Semantics :)

My stray observation responses: I think the death of Ser Barristan leaves a Tyrion-sized spot open for a wise, Westerosi advisor. Also, I think Melisandre knows that Jon has king's blood running through his veins and wanted to see if she could make a killer smoke baby with him, maybe one she could send to Winterfell.

Since beers in Utah are only allowed to have something like 4% ABV, you’ll need many misbegotten free refills before it makes it worth your while.

It's legal until it is annulled (if marriage works more or less the same way in Westeros as it does in the here and now).

It gets what Stannis is looking for: a united North, and you only get that with a Stark. Sansa being married to Tyrion and wanted by the Queen is surely a problem, but I'm sure that Littlefinger already has a plan on how to work that out.

I did read it, and I honestly don't even know what your point is, your responses don't seem to have anything to do with what I'm trying to get across here. Nothing I am saying has anything to do with R + L. It has to do with Rhaegar and who he might have been as a ruler.

I would never expect someone to remember me, let alone what I order, that's so beyond entitled. Conversely, I always get really excited when one of the people who work at a nearby Subway remember that I like lots of jalapenos without me asking. It makes me feel special.

I've never been charged for extra veggies and I get an obscene amount of jalapenos on my subs. However, my husband's favorite sub is the Buffalo Chicken and some franchises will let you add extra buffalo sauce for free, some will charge you, and some will just plain not let you have any extra, paid or not. It's…

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have married my husband in the first place if he was someone who treats service professionals that way. Don't marry assholes, don't procreate with assholes, let their kind die off.

Was the festival you were volunteering at Bonnaroo? I only ask because of the Ben and Jerry's, my husband and I went VIP last year and each ate our weight in free Cherry Garcia. I volunteer at a local brewery every once in a while, pouring beers or whatever they need help with and it never ceases to amaze me how rude…

Hence why I threw in presumably.

Not necessarily. Rhaegar was still a married man who ran off with his sister, even if she did go along willingly. I'm speaking more about fitness as a leader than content of character. 15 years in, I imagine an alternative to Robert and his son Joffrey was looking appealing.

Have you read A Dance with Dragons? When they burn Mance in that book, it isn't really Mance. It's another wildling, Rattleshirt, with a glamour applied by Melisandre to make him look like Mance. So yeah, there is a possibility that Mance isn't actually dead, because they didn't actually burn Mance, but as you can…

I discount nothing, but I think Ned's greater connection to protecting Dany is probably based on a couple of things: his overarching morality and, I am just guessing, maybe he thought that there being an alternative to Robert and his incest kids wouldn't be such a bad thing. I think Ned, over the years, realized what…

The whole time I thought, "yep, that's where Joffrey gets it, and she isn't even a product of incest (presumably)!"

SPOILERS - I think Mance is really dead. Which sucks, because I love Ciaran Hinds and he was so underused in this character. Regarding major character deaths, GRRM says people are going to be angry at how many characters die this season, and that's another reason I think Mance is really dead. I think the cliffhanger…

Her character always seems to play things for the melodrama and I just chalked that statement up to who she is, rather than there being something beyond Don's womanizing, etc. that particularly destroyed their family.

My husband and I just recently shared with each other what our Supermarket Sweep strategy would have been. It's all about them diapers and hams.

I think Morgan's cold open, in which he disabled, but did not kill, the two Wolves, will come back into play next season and prove Rick's stance on not allowing dangerous people to live.

It's not legal, not in Texas, or any other state in the US.
