Yes.

Yeah, Winterfell is built on hot underground springs I think.

Yeah. The most logical story would be Ramsay killing Roose so he can become Warden of the North. He has another reason for doing this: Roose may give birth to an heir. But if it was the other way around that would be very interesting.

I didn't feel it was insane at all, it just seemed apt. In one scene alone we see Daenerys remind the people who she really is - the mother of dragons, a remnant of Old Valyria - and also she is not a little girl but a ruler. As the dragons are hidden and away, and as Targs are famous for their dragons, it was about…

People were annoyed when it was released that Quentyn Martell would not be a character in the show. I agree that I liked his book parts well enough, but how confusing would it be for newbies….

I like the idea of Roose killing Ramsay. But they gotta wrap this all up in the next five episodes, so I feel like they won't have time for too much awful foreshadowing re: Sansa's latest awesome marriage contract. (And I feel Sansa will not be at Winterfell by the end of the season.)

I figured out it was Theon as Sansa started walking inside and felt sick dread sitting coldly in my gut. Theon's torture scenes in the book were pretty intense.

Good point. That was done in the same way. Cool.

Not a grade A pedantic rant. You've reached a new level.

I think it's more like in the books. She recognizes something's important about him, realizes she needs him on side or to protect him from immediate death, because he's going to serve some purpose for her later. But I got the sense in the books she was too obtuse to understand why. (BOOK SPOILER) Remember that she…

Yeah, there's a bit of pandering. I didn't like Margaery being catty to Cersei for no reason - we get it, there's tension there. In other cases they rush things and some things could do with more pandering… a more developed introduction to the idea of the Faith Militant and its impact, for example. It looks like a…

I have to admit I've been surprised when people have referred to The Hound/Sandor as "Dog" and Tyrion as "The Imp." I almost feel like saying: "That's deprecatory, you know."

Asked myself this question many times. I actually think Breaking Bad is a "tighter" show and did a better job of making me sympathize entirely with a character I initially disliked VERY much (hey, Skylar!). While both had "WTF" moments on an extreme level, and though GoT I think is more uneven… I'm going to say I love…

Yup. Adaptation choices - whether they're good or bad - are referenced in the review, but mostly get a lot of debate down here. There's also spoilery stuff in the reviews (clearly marked).

Yes, I found it cheesy and overdone. A lot of reviewers did too, with special reference to the weird symbols carved into their heads being "hard-core" (sarcastically). To me, I just thought: "Seriously, did a Holy War just break out in, like, five minutes?" It was like an angry montage with over-the-top music. And it…

I felt a creepy foreshadowing for Sansa when she picked up Robert's feather. "Don't stand near Lyanna, honey, it's bad luck…."

I can't believe I have to ask this stupid question, but let's just go with me looking at the parts closely while ignoring the overall story:

"We hate the Lannisters so much we'll kill you for bringing him here."

He gets his own chapters in the 5th book doesn't he?

Not cool.
