Yeah, I don't think I literally put the book in the freezer at that point, but the thought crossed my mind.

Premium Cable: The Cursing Costs Extra
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
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.
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?
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.
It would be fun to see him in a new Star Trek movie.
Game of Thrones has been nominated in the Best Drama section of the new Critics Choice awards.
