I thought it was more like a tinfoil hat. :-)

I hardly need your encouragement, Willowy (as you may already have noticed!), but if you insist ... E.B. Farnum: August commencement to my administration; standing stymied outside a saloon beside a degenerate titlicker. (degenerate titlicker has found its way into my personal lexicon)

I am trying my best not to quote every fucking thing Deadwood, but The scene right after Doc braces Jane about her drinking, Charlie Utter approaches : Utter: What do they pay you to hold that buildin' up? Jane: Charlie Utter ... of Utter, Charlie & Freight? Utter: Close enough to get you offered a position. Jane: I'm in a position, you eternally meddlin' cocksucker. Utter: Yeah. Leanin' forward, shitfaced drunk.

I was just watching the scene where Trixie returns to Al at 2am after overdosing. She lays the gold nugget on the bedstand (just like she'd laid the gun there previously), and when he grabs her arm and forces her to show him the needle track, she slaps him, continues undressing, and gets into bed Not one word was spoken in that scene, yet Trixie and Al can communicate just as easily with words as without. They truly understand each other at a deep level.

I love Al's bloodstain scrubbing conversation with Jewel (wondering why Trixie hasn't returned as promised): Al: Now what's she doing; is she making a point, no grabbing of the cunt? Is that what she said to you? Jewel: No Al: I mean, she told you, right, that I grabbed her - did she have an attitude about it? Jewel: She didn't have an attitude She just said her pussy hurt. Al: Points made with the snatch grabbing. OK. Fifty other fucking things I should be paying attention to; rosiest prospects of my career, and here I am, on my hands and knees, discussing snippets of information with a fucking gimp. There (throws brush into bucket), now that's how you clean a bloodstain

I've been reading the unspoiled episode threads here and there, and it feels very much like reading the script for an episode of CSI: Westeros. Y'all belong on the ID Channel! :-)

Breaks my fucking heart, every fucking time I hear it. Jane is a truly tragic heroine.

A gentleman, true and through.

Unrequited love is dangerous for the object of that love - and nevermoreso as when said object is distancing herself from the obsessed. Just sayin'. I think that Jorah is starting to feel just a wee bit emasculated, and "mature" men take as kindly to that as their younger, rasher counterparts, but with more deliberate and devious methods of retaliation.

POINTS !!! Whatever replaces "bath salts", I'm sure it will be a hit if it's called "Blue Dragon Glass". Think I'm joking? You wouldn't believe how many people ingested magic mushrooms back in the day because they read some fantasy novel(s). This dragon-rider theory is intriguing, but why is it assumed that Bran would be warging instead of riding one of the dragons? Because he had no trouble riding a horse with Tyrion's adaptive saddle. And why would Dany ally herself & the dragons with the Stark kids, or, if she dies, why would the Stark kids have any power over dragons? Other than convenient magic, that is. Also, there must be one hell of a consequence coming for the Red Wedding, no? Please forgive all the questions - I'm still trying to figure out if I missed anything salient when I FF'd through the Greyjoy Torture Porn on my second watch (and deciding it wasn't worth it to find out on my third watch!).

Maybe you can answer a general question for this newbie: Will there be 3 episode threads now? I still see 2 threads in the GoT forum (Book Spoilers, No Spoilers), and another in the Unsullied forum. What is the difference between the 2 non-spoilery threads? A Woman must know where to go.

Raja - I still remember that pilot, and thinking I'd died & gone to heaven listening to Phil fucking Collins doing the theme music. It took me right back to the good old days when we'd listen to the latest album (on reel-to-reel, of course) on our expensive headphones. For some reason I always associate that song with an endless summer night's drive to nowhere.

Willowy - I spent too many happy hours in the TWoP Deadwood forums. I was, I recall, utterly obsessed with this show (OK, I guess I still am ...). If only I'd ventured farther afield.

E.B. Farnum (as Jane heads upstairs to see Alma): Her gutter mouth, and the widow in an opium stupor. Conversation for the ages.

I admire your restraint, eejm! I can't make marathons last for more than a couple of days. :-)

May all the Gods, Old and New, bless you for safeguarding our Realm. All Hail!

I could watch Carol for days. I think she is beautiful - even on the inside. [/girlcrush]

Doesn't matter how good your tattoo is, it is going to look awful if you live long enough (I've seen a lot of old tattoos). Thanks for that article, Willowy - it was a great read. I'm glad McShane is as bitter as I am. :-)

Must, not. make. vibrator. joke. ... Ughngnggh!

I Whereas, I know from real life that it is impossible to even smother their insufferable coming-down-from-a-meth-binge inarticulate and unending sleep utterances, even when you put some semi serious force behind said pillow. So I am calling bullshit on the Mother Of Dragons' throw-pillow Vs the Comatose Drogo.

I eschew all theories based upon a conspiracy. :D BTW: I would hope you know me well enough by now that the suggestion I could be incommunicado until October is laughable and impossible. :-) (Unless you are Allison DuBois and know how and when I will die, in which case, drag on your e-cigs like a Hoovering bitch, they will never emotionally satisfy you ... like my nicotine does), lol

I can't even - not when there are more than 4 reasons why the world as we know it is already ending (for realz) and my personal philosophy is along the lines of Rust Cole's "the only decent thing mankind can do ..." This show is a lovely diversion from the true horror of the apocalypse that we are facing (hey, I just watched some of my saved VICE episodes, and no amount of wine, pot and The Walking Dead escapist fantasy can distract me from reality during this long hiatus). The best thing about the ZA Apocalypse scenario is that we can blame it on something other than our own personal selfish actions. Government experiment gone wrong, sins of our fathers. eeevil entities - everything except our own dammed actions and decisions. Which, of course, will be the real reason for the end of this world, and we know it. ETA: on a purely scientific note, the theory of zombification does not make sense or follow any biological imperatives or purposes; therefore should such a phenomena manifest, the greatest minds in the world would be very pissed at being eaten before they could apply their logic to the ridiculous. They'd be equally pissed if their DVRs didn't record the season opener in October, and I'm in agreement there.

I watched a PBS show called "Generation Like"; one of the salient points therein was that these Gens are unfamiliar with the connotations of the term "sellout". I do not begrudge "success", I sadly bemoan it. Go in peace. Stephen, for all you've given, with my eternal thanks - but, You, Sir, are not a Gladiator. I say this with love, and as someone who would sell out quicker than you could say "unlimited cat food and vet bills".

Oh noooes. :-(

Dany : "That's it - I'm calling Cesar Millan."
