That's a huge fail for Rolling Stone. I don't care who you have lined up for the cover, it should be a healthy scratch for MCA.

Well, off with her head then, I guess.

Thought last night's episode was brilliant. Liked how all the to kill or not to kill decisions played out so far. Also, would not want to be the person who stole Khaleesi's dragons.

I like the combination, which is why I like the show. The story telling, acting, grit and action all coming together. Take away any one of those things and it's less epic. As I said, I don't dislike the occassional episode that needs to be missing story or action in order to further the plot. Not every episode can have that perfect balance because the story is too involved for that. Oh, and Tyrion is the shit.

Don't know for sure, but it seemed like an in the moment clusterfuck where they just had to slip out the back door. No time to go wandering around looking for people to go with you. As far as set up episodes go, it was decent. When you're doing a long translation of a story like this, there are going to be segments where you need to advance a lot of story with not much action.

This isn't true. For their size, they actually have a slightly longer than average expectancy of 12-15 years. Compare that to labs which is 10-12. Huskies are very healthy and have no inclinations towards any injuries or diseases. They are also a shit ton of work. Mine just turned 5 and I'd say is still 20% puppy. Each year that's gone down (ie, last year she was 30% puppy). And if you don't plan on getting them a ton of excersise, don't get one.

I get that it's following the book, but the last episode of the season was weak. Having the final episode of the season be all small cliff hanger stuff for the next season doesn't work for me. It seems a cheap way to get people to come back. Well, except I guess for the final scene with the dragons, that was decent. The 2nd to last episode would have been how you ended a season in a cliff hanger, though. Ned being beheaded was a complete game changer (pun intended). It would have put a punctuation mark on the season and set up everything for the next season. Instead, we got to start to see the game change, with the one son becoming king of the north, the bastard son staying with the Night's Watch, the oldest daughter starting to plot killing the boy king, while the head of that family starts to try to control the situation, the youngest daughter connecting with the blacksmith's apprentice who I'm assuming is Robert's son and maybe his true Heir, etc.
