Oh yeah. That was shocking. And of course, foreseen by Daenerys.

Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, I don't think I literally put the book in the freezer at that point, but the thought crossed my mind.

From the ew recap of episode 8:
Meanwhile Bran is in his room when all of a sudden some child just wanders into our scene and started talking to him. This is the youngest Stark kid, Rickon, who I noted in my first Thrones recap is "like the Maggie Simpson of the Starks." Suddenly Rickon takes out his pacifier and spouts ominous pessimism about Robb's chances, as if he knows anything. Dude, go back to starring in Tiny Starks or Winterfells whatever TV show you're in and let the grown-ups handle this. We're in Thrones Episode 8, it's too late to pretend you're part of our plot.

'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"
In the books, Rickon's been "off-screen" for at least two (very long) books now. One begins to suspect GRRM has forgotten about him... or more likely, can't think of anything that wouldn't get him in trouble with most readers who are fond of little kids, since the characters whom he does concentrate on seem to go through torments and lose miscellaneous parts of themselves.

That's true. I'm sure he hasn't forgotten him - I wonder if he (and Osha) will show up in ADWD.

Oh! A beautiful line from the EW recap:
Outside, ravens fly in all directions as Robb spams the North with an r-mail blast -- a giant cloud of urgent news that can poop on you.

That was an excellent image.

I can think of some people whom I'd love to send r-mail to, she typed darkly.
It was a very cool image!
Jason Momoa is getting to make up for all the scenes where he's been mostly silent -- who knew he'd do so well with a foreign (made-up!) language?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Not exactly dispelling the Klingon vibe though, is it? (The hotel in Nashville had HBO, so I saw the episode from Saturday night.)

I suspect he's a big enough nerd that he'd love to play one.
