"Treason is... treason!" Cassie: "Can you die?! Please" 😂
I'm sure all this tension will be resolved soon and we'll have happy days in Westeros.
Watching one of the most wholesome people on the entire internet watch GoT is WILD! 😂
20:20 - *"Mofo"?!* Gosh, the things that *GoT* brings out of people.
Fun fact: Charles Dance really dressed that deer out, and they did this in one take.
I love Barristan Selmy here. Even Littlefinger knew he went too far with the "naked knight" comment. The moment Selmy draws his sword, EVERYONE in the room gasps and stands in horror. Even the Hound in the back knows Selmy wasn't lying when he says he'd cut through the Kingsguard in front of him as easily as a cake. Even the "Here, boy. Melt it down and add it to the others," with an addendum from the book that isn't in the show "it will do you more good than the swords in the hands of these five." Man quit his job and insulted the rest of the Kingsguard before walking out.
@6:00 Catelyn probably didn't truly love Ned's brother (she didn't know him that well, but she was infatuated) -- it was an arranged marriage, which is why when Brandon (Ned's older brother) died, she married Ned instead. She just happened to fall in love with Ned, but love wasn't a factor in why they came together
34:20 When the death scene is so gross that Cassie starts speaking Dothraki.
The luckiest guy on the show is the Stark man who was sent to deliver a message to Stannis right before things kicked off.
Side fact: Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) was really skinning a real deer in the scene where he talked to Nikolai Coster-Waldau (Jaimie Lannister) at the army camp.
