Herald, I'm going to start a discussion about this in the experts comments. Stop by and search for your name if you want more insight into this.

Spoilers for that stuff Ghost finds at the Fist…but does anybody else have the sneaking suspicion that the cleaved horn buried there was actually The Horn of Joramund?

That shit was stone cold, and has been the "bookiest" bit of Arya Stark we've seen so far, I think. The girl ice-grilling Tywin in that scene is definitely the same girl who (FFC SPOILERS) eats the worm from the kindly old man's eye and murders the awol bard from the Night's Watch simply because she feels like it.

I suppose they could just have Rickon "disappear" during the siege of Winterfell, having been separated from Bran and crew. You wouldn't have to do too much extra work to get from that point, to the point Rickon is at in Book 5. It's a change that wouldn't bother me at all, anyway.

She should also be slitting a motherfucker's throat in cold blood at the end of this season to get to the stables and get herself, Gendry and Hot Pie out of Harrenhal.

Ah, good Ser Baramos beat me to the "carry" reference below.

That scene was fist-pumpingly good. She is absolutely killing it as Arya.

Yet another deployment of the clunky "aggressiveness" when the elegant "aggression" exists. Et tu, Ira?

Given the way super hero movies go these days, the ratio is like one writer to every villain. Guaranteed (opening weekend) success!

I didn't think I could love Pam more than I already did, and then we found out in her spare time from the other shit she does in her spare time, she's a champion drift racer. Then I found out that my love had no limits, and it was beautiful…

You're right. I'm mistaken, I could've sworn I recalled Cressen saying her name, but I just rewatched his scenes and nothing.

Poor Lana has to do so much heavy lifting.

Aw, see, I should read the whole section first, *then* drop lines. My bad!

World's gushiest orgasm?

I didn't know she was still in the game. She looked sort of familiar, and then I saw her name in the credits and I was like, "Oh my god! It's that girl from the "I'm gonna die!" movie with that kid! Good for her!".

Big wall of hair, face like a frying pan.

I, uh…well you see, the thing is…

I can't and won't go back and watch the whole episode now, but I'm almost certain it's Maester Cressen who says it, to Davos.

Hehe, soon enough he'll be rooting for the Frey's to take over his spot as "Most Hated" to help take some of the heat off.

Brienne butchering those fucks is some of the most cathartic stuff in the story, though. There aren't many moments like that in the series, it would be a terrible shame to do without them, and short-shrift Brienne as a result. There's no question the showrunners are doing some wholesale hacking and slashing, they just…
