That's a disturbing analogy.

I read a description of Willly's mental breakdown some years ago and that is the image that comes to mind when I found myself unable to complete a task.

Best episode of the series so far. 

To be honest, I never cared much for Robb, Catelyn or the Starks (though I liked Ned), so I don't mourn their passing as much as most people do. 

Though of course, the Freys need to be exterminated.

SO, we buckled and are letting the 13 year watch the show, with me running the remote. Fast forwarded over the Daenyrs rape scene.

He agreed that he saw more naked women even so in that hour than he has seen in his entire life. Considering he is a 13 year old boy with access to the internet, I don't believe him.

I've started re-watching all the episodes with the audio commentary on. It varies between really damn interesting, and mildly amusing.

Me and Habs have talked a bit about doing a card driven MP games ala Here I Stand but based on the Game of Thrones. I think that would simply amazing, if well done.

Talk to him about rape.

Yes. Tell him it's only acceptable if the woman is asking for it.

D&D said with regards to Talisa (as opposed to Jeyne) that when they materially change a character they just change the name. Reasoning that they will not be raping the books if they instead of taking an existing character and changing it they will remove an existing character and replacing it with a new one. This sort of explains why Jeyne Westernling isn't in the books and Talisa Maegi is.

Now, what does this mean for Yara Greyjoy (as opposed to Asha Greyjoy)? The putative reason for changing the name was to avoid confusion with Spearwife Osha.

Are they doing away with Victarion? or Euron? or Aeron (yes, I know we've already seen him)? Talisa was invented for the womb-stabbing and to end any confusion about Robb's heir. They are not exactly issues that bookreaders thought needed dealing with beforehand.

TBH, Asha doesn't have an ongoing activity from now til we are caught up. When she does appear she does so intermittantly but does really cool shit each time.
