GRRM did another chapter reading from Winds of Winter. Don't click the link unless you want to read a summary.

Spoiler:

Euron Greyjoy really is a saddist on Ramsey Snow's level. He used to rape and abuse his youngest brother, who he now has imprisoned and tortures, plus he admits to killing three of his other brothers including Theon's dad. He also wants to marry his niece.

This whole season seems to be in a holding pattern. It's like they are using the whole season to set up the next season.
I WANT MORE ACTION!

Pretty disappointing that there was no bloodbath of the Sparrow guys after this buildup...At least I expected some rioting for not seeing Natalie Dormer walking around the streets nekkid...

The only thing I'm wondering is if the High Sparrow impressed King Tommen with his religious teachings or basically made him into his puppet because he knows Tommen is not Robert's son, but that of the "unholy alliance" of the Lannisters.

Yes, most of the viewers were quite disappointed.

[Ming]

I wouldn't have minded the lack of action if they had only let her make the walk of shame

[Lorizael]

Maybe Loras will do a walk of shame?

[rah]

I'll skip that.

I am pretty sure the new queen is faking her religious conversion. She is very calculating and plotting, she saw her brother when he said he was broken, she saw Tommen seemed under the high sparrow's influence so she did a bit of plotting and decided a sudden religipus conversation helped her out most. She is faking the whole thing. I would bet money on it.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

She's a great character. I'm betting on her to finish strongly.

If there's ever a quote that kills someone, that'd be it.

[Elok]

I assume that translates to something about glorious American boobies.

Nahhh... I think it said "I'm spam, please delete this and ban me"

[Elok]

Vietnamese is a tonal language highly dependent on context. And that was a big post. It might have said both at once.

To the best of my knowledge, not a single American boob has appeared on GoT.

[Lorizael]

To the best of my knowledge, not a single American boob has appeared on GoT.

What about this boob?

[Elok]

I understand boobs generally come in pairs, so a single one would be most unusual anyhow. Except for that mono-boob gown Daenerys wore at one point in the books. As it happens, I've never seen the show, so I wouldn't know. I gather they use mostly Brit actors so the "this is a fantasy work, so everybody has to sound British" thing will be more authentic?
