I didn't catch last night's episode of Game of Thrones yet, but sounds like some shit went down. Someone also appears to be missing a hand from the looks of this picture (so spoilers please!). Naturally, the closing credits featured a new tune from the Hold Steady, because....why not? Can't you just see Bronn throwing back a couple pints of mead in one of Kings Landings' many fine brothels as Littlefinger observes in a very sinister, meddling way. Maybe the Hold Steady were the house band for the night? As for the song, titled "The Bear & The Maiden Fair," it's so a Hold Steady song, best served with some of the finest beverages that Westeros has to offer. Looks like Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin penned the lyrics, leaving me slightly hesitant to follow along so that I don't figure out the previous owner of the hand in that bear's mouth, but that does mean Craig Finn will have to leave his frequent Kerouac references on the other side of the wall for this tune.
