It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

But, yes, Stargate can **** the **** off.
Mostly the crap villains, I think. And none of the new planets were ever very interesting/thought out.

Spoiler:A suitable death scene, and none to soon. My wife hated the character and the related story arc so much she had stopped watching. She has now agreed to re-join me.

Just caught the last episode online.
1.) the character of Shae is irreparably ruined
2.) I am curious if the will bother with the Jeane Poole charade now, probably not. That has implications later.
3.) Stannis is long overdue for a certain relocation and this bothers me as other parts of that plot are moving way ahead.
4.) The wedding and the related events were handles well.
5.) Tywin is laughing and smiling too much.
6.) Jamie should NOT be at the wedding, him not being there is the real reason for the Cerci schism.
7.) that opening scene was brutal, it was handled really well. A hundred pages of Ramsey summed up in a few minutes."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights. Seriously.

I thought the last episode was very well done. They got all the important stuff in there even while cutting out all the extraneous stuff. Sadly, it makes things a bit more obvious without all the extra details to distract us but they truly did strike a happy medium.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

The entertainment industry was today warning fans of the popular HBO series Game Of Thrones to avoid ‘at all costs’ a series of books by a rogue enthusiast named George R.R. Martin, who has written five whole volumes consisting solely of spoilers for the popular television show.
“This man is dangerous and wants to ruin everyone’s enjoyment of a much-loved fantasy drama.” said executive producer D. B. Weiss. “It’s a sad symptom of today’s ‘binge’ culture that people can’t just wait and enjoy things as they are released. They want everything at once.”
“I cannot stress quite how irresponsible it is for someone to write out the whole series, add more detail, go back in time and then publish it for innocent people to purchase and read thus spoiling the series for them. Who does this Martin guy think he is?”
Some of the books in question, which add up to a total of some 4,200 pages, contain so many spoilers that they have had to be split into volumes. HBO executives are investigating how Martin is able to work on new editions set far in advance of the current TV series.
TV fan Simon Rix told us he “picked up a copy of one of the books thinking it was a companion piece or a spin-off from the TV show, but after reading all of them in one week, I had the whole show ruined for me in intricate detail. There were characters I’d never heard of, plot lines that went way off course, and not nearly as much nudity.”
“It’s hugely upsetting to think that there are people who are reading these so called books who don’t even know that they are entirely plagiarised from the TV series,” continued Mr Rix. ”Those poor bastards will never know how hot Daenerys really is from some bull**** wordy description.”I wasn't born with enough middle fingers.

I am a casual viewer of GoT and am not sure who did the deed. I haven't read the books, don't re-watch the shows, and don't go looking for answers on the Interwebs when I've missed something. I see 3 viable candidates: Joffrey's wife, her mother, and Tyrion's child bride. (Sorry, I've long since tired of trying to track every character's name.)
If I had to choose, I would go with the wife's mother as planner, with the wife as delivery system.
But Tyrion's wife (Ned Stark's daughter) growing the stones to personally avenge her daddy's death would be awesome. Hoping that's the answer.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011
