People who have been murdered don't have to suffer over and over and over again by watching it be depicted carelessly on TV. See the difference?

Man, I have a LOT of raging to do about this entire thing. However, as much as I resent that it appears that Sansa's rape is being used to empower Theon, I am also kind of relieved that we didn't have to see her going through it. The scene was probably the most viscerally upsetting thing I've ever watched, and we…

And she's technically Obara Sand, so.

I don't even care all that much about the rumors, but holy hell! I was so distracted during their scene because it was obvious that they didn't even film it together. Terrible.

I think it's great the way the series is offering subtle parallels between Dany and Jon this season.

Bloody flux sounds basically like a bad flu, right? I guess greyscale is more like…syphilis? As far as its incubation period and that it can eventually cause madness before eventually killing the person, I mean.

That moment was a punch in the gut for me because I'm very much like Don in that way.

I think you're both right, actually. The pitch is competent and the product is the future, but the pitch isn't Draperesque because it isn't hopeful, it's pragmatic and aww-shucks-y.

Thank you for this, because I totally assumed cannibalism and I thought, "Hell this is BLEAK, even for Mad Men!"

You're very lucky, then, because I've seen it a LOT and it's eye roll inducing.

Honestly, I lost count. Incredible stuff.

Me too. I felt totally sideswiped by this episode.

This is an good point, especially regarding Littlefinger.

Whiny is my perception of it, certainly. I would also argue that there are many cases in which it is irrational. Condensing such a huge series into a limited medium means that a lot of things will have to get cut. I often see complaints about omissions that don't ultimately serve a great narrative purpose, so yeah. To…

It's a terrifying scene, and brilliantly acted by Alfie Allen.

I refuse to believe this. Even if it happens, I'll refuse to believe it happened. NOPE.

Frey pie is the one thing that turns me into a whiny irrational book reader, like, "But you HAVE to have Frey pies! YOU HAVE TO! D&D U DONE FUCKED UP."

That and some additional Rhaegar characterization.

I felt that that was going to become Dany's big obstacle in Westeros but I guess this kind of confirms that Dany was going to be the winning dragon in that dance, eh?
