I know, I know, OMG. There are so many bits I want to get to!

Yeah, Sophie doesn't look quite like the Sansa in my head, but she's doing a great job. I think you can already see the compassion shining through. And Joffrey...honestly, I have no words. The kid is just mind-blowing. His voice! And his actions. The bit when he turns to Sandor to mention the "wailing of women." Amazing.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one with a weak stomach when it came to that knife fight! Ugh! I'm fine with decapitations and limbs being hacked off, but for some reason that just didn't sit well with me at all! And yeah, my mind is not such a graphic place, apparently. And I think everyone was doing it missionary position in my head.No, I'm exactly the same! Nothing has bothered me really. I mean the biggest changes I've noticed have been Cat and Sandor (aside from the Dany/Drogo wedding scene) but I'm fine with them pretty much. I would have preferred Cat to persuade Ned to go with Robert, but, eh, no big deal. As for Sandor, he's so much less terrifying

I couldn't upset you again, my darling one. I hope Jon keeps his nose, somehow I think he will, but that frostbite looked nasty! It made me think, for the first time, how brave Tyrion is to venture to the Wall. I never thought about it before.

Jon's accent is so much nicer than mine, it sounds a little more North Yorkshire, maybe...I can't quite place it. But it's beautiful.

I thought it was just the knife too. Hmm. Because she thinks it's Tyrion, right? Rather than the twins. Ahh well, it certainly made me laugh anyway...and I'm glad you liked the comic. I'm bit of a CSI: Miami fan, so I couldn't resist. XD

Gah.

That Sansa and Sandor bit MADE the episode for me. I love how his voice sounds! He's so quiet and dark and OH SANDOR <3

I loved "He scares me, too"

Sandor making jokes, d'aww...

I know. I know. Honestly, Ned could have dressed as a clown and done the hornpipe and I wouldn't have questioned it. THAT SCEEEENE.

I love his voice too. I didn't think I was going to find Rory attractive at all, but...oh God. I do. And yeah, quiet and dark are the perfect words to sum him up. He's just there, all mysterious and brooding...and making jokes.

"He's just there, all mysterious and brooding...and making jokes."

Greatest sentence ever. Hahahaha. Might be you just made this version of the Hound okay for me. hahaha.
