I liked that way that the funeral vows echo the wording of the promise Tyrion and Shae make to one another. It adds even more depth to our understanding of their commitment. What they have is as close to marriage as they can get while having to hide their relationship. While they may not have consecrated the…

I didn't get any hint that he was going for honor here. If anything he's forsaking a bit of his honor in exchange for love, and he's happy to make this move. No one knows for sure they slept together, though the whispers seem to be all through the camp, so he doesn't need to worry about either one of their honor, nor…

Last season a farmer mistook Ned Stark for Robert Baratheon because Ned was sitting on the throne. It's easy to forget that this is an era without camera phones in every pocket and 24 hour news networks needing filler. Faces aren't that familiar to the common fold. Ros might have a job with richer trappings than…

I thought it was likely Bolton's men who burned Winterfell. Although they are supposedly loyal Northmen, it's no guarantee that they wouldn't want to sack a city that had been held by their enemy. 500 men don't march to conquer a city and then not loot it afterward. I had thought that the burning of Winterfell was…

I truly love the song. I think a lot of people see it as Whedon trying to be super deep and comment on the nature of the show, but I see it as him being entirely earnest in his affection for these characters and the life that they want to live.

I believe that you can hear the Hound slam the door shut as he leaves, which definitely makes it seem like she's staying.

Just arming the dwarf with an axe was brilliant enough for me. The fact that he got some work done with it is just a bonus.

The reaction shots on the wall were a fantastic inclusion. Showing Joffrey smiling as those men burned is definitely reminiscent of what we know of the Mad King. Tyrion's shame and horror at the carnage, which he knows is the only way he and and his family can surive, calls back to his exchange with Theon Greyjoyin…

The laptop was probably a factor, though I would say that watching it in HD on my television it was still dark enough to be an occasional issue for me.
