Unlikely to be the same set. They must have dismantled the old Sterling-Cooper sets at the end of season 3. It's unlikely they would have it still sitting around after, what, 5 years?

The late Ms. Blankenship is by far the best background gag on the show, but my second favourite is Peggy's head slowly rising up above the partition between her and Don's offices when Don's secretary yells at him in season 4's 'The Rejected'.

If only Pete's mistress had been there instead of his ex-wife.

He'd look great in that silly hat all the Freys wear on the show. At least it would cover the bald spot …

It goes so nicely with how dismissively everyone else treats her. I loved Peggy telling her to "stay out of this" last week when Meredith tried acting like a protective secretary. This week, the partners shoved her out of the room.

That was the first thing I thought when I saw that image at the top of the review. I hadn't even seen the episode as yet, and I still guessed that we'd be getting a moment that called back to that one. (The episode title, 'Time & Life' was a clue as well.) The scene at the end of 'The Phantom' was the five partners…

They did that on the show, not in the books. Which once again highlights the difference between the two.

According to a certain brand of fans, everybody is a secret Targ, up to and including Hodor.

So are you now the Queen Mother or the Dowager Queen? And soon to be Queen Grandmother!

Ollie doesn't need to do anything 'for the Watch' as Bowen Marsh and co. did. But he hates the Wildlings (completely justifiably), so if he thinks that Jon is becoming too friendly with them, he might feel betrayed and stick a dagger into Jon's ribs.

Of course, that's going to be cut. Frankly, I'll be surprised if Maester Aemon gets more than one scene more on the show (his death scene).

It's not early. Jon becomes Lord Commander at the end of ASOS, doesn't appear in AFFC at all (except a couple of scenes in Sam's POV, which are repeated in ADWD), and then executes Janos Slynt in his second chapter of ADWD. If anything, this was right on schedule, considering the delay in the Lord Commander storyline.

His treatment of Cersei was certainly inhumane in the books. I think Cersei is a sociopath, but even she didn't deserve to be stripped naked and forced to walk the streets.

She may be safer in the North in general, but she's not safer right within her enemies' castle. That's pretty much the definition of 'not safe at all'.

Littlefinger isn't a master of spies. (That would be Varys.) If anything, Littlefinger on the show has been mostly all bark and very little bite. Case in point: last season, after killing Lysa, he had literally no plan on how to explain it the rest of the lords of the Vale. If Sansa hadn't stepped up, he would have…

The Sparrows led by Lancel certainly seemed like fanatics in this episode, but the High Sparrow was anything but a fanatic - if anything, he came off as much more intelligent and humane than in the books.

Well, they did yell at each other for a whole 10 seconds or so. Conflict!

But we already knew that, considering that she married her rapist.

Pushing 70? Sally would be 61 in 2015.

Joan's kid was born just before the beginning of season 5, because I remember her visiting the office while she was on maternity leave in the season 5 premiere. That was 1966 in-universe. So the kid is certainly supposed to be 4 years old. And as far as I can tell, they've used the same actor since season 6 at least,…
