[S04.E05: First Of His Name 2014.05.04]

Lysa is a special brand of crazy. And now we really know who was behind Jon Arryn's death. Didn't see that coming. 

 

Glad Jon and Ghost were reunited. I felt bad that Bran couldn't reunite with his brother though. I fear the Stark kids are never going to see each other again. 

[S08.E04: Wedding Bells]

Isn't the oldest Bates girl Michaela?  Am I completely off on her name/the spelling?  They clearly labeled her as "Michael" twice though.  I thought it was interesting that after sewing all the bridesmaids' dresses, she wasn't even a bridesmaid herself.  I know there are 9 (?) girls in the family, but you would think that Erin would have at least all of the older Bates girls as bridesmaids.

Michael is her legal name. 

Kelly said the following on their blog:

"As a young Christian, I wanted to give her a Bible name. I read a list of women’s names in the Bible and saw David’s wife (spelled “Michal”). Unfortunately, when she was less than a year old, I read through my Bible for the first time and discovered Michal wasn’t a good role model. We legally could change her name for free if we only slightly changed the spelling while she was under a year old. We changed the spelling to Michael, which means “Who is like the Lord,” which she has certainly tried to live up to!! 

We did start calling her Michaella when she was around 5, because on cards people didn’t realize it was referring to a girl."

Kelly also said Michael is really shy, so she didn't want to be a bridesmaid. I think she was asked, but declined. 

Guess she'll have to get over that if Brandon proposes and she gets married. Or maybe she'll elope. Ha.

I'm sad LJ went home. Mostly because I had him in my Survivor pool. I never manage to win. 

I can't stand Tony or Kass. Either one of them can go next and I wouldn't shed a tear.
