Also, I think of all the minor non-spoilery details from the books I miss the most is Lord Mormont's talking raven. Whether they thought it would play too comic, or if it was just budgetary reasons, I can respect why the producers decided to leave it out, but I still miss that bird.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
sumi, I'm pretty sure the second part of your note on the first title won't happen until 4.4, as that episode's title is the sword's name.
Sean, snow!

Art Crawl!!!
Well, yes. But then am I forgetting a sword ?

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

sumi, there is a storm of swords to choose from!
I have forgotten what book anything happens in, and probably what order things happen in, and probably a lot of things that happen. I think I'm okay with that, for now.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
sumi,
Ice (Ned's sword) was melted down and reforged into two Lannister swords. Joffrey got one (Widow's Wail), and Jaime got the other. He, lacking his sword hand, gives it (and a super-spiffy suit of armor and a horse) to Brienne and names it Oathkeeper (after her). So, same sword, different moment. Tyrion doesn't get a valyrian steel blade because his father is an utter asshole to him at every opportunity.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Anyone else supremely disappointed by Silicon Valley? I had such high hopes for it, and...meh. The only character I can remember less than an hour after watching it is the redheaded secretary, because I went to college with her. (And hey, good for Jill! Her hair looks great in this show!)
But instead of this being the good version of Betas, it's just the expensive looking version with no female lead. It's Mike Judge so I'll give it some time to find its feet, but man, what a let-down.
