Yes.

That's my favorite depiction of the afterlife. As soon as I found out you could eat as much as you want and never gain any weight, I knew I wanted to die.

I think, in the show, it's because of the guilt he'll feel over Myrcella. The only reason he went to Dorne was to bring her home alive, after her life was threatened. This was all Cersei wanted from him after he failed to protect Joffrey, too. He's now seen two of his three children die in front of him, and the only

I still need to see that, if only for Dillane.

So much of this series is revealing about our own history. We think about all these great historical figures, of which there are maybe two or three every century. But what about the dozens every few decades who tried or were pretenders? What about those who were displaced?

Seriously. I've seen her pubes get painted by a Nazi resistance fighter. Game of Thrones is tame compared to her past work.

Snow is both a savior in person and in meteorological metaphor!

Stannis actually wasn't my favorite character until I could picture Stephen Dillane in the role. After that? I would have been perfectly happy to see Melisandre proven right. Dillane nailed Renly's description that Stannis has the personality of a lobster. It's pure charisma through the complete and utter lack of

She's symmetrical, though?

Cue yakkety sax!

That's interesting, I've been a fan of van Houten since well before she was on the show. I've always rooted for Melisandre because of that, more so than I probably otherwise would.

I've always expected her to go back to the Dothraki before she returned to Westeros. It's sort of like how both Anakin and Luke have to return to Tatooine before they can fulfill their destinies — unfinished business. She calls herself a Khaleesi, thus she needs an actual Khalasar.

Also, it's Roy Scheider.

Not sarcastic enough, apparently.

The fact that it was coupled with Bran standing and being shocked to see him, connecting directly to Jon Snow seeing him last season, seems to suggest it hasn't been forgotten at all.

I'm invested in the world and the outcome of all this mischigoss, and where it leaves humanity by the end.

It's literally the only show I'm invested in emotionally. And any trailer that hints at a flashback to the Tower of Joy is, by definition, not joyless. So nyah.

Is Rowsdower a stupid name?

Simon Beck snow artist? Simon Beck's no artist!
