I can understand people being annoyed by the Theon stuff. As it's tedious to constantly be reminded he is getting tortured (which is clearly going somewhere eventually, but is dull to watch.) Though personally I am much more annoyed when we cut to Bran and Frog Boy's adventures (as thats not going anywhere and I hate them all.)
I think GoT seems to mostly work best with unlikely buddy cop scenarios (Tyrion and Bronn, Jamie and Brienne and now presumably The Hound and Arya all off having adventures together... arguing, but deep down, they are the best of pals!)
I would watch a spin off of any of those pairings opening a Private Detective agency.

I do like the repeated breaking out Ygrittes "i'm Jon Snow" voice. Just about gets you through the bad times of Jon Snow scenes.
The bear thing was as hilariously dumb as I always imagined it to be.
Has Charles Dance now laid the smack down on everyone in the capital? Is anybody left? Will new challengers come forth, to have themselves verbally and subtly destroyed, that is the real question the show is putting out there.

She is meant to be quite disturbed, though. She's just sort of vulnerable and trapped and has to accept this crap and the whole gaslighting thing going on. I think it's a pretty great movie, Rosemary is weak as shit, but that is the story.
Also it always reminds me (now) of that Kevin Smith blog where he talks about how him and his wife have a "bang her while she sleeps" deal, that just adds to the nausea and horror of that bit. As anything awful is ten times more awful if you picture Kevin Smith doing it.

I would like it to be Moyes like the press is trumpeting, as it would maintain bitter Scottish consistency and the dude deserves to have a run at a club where hes allowed to buy a player.
Mourinho as the media is also trumpeting would be hilarious, though.

My season is now all about hoping Wigan pull it together (despite messing up today), so Newcastle or Sunderland go down and we have a bit of a local rival contest in the championship apart from Leeds.

I like that Roger has been gaming guys in airport lounges for months just to prove Pete wrong about him not signing people anymore. That is so Roger.

I guess we agree to spoiler tag all (even vague) book stuff, that after an episode airs we will discuss it openly.. but maybe the first person who does that can put up "now discussing x episode" in bold before they do that as sometimes you forget when thats happened if you are on a non-US schedule especially.
As that is the easy solution to these things and spoiler tagging aired stuff discussion just makes it annoying to do that... which is the purpose of the thread (well secondary, after making jokes about Jon Snows stupid face.)
(Why is it so stupid?)

Well, to be fair, every character in the books is awful and badly done. The tv show has been pretty solid in adding depth to most of them so far, I assume they will change Dannys "white angel conquers the third world and teaches them about freedom" arc into something more nuanced.
