She had a gentleman admirer in the books, but just wanted to stay friends. I don't remember whether maybe she hooked up with some other dude and felt very, very slightly guilty about it.

I'm pretty sure that Dean Wormer expelled Qyburn from Maester U. So regular Maester protocols don't apply to him.

Can he even read?

On the other hand, Dany's an emancipator. Maybe she'll straighten the Dothraki out? I really don't have a clue whether she's going to break good or bad, or if GRRM even respects those categories.

Just protecting Olenna, I think. The Sparrow threatened her pretty openly.

She's not in a dungeon, and is now a popular favorite again, and can have some (guarded) interactions with family and friends. It's progress, but I agree that I'm not sure what her next step is. I'm more Tommen than Littlefinger, I guess.

First name "The". Middle name [ ]. Last name "Waif."

Apparently Jack Bender opined that the audience should be "a little horrified" by Dany's Dothraki rally at the end of last week. I don't know whether that's just Hollywood hyperbole, or actually hinting that the show might be running with Dany as antagonist.

Arguably more evil.

That's probably true. Amazing how little I miss Jon Connington and all his sidekicks.

Signing up Arya would really give new meaning to the term "Bloody Mummers."

Maybe Jon should try burning Lady Mormont at the stake?

Pleased to finally get confirmation that Margaery is still a scheming double-crosser! She's clearly smarter than me, since I totally can't see how she's going to work this con. As long as it involves Septa Unella getting the Oberyn treatment, though, I'm okay with it.

The line about how only Bronn can tell the Lannister/Frey army how to lay a siege seemed a little odd. Ironically, Bronn is the brains of the outfit.

Is that from Dany's prophetic visions? If yes, could it be grayscaled Jorah?

Timothy Olyphant would have made a pretty good Jaime, IMO.

Ironically, his character development got poisoned when he went to Dorne.

I guess maybe Wun Wun carries the smack of Wildlingosity with him, even though he's technically a Giant not a Wildling… Northern lord: "They all look the same to me."

More of a eulogy.

"They stole our fastest ships." The ones with jet engines on them.
