Winter is coming

This, of course, is the Stark family motto not a weather report.  The weather report, as everybody east of the Mississippi knows, says that winter is here.  The good news is that it will be behind us soon enough.

What is coming is the next season of Game of Thrones. I am enjoying the little bits and pieces of bread the producers toss on the path so we, pathetic creatures that we are, follow where we are told.  Case in point this deleted scene between Bronn (one of my favorite characters, so I'm sure somebody will kill him soon enough, just to fuck with me) and Shae (also one of my favorite characters; already dead).
