Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

I thought pretty much the same thing, Debet.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Also, was that meant to be Biter? I couldn't tell.

Is there any decent theory for why the princess has to be on the ship other than King's Blood? Because, I think that's where Stannis is gonna part ways with Lady Mel.

For all intents and purposes, I'm going to call that Biter. He was traveling with Rorge.

Well, that makes things...different. I guess they're simplifying timelines all over the place. I will hope and trust that they know what they're doing and don't fuck things up too badly.

I was talking to my brother this afternoon and positing that Nikolaj had been a major impetus behind the decision to give Jaime some facial scars, to give more of a visual difference between Jaime in season 1 and now, especially in shots where you can't see his hand.

I always wonder if whoever made up the, "There are seven doors in a forest," meme, where one of the doors leads to Narnia, and one to Middle Earth, etc, but included Westeros on that list had ever read the books.

From the first time I saw it, all I could think was, "no one ever chooses the Westeros door."

Although Oberyn taking the torch was a little odd.

On rewatch, I think that gesture was not taking the torch away, but using it to make his pledge.

...they do things differently in Dorne.

At least he didn't slice his palm.

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

He did bring the torch with him, I wasn't especially expecting him to leave it.

Dur. Of course he brought the torch in. What was I thinking? Tyrion gets a warm and cozy dungeon? That's me not paying attention...even on rewatch. I guess that says something about how engaging the scene was. I glossed over the details.
