getting back to where in the world are the white walkers, the end of season 2 when they are walking past Sam, that is not the Wall in the distance. that is the Fist of the First Men, where all the men of the night's watch were camping. then there was a great big slaughter that was not depicted in the show, and the aftermath was that there are only ~100 men left to guard the entire Wall. after the battle on the Fist, the white walkers have not been seen

what comes first, winter or dragons? both have been on their way for a minute now

you will have to take that up with the great bearded glacier himself.

The Cercei/Jamie scene was weird as eff. I really hope they didn't intend it to be that rape-y but it definitely came out that way. It was somewhat accurate to the books (in the sept, dead Joffrey right there) but in the books it happens right when Jamie gets back to KL and Cersei is all they killed our son, you're back, avenge him, kiss me, no not here, oh, ok. I think they where trying to give that impression but the mixed up timeline made it come off as rape.

It really pissed me off since Jamie's character is becoming likable at this point in both the books and the show. This scene in the books makes you realize Jamie loves her more than she does him and you start to feel a little bad for him too. This portrayal makes you feel a little bad for Cersei even though she's well on her way to psychopath town.

good analysis here joda

"Dumb bitch" and "whore mouth" is pretty extreme language.

I apologize. . .I used that language due to my anger at her accusing Tyrion.  I never should have said those things because they look bad on me and on the board.  It was never my intention to harm this boards glowing reputation.  I put my fate as an up and coming bbs enthusiast in the hands of the powers that be and hope only that they judge me as I deserve.  It is with great regret and a heavy heart that I have offended you Mh.  I hope you can forgive me.

I'm more or less bored AF in a car on my way back to MHK from Denver. It's whatever. There are other ways to articulate your feelings about Cersei. Everything she does is for herself or her children, like most parents I know, but she never considers the impact her decisions might have upon those outside of that circle.

 :thumbs: Thank you for that clarification.  It bothered me that the show took that turn which seemed to sully Jaime a bit.

As someone who hasn't read the books I have entertained the idea she might have poisoned Joff to hold on to control of the throne? It was even more telling that Tyrion completely ruled her out. . .which somehow raises my suspicion of her even more.  I think Lena Headey has done such a good job with her that like Jack Gleeson I despise the character.

We're going to get to see Hafthor playing the mountain here soon and I'm probably going to lose my mind.

I think that he'll do just fine in this role.

there's no way a 7'+ white guy that weighs 400+ lbs should be that adorable
