Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, the quick-cuts this week were, in my view, unnecessary, but quick-cutting a rape? Shit's unseemly, man. Frank, I don't know...I've never watched Fringe. Hayden, I'm just saying, they should count their blessings...it could be *so* much worse.

GoT: I like the scene between Theon and Osha but that scene with Littlefinger and Ros and the other prostitute not so much. It seemed out of character for him to say so much about himself to anyone.

Treme: it amuses me that Hidalgo thinks he's on the verge of figuring out NOLA.

GoT: it took a reviewer who identified the animal Tywin was skinning as a pig/boar for me to realize the significance that it was a stag. Duh.

'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"

That didn't look like a stunt stag to me. (OK, SFX stag, but 'stunt stag' is much funnier.)

The Littlefinger scene did seem out of proportion and character. I suspect it's because they want to set up stuff for the coming season as well as make sure his "you shouldn't trust me" doesn't come out of the blue....

Aside from "Winter Is Coming" the theme of tGoT should be "A King In The Hand is Worth Four or Five Elsewhere."

Hee

I need somebody who hasn't read the book to let me know how necessary that exposition was.

Book related speculation here: If Roz=Shae then what does Littlefinger baring his soul to her and her buddy mean ?

I suspect either that my speculation comes to naught or that it bodes ill for that character.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I have not read the book and I thought that whole exposition scene was over the top. I didn't think any of it was necessary.

Because books.

Wait, how does Roz = Shae ?

I read a little bit ahead, and I thought Shae was a camp follower Bronn found for Tyrion on the road . And Roz is in King's Landing now, right? She's the one Littlefinger was talking to.
