The Best TV Episodes of 2011 (According to me :p)
So even though its a little late, as promised here is the list of the best episodes of tv I watched in 2011.
I tried to only do two episodes per show so not to have 3 shows dominate every thing. I would love to hear your thoughts!

The Point is Honor
Bravery
Lightning cracked to the south as the riders swung down off their horses. For half a heartbeat darkness turned to day. An axe gleamed silvery blue, light shimmered off the mail and plate, and beneath the dark hood of the lead rider Brienne glimpsed an iron snout and rows of steel teeth, snarling.Gendry saw it too. “Him.”
“Not him. His ( Read more... ) -
I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul
Open-Mindedness
“I have made kings and unmade them. Sansa Stark is my last chance for honor.” Jaime smiled thinly. “Besides, kingslayers should band together. Are you ever going to go?”
Her big hand wrapped tight around Oathkeeper. “I will. And I will find the girl and keep her safe. For her lady mother’s sake. And for yours.”

Kindness is a Virtue
Compassion
“Scrub him and dress him and carry him to Kingspyre, if need be,” Qyburn said. “Lord Bolton insists he will sup with him tonight. The time is growing short.”
“Bring me clean garb for him,” Brienne said, “I’ll see that he’s washed and dressed.”
The others were all too glad to give her the task.

Whose got brainpower? Brienne's got brainpower!
Smarts
“Catelyn watched the riders spread out in a long line. Lord Jason’s men waited to receive them behind rocks and grass and hillocks. A trumpet blast sent the horsemen forward at a ponderous walk, splashing down into the current. For a moment they made a brace show, all bright honor and streaming banners, the sun flashing off the points ( Read more... ) -
Oathkeeper
Loyalty
“ The tall girl knelt awkwardly, unsheathed Renly’s longsword, and laid it at her feet. “Then I am yours, my lady. Your liege man, or… whatever you would have me be. I will shield your back and keep your counsel and give my life for yours, if need be. I swear it by the old gods and the new.””

Brienne of Tarth
The main criticism I see levied at Brienne is that she is simply a character with no characteristics or qualities of her own. She is seen as being a plot device for ‘more important characters’. Others complain that she was just thrown into the story to satisfy feminist readers. I think both arguments are terribly unfair and completely overlook ( Read more... ) -
U2 Concert and ADWD Discussion
So the U2 concert was ammaaazing. But I knew it would be, its U2 after all. I went with my sister, it was so much fun, she had never seen them in concert before and I only had once before and we went crazy the whole time they were performing. Their stage is amazing the way it can change colors and do different lights and the screen can extend and ( Read more... ) -
A Dance with Dragons Discussion
IT CAME! IT CAME! :D
Okay, I probably don't have the same right to celebrate getting this book as the people who have been waiting 6 years, but I am still really freaking excited.
I also want to discuss and write down my feelings as I read. I wish I had done this for the other books because my ~initial feelings kind of slip away once I reread and ( Read more... )
