I read that chapter this morning, and it struck me as how odd it seemed to be to put that scene in that last episode. I do hope you're right though, and that they add the end of the scene into next season, very powerful, and also a reminder of how much I both love and hate Martin's writing. The last line of that…

Ageism is everywhere nowadays

Horny, Dopey and Trippy.

An assplosion.... surely you want fleshbot for that..... wait, what?

Off the top of my head,

I see no water slide, I see no pool, I see no ridiculously awesome climbing frame.

He already did that. I imagine it imediately preceeded his scene with Roz in the finale.

You know, I really do get the rage, I've felt it enough times (they replaced Sebastian Shaw with Hayden Christianson at the end of Jedi..... #@*&%^&?!#$GRAAARRGGGHGHHHHHHHHH), but I think there are a few things that deserve slightly more credit.

Regarding Ewoks and speach, I don't know whether this has been posted down bellow (and I know I should check... but still).

You don't have to. While reading the book just imagine the characters as they are in the show.

Really though, with having the big, all out finale last week, now they can tease us and whet our appetites for what's to come.

No less than 5 months or so seems to be the current average time bewteen a film release and DVD release, but with TV serials the DVDs generally show up shortly before the newest season airs.

Maybe the platypus is just the spawn of the most heroic and fantastic gang bang the natural world has ever seen in the in all of the animal kingdom.

A wizard did it.

Sounds great. Throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you've got a stew going.

Pfft. Like we needed telling.... or even reason....

I think varys finds out through Tyrion.... or perhaps the other way round. But it's not quite as described in the TV show. It's not really hinted at that he's still spry and not a dithering old man, moreso that his wit is as sharp as anyones and he's still extremely clever.

It isn't the same person, but in the book the bard who gets presented to Joffrey regarding the treasonous song does indeed have his tongue cut out, after being made to choose between hand and tongue.
