I didn't catch the Rains of Castamere melody in the horns there at the beginning of the joust on Sunday. That was a nice touch. On Sunday, friends were talking, we were only half watching the commercial, but as soon as Robert Strong appeared on screen, I yelled out "Holy shit that's The Mountain!"
I can only hope that this signals the end of that awful ad campaign. The catchphrase was ridiculous and I can't believe I've heard people unironically use it in the real world. Granted, I'm the kind of beer snob being skewered by the ads, but I'm personally glad Detective Clegane is cleaning the mean streets of Madison Avenue.

@jimb213 I'm a bit late but this is an extended cut of the commercial. I'm 90% certain they didn't play rains of castamere during the sb airing
Been floating around news outlets and social media lately, apparently showrunner David Benioff confirmed in a recent interview the "lore" reason for why Ser Pounce suddenly disappears from GoT TV series(relative to the books) is because Cersei didn't like its name, so she killed it offscreen "so horribly they couldn't show it's death on the air". (the production reality is they simply wanted to get it off the set because it was difficult to work with because surprise it's a fucking cat)
A needlessly cruel explanation for the situation, but that probably would have been the end of it had he not then decided to kick the social media beehive with an off-color joke about the cruelty of the cat's death.
“If you buy the super-extended, super-charged Game Of Thrones box set that comes out, the death of Ser Pounce will be in there, just one whole episode devoted to the death of Ser Pounce.”
(iirc in the books Ser Pounce is still alive as far as anyone knows, but was only ever really mentioned in passing anyway)
I wonder how long it took to film that scene in the bed. Just take after take waiting for the cat to hit its mark and then sit still for a few seconds.

Ser Pounce is the name Tommen gives to the bastard of a black cat that has been there since the Sack of Kings Landing, right? Or is it another cat.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

In the book, Ser Pounce was actually one of three black kittens Margaery gave to Tommen as a gift, compared to the HBO series where Tommen instead already had Ser Pounce and his role was apparently to run interference against Margaery the child predator.

The most important cat is the black bastard of a cat, though. The one named after Balerion.

I cope with the fantastical fantasy that GRRM and Patrick Rothfuss are playing a game of release date chicken with their next books. The loser must shave their beard.
Black lives matter.

I mean Top Cat is right there. The indisputable leader of the gang.
Anyway, bets on whether GRRM will publish Winds of Winter this year? I'm giving it no more than 10 to 1.
if it was likely to be published this year i think we'd have heard rumblings already. finished this year for a 2020 release however...
Both of his publishers (US/UK) have already set up streamlined editing/typesetting/stuff processes so they could publish it just as soon as possible. I think they did similar for Feast and really I don't think it was to the books benefit.

A little bit of black comedy mixed with a tad of self deprecating humor and pop culture.
