Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Game of Thrones!

I'm reading up all kind of fan speculation about how certain characters in the book will have their storylines given to already established characters to streamline the narrative. Will be curious to get book readers takes on these.

Even though these are speculation, I'll spoilerfont:

1. Ariane Martell from the books, her storyline will go to Ellaria Sand in the show.

2. Young Griff from the books, his storyline will instead be taken up by Gendry.

3. The Kindly Man will instead be played by Jaqen.

These all make sense to me as they have to prune away a lot of new characters and narrative sprawl.

Number 3 makes sense, but I don't see how number 2 would work.

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

S5 isn't showing up in HBOGo. Not happy!

The fight scene at the end of episode two was possibly the best I've ever seen. The pace, the pain, the use of props. Wow!

That was pretty terrific. It reminded me, in a way, of that long tracking shot in True Detective that everyone was talking about. Not technically, I assume, but in effect.

Jon Snow is righteous. I suspect there will be fallout, but he did the right thing there.

Given that they are diverging further from the books (which I haven't read) is it wrong of me to hope for a Tyrion/Dany future? 'Cause that would be awesome. With dragons.

I'm wondering where Petyr and Sansa are going.
