Yep, the season finale was definitely a Game of Thrones Father's Day episode.

Now I can't help but wonder if they timed it that way or if it's just a neat coincidence.
 
The Internet Eats Its Way Through Westeros

Sariann and Chelsea over at Inn at the Crossroads have a simple mission statement:

In the coming months, we will be delving deep into the world of Westeros and far over the Narrow Sea to explore the mouthwatering cuisines favored by the fantastic cultures in the books. Where appropriate, some recipes will be two-fold: A modern recipe, and a traditional recipe more in keeping with the quasi-medieval world of the series.
 
Meanwhile USA is poised to attack:

T
aking note of the unrest and the ongoing civil war for the Iron Throne in Westeros, United States of America has decided to intervene and establish peaceful democracy in the region. Although bloodshed and violence has been going on for ages in Westeros, US decided to intervene after Tyrion Lannister, who is currently at large after killing his father, informed Barack Obama about presence of huge oil reserve beneath King’s Landing and in other parts of the continent.

However, White House has flatly rejected any suggestion that US move was linked to the presence of any oil reserves. US reiterated that they were acting out of their concern for the well-being of the people of Westeros.
“Westeros is turning into a worse mess than even Iraq and Afghanistan. Lawlessness is on rise, everybody is killing somebody, and with so many autocratic lords, the whole continent is becoming a living hell. So it’s the duty of United States to interfere and ensure safety of locals, no matter how far the continent is,” US President Barack Obama said while making a formal announcement of his plan.
However, some experts think that US may not find any oil in Westeros like they couldn’t find any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. According to some full-time conspiracy theorists active on the US soil, US if being manipulated by Tyrion, who is working on his master plan to destroy Seven Kingdoms.

“As of now, Tyrion is powerless and a fugitive. Taking help of US is the only way by which he can ensure his safe return to King’s Landing. I guess he has is trying to lure US and passing them wrong information,” a close aide of Tyrion confirmed to Faking News.
According to latest reports, US has already started working on a strategy to attack Westeros. Sources say that they are eying an alliance with White Walkers, who live beyond the wall. US army is planning to use White Walkers’ knowledge of local terrain to cross the wilderness of Beyond the Wall.
They insist that this alliance is totally in line with their aim to promote and establish a democracy in the region.
“We will start from north side of the continent and will gradually move southward towards King’s Landing. Our first target will be Night’s Watch’s headquarters – The Castle Black,” William Alfred, a senior official of US government explained the road-map to peace and democracy.
“But we know that it will be tough to convince US as we have no trade relations with them and we don’t deal in dollars,” feared Cersei Lannister, daughter of deceased Tywin Lannister, “So, we are preparing for war. And to handle US drones at Castle Black, Daenerys has agreed to send her dragons to join members of Night’s Watch.”

This would be the actual reason for military intervention to get Westeros under the auspices of the IMF not oil.
 
Just watching through this show now on iTunes. Am I the only one who wept openly at the Red Wedding and felt absolutely no shame about it?

Well, that sucks. Apple apparently decided not to put up season four because stupid. Anyone know where it's available - with the addendum that I am, of course, only talking about where it's being offered legally and detailed and specific instructions about how to get it in any other manner will not be read and followed.

it's available nowhere, because cable.
the show can not be legally purchased in any capacity for almost a full year after a season ends.

I am in no way supporting the proposed solution (cough) but the Oatmeal has struggled with this same situation and used it as artistic inspiration.
