This thread is now an A Dance With Dragons Spoiler thread.

I'm trying to read the books while playing catchup with all seven episodes this week. 

[Disco Pickle]

Snagged from the Idaho abortion thread to not derail.

Except Cain, who could bite your heart in half.  Hearts are very tough.  You couldn't do this.  No.

It's true.  All muscle and....blood.  Anyone who watched the last episode of A Game Of Thrones knows just how difficult eating a whole raw heart can be, too.

Oh come on, she took that thing down like a champ, and it was a damn horse heart.  Probably could have used some hot sauce or something though.

that was a pretty brutal scene actually.  

While I was watching that scene, a bunch of us were just quiet in the room and I said, "Man, this is so hot."

I'd heard that episode 7 wasn't that good, and while I agree that it wasn't as good as the previous one, it was still pretty damn awesome.  My only real problem was when Drogo went on his pro-wrestling rant.  I'm going to have to catch these much after they air now, if at all, because I'll be out of town.  It sucks because they're getting really good now.

ETA:  The latest episode had the most graphic sex scene I have ever seen in anything.  Even a lot of porn.

I thought his rant was pretty appropriate considering someone had just tried to kill his queen, his blood was up, and if he's going to tell 40,000 warriors he's taking them across water they consider poison, he should probably show them he's passionate about doing it, get them worked into a war frenzy.

and that sex scene with Petyr and his whores WAS porn as far as I'm concerned.

Man SO much still has to  happen, and the second to last episode just so happens to also be a birthday episode.

Waiting for next season is going to be torture.

Wait until you find out the horrible truth, DP.

Martin never finished the series, and never fucking will.

[Eater of Clowns]

Brutal?  That was sexy as Hell.


Mrs LMNO and I had to turn the DVR off for a while so we could address some... circumstances... that "arose" after seeing that.

Good, I thought it was just me.

Wait until you find out the horrible truth, DP.

Martin never finished the series, and never fucking will.

At this point, he's probably forgotten how he meant to end the damn thing.

DAMN YOU AND YOUR POISONOUS SEEDS OF DOUBT!

oh, I still thought it was hot.  In a "watching a tiger take down a kill" sort of way.

Can't get the girl to watch it with me though, so didn't get to take a pickle break.

You're sick.

See, I thought it was hot in a "watching a beautiful woman eat a raw horse's heart" sort of way.

There's no doubt, here.  Look at the copyright dates on his books, and then notice that he started another series with another author.

Soooo..   was that a horse they had body double for Hodor?

HODONG!

Varys took a few episodes to grow on me but I'm thinking now he was cast pretty perfectly. 

That episode just didn't seem long enough for me.

[Cain]

Varys is pretty good, both in terms of casting and as an actual character.

And that episode was kinda transitional, yeah, even with the walking dead getting some screen time.  Though we know now the next two are pretty much going to be all killer and no filler, to fit in the rest of the book. 

[Cain]

Also, Syrio Forel's fight was kickass.  I'd been waiting for that moment since he first appeared.  It was one of my favourite parts of the first book as well.

Also also, I'm 99% sure I know who the two figures Arya overheard talking in the castle tunnels in a previous episode were.  It's not been revealed in the books so far, but if I'm right, it means one well known character is such a Magnificent Bastard he even played Littlefinger to make him dance to his tune.

[LMNO]

I immediately assumed it was Varys -- I mean, "There are places in the Red Keep only known by ghosts and Spiders" and all that...
