Not at all Morgan. I am just saying that I enjoy having conversations about my theories of where Game of Thrones will go and the fates of the characters. These sort of conversations are more easily had with people who have read the books, rather than just watching the show.

That was very diplomatic...
I'll say it. Non-book readers are less than. Get on our level, CM. :ohnohedidnt:

A book reader after watching the show is not the same thing as a show watcher after reading the books.
Just sayin'.

Agreed. I read the books when I was overseas and didn't have HBO. I actually just started to watch the show as it was airing last season. It is a very different experience to now, when I have no idea where they're going, even though I know when the story needs to get at for most of the major characters.

Watching episode 3 again. Creepy scene with Tommen and Margaery. He's like, 8 in the books. I wish they hadn't.
I really think in the series Baelish is sowing the seeds of murder in Sansa. I think he wants her to arrange an "accident" for Ramsay. Maybe some disgruntled kitchen wench in Winterfell poisons his wine. (And I poisoned yours... as well... NOOOOOOOOO!) We've kind of gotten a hint at it already with her chambermaid giving her the wink/nod.
They really made Alfie Allen look almost unrecognizable. The casting is just... impeccable. Even Ramsay Bolton I couldn't have imagined any different. He's such a creeper.

She had it comming!
