Like did they spend time looking for a photo where he looks like the Penguin or does he always look like that?

Of course. Predictable from like book 2. Plus the series is called A Song of Ice and Fire.

So it'd be a stalemate then? Ingenuity seems to be in short supply all around (One army put Jon in charge, another decided to only deploy one ballista to deal with potentially 3 dragons, and the last burnt food supply wagons just after complaining about how to provision their armies).

To be fair (maybe), brother sister incest is magnitudes worse than aunt nephew incest in terms of shared genes.

Does Rick need to be shielded by Morty now that he's dealt with the two most powerful intergalactic/dimensional threats that he had?

Sam sent word to Jon at Winterfell about the dragonglass on Dragonstone. He know he's there

We didn't see how closely Sam worked on Jorah's privates…

Re Jon hiding the truth about being undead: isn't it the Hands' jobs to be briefing each other about all the details of each ruler's story?

To be fair, it's not like Jaime made a big deal out of it either:
"Don't ever betray me again"
"You wot bitch? Don't you see these scorch marks?!?"

They could just each have the first letter of their name sewn on to the hat in bright colors!

That all depends on whether anyone finds the record that Sam had in his dwelling. Although they'll probably get around that by having either Sam or whatshername having perfect memory and recalling it despite that it was meaningless info for them and in the context of more important issues being discussed.

The bear description is also Martin's way to harken back to him being a Mormont and link him more closely to the Watch Commander.

JD was amiably goofy for the first few seasons. I agree with the list above

She's Beth in Rick and Morty. But yeah she's got a face for not voice work

I read it during season 2 or 3 so I guess I forgot something. I know the Dornish male character the show cut proved he wasn't cut out to be one of the three heads, but I forgot what happened to the other guy.

Excellent weight counterbalances on that scorpion - for something that size made out of heavy woods and metals (as it would need to be to withstand the pressure it'd need to fire them bolts), it moved for one person like it was all made out of plastic…

No, Bran would describe it in excruciating detail back to Jon and then tell him 'gross dude!'

He's told us in the books though. Daenerys, Jon, and Rhaegar's son that everyone thinks the mountain killed. Only problem for the show is that they cut that while character/storyline (I mean it's not really a problem mind you - that character and his friends are all duds anyway).

Isn't Morty's insight about Rick just a function of the time he has spent with him? I mean Summer seems to have already realised it. So maybe Beth will finally get over her desire to have Rick in her life when she actually gets what she wants.

I just assumed he was from the dimension where everyone eats their own shit. Theyve talked about one of them haven't they?
