Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)
A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.
A few quick ground rules:

The Lyssa/Sansa and Arya/Hound scenes were fantastic. The whole Vale arc is one of my favorite parts in the book and the scene were Lyssa is squeezing her hands and going batshit hit those same tones perfectly. It just gets increasingly creepy and ****ed up it's awesome.

The things he did SHOCKED me. Do you think, I'm easily shocked? He did things that shocked me.
Possibly the shortest passage that could ever get me to have some sympathy for Cersei. What looks for all the world as cold disdain, is a cauldron of love and revulsion. And FINALLY a display of the entrance to The Eyrie. One of my favorite parts of the early books.

Of course, from a siege engineer's point of view, that low cliff and tiny gate wouldn't stop any self-respecting medieval army, but I went with it.

Right, because buying the series on DVD or Bluray isn't paying for it. Hopefully people who are "stealing" the show as it airs live, which BTW the producers have made statements that seem to encourage, are buying the season after it airs.

Shit, Littlefinger had Jon Arryn killed? He started all of this shit? That ****ing guy. I still wish Ned choked him out in front of his brothel early in S1.

Yup. And had Lyssa send the letter to her sister, Catelyn, that she suspected the Lannisters, which set House Lannister and House Stark against each other (not that they were ever particularly chummy, but still...)

Can someone explain to me why Bran was able to take control of Hodor but not one of his captors to try to free them?
