Night's Watch #1, #2, and #3 got actual lines. I looked it up at one point and Grenn has been in more episodes than characters like Margaery, Stannis, Shae, and Gendry.

Hodor.

That deleted scene was amazing. Just like Olenna waving off Mace Tyrell when she's talking to Tywin. These elders just don't care for everyone's BS.
