That is awesome. My grandma has outlived at least one priest who gave her her last rites. I'm pretty sure it's the brandy.

THIS. This is the ultimate reason that I am pro-choice. Every other argument about abortion (whether you're for or against) is logically flawed, as I see it. Ultimately, I have the right to cut off anything reliant on my body, and if they can't live without it - they can't live without it.

Dude. I want to print that reply out and hand it out to every pro-lifer I ever come across. (And I live in a country where abortion is illegal. I'm gonna need to print a lot.)

It's a 2-part miniseries, not a movie, but the end of Birdsong (it was on the BBC) makes me cry like a baby every time. I used to have the second part on my DVR and when I wanted a good cry I'd just watch the last 20 minutes. It is a pretty happy ending though! (Sort of.)

I hear Gimme Brow by Benefit is really good for sparse brows, there's loads of reviews online for it too.

Hahaha awesome!

Yeah, I mean I feel like I cut them a lot of slack, but if they can find time to film an extended documentary of Craster's rape house, I'm pretty sure they can find the time to keep in a POV character who happens to be the woman with the most independent power in the whole series (except Dany. But, y'know, dragons.)

I was so fucking happy when I saw the Alexander Siddig announcement - I literally didn't look at the other casting for about 10 minutes because I was so excited. He has been who I wanted to play Doran since I read the book, he's always been who I pictured him as - and I didn't even know he auditioned for the role…

Exactly. I'm normally pretty laid back about the changes they make, but now that we're in the territory where they're making drastic changes that essentially spoil characters' fates... It really sucks.

That is fantastic, well done! (I admit, I had to google what the maximum score is - you are a rock star!)

Luther is REALLY good. British and modern - and most importantly, Idris Elba. And it's on netflix :-)

I'd assumed they might cut out Quentyn or combine his role with Trystane's, since he's probably not going to wind up marrying Myrcella... But like you said, Arianne's potential marriage alliances are really important! I really liked the Viserys reveal - it really shows how much of a serious planner Doran is. And…

Anyone else really sad about the (apparent) exclusion of Arianne Martell in Game of Thrones? I really like her as a character, and I think her arc is important! Someone please share my pain :(

I always enjoy any theory to do with the Reeds for their sheer ridiculousness.

Yeah, that actor's contracted to come back apparently.

Haha my first thought when seeing that actor was "well there goes the Howland Reed theory".

They're saying they only want to do 7 or 8 seasons though - there's really no time to stretch out the Feast and Dance stuff when they've already started on those books last season.

I assume they do - Euron, Victarion, JonCon and Young Griff come to mind. Plus, I'm sure that casting list leaked a while back had the waif (and maybe the kindly man?) on it.

Sure is. Disproportionate pandering to old religious voters - what's not to love?
