Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Yeah, they talk the same talk, but. . . Varys did try to send them Ned, maybe he's made other less high profile deals that benefit Night's Watch in not so obvious ways?

'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"

I love how they gave Sansa a momentary notion of pushing Joffrey off that bridge.

Without spoiling too much from the later books... it would have saved so much trouble and been kinder, too.

Once again, my rule stands that if you discover you're in a GRRM story, your only sane option is immediate suicide.

Art Crawl!!!

Very true, Theo. But where would the fun for us be?

I'm reading the chat. . . (it's ending now) - people were suggesting that they cut the RED WEDDING

Are they NUTS??

And it's not like it would be in next season anyway.

Also - ridiculous casting suggestion: Saffron Burrows for Melisandre and excellent casting suggestion: Phillip Glennister for Davos.

io9 has a clip of the Robb/Catelyn scene which I made the mistake of watching.

Now I'm crying.

Again.

I do love Catelynn with her "we will get your sisters back and THEN we will kill them all" comforting. When he says he wants to kill them all, he's just lashing out in grief, but she makes it real. Another great scene.

I should add that's the first time I've seen a dragon used as a fig leaf.

Because books.

"we will get your sisters back and THEN we will kill them all"

Best. Ever. I like Cat more and more, although I can't quote forgive her treatment of Jon Snow.

I feel bad for Jon for how Cat treated him, but I can't really blame her for it. He's a living symbol of her husband's infidelity and she's supposed to welcome him into her family? That'd be hard for anyone, and being given no choice in the matter wouldn't help.
