ack! I read that as Mellisandre again! TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #88

to continue from below... NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #89

I think she'd make a good Arienne TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #98

another example NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #100

that's what I DON'T like about his writing TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #102

Sansa is in the building! Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #9

Arya laughs at the news of her Aunt's death. Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #16

I'm guessing that was hysteria TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #48

I thought she was laughing OriginalGeek Jun 2014 #52

I think that the culmination of everything she's been through TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #54

But remember, the Hound is included in her nightly recitations. DebJ Jun 2014 #68

In the books he wasn't TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #70

Thanks! n/t DebJ Jun 2014 #73

I will be sorry to see the Hound go. Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #76

If she gives him the gift of mercy in the show (possible spoiler..) Mike Daniels Jun 2014 #94

the gravedigger? TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #96

I'd say the gravedigger theory is pretty well supported. cemaphonic Jun 2014 #99

since you read the books NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #69

no TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #71

How many huge events are left though? cemaphonic Jun 2014 #78

Seems like kind of a rush NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #80

Not sure it had anything to do with the Hound Mike Daniels Jun 2014 #56

That was my guess too. Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #59

The Hound's face at that moment mwdem Jun 2014 #81

That scene with Peter Dinklage talking about the beetle... Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #17

I knew it was it was coming, but I didn't expect it to be as.... Liberal Veteran Jun 2014 #22

well, in the book NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #26

that's right, he was pierced to the ground with Oberyn's spear n/t TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #47

Critics called the episode "Simply smashing!" chrisa Jun 2014 #21

They did it well NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #23

Loved Littlefinger forecasting the manner of one character's demise Mike Daniels Jun 2014 #24

And NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #28

I'm assuming she went into her Aunt's wardrobe. Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #32

It just dawned on me. She's trying to look like her mother Cat. Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #33

that's part of it NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #41

Yep - husband and I both laughed out loud when he dropped that little line distantearlywarning Jun 2014 #29

I think episode 9 NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #37

that's what I think TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #46

My blind prediction of episodes 9 and 10 - This will be George R.R. Martin's face: chrisa Jun 2014 #64

Don't keep me hanging. What was the line? Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #31

In explaining to Robin that people die Mike Daniels Jun 2014 #38

Foreshadow? Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #39

nah, don't spoil that one for him NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #40

Martin's infamous line? TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #43

I think it's a reference to a rumored source of Lannister gold Mike Daniels Jun 2014 #95

Oh shit! Iggo Jun 2014 #42

oh, Oberyn is just the first of many TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #45

Some excellent fan art of the duel NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #35

I see why HBO adds the nudity... ellisonz Jun 2014 #51

Sansa is becoming a BAMF, all she lacked was a red lightsaber LittleBlue Jun 2014 #53

well, the feathers, I think NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #61

Oh, dear. Baitball Blogger Jun 2014 #63

Cried for five minute straight. bravenak Jun 2014 #55

I actually didn't like him much in the books TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #57

Me too. bravenak Jun 2014 #58

It's strange since he really didn't have many scenes TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #62

Put some grey in his hair, have him grow a salt & pepper beard NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #65

apparently they're doing some casting calls for next season TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #72

Interesting NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #74

well, Oberyn NewJeffCT Jun 2014 #83

Closing your eyes was a good plan. cemaphonic Jun 2014 #77
