I have seen my grandmother skin rabbits once or twice. It was a few years ago—she only keeps a couple of chicken now—and my memory has never been excellent, but the scene looked pretty realistic to me. It's a fairly clean job if you do it right (at least until you gut the animal), and I recall that the only part that…

@avclub-d0cf409eb912cc0cc950b41b6d892d07:disqus Two episodes ago Littlefinger was declaring himself indebted to Tyrion for saving her… Some would call that ironic.

Oh, great: now I am stuck with the mental picture of Peter Stormare playing a part in Game of Thrones. It is an interesting possibility… Something for the experts to ponder, I suppose.

I'm thinking of Minority Report…

@idiotking It does look appropriate. And the face actually belongs to a CEO, as I have found through tineye.com, though it might be inappropriate for me to "out" him, as it were, without his permission.

Yes, it looks as if the seven kingdoms are… eight. Or is it, perhaps, the status of the Iron Islands that bears some clarification?

If he were fat, I expect most people would mention that first…

@cadc:disqus Wildfire is supposed to be about as stable as nitroglycerine, so I don't think these caches would last so long without a single accident.

@avclub-1df8797177fc3b52be6784aacca7358c:disqus I also liked the very last shot, with the lion shield in the foreground and the crushed siblings in the back: it almost felt like a comment on the Lannisters, no?

@avclub-e65076d21d4b718526e684473c359d55:disqus I suspect that Cersei may come to dedicate her energies to undermining Loras's position, and although Joffrey will usually listen to his new Queen, he is bound to become displeased with her at some point, even for a little while. That might just prove sufficient for him…

I don't see what Robb could do to his mother other than place her under arrest. Executing your own mother (or father, or brother) will make you tremendously unpopular, and I think there are a few examples in history that prove this. People expect you to be more lenient to your close relatives, and I haven't seen…

@Scrawler2:disqus I suppose it didn't even occur to him that Karstark would kill two boys for the sake of revenge. Extreme adherence to a code of honour apparently leads to a lack of imagination.

The "in most cases" also applies to the first part of the comparison… But I haven't heard of any baronets in Westeros.

@EvelKareebel:disqus Probably not, but I smiled at the thought.

@avclub-f121d09285898f1c66d66f1e6f0455a6:disqus I was trying to remember where I had heard that cue… I'm not sure I'd interpret it this way, though; the music is grim, and appropriate for death, and that's what it accompanied on both occasions.

Edited several times, then aborted. Is there any particular reason why one cannot delete one's post soon after making it?

When Dany reached Astapor in the first episode, I initially mistook the spectacular dawn over the city for an urban conflagration: it really looked as if the whole city was on fire. Perhaps this was a coincidence, but I'll be very pleased if it turns out to have been a visual taste of things to come.

Speaking of which, I loved the following exchange in Littlefinger's brothel:

Tywin didn't seem so much angry as weary about Tyrion's little display; if anything, Cersei seemed more annoyed than him.* I also liked the look he gave Littlefinger when the latter rushed to take the seat nearest to him.

My story is similar. I first watched "Fringe" on the Greek television, where the first two seasons were broadcast after they ended in the United States; I had heard of the series, and being a fan of the "X-Files" I was positively disposed towards it from the start (I still have fond memories of the, erm, jaw-dropping…
