Event 1: sex with Petyr

Event 2: murdered by Petyr

10 years have past between event 1 and 2.
So the events described by Solmyr as "Yes, but IIRC he was delirious from his wound or something and thought it was Cat. And when Lysa told him it was her, he tossed her out the window" took ten years to unfold?  I guess that makes sense in a way, but the sentence certainly doesn't sound like a description of a ten-year story arc!  :lol:

I had been confused about the "threw her out the window" bit myself, not having remembered that.  I should probably have realized that "window" was just a glib way of saying "hatch in the floor."  "He defenestrated her when he discovered he had deflowered her" would have been even more glib.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Game of Thrones. It's serious bidness.

Yes, we know already you get confused every time someone makes a statement that in any way relies on context, uses an association or an analogy, or assumes some form of interpretation skill or knowledge on the part of the reader.

I am just going to quote this for archival purposes, so you cannot delete your post and claim you never made it.

Nothing to see here. Move along :P
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Somewhere on the internet there's a website that caters to a combination of both your faux loves :contract:
My post was inappropriate, I realized when looking at it again, and I deleted it.  Could you edit out my post from your post?

You would be really livid if you saw the things Marty posted about you and deleted.

Siege

I just saw the last episode.
They are really, really, missing the scale of the action.
The sizes of armies and encampments are far off.
