All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors. Oscar Wilde.

voice, my man. If you're gonna go with old timey movie stars, Sophia Loren >>> Liz Taylor. Heck, give me Ann-Margret! Not that Liz Taylor was not a woman of some loveliness, mind you. But I can't accept this!

I'm with you 100% on Ann Margret. I mean, damn.
But there's only one "violet" eyed starlet.

Whelp--all my speculation is naught--Willa and Sarra both showed up this episode.
Willa "seduced" Tormund.
Sarra tried and failed with the Hound.
And my ill-advised dreams of Ashara are dead.

GRRM could have finished his last two books, according to Iain McElhinney (Barrisant Selmy). And then, made a deal with D&D to not published them before the end of the 8th season.

There's a scene in Moby Dick where one of the mates of the Pequod (Stubb, I think) boards a French ship to chat, as passing whalers do. He strikes up a conversation with the only English-speaking crew member, who enlists his help in a scheme. Stubb acts like a concerned fellow-traveler here to offer needed advice, and the Frenchman "interprets" everything to be in line with his own arguments. So Stubb says things like "I diddled your wife," and the Frenchman says to the captain "the American whaler says we should cut this whale loose, it's not worth anything!" (the backstory here being that the inexperienced French picked up an already-dead whale, and it smells horrible and the crew wants to drop it, but Stubb knows that you can harvest ambergris even if the oil, etc is already gone)
What I'm saying here, is: Who here speaks Russian(?)
