Yes - what tommyrot said.
Watching this season really points out how difficult it is to know when things happen in relation to others in the books. So many stories were so much farther along in the books than they are on the show.
Danger's my birthright.

So, EW has decided to just flat out spoil a major plot point that didn't happen, so be warned about clicking around to other articles, but they have a great interview with Gwendolyn Christie about the fight. [link]
Apparently, when they shot her fight with Jaime, Nikolai Coster Waldau kept asking her to take 10% off her swings, because she was kind of beating the crap out of him.
But Rory McCann was having none of that, and she and Rory beat the ever loving fuck out of each other for three days in Iceland, in the heat.
I think I'm in love.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
She's my hero.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was yelling "Do not want!" all the way through it
Whereas I was yelling "SHOVE HIM OFF A CLIFF!"
And it worked! I loved that she nailed him in the nuts, and then he kicked her right back in the groin and they showed it hurt. That's my krav experience in a nutshell.
But that was all out no bullshit, and the more women I get to see fight like that, the better my agenda does. I almost cried, I was so proud and happy. Fuck the Hound. Take his money and walk--he was on your list, he will die, no biggie.
Jojen! I'm so sad he knew it was gonna happen the whole time. And feel bad that Hodor needed to be warged again. Just because you're tall doesn't mean you have to play basketball.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now I'm picturing Hodor in school, when his classmates would make fun of him and stick "warg me" signs on his back.

Ha!
"Lysol of the poppy" was my favorite part.

Remember that GoT DVD extra with the kids singing the theme song? This is better: [link]

No.
(And technically kids are still singing the theme--just not only kids)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
So, I quit the Song of Ice and Fire books after the 3rd one (well, I read maybe a quarter of the fourth one but my God, the amount of fucks I do not give about Iron Islands can fill a stadium). My question is, is The Hound really dead? I mean, we don't see him actually die on the show -- it's just assumed. And I think the book is the same, if my memory is correct? I guess the answer should be white-fonted...
