In order to stay hidden while the king's forces are hunting her, Sansa is masquerading as a bard named Boy Jory.

As soon as the thread clicks over to page 2, which happens very quickly, you'll never see the OP again for rest of the week. It doesn't seem to be something worth debating again every week.

I'm trying to think of a compromise not that it's my place to do so... Would putting each house behind a spoiler tag shorten it up while retaining the information or would that just turn the whole post into a big black wall that's as long as ever.
What we have now is the compromise. They kept the OP, got rid of the polls. The polls were annoying to people because they were on every page, so now they're gone. If you don't like the OP, don't go to the first page. Wait until Sunday morning to post when it'll onto the second page.

Like I said earlier, if he had lived, it would've just led to complaints that Tyrion got out of this predicament the exact same way he got out of the last one. Now that road is closed to him and his fate is up in the air.

I'm definitely one of those people who's getting frustrated with the ever-decreasing number of actually heroic characters. Everyone gets the "sometimes evil wins," and "the world is a harsh place" aspects of the story. But the constant repetition of those themes isn't really enriching anything at this point.
drat near everyone I ask who their favorite characters are, whether during Season 1 or now, says some combination of Tyrion, Arya and Danaerys. Sometimes good guys die, but the favorites are still here.

Isn't season 4 adapted from the second half of book 3?
Not entirely, Season 4 is a mixture of books 3 (latter half), 4, and 5, with a tiny bit of future material sprinkled in.

You might want to PM somebody if you're curious to know details about which storylines are currently from which book.

Please explain, for those of us who did not see The Princess Bride.
Oberyn reminds some people of a character in The Princess Bride that has a Spanish accent and says "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die." a lot, and that's the long and short of it. It's nothing, really.

Okay, but I agree with Blazing Ownager that she's laughing at the dark comedy of how her family members keep dying right before she gets there.

Yeah, that's exactly what I got from it. I don't even think Sansa's necessarily talking about sex when she says she knows what Littlefinger wants. Sure, he wants to bone Sansa, but what he needs is an accomplice. Sansa works well given that she's highborn and that she's trusted without reservation by these other Vale lords. She's perfect, really. Hence her new Sith robes dress.
Yeah, I don't think he wants to have sex with Sansa anymore than he wanted to have sex with Cat. He didn't want sex with Cat, he wanted Cat by his side. Now here's a young super-Cat, and I think he wants her by his side.

So what was up with the pardon letter Barristan Selmy got? They said it had Robert's signature, which means it was (or might have been) the original pardon Jorah got back in Season 1. Did he really keep it around so someone can find it? Or did someone forge Robert's signature?
We saw the prelude to that message being sent earlier in the season. Tywin: "Lord Tyrell, bring me my quill and paper!" "Varys, can your little birds make it into Meereen?"

Don't know why Jorah denied it being a forgery, though, even if the information was legit.

Well, remember that the vast majority of the Wildling army is still on the North side of the Wall. The ones South are just a raiding party, that was originally gonna sneak attack Castle Black before Jon foiled that by getting away and going back.

If anything he might push for a reprieve. Anyway for anyone mad about them killing off Obreyn, at least look at the bright side: This was probably the very best role for his career he could ask for. I suspect you're going to see him in more stuff in the near future with how impressive he was. Apparently he's been really restrained and held back on the other shows he's worked on.
Yeah, I hope Pascal does something awesome after this.

If it causes a net increase, I think it would be because major events like Ned's execution and the Red Wedding cause the show to get increasingly talked about resulting in more people checking it out. And if that's greater than the number of people quitting because their favorite character died, it results in viewership going up every season.

What if she took them to her home? Maybe her dad's cool like her.

They can pretend to be her new handmaidens, and Brienne can continue Arya's combat training.
