The clues were flying all over the place in this episode. That discussion between Sansa and Peyter on Lyanna and Raegar pretty much ended all doubt for me, along with the fact that the Red Priestess wants to screw Jon and make shadow babies. She knows he has royal blood. That makes Dany Jon's aunt. I wonder if they will get married in incestuous Targaryen tradition? Doesn't really seem like there is time for that, if the show is ending at season 7.

I'm interested in seeing Theon's reaction to Sansa. Theon kind of seemed less Reek tonight. I also thought it was interesting that the servant lady said " The North remembers" to Sansa. That tells me she has allies among the common people, so maybe that will help her down the line.

Probably, but I still think Carl is right. What an idiot. Isn't this man a doctor? I ask myself how it's possible to make it through medical school and still be so backward? I take comfort in knowing he won't be elected.

This is so gross, but they buried the real issue, which is that poor people are being forced to take their money out on $25 increments and pay a fee each time, after the first. Some of these politicians are just mean spirited, not to mention wasting tax payer resources in an attempt to punish the poor. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/04/kansas-welfare_n_7001116.html?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000592

Half a million dollars was raised for that freaking pizza shop!! WTAF?? Seriously, what is wrong with people? There are people dying of cancer who can't afford treatment and they donate money to this? It's just beyond disgusting.

Exactly, but isn't where all this nonsense eventually leads? What if it offends one religion to serve another? Where does it end? What if some religions are offended by serving women? This way lies madness as far as I can see.

That was almost funny. Who orders pizza for a wedding reception? But really it isn't funny because this kind of law is just creating ugliness and chaos. I'd like to believe that only a few fools care so little about profit that they are going to turn people away, but there are so many idiots out there. Are we headed for a country where people turn away anyone who's lifestyle or religion they disagree with? Are we going to have to call a business up to check if they serve "our kind" (whatever kind that may be) before we go?

I hope these laws backfire.

I agree that's why she kept telling him not to talk when they were making cookies. She tried to be hard with him, but she eventually failed. We saw the way she let him hide behind her last night. Marceline: I don't want to see him get off that easily. He needs to die the kind of gruesome death that poor undeserving Noah suffered. Totally agree with everyone who is thrilled to see Lenny James back. I loved him on Jericho.

I think there are people who really do believe that government should stay out of our personal/social lives, but you can't get elected that way. So you end up with conservatives posing as libertarians.

You mean like 5 episodes in the spring and 5 in the fall or do you mean a spin off like TWD is doing? I'm basically rolling with the punches on all of this. I'm a little sorry that the show will "spoil" the books, but whatever. It doesn't really matter to me at this point. I did think that Martin had a deal with HBO to do his Dunk and Egg novellas as a series (set in the same world), but I don't know if anything came of that.

I think they would do better to do different stories in the same world. Otherwise casting is almost certain to fall apart going forward. It seems like British actors in particular like to try different things.

I don't know. So many people seem to vote their pocketbooks over their social conscience. Gay marriage is one issue, what if they agreed with the Republicans on everything except that one thing? I'm strongly pro choice, but what if your neighbors well and truly believe that an embryo is a baby? Then voting for the Republicans might have to do with that and nothing to do with gay marriage or their empathy for you. I have a friend (really more of a close social acquaintance) who is definitely for gay marriage. He has a gay son. However, he is really never going to vote for a democrat. Not sure I've ever met anyone who more strongly believes that we are all rugged individualists making our way in this world and that taxes are "stealing" from our neighbor to give money to someone else. He's not an idiot either, which is how I normally comfort myself when I have to deal with someone like this.

Sure doesn't seem like it, since this is his 4th term in office.

Looks like Bibi is trying to back track on this two state solution admission. LMAO! Too late. http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/.premium-1.647930

Right. I don't actually believe that any politician who knows anything about the Middle East believes a two state solution is truly possible. I'm a cynic on this front because I don't believe any US leader has believed in that possibility either. Well, maybe Jimmy Carter did. When you are dealing with religious extremists there is no hope. However, to just come out and tell the truth! My God, what was the man thinking!? I'm not being sarcastic either, the two state solution has always been a lie agreed upon (to plagiarize David Milch) and Bibi broke that agreement. Now things are going to be even more chaotic until he's ousted.

I think some of the things he said today are really unfortunate, but I'm also glad the left isn't taking over in Israel. Israel is in such a different position than we are here.

No, kidding! The horse scene bothered me. Too predictable. I would have liked to see the group win one of these for once. The second I saw that horse I said to myself, "deader than Sophia".

She scared the hell out of me with that little talk. Carol does not play.

Holy F*ck, Carol!!

OMG, yes! I remember that too. We'd go through Jersey to visit my family in NYC and that would happen.

I'm really interested in this new book coming out on kids in poverty. Here's an interview with the author, Robert Putnam. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/03/06/the-terrible-loneliness-of-growing-up-poor-in-robert-putnams-america/

And to continually think that the rules don't apply to them. After everything that's happened in the past, you'd think a lesson would have been learned about that, but nope.

That's not the result of bad choices he's made though. We're in the age of the tea party right now.

I disagree with you there. I love Bill Clinton. However, that incident was an example of terrible judgement. He didn't just mess with a white house intern, he did it in the oval office. All of that is flat out wrong and very different from just having meaningless sex with a woman who didn't (indirectly) work for him in a random hotel room. Gennifer Flowers, I could tolerate. The Lewinsky thing told me that BC either felt that the rules didn't apply to him or that he was so out of control he didn't care about the consequences of his actions. And while I am pro Hillary up to a point, I've enjoyed no drama Obama. It's been nice not to wake up to a new scandal every day.
