Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Have you looked at the infographic, Jon?

You guys don't have to not click on my links just because they're from me, you know...I do call out which ones are gross.

Your posts are always link-tastic, but I think I hadn't watched some episodes when you posted that, ita, and didn't want to get spoiled.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The prison cells seem a little useless to me, though. Generally you don't want a prisoner able to commit suicide, but there, if you really want to end, all you have to do is jump.

But if you don't care about preventing suicide they're spectacularly effective, and preventing prisoner's suicides is a pretty modern idea, I think. It's a dungeon, not a jail, a little psychological torture inherent in the setting just makes sense.

How many more eps are there to GoT?

There are 10 and this was #5. Halfway through the season.

I've decided the tit was CGI. That's the only thing that will let my brain rest, even a little.

This site is kind of fun: My Mom Watches Game of Thrones. There's also a nice chart to help you with the different characters (with pictures of the actors).

And wow, I totally did not pick up on the Renly/Loras gayness in the books!
