Oh, I forgot it was a crossbow! Duh. Yeah, the dragons should be able to take that out pretty easily.
I may have affected the mood of the episode by turning to my husband during Jon and Dany's second meeting and saying "Those two are totally gonna bone."
Heh. I thought the same, but then it gets kind of incesty. Not that it's really an issue with this show, of course. (And they would be far less incesty than Cersei and Jaime.)

you mean, the "so sorry you were raped, but you looked so pretty in your white dress."
weird. creepy. off.
Targaryens routinely married siblings. Aunt and nephew is practically a distant relation, especially as his mother is entirely outside of the bloodline.

Nice interview with Isaac Hempstead-Wright (Bran) in the NYT: [link]
Yes, thanks for the reminder. I had that sitting in an unread tab. There are so many pieces that need to come together. Soon.

So, I've never watched Got. Is it worth slogging through all the horrible gore to get to the awesome powerful women part that seems to be coming up now? Because honestly, powerful women with Personal Agendas (and dragons) is all I'd be in it for.
I started watching this season, but I had read the books so I had some background. I think it would still be enjoyable with no historical context.
Zen - I got through all the Seasons last summer. I do think it is worth it, having never read any of the books, but the fighting stuff didn't bother me.
