I thought pilot guy was playing both women. I didn't believe a word he said.

For me the first season was gritty prison drama. Every season after that was pure soap. But I loved them all...except for the very last episode. Yuck.

I don't think there's a mystery either I was just wondering if I had missed their explanation.

I've been wondering how they know Tyrion killed Tywin? I know they do but what makes them so obviously sure. Did I miss an explanation? Is it just because he was murdered the night Tyrion escaped?

This is the last time Ned and Cat see each other.

Polyhymnia-you are so right about Cat. During this reread all I kept thinking is this is all her fault. She was making decisions on the fly and unfortunately, in hindsight, they were bad ones.

Jon leaving never occurred to me at this point. I really fell for the wall being his best chance at having a fulfilling life. I think if he had went to a banner man he would just be Ned's bastard and he didn't want that. I don't think the label has gone away like he wanted or hoped though.

Sansa is probably my favorite character (mainly due to the show though) so I hope your prediction comes true! Honestly in the books I have no favorites. I pretty much dislike all the main characters on all sides or feel neutral about them.

Totally it can be seen that way. Just for some reason I didn't come to that conclusion. I was just wondering if I missed it stated outright. Of course it doesn't have to be and I'm fine with everyone else's interpretation. I'm horrible at finding deeper meaning and reading between the lines. And that's why I'm enjoying this reread and having other people's opinions to reflect on.

I'm ahead of the reread so the Dany chapter is not fresh in my mind but where does it say the Dothraki women don't consent? I probably just skimmed it but all I got out of it was that their ways were different. As I write this I'm remembering a discription of one guy grabbing a woman and then the other guy wanted her so they fought and then then winner went to the woman and finished. That must be what everyone is referring to right? Dany's age is what bothered me greatly. And I thought it was ridiculous how she suddenly wanted him after some foreplay (I hesitate to call it that) and was like yes. That made me roll my eyes.

My what if is Ned turning down becoming Roberts Hand. His fate might have changed if he refused but really I doubt it.

I just got back from American Sniper also and I thought it was fantastic. I feel Bradley's nomination is deserved and I've never liked him. I've never cared for any Clint Eastwood directed films either but this one was excellent. I don't care that the book is inaccurate, it's a good movie. Well worth seeing.

I was surprised by Dawn on the cello. But I really liked it. This show is so good. I wondered if the doctor delivering the news about Dawn and Patty's non- baby always delivers news in that manner. She was pretty cold but I guess that could be because they are healthcare professionals. Another fantastic episode.

This show is just fantastic. I am moved to both tears and laughter when watching. The acting, writing, and directing are phenomenal. This episode with the alcoholic patient really hit home for me as my family struggles with this and we've lost family members who can't or refuse to stop drinking. They all go down fighting from that last drink. So real.

In the comics the people they were with in the grocry store raped his wife and daughter so he killed them. I don't think he did it alone in the comic though. But it caused his family to leave and they ended up dead.

Did I read correctly that ESPN will be showing this?

This episode is classic just for Carrie telling the cab driver that they were "talking about up the butt here". I literally laugh out loud every time I watch that scene.

I liked the talking to the screen. I think it helped highlight the observation of behavior that Carrie's columns seemed to be about rather than thirty minutes in the life of Carrie that the show turned into. I like how normal her clothes seemed! In fact Carrie seemed like an average woman and much more relatable in this episode. I really enjoyed it. Also I found Big more attractive physically but the character still did nothing for me. There's nothing appealing about him to me. He's just there for Carrie to obsess over.

Oh. I thought Lester mentioned his brother being in prison in his acceptance speech? So we do know his fate? But yes he could have accepted a plea or something.

I've been thinking about this since the episode aired. I get that the police were dumb but the jury bought this story too? Chazz didn't have a good enough defense attorney to create reasonable doubt? I honestly think even a public defender could have poked holes in this story. It's these little things that cause me to be a little frustrated with the show. At the same time I'm fascinated. I will watch to the end because I think it's really good and interesting but I won't watch a second season if there is one.

She was kind of high maintenance? That's the only reason I can think of for people to believe Dwayne deserved better. But personally I liked her just fine.
