Speaking of homosexuality, we can't forget Xaro and the slave boys he is so fond of. On his pleasure barge. And the enslaved hermaphrodite in the freak tent. Gurm let her be the #1 freak

I've only read the last page or so of the tviv thread and saw some poo poo about putting ponies in the show and to make it better... What's going to cause them to start raging in this season? I want to see some goon tears over the next couple of months. Hashtag Nascar fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Apr 2, 2012 |

Renly getting killed by a magic demon shadowbaby, maybe a fakeout murder of Bran and Rickon by Theon, maybe they'll be sad about Qhorin Halfhand getting killed if he ends up being a cool character in the show. Still won't be anything compared to Season 3/4/whenever the Red Wedding is.

It would be pretty funny if GRRM brought back Ned. It would show he really doesn't give a gently caress anymore. Then again GRRM is the American Tolkien apparently and Tolkien did bring back Gandalf. Time for a countdown until Eddard the White, the reincarnation of Azor Ahai, appears?

That loving thread. If someone reports a post instead of PMing the three allowable people, do they get banned? Do they live in constant fear of having a precious tv moment ruined? Serious business. Also is the OP a serious My Little Pony fan? Maytag fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Apr 2, 2012 |

Hell that one OP is really well done in there, but anything beyond that I'm not going to touch. They've been lovely all year long, I don't think they're going to change any time soon. It's nice being in a thread where screaming "JON SNOW GET'S STABBED" doesn't have any repercussions. I wonder if Doctor Thodt will return this year.

I like watching the guys who have read the books try to bait the non-readers down lines of reasoning to get them to spoilers. "DID YOU SEE MELISANDRE'S BROOCH GLOW!? I THINK THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING MORE TO HER THAN WE THINK. WASN'T THAT SUBTLE YOU GUYS?" I kid. I kid cause I love. Renly, Robb, Catelyn, and Joffery all loving die.

I worded that badly. I meant I am glad I'm in a thread that isn't full of new people where I could accidentally spoil them without realizing it. (Also, it sucked answering for newbies last year because they would ask poo poo that couldn't be answered without spoiling poo poo).

Melisandre and Stannis were perfect. As was Varys' "this letter is from Tywin" smug little jab at Cersei. And of course I could watch Joffrey being slapped all day. Also, nice work on the Grey Wind cgi. Other than Dany being devastatingly boring, it was an ok ep.

GRRM has literally had to give her, in order-- a witch, loving dragons, an Exodus metaphor, a House of Hallucination Horrors, and a loving army of Eunuchs and still finds him writing her bent over, making GBS threads water and pining for ~~Daario~~. Well, ok that last bit is kind-of understandable, but the rest stands!

I remember losing harvesting time during all the wars being a major thing in the first few books, so they did know that winter was imminent by then. I don't remember it being the way the show did it though.

When Carcetti was getting accosted by Cersei, they ended that scene by focusing on the little boy scrubbing the floor. Think they'll go into Varys' subplot in more detail than the books? On Varys: Aegon is a Blackfyre, and Illyrio and Varys are playing a larger version of their early con; stealing a kingdom and selling it back to those they stole it from.
