So far everything about the northern storyline has been fantastic this year. I'm including Bran in that too. The rest is struggling to live up to it. Until this episode, I've felt the Arya scene's were getting dull. This was a good one.
I noticed that there are 4 people on Arya's list although one name wasn't mentioned, just insinuated. It didn't flow as well as last weeks episode, but it would be hard to match last week in terms of flowing beautifully. A lot of scenes were set up scenes, which is the unfortunate nature of the show. I enjoyed ToJ. Dany was not good, Tyrion only worked when Varys turned up. Kings Landing was a mixed bag. Pycelle farting was an inspired choice. My favourite Kings Landing moment. I wont complain about Sam and Gilly as it was a necessary scene. At least little Sam is more believable age wise. That kid could be about 2. He looked a little older than my nephew who is 2 in July. I'm going to need a re-watch, I've got a feeling I've missed loads. Waif? Yup, that's my take. |

As do I. Anyone who can call Roose Bolton a cunt in front of Ramsay and basically tell him to go fuck himself when making an alliance is a good character in my books. Oh he was well-done. Well-acted and a good villain. I just want him dead, which is the whole point.  Oh he's gonna die! I just like that they didn't make him a caricature, hand rubbing, mustache twirling villain. |

Is r/fuckolly still a thing? They must be happy.  I thought his face looked really punchable with his stupid scowl. Useless character. Should have just been Thorne and his men. |

I guess Jon is definitely not a warg. And all hopes and dreams of Rickon showing up on the back of a giant Shaggy Dog are dead.  Maybe in the books, not on the show though. RIP Shaggydog. You suffered enough by being given such a stupid name. At least you are at peace now. |

The High Sparrow and Tommen .... yawn. Meh? It was a decent scene, what did you expect from an old man and a nervous child king having a conversation? |

When he glared at Jon from the gallows instead of looking sad or sorry or even scared, I hated him so much I could barely stand it. But man, those hanging shots were pretty damned gratuitous. I was a little surprised to see so much of it. |

So are we allowed to proclaim Jon a red herring and false AA now that Mel came right out and proclaimed him as such? Because I've being hearing for years that Maester Aemon (in book fucking 4) outright saying it's Dany means it can't possibly be her because it was too early of a reveal.

I don't know the dude's name on that podcast, but he said that it was one of the worst episodes of the show and he feared for its future. Immediate unsubscribe. |

Did Pycelle shart himself btw? That'd be in keeping with bookPycelle.

I'd say the fact she realises she saw him in the flames is a bigger certainty than Aemon, but honestly it could be either. I still wanna know just why, of all people, she thought it was Stannis? I mean, he has nothing to do with either of them. I hope they explain it. |
