there were more than 80 horses there, either they towed him out or they had to dissect him and take him out in pieces.

I had been wondering for the past couple of seasons as to how Ramsey would meet his end. I knew it had to be harsh and hoped it wouldn't be too swift. The devouring of Ramsey by his own dogs who by the way, were used to murder his stepmother and her newborn baby, was the perfect ending for Ramsey Bolton. I had hoped that they would show one of the monstrous dogs grasping him between his legs right at the crotch and leave it to our imagination that he was indeed castrated in the process of being devoured. That would have been perfect retribution for castrating Theon.

'glot'el' me in then.

She's the Psychologist, right? Maybe she could figure out why.

That's one of the scenes that I've searched for online because it was very uncomfortable to watch. The feeling of suffocation must be one of the worst feelings when dying. But it did make a great point, that Jon Snow wants to survive and live more than anything. But, I did find this snapshot of the mastiff and Ramsey. Gotta love it.

Sansa has been like a pimple since the first season. She's been annoying and well... dumb as dirt. She's the one that wanted to marry a King, even though it was sick puppy Joffrey. It was okay with her that he was cruel to others and even when he chopped off her father's head she was pretty okay with that too since she didn't have the guts to leave on her own. Knowing her aunt got pushed down the moon hole and still doing nothing but put on a pout was way beyond my tolerance of her. Her sad and desperately weepy eyed closeups made me want to slap her around a little. Okay, in my mind only, I'm non-violent. But still....maybe So now that she has developed a little bit of brain matter and shuts her mouth except to speak a few words of sense, I like her a little bit now. As long as she doesn't get carried away with her own self-importance.

Thank you for the above link. I found the professional profile of Elyse Bensusan on the Linkedin website. There's not any photos of her online besides this one and her wedding photos, which only happened in 2010. From her Linkedin professional profile;

I believe we both may be correct. "Many of these victims were hanged or beheaded first, but their bodies were typically incinerated afterwards to protect against postmortem sorcery. Other condemned witches were still alive when they faced the flames, and were left to endure an excruciating death by burning and inhalation of toxic fumes." http://www.history.com/news/ask-history/were-witches-burned-at-the-stake-during-the-salem-witch-trials

I think that the directors were aware that Rickon would be sacrificed and intentionally kept his character repressed. He was never developed as a character for that reason, people would have been angered at the death of the youngest and weakest Stark if we had been given more attachment to his character personally.

It did occur to me as Jon was beating Ramsey and violently plummeting his fists into Ramsey's face that his jaw would be shattered, he'd have no teeth or eye socket left and it would most likely have caused his death. I know that Jon left him alive for Sansa to deal with in her own way, he owed her that much gratification. But really, he wouldn't have survived that intense fist thrashing and still be able to speak. In that respect, I feel that the director just took it a bit too far with the fist beating, but they knew that fans would cheer and want more because Ramsey was such a reviled character.

Exactly! And besides we got a glimpse of those 'old hills' a few episodes ago, the 'hills' are lowlanders now and she's about 280 years old (give or take a few centuries). Davos finding the wooden stag he carved and gave to Shireen is significant in how and who will end the life of Melisandre. Why that wooden figure didn't burn in the pyre is nothing short of miraculous, but good TV. I know from my limited knowledge of the Salem, Mass. witch burnings that a witch can be burned at the stake. I'll throw out a wild guess and project that Melisandre will suffer the same fate that she subjected Shireen to.

In case anyone missed it like I have, as to what exactly is the product that Jules hoped to promote being on the show, it's called 'Modern Alkeme'. Bravo did let her slip the name into an episode a few times but that's about all. It figures that Jules had something to sell, like they all do. Here's the website for Modern Alkeme. I assume it's a play on the word 'alchemy' http://www.modernalkeme.com/

This has nothing to do with the episode last night but I found it interesting. It's a side-by-side comparison from the way the characters in the book are portrayed and the cast in their roles in Game of Thrones. I found that Brienne of Tarth looks a lot like the god Thor. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/2016/04/06/game-of-thrones-how-characters-look-in-the-show-vs-how-they-look/

I had no preconceptions of either Jules or Michael Wainstein, but from the start there seemed to be something askew. I had read before the first episode aired that Jules had dreamed about being one of the cast members. Who does that really, what rich socialite, 'stay at home' mom actually has big dreams of being a cast member on the Real Housewives, particularly when they have obvious issues that they'd prefer to hide like anorexia and a philandering husband? Wasn't Julianne Wainstein almost inviting catastrophe by joining the cast? When I watched the first episode that she and Michael appeared in, I immediately thought, "this woman can't cook, can't make coffee, she's a terrible housekeeper, and needs a nanny even though she doesn't have her own business to run". so what exactly keeps Michael happy in that relationship? Those were my initial thoughts although I liked her and thought she had a young, sweet outlook towards the others, I couldn't help but wonder what kept their relationship moving forward. As it turns out it wasn't moving forward at all and there had possibly been many affairs that they've managed to sweep under the rug for the sake of the children. When sex is made to be the motivator and driving force behind a marriage, it's doomed. No marriage could survive forever based on sex. There has to be other things that bond a couple emotionally. Sex was part of Michael's every day life being a major player in the internet pornography business and I'm sure it was that way behind the closed doors of their apartment. Michael had other sexual opportunities I'm sure and I don't imagine him as being the kind of guy that is able to resist them.

that's it, you win the Snark Comment of the Year award with that one.

Ramsey being devoured by his own dogs was satisfying but it would have been just a tiny bit more satisfying if one of the big dogs did him 'doggie style' as his face was being eaten off it's foundation. We're gonna miss you Ramsey, you old poop. (Katherine Hepburn voice)

I loved this episode and there's a marathon of Penny Dreadful running today, so I watched it again. Contrarily, my husband couldn't get into it. Of course Eva Green was amazing as usual. I especially relished watching Rory Kinnear as John Clare transform from his gentle, kind self, to Lucifer and Dracula. I was surprised to hear that it was her parents that put her in that instution for the mentally insane but also that they had stopped coming to visit her there. I was glad to see a return of Patti LuPone as Dr. Seward. I enjoyed her performance last year as the witch that Vanessa bonds with, then gets burnt up at the end. I recall seeing Patti LuPone as Evita Perrone on Broadway in 1981. This video is her performance at the 1980 Grammy Awards, which she won that year for Evita.

Michael Wainstein made his 'new' money with the start up an internet pornography website owned by a corporation in which he had controlling shares called 'NuWeb'. Michael and other partners of NuWeb had purchased several other web pornography sites to increase their business. Michael Wainstein and his business partners had filed a lawsuit in the State of Delaware in 2003 in which they sought to remove several of the board members in order to gain controlling shares of the company's stock. http://courts.delaware.gov/OPINIONS/download.ASPx?ID=280 http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=31957813 At the same time as the internet pornography website, Michael started a 'legitimate' investment group called Private Capital Group, or PCG for short. The company is a venture capitalist company which means they invest money into emerging companies in exchange for a share or piece of that business. For me it all makes sense that Michael, having been an expert of sorts with pornography had become very familiar with many women along the way. Whether he was ever a faithful husband is doubtful in my mind. Does a man give up that sort of high-flying lifestyle along with the women, drugs and parties that go along with it just to settle down with one woman? I suppose it's entirely possible but I don't find it credible.

If nothing else, the obvious conclusions that we can all draw from the last episode is that Michael was having an extramarital affair, which is a horrible thing for the marriage but a great thing for Jules. She will be able to take him to the cleaners and get alimony in addition to child support. She'll probably have to tighten up her purse strings though and start managing her own household by taking care of her children and cooking for them. In the long run, it won't be easy but Jules will get a life lesson in how to grow up really fast and pull up those big girl pants. She thought it was rough before when Michael left the kids still in school clothes and one with a full diaper? She's only beginning her real journey of how to be a real mother. Jules is about to find out who her real friends are and who her cast mates are, and the differences between the two. I don't think that this stress that Jules is under is anything new for her. I believe that Michael may have been cheating in their marriage for years if not since day one. Coping with anorexia and dealing with the stress of alopecia areata plus the children and his philandering can't be easy for Jules. Maybe now that the 'other shoe' has finally dropped on their marriage and she's committed to ending it and moving forward, she can start to address her other issues.

Right, 'Brit (glottall) ne'. By jove, now you've go'it

In British English, the formal pronunciation of kitten is /ˈkɪt(ə)n/. It rhymes with Britain, and probably does so in American English as well, because, if both are pronounced differently from the British way, I imagine they do so consistently. Some regional accents replace the ‘t’ sound, both in kitten and elsewhere, with a glottal stop. In fact, most speakers will do so in certain phonetic environments. There’s nothing ‘incorrect’ about doing so. Makes sense that people living in NEW ENGLAND would have adopted the same pronunciations as our founders.

According to a Daily Mail article from March 2016, Luann and Tom have booked their wedding date, it's New Year's Eve. Luann's ex-husband Alexandre even offered to give the bride away, but he'll settle for being a guest since her brother will be giving Luann away. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3488228/LuAnn-Lesseps-ex-husband-Alexandre-wanted-away-upcoming-wedding-emerges-guest-ceremony.html For supposedly being great friends with Jules and Michael, Dorinda and John seemed to be pretty clueless about his extramarital philandering, although sleazy John may have been in on Michael's little secrets. I was a little annoyed by Dorinda's condescending attitude towards Jules when they were out to dinner together. It was very obvious that Jules was upset about Michael. "You need to take a deep breath. This too shall pass". That's it Dorinda? Is that the depth of your empathy for Jules distress not to mention just blowing off the stressful fact that Jules showed her the area of alopecia areata on her scalp. Again, no big deal to Dorinda. All she said about the hair loss was "okay, now stop it". And all John could say to Jules is "be nice, be nice". About Jules and Michael....I have thought about this couple a lot because on the surface they have seemed to be okay with each other. Except, Jules can't make coffee, doesn't cook. doesn't really care for her children and hires a nanny for that. So, what was the attraction? Instinct tells me money and sex were the two motivators in their relationship. I can't help but go back to the night they had dinner with Luann, Tom, Dorinda, John and a couple of others. I swear that Jules was wearing a silver 'pearl necklace' by designer Leah Piepgras. I had to look at that scene a half dozen times before I came to that conclusion. No rich wife wear a cheap silver necklace unless it has some personal significance. (According to the jewelry designer's website this Necklace "Is an Accurate Representation of Semen"... meaning male ejaculate). Then Jules mentioned that she doesn't like the word 'moist' and consider that word as horrible for a woman to hear as the word 'grundle' which I had to google. (The most humorous definition comes from the Urban Dictionary. " The prime piece of real estate located conveniently between Scrotumburg and Anusville). Bottom line is that I see a could whose marital life has been built on a foundation of sex, money and who knows what else. I'm sure there was affection and 'love' in the beginning until Michael got bored and started cheating on her with others. Last thing is something others have commented on regarding Adam and Carole. I have to say that I think it's great for Carole to have found a nice young guy to play with. He's not what my personal taste is but for her, fine and go girl. But, his nasty, stringy hair drives me crazy, I'd have the impulse to brush it all the time. His man-bun is so millennial. No self respecting male over the age of 35 would ever wear a man bun. He reminds me of a what would come out of a genetic mix of Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam and the lead singer of Alice in Chains. total grunge look. AND yes, he did put a cake in the oven to bake without removing a 8-muffin baking pan and two (2) sheet pans on the lower rack which would easily interfere with the temperature and baking time of his cake. SO THERE! lol lol lol !

True enough, but there's no way, no how that they should be allowed to filibuster together to choose who will be tossed out of the tribe as far as a trip to Mexico or even an overnight to the Berkshires. These women have a right to be included and just because one of the other women have an issue with her, then too damned bad. Suck it up, do the trip and stay as far out of harms way as possible and if it's not possible to avoid confrontations then it's just going to make Bravo even more money because they'll get more viewers. And about it being 'a job', it most certainly is a job and more than a job it's the opportunity and exposure they're given in addition to their salaries in order to promote their brand of wine, tequila, toaster ovens or line of clothing. That's worth even more than their contracted salaries.
