A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

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.

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

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!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Um, I might be rereading the entire series in preparation for July 12th. Since it's weeks and weeks between episodes. SIGH
