I thought it was a great episode. Love the Littlefinger-Sansa storyline. I also like how the Bran storyline evolved, even though it was a bit different than the book. I'll admit, I was a bit surprised that the character sent by Bolton to the Wall to find Bran was offed by the Bran-Hodor combo. Totally not in the books, but well done!

Robey is the man. Something tells me Henderson will do some lobbying on behalf of the corner blitz. Don't give up on it just yet.

Oh he knows music, he just doesn't know good music. But yeah, happy birthday, and stuff.

I know, I couldn't get them to appear...

The rape scene was definitely not like in the books, but the situation in the TV show was also different. In the books, Jamie had just returned to King's Landing after being away for so long, so he wasn't there for Joffrey's death. They saw each other for the first time while in the sept, and lustily went after each other. In the TV show, Jamie had already been back in King's Landing for perhaps weeks, was present for Joffrey's death (and was supposed to be protecting him), and he and Cersei had already been quarreling. So the sex scene in the sept took place under very different circumstances, and as such at least it makes some sense that Cersei did not consent (at first). Not that I agree with creating that scene, but that at least might explain it. As for Margaery's grandmother, it was the same as in the books -- although in the books, grams doesn't come straight out and admit it like in the TV show. In the books, it was still Littlefinger who orchestrated it all, along with the grams, by using Sansa and Ser Dontos to get the poison where it needed to be during the wedding. Coldhands. Yeah, that's basically the only person Bran et al met once they got outside the Wall, until they find the Three-Eyed Crow. But like someone else posted, I guess this is a way to introduce some drama into that storyline and to drag it out longer so they don't catch up as fast. Man, that would suck if the TV show catches up and surpasses the books...

That's hardly the same thing here. Ownership of an NBA franchise, which comes with its own bylaws and rules, is very different than just owning any other piece of property.

Selling the franchise and making hundreds of millions of dollars from it is hardly "stripping".

Seriously? He has all the freedom in the world to say whatever the hell he wants. That doesn't mean it can't come without consequence. What you say matters. There's no constitutional right to say whatever you want without taking responsibility for it. On a side note, we should seriously start a "Bring the Clips Back to Buffalo" movement.

Finally watched the episode last night. Yeah, they're veering way off in the events at and beyond the Wall. I don't remember any direwolves getting caught by anyone north of the wall, and Bran and his group never came across anyone besides Coldhands and the Three-Eyed Crow once they got past the wall (except for some Others, of course). And nothing was described about what happened to the Craster boys other than stories...

Well, at least we know you're not prone to hyperbole or anything.

Damn, that was one convincing article.

Hell of a first game to attend! The atmosphere at that game was beyond electric.

LOL. I'm on board with this.

Well, that's a relief.

http://espn.go.com/n...r-says-play-nfl On playing in the NFL at age 52: On Donald Trump owning the Bills: On a possible future with the Bills: I don't even know what those words mean. Good stuff, Herschel.

Man, that's the truth. What a weekend that was.

People always seem to overestimate the trade value of their own team's players. At this point in his career, with his history of antics and injuries, we'd be lucky to get a 5th for him. Maybe, maybe, a 4th. But I doubt that. Even considering trading our #9 + Stevie to move up is foolish. It would take our #9, Stevie, and considerably more. But we're not trading him anyway.

Brother-in-law has seasons, so I'm totally there for this one. Can't wait!!

I agree...I don't know if it was ever definitively stated in the books that she was pregnant. But I also think GRRM didn't have much of a plan for her character and thus probably was okay with letting her get killed on the show.

You know it's a good thread when Tossy shows up...

^Yep.

You never know. It could be something readily treatable and not terribly aggressive, like prostate cancer, or some types of skin cancer. Who knows, we'll see. But yeah, what a !@#$ing offseason.

Ugh. Not a fan, plus I agree with WEO -- would just smack of trying to make some money at a time when we should be honoring the man. Not only that, but why would we want to wear black at the home opener, when it would likely be hot and sunny? (Ignoring any talk of a home night opener, that is.)

I know it's not a concept that is terribly helpful in a discussion like this, but a draftee's talent isn't always enough to overcome a poor team, poor coaching, or just poor circumstances. Just because Haloti Ngata turned out to be All-Pro with the Ravens, or Russell Wilson lit the world on fire with the Seahawks, doesn't mean they would have been equally awesome on the Bills.
