Haha, so Joffrey is into torture porn.

I wonder how they could shoot that scene though, isn't Jack Gleeson still underage?

EDIT: Guess not, thought he was younger.

Even if he was underage...he wasn't really involved in anything. I wish I got paid to watch women spanking each other when I was his age....#myjobsucks

Wonder how many takes they had to do because his voice cracked and his palms got so sweaty he dropped the crossbow :P

the law says he can't appear nude on screen, even if adult, while portraying a minor.  Doesn't apply to seeing naked women.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Which is why, incidentally, we didn't get to see Sophie Turner (Sansa) more disrobed in that other scene with Joff, since I'm pretty sure she's still quite young.

was the scene with Joffrey and the prostitutes in the book? I don't recall it.

Yes, it was.  Don't you remember all the Joffrey POV chapters?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Gotta say Tywin is a badass.

Also, Stannis is a grammar nazi.  :lol:

No peach though.  :P



I am having a lot of difficulty understanding Arya's lines when she speaks them. I think it's the combination of the frequency of her voice, accent, that she speaks quickly and abruptly and that she slurs through things. Several times I've had to rewind and listen again, and if I'm not consciously concentrating on her, I nearly always miss it. Last week's episode was especially bad for that.

What the fuck happened to "let's give everyone 24 hours so they can watch the episode, before commenting"? It's airing on Monday nights here.

I mean, I don't really care about spoilers, but I was banned by the fat fuck for doing exactly that.

I generally don't open this thread till I've seen the current episode. Pretty obvious what people will be chatting about when it becomes a near-the-top, topic again.

Also, looks like they did pretty good the creepy/horror front. Not in actually terrifying but very distasteful.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I want to point out that all my speculation was based on last weeks episode.

First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.
