Don't forget that they wait in the southern-most part of the continent and then tell the North when Winter arrives.

Is there anyone alive who knows it though?

I imagine now that Jon is leaving he will have a lot more unsupervised time with Sansa

I've been expecting this for a while now. She's always been more of a Tully than a Stark - first to lose her wolf, for example, plus Littlefinger's constant reminders of how much she looks like Cat. She's going to take over some of the Lady Stoneheart plot points, mark my words.

Yes, thank you for clarifying. That is exactly what I meant. The picking is what she does when she feels like property. We've never seen her really in that situation before.

As someone who picks her cuticles, I noticed that adult Rachel in this episode had very neat and clean nails, when she felt in control. It was very clearly something she had quit doing and started again when she had lost control.

I watch on iTunes and they put a preview up at the end. it's like the fan-service dance party in Felix's loft all over again but even weirder because its in a public gallery space and they are all there dancing with people in public as if no one is going to notice they are identical. it's weird and i hope its a dream…

It seemed like they were trying to make a conscious depiction of that being a habit she falls into when she feels out of control of things with regards to Dyad. I don't think we've ever seen her feel so vulnerable before.

That does explain it. (Grease is 100% about sex, though).

Are we though? There's a lot of 70s nostalgia right now - high waists, bell bottoms, corduroy. Kinda like what I remember in the very late 90s and early 00s. And I'd say 05-15, the general aura has been a lot of slim-leg pants, for sure, but that has felt more 60s to me, a la Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face.

WHEW

I'm sorry wait, she ends up with her COUSIN and we are all endorsing this outcome?

Why was grease SO big in the 1990s? We went through a big poodle-skirt phase, everyone had a poodle skirt for Halloween. What was that about?

I'm keeping an eye on Sansa to fulfill some of the LSH plot points. For one, she has Brienne.

I don't think Arya the vengence machine necessarily = Arya killing literally everyone she stumbles on. those guys were not a threat to her and they had not previously done anything to her family, to her knowledge. Being a vengence machine means killing people who have done you wrong.

I think that she is… Jamie says as much, when she says she's queen of the 7 kingdoms and he says "3, at best."

Arya never truly lost her humanity. Remember how she refused to kill Lady Crane?

Which is why Yara is the only person making sense in the preview of next week: We have an army, a fleet and three dragons; why are we not attacking now?

He really was fantastic. It was obviously from the get-go that "he" was Arya, and that is ALL David Bradley's genius.

I was surprised no one thought of giving the castles *temporarily* to loyal families, in which they would toster the underage Umber and Karstark and also manage the very important most northern castles. A job which maybe, you know, shouldn't be left up to children?
