    I wonder if HBO will include the gruesome image of Grey Wind's head stitched atop Robb's body? Ugh...

    I can't wait until Walder and Bolton both bite it. LOL

    Nevermind. I just read the chapter featuring Joffrey's demise. That... was... epic!

    Yeah, figured I'd let you read it and decide for yourself. Just given the description of "cause of death" it seems weaksauce.

    Not that she's ugly (I happen to find her very attractive), but can anyone else see Katee Sackhoff as Lady Brienne next season?

    Well, come on. You can get away with it for Hodor. Brienne, if she isn't "built like a man," to at least some degree it's gonna seem kinda forced.

    When I started Dragon Age II, I thought that Aveline matched what I thought Brienne would look like.

    It was pretty much at this point that my opinion of Tyrion, which had sort of always went from "he's cool" to "I'm not sure," went to "he's the most awesome character here."

If I had to guess I think the red priestess was involved somehow, but that's just a guess.

    Just got past the part where Davos takes the Red priestess to Storm's End to kill Cortnay and all I can say is WTF!?!?

    Anyone tired of the talking during the Sex scenes? I wish they would just go Spartacus style and flash it up there for eye candy and leave the idiotic speeches out of it. No more back story. NO more prostitute training sessions with mega revealing dialogue that no self respecting spy master would reveal his most important character driving thoughts to new found hookers.

    Much of the show is to like. Much is sooooooo disappointing for a book reader. Argghhh.

    They better CGI the hell out of this part. I want to see something scary get born! Just hope they dont break down and decide that is the moment to give some boring back story. Show more tell us less.

    I figure that since I've read the book, I can ignore the dialogue and focus on the eye candy during those scenes.
