Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ha! I just watched that elsewhere and thought--wait, didn't I not click on a link on Premium because I was at work? Let me check that out...

I do like the line about Ned Stark being invulnerable because he's the main character because he's on the poster--but why are any deaths still shocking after that? I mean, even though he's Sean Bean.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

There's a line something like "I should know better by now" after that.

But they still make the joke about the next seasons. You can only milk that so far, and that ultra coy fake fakeout was way past the sell by.

I think this is interesting discussion about her character;s nudity in GoT: [link] I wonder why not a merkin? Are we all pretending adult women just show up that way?

Apparently Oona Chaplin says she had no problem doing nude scenes as long as they honour the female form. What does that have to do with the story being told?

I do agree with the general disgruntlement about how much more we see of women than men--subjectively I feel like we even see more topless women than shirtless men, which is kinda ridic.

Sometimes I think that SNL skit may have had something to it: [link]

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

I wish it were a direwolf puppy though! :-)

I was actually whetted for something more sadistic.

Well, and fictional.

I noticed the teeniest thing in the episode where Cersei threatens to kill Maergary. When Maergary says the Castermeres are "gone", Cersei says it's a delicate word for slaughter.

Shortly after that is a scene where Joffrey was giving Sansa away to Tyrion, and his explanation is that her father is "gone". Ick. Own your shit, boy.

I read people saying this past True Blood was a flashback to the good times.

Well, it did seem to be arguing that vampires and people around them have bad wigs, but I'm not sure what was good about it. Is that true? This is what it was like when it was good? That might help me stop, but god help me, I like Lafayette so much and he has NO PLOTLINE OF HIS OWN. Why does he settle for magical negro?

And why haven't humans done this to vampires before? Not only are they empath free, it's clear they'll put their urge to win so high up that they'd destroy their own race with it--much faster than us.

I would like to think enhanced senses and extended life would help me be wiser, but how can you be a powerful member of one community and jump right into what's clearly killer musical chairs? How is everything that Pam (Pam?) told the "therapist" not going to be immediately used to destroy their species? Without the sire bond, would they have enough survival instinct to last this long? Jesus.

The redheaded vamp just now wonders if they're awful. I'm going to assume they are biologically incapable of introspection, and the fairies she killed (again, how do they not wipe one or the other of these species out???? Do we have anything in our true fauna that predators will gorge on them beyon sensibility? Other than himans--with sapience comes the capability for deep stupidity.) are what's letting her have this insight.

Oh, and real sneaky not having Sookie in the promo for next week. I will give them an internet dollar and a slow clap if they play her off the stage.
