My immediate response to the map-table sex was OW, POINTY MOUNTAINS IN NEW PLACES! But I guess since she's magic, she doesn't feel pain?
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

'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"
Still less painful than accommodating a man in full armor, or on railroad tracks....

It's a relief map? I didn't notice that. The Lord of Light can cushion her as well as deactivate poison, I suppose.
Nice symbolism, in any case.

Because books.

I don't know, she didn't look too comfortable to me.
The last line of Cersei's? Jesus, she's a bitch.

Renly was even more foolish than I supposed in declaring himself king rather than allying with Stannis considering he's Stannis's heir. I never quite put that together until now.

Because books.
I was almost halfway through the book when the show came back, and half the things we saw last night I hadn't come across yet. The back end of the book must be jam-packed with action, or they're trying to space everything out more equally.

I'm reading 100 pages a week because the book's about a thousand pages and the season is ten episodes. It doesn't line up exactly but enough events correlate to make me feel like the pacing is similar. Which is to say, without really remembering from my previous read (I have very little idea what happens in which book at this point, much less what part of which book, it's just a huge jumble of story in my head) I vote for "jam-packed with action".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is this a good pitch for Sansa (thematically spoilery, I guess, although it doesn't refer to any precise events from the books, really). It's making a case that she's the best character, pretty much--not just in the book, but across a fandom deathmatch.

The showrunners told Martin they were going to move events around, at the very least, to help dissipate spoilers.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I think the things the person says about Sansa are pretty much true, ita.
Sansa still annoys the crap out of me and whenever I see her name atop a chapter, it lets me know it's time to take a break.
