Game of Thrones. Episode 8: "The Pointy End"

As I said, the Game of Thrones has truly begun. Arya becomes the first of the female Stark children to draw human blood. By, you know, sticking them with the pointy end.

There's just a tiny problem with the editing.

The title of Most Badass, however, still belongs to Khal Drogo. He managed to kill a man without using any weapons.

And managed to rip the man's tongue out.

HBO described this series as "The Sopranos in Middle-Earth". But I think a more appropriate description would be "The Sopranos in Middle-Earth during a zombie apocalypse".

Seriously. That's a zombie.

And also my new favorite character: Tywin, son of Tytos, of the House Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock, and Warden of the West.

I just might name my son Tywin.

I liked him since last episode where, while skinning a stag, he goaded his son Jaime to say something clever.

Also, I just noticed that the Iron Throne is actually made up of swords. Possibly the swords of the past kings.

Even kings love the sensation of something sharp up your arse.

And finally, the phrase "game of thrones" is not just some metaphor. There really is a board game called "Game of Thrones".

2 to 6 players. Ages 18 and up.
