Ahh, ok that makes sense. If it was just a few decades or even centuries you wouldn't expect people to entirely forget how to deal with them, but a lot of knowledge can be lost over the course of millennia.

So, I feel like I should know this already, but…. how common a threat are the Walkers? I know it's not an "every winter" kind of blight, but how often do they come around?

That really is one of the best movies I've ever seen.

Yes. Someone hinted last week that Mel might have some ancient-Greek type plans for her and my first thought was…. oh shit, not Iphigenia.

Ohhh no, I think it's just reanimated-corpse-Mountain at this point. Westeros doesn't develop robotics until next winter. In the books, at least.

Alfie Allen too! He has been impressive.

I mean, sure. I guess if GoT was the only reason you had an HBO sub, then by all means. Straw that broke the camel's back I guess, considering all the other horrific scenes you were apparently cool with.

I just don't understand what you expect? It is a grimdark fantasy series where the barbarity and horror of power struggles are literally the central focus of the plot.

Nahh, the most interesting Stark is the one they call Snow.

Haha yeahhh, Brasilia is actually the first thing I thought of when I saw Erik's EPCOT pick. Same core ideas, but in this case someone actually had the balls to execute it.

Like Iphigenia type plans? That's pretty dark.

Hahaha, that's so great!

They are obviously going to Gravity Falls, OR. Because where else?

Leprosy?

Unfortunately, Robert's most eligible bastard has been lost at sea for damn near two years. It'll be another 8 years before he finally rows that boat back to Ithaca.

Hey now, that Greyjoy fellow is just poised for a comeback! A comeback, I tell you!

Perfect response, when you only have 10 hours a year (and probably only 30 or 40 hours left in the entire show there has to be some economy in the storytelling.

I really liked this episode… I kept thinking of Iain M. Banks' book "The Player of Games" how each stage of the game is played on a different board.

I think he went off and joined the Lost Boys with Thoros and Beric.

Hey. Easy, friend.
