Because books.

The wolves confused me -- I thought I heard Bran saying they had to release Summer. Were both wolves there? Because we never saw Bran with his, just the one Jon said hello to. (I know it doesn't matter that much, but I love the wolves.)

I like that the show is calling out the iciness of him warning Hodor.

I'm not sure I understand you here -- how is warning Hodor icy? And did he essentially do with Hodor what he can do with his wolf?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Were both wolves there?

Yes. Summer went to go investigate when he heard Ghost, and then fell in the hole.

I'm not sure I understand you here

Yeah, that's because I meant "icky" Stupid touchscreen. Fixing.

And did he essentially do with Hodor what he can do with his wolf?

Yes. "warging" is the term commonly used, which apparently autocorrect is not familiar with. Stupid autocorrect.

Impassable mountains - useful defense against dragons?

I'm betting "no" because flying.

Ah! Autocorrect strikes again.

Some of the scenes are so dark, it's hard for me to see what's going on. (I said the same thing about Hannibal.) Maybe should I adjust the settings on my screen.

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

Is Robin the same kid? If not, I'd have gone younger with that casting.

It is the same kid, and I actually think Robin is the one character where having a slightly too old actor works really well. Creeptastic.

I'm betting "no" because flying.

And if the Targaryens hadn't conquered the Vale once already (with dragons), they wouldn't be part of the Seven Kingdoms.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

apparently Peter has been plotting stuff a lot longer than anyone knew.

I missed what Lysa said Peter had asked her to do. Could someone fill me in?

He had her poison her husband (the Hand of the King that Ned went to investigate), if I understood correctly.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

He had her poison him, AND had her write to Catelyn telling her that she suspected the Lannisters -- if she hadn't written to Catelyn, then Ned wouldn't have had anything to investigate.

Right! The most important part.

It was an interesting revelation, because of what it clears up after all this time, but it was also clunky and awkward -- suddenly Lysa launches into this infodump to Peter, who obviously knows it all already.

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

Yeah, but it's in her character to remind him of all she's done for him, since she's so insecure about his love for her (as, really, she should be, he's not a sincere man after all).

That's true. Either way, she's crazycakes.
