  1. Bummer. Young Ones and Blackadder were among my earliest DVD purchases. He gave me a lot of laughs. RIP
  2. Brienne's actress promised in pre-season interview clips/"making of" trailers that she bites someone's ear off this season. So that has to happen. Pretty stacked -- possibly overloaded -- card for next week: Tyrion, in the bathroom, with the Crossbow (has to be Joffrey's old Phallic Crossbow too) Sandor's "death" and Arya redeeming her Chuck E Assassin token to Braavos Brienne eats an ear Jon/Mance parley Bran gets to The Three Eyed Raven Stannis arrives at The Wall Tyrion's escape from prison (and says goodbye to Jaime) and from KL entirely Reveal that The Mountain was poisoned, Qyburn volunteers to study him Drogon kills a child this time, Dany chains up the dragons Balon finally dies? Lady Stoneheart
  3. Well, she shot his dad, and Jon already went over on Tormund and on Magnar, so this way kid gets his heat back and a blowoff, too.
  4. Supposedly part of his issue with Donaldson was the tag caused him to make a sudden move to try and dodge the tag -- which risked aggravating the knee injury that caused him to miss so much time. Which of course makes him look really bad when he is so reckless and unrepentant about hitting the catcher in the head with his bat and apparently causing an actual injury that forced Norris to leave the game. And Baltimore had already responded to Donaldson's tag later in that same game. Then he tries to throw his bat at Third Base A] When Donaldson is no longer even in the game B] and came close to hitting Angel Hernandez
  5. Trant is such a jabronie he's not even worth the effort of killing off. They'd have to change/recast the "token Kingsguard bozo who isn't Jaime" role and unless they really want to do that for some reason or Balon Swann turns out to actually be relevant enough the show "needs" that role, they're better off keeping Trant for face recognition since this show has so many different characters and recasts as it is. Better the lickspittle the audience knows than the lickspittle they don't.
  6. Roose Bolton, usually just called Lord Bolton if anything by characters in the show, is the guy who looks kinda like Vlad Putin. Roose was Robb's Mailman in Season 2. Also Chief Giver Of "...Seriously?" Looks to Robb whenever he ended strategy sessions early to bang his foreign nurse girlfriend. When Robb learned Theon had turned on him, Roose offered to deploy his bastard son to sort shit out for Robb. In Season 3 he unleashed his henchman bounty hunter Locke to re-acquire Jaime after Catelyn cut him loose under Big Girl's custody. He broke the bad news to Robb about Bran and Rickon being missing presumed dead after Winterfell was burned down "by the Ironborn, as they retreated". He REFUSED to drink alcohol, repeatedly, which made everyone think he was weird and creepy. He trolled Jaime about his sister maybe being dead LOL just kidding Stannis lost your sister is fine. He sent Jaime on his way as an "apology" for Locke "accidentally" cutting his hand off, but he was actually selling Robb out. As we saw more obviously later at the wedding, when Roose let Catelyn see his chainmail and he ultimately got the deathblow and XP for killing Robb. Last scene was a heavy exposition dump with Hogwarts Janitor in which he revealed his bastard son, named Ramsay, actually burned down Winterfell and is in fact the anonymous nutjob who was mutilating Theon all through the season. He offered them Robb's surrender/amnesty terms in exchange for Theon but double crossed them and killed them all (presumably flaying them as well, cuz that's how The Bolton family rolls) and then sent Theon's dad and sister a Dick In A Box. He [Roose] also made mention of marrying one of Hogwarts Janitor's daughters. Since Hogwarts Janitor offered "my daughter's weight in silver" as a dowry, Roose chose the fat one. We saw her, once, for about five seconds this season. He sent Locke to go find/kill Bran and Rickon (fail) and he told Ramsay to be less of a fuckup / capture Moat Cailin, which we just saw Ramsay use Theon/Reek to do. And Now Ramsay Is A Real Boy/Not A Bastard. And the last shot of them was their moving in to Winterfell. He's a bit of an asshole, even by Game Of Thrones standards.
  7. Jon and Sam. Impossible. The Night's Watch is an organization sworn to protect and serve the entire country, not just one part of it, as explicitly stated in their mission statement and the vows Jon and Sam took. Jacques and Pierre, conversely, explicitly abdicated any comparable responsibility in their theme song, wherein they sang "we're NOT the mounties" i.e. they are not policemen, they are not public servants, they are not here to protect you. They're out for themselves. Sam could plausibly steal Pierre's le cannonball Finishing Move though, admittedly. But that's as close as it gets.
  8. Fucking Littlefinger dropping SPOILERS. He really is the most evil man in Westeros.
  9. Except the Lannisters didn't really win and in fact this pretty much played out in the worst possible way for Tywin: Jaime's still in the kingsguard Tyrion's still condemned to die [thus, no way to carry on the family name] his Pet Terrorist Gregor Clegane is broken and bleeding out even in "victory" Oberyn's death puts an end to all his work to bring Dorne back under the tent as an ally (particularly since, oddly enough, Oberyn got Gregor to confess and thus technically Mission Accomplished) Which means he's still stuck depending on only the Tyrells as allies, which means their bargaining position gets stronger (and as we know they're really out for themselves anyway, they did actually kill Joffrey) And there's three potential foreign invasions he has to worry about, one of which just got a shot in the arm care of The Iron Bank because Tywin couldn't/didn't pay them back on time... and that's just the three he knows about... there's also that fourth one The Martells still hold Princess Myrcella The gold mines are still dried up. The trial by combat fucked up the Lannisters as much as The Martells: Cersei's the only one dumb (and sadistic) enough to not realize it. If Oberyn kills Gregor clean then yeah Tywin loses his hatchetman but at least maybe he can spin that as appeasement and asskiss The Martells into helping him out (and Tyrion goes into exile instead of dying). Tywin's plans are fucked to hell. That's a big part of why Tyrion called for this trial by battle in the first place; it was a no-win for Tywin.
  10. And here I was arguing that the Claw Hold was a Stark family finishing move... So much for that.
  11. Well, 2 of the 3 teams have no reason to pursue a new goalie at all and "blame/replace the goalie" already came up a couple years ago on the San Jose Sharks' Cosmic Wheel Of Playoff Excuses so it won't be time for them to press that particular panic button again until about 2016. So I think you'll get what you want.
  12. Gotta admit, I'm impressed with Dubya's "Bring it on!" Challenge Fastball.
  13. Ironically allowing far more runs than his ERA would suggest. 4 over 7IP, i.e. NOT A QUALITY START LOL. Doing his part to put a stake in the heart of both stats. Good for him.
  14. Well, after that tangent this thread certainly can't be called "unsullied" anymore, anyway...
  15. Tywin says he wasn't even wiling to kill Tyrion, for all he resents him. If he wouldn't kill Tyrion, it stands to reason that he wouldn't kill Joffrey (who after all had way more upside and use, being king). Not that Tywin isn't ruthless enough to take full advantage of Joffrey's death and no doubt considers it for the overall best that Joffrey died. The Tyrells, on the other hand, obviously gain a lot from killing Joffrey and have no qualms about doing so since he's NOT their blood relative and they've already shown in the past that one king is as good as another to them. Also Tommen is (as far as anyone can tell) much easier for Margaery to manipulate, and far less likely to shoot her with a crossbow when he's [trying to] reaching sexual climax.
  16. Er, I should've said Hodor's is the most protected version of the Northern Claw, not the most over. He only gets mad enough to bust it out once at year at the super card but when he does IT IS DEATH. Piledriver in Mexico Death.
  17. Nah. Ned's hold is The Northern Claw. Starks = Von Erichs. All the kids use it too, however, the best/most over version of the Nothern Claw actually belongs to Hodor.
  18. "They square off tonight in a King's Landing Death Match, meaning the loser will be bound down and beheaded, IN THE CENTER OF THE RING"
  19. Between that, his squash victory in a 3 on 1 handicap match, and Oberyn's face promo to Tyrion, they hit all the notes on building a Pay Per View bout.
  20. I went alliterative with every Shepard I ever made, even the ones I scrapped after ten minutes: Shawn, Steve, Sam, Sarah, Sven, Siobhan, etc.
  21. spoiler-free clarification: Yep. Oberyn's sister was married to Dany's brother (Crown Prince Rhaegar, the older brother, who died before the events of the show started, not her other brother, who we saw suffer Death By Bling in season 1). Dany was still in utero when Rhaegar died. So yeah, Dany is technically Oberyn's sister-in-law, but they would not ever have met (remember Oberyn said back in episode 1 of this season that he is in the capital for the first time since his sister got married to Rhaegar a long long time ago).
  22. And the Alarm Bells going off, meaning it was about to be (roughly) 5 to 1 the other way with their exit route cut off. Remember when she tried to get Theon to leave Winterfell in Season 2? Same thing again. She can't save him if he won't save himself.
  23. The gallery for Tyrion's trial was a total wrestling crowd too. Loved it when they started booing and hissing him during his speech, especially "I SHOULD'VE LET STANNIS KILL YOU ALL"
  24. I'd probably be more disappointed with Yara vs Ramsay if I hadn't spent enough years watching wrestling to recognize a title match that is going to end on a disqualification so the champ retains but the challenger remains undefeated/strong/etc. from A Mile Away. She can't win, but she can't get captured by Ramsay either. I hope the folks in the other thread recognize it for what it is too. EDIT: Gotta hook 'em for that Reek-On-A-Pole rematch at Clash Of The Champions Kings V
