Game of Thrones--more killing ahead, shocking, I know

I hope it has been an enjoyable holiday for my American friends and readers, and a good weekend for everyone else. Nothing to chat about on September 1st in medieval history, so I am falling back on my old standby---Game of Thrones. Hey, we need something to tide us over till the next season starts or GRRM finishes the next book.
