Game of Thrones

[Munson]

Sam's the fat little piggy from the Night's Watch that is currently escorting that daughter of Crastor and her baby around trying to make it back to the Wall. Last time we saw them was the begging of last week I think, when she asked Sam to sing a song for her and the baby.

That's right. Fat little piggy. 

Valar Dohaeris.

Yes, all men must suffer...but we are not me-...wait.

Lol Hodor. 

Buy a wind mill, go green, and get Orell sex.

I thought most of them sucked, but there were one or two that were pretty funny...

HODOR — Rob Gronkowski, Patriots: Could you imagine if Gronkowski had a press conference and just said, "Hodor, Hodor, Hodor" every time someone asked him a question? It would be the greatest YouTube moment in sports. Just a big, lovable galoof is what Hodor is, and you could make a serious argument that's exactly what Gronk is, only with more alcohol. Now if we can just get GOT's writers to work in "Yo Soy Fiesta" as a battle cry.

gronk is pretty close to ending up more like Jamie

Really liked the pacing and focus of that episode in comparison to the last two.  The wedding was awesome.  Sad it's off next week.

Yeah, what is up with no show next week?

After the epsiode I debated with a friend whether Tyrion was embellishing his drunkenness to save Sansa. Although Tyrion has had some nice scenes this season with him debating Tywin, Olenna, Cersie and such, I don't like the scene selection emphasis of brains over Bronn.

Margaery has worked her way through the ranks pretty well with her smiling and taking people by the arm schtick, so it was cool when Cersei told her "if you ever call me sister again I'll have you strangled in your sleep."

Samwell is a dumbass for leaving the obsidian dagger behind.

Liked the surprise scene with Dany in the bath tub and the 2 dudes heads.

Last season Blackwater got crushed ratings wise because it was on Memorial Day, so HBO is skipping it this year to air the Liberace movie.  My guess is they're also fine with the buildup going to episode 9 because the 9th seems to be the climax of each season (with Ned dying season 1 and Blackwater last year). 

I think Tyrion was absolutely drunk but obviously played up being a fool to Joffrey to let Joffrey save face.

That was a really good episode. I'm glad The Hound told Arya how he tried to help Sansa/how he's taking her to the Twins.

Tyrion being drunk at the wedding was awesome. Loved watching him farg with Tywin and tell Joffery off.

I knew that dragon glass was going to come into play after they found it last season. Still a mystery as to who put it there...could have been Benjin?

Naked dany. Did not see that coming with the heads. I thought after we met the "Titan's bastich", he'd be the main antagonist for Dany for the rest of the season...that didn't last very long.

Cersi is a miserable bitch right now. I hope Margery gets her back for that comment.

Also, it was nice to have the Joffery hatred re-affirmed this week. It's been a while since I've really wanted to see him die.

Of course, a season and a half ago I was hoping Robb Stark would be swinging his sword through Joffery's neck, but at this point I can't see the Northern army making it down to Kings Landing. Stannis doing the shtein with the leeches makes me think he'll be the one who eventually gets Joffery

Good point about the ratings, figured there had to be a logical explanation. People who missed Blackwater got screwed though. Just watched it tonight with a friend who got into GOT this season, so each week we watch an old episode before the new one. So it sounds like season 4 will follow the same April to June schedule then? That's longer than the farging NFL off season.

Agree that was a good episode, possibly the best this year for me. My guess is the First Men buried the artifacts, Sam seemed to recognize something on the lid covering it that made him think so, iirc.

I wonder if episode 9 has Robb marching on Casterly Rock as a climax?

If Melisandra/Stannis' leech thing works, that should take care of Joffrey as well as Robb. Feel bad for Gendry, not because of the leeches but because he didn't get to pound the shtein out of Mel.
