Game of Thrones begins....

[Martinus]

What was the deal with Sansa watching the ship sail away? I know she was sad because marrying the dwarf doesn't seem like such a great deal compared to Loras, but what was the ship supposed to be?

Littlefinger sailing off to the Vale.

I stopped with True Blood mostly because it got stupid. I liked the first season, and the whole concept of vampires "coming out" as it were. But by season two, they started adding more "monsters" so that within a few seasons it seemed regular, normal people were the minority in that town. So you wondered why there was such a hostility towards vampires anyways. "Oh, it's OK to be a werewolf or a fairy, and I'm  a shape shifter, but god forbid you're a vampire." I don't know, just lost all credibility, in as much as a show about vampires can have.

My wife has read the books, and it seems like pretty much everything in the Monster Manual shows up at one point or another.  I tease her about her 'D&D books'.

Ummmm....isn't Sansa supposed to be with him when that happens?

[The Brain]

That's why she's sad.

It was the escape opportunity that Littlefinger had offered her earlier, since she figured that she'd marry Loras and everything would be alright.

There is a major plot twist to come before that happens.

[Berkut]

Oh yeah, I am getting my timeline fucked up.

I would say it's more WoD.

[Martinus]

Also, isn't it funny that in the episode so filled with torture and murder, probably the most disturbing image was Brienne in that pink dress?

Not only would she not know what that was, but since WoD is using the same monsters as D&D, it's not especially important.

Well, she might know that it exists since I mentioned it when we saw 'Underworld', but I don't think the comparison would be helpful.

And yes - Olenna is becoming my favorite character.  This episode - while less overly dramatic - was one of the most fulfilling.  Amazing how so many things can be made to move without much appearing to do so.  But I won't pick up the books until the fat man is done with them.

Personally, I like how the show writers sometimes seem to talk to the audience through the not-in-the-books scenes.

Ramsay's "If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention." was precious. 

[Berkut]

I thought my wife was going to throw up during the Ramsey/Theon scenes.
