I actually read a theory that Sansa won't survive the fall and will become Lady Stoneheart in Season 6. Someone responded with something like, "Why not? As seen with her replacing Jeyne Poole, bitches be interchangeable on the show, apparently!"

With his death and Leonard Nimoy's, this is a bad year for my tall, deep-voiced actors from the '50s/'60s crushes.

Plus he'd never done a werewolf film, so that was checked off the list.

I'm so tired. >collapses in tears<

I understand your rationale, but then what is Stannis's long term plan? After he dies, who does he see sitting on the Iron Throne? He's destroyed his legacy. Even in his desperation, you think he'd keep that in mind, since he doesn't particularly want the Iron Throne for himself. He's doing it because it's his duty,…

Tyrion: "Not you, Jorah."
Jorah: "Why not? You let in Jorah Glumpet."
Missandei: "It says no Jorahs. We're allowed to have one."

I…kind of thought Stannis's whole obsession was with succession and passing the throne on to Shireen? If he isn't fighting to pass the throne on to her, what the hell is he fighting for again? He keeps saying the throne is his by right, that he doesn't particularly want it, but that by right it's his and his family's…

Seriously. I thought of that, too. These arguments really don't hold water once you bring in all the historical context.

I haven't read the books, so I can only speak to my experience with the show. Going by the show, it seems to me that if we use Martin's logic here — rape as a historical accuracy of the time period — we should probably be also seeing all the women with hairy legs and probably no makeup. I mean, Natalia Tena even asked…

Were the writers just waiting in the wings for Sophie Turner to turn eighteen to start these shenanigans? >shudders for fifty years<

I think it's implied at the end of the second episode that Grace feels guilty leaving Frankie alone when she's obviously still shattered by everything, so she agrees to let Frankie live at the beach house so she can have someone with her.

Agreed, although I think she should have kept the scarf. Gave it a half businesswoman, half airline hostess from the '60s vibe that killed.

I've only just started watching the second season, but I feel already that Sansa and Arya are the only Starks with any game, and that includes "Arresting Tyrion Without Enough Evidence While My Husband Is Already Walking On A Tightrope With The Lannisters" Cat.

He is definitely the Winston of this show, and that's a-ok with me.

We better all agree that Peter Finch made a phenomenal Boldwood at any rate. He needed more screen time.

I guess I'm warming up to the idea of Carey Mulligan as Bathsheba, though I've been pretty resistant until now. Mulligan's pretty, but I feel like you need a Catherine Zeta Jones (who once played Eustacia Vye) or Vivien Leigh (who was going to play Bathsheba in a version that fell through) type of dark beauty and…

I agree, and I think it probably has a lot to do with the fact that it might be the only Hardy novel not to make you want to kill yourself at the end. Ends on a surprisingly happy and uplifting note.

Oh, okay. I don't remember that part. I need to dig up that episode again. Thanks!

Wait, wasn't it some kind of mystical pit that brought the book to life in Mystery Dungeons? The first time we met Magus was in "Li'l Dude" when he brought Finn's hat to life, I thought. Am I remembering things super wrong again?
