On a different note, did other people know that the actor playing Theon, Alfie Allen, is the younger brother of Britpop singer Lily Allen? And that she once wrote a song about her little brother, and that he was a giant lazy raging pot head slacker who hid in his room all day getting stoned, playing video games, and whacking off?

And that there's a video with a little puppet Alfie? [link]

I knew about the song, but hadn't seen the video. The little puppet Alfie is adorable!

I didn't know about the video either but I knew about the song and that he was her little brother and that they are the kids of the guy who played the Sheriff of Nottingham in the Robin Hood series that starred Jonas Armstrong as Robin and aired about 7 years ago.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Also - is this our Victor?

Yes. He works at that paper.

Cool.

GRRM talks about the Black Dinner and the Massacre at Glencoe as inspiration for the Red Wedding and this blog post from the Independent talks about another Medieval blood feast.

Dangerous times to have a supper party.

Because I'm sure you're all desperate to know, House o' Reason has now only two episodes behind. We watched the episode with Tyrion & Sansa's weddings, poor things. Joffrey's threat to Sansa made me twitch, and Pete and I were yelling at the screen for Tyrion & Sansa to at least pile some chairs in front of the door, FFS!

Also, the not-quite-hopeful look on my poor baby Tickybox's Arya's face when The Hound told her he was taking her to her mom and brother. Ouch.

I believe you are only one episode behind. That last episode you watched was Second Sons, which is episode 8. Last night was episode 9. They skipped a week because of the Liberace movie.
