"Mound"

Thanks, I forgot that. That didn't happen in the books, though, did it? I vaguely remember that the Lannisters were cool with Ramsay legitimizing his hold on Winterfell by marrying "Arya Stark."

General treachery?

I heard that Cersei was using private ravens for official Iron Throne business.

Maybe having her inexplicably not tell Jon sets up Littlefinger showing up at the eleventh hour and pulling a double-cross by attacking Jon instead of Ramsay? The problem with that theory is that I assume Jon/Sansa will ultimately win, and it's hard to imagine how they could pick themselves up off the floor after that.

Plan B: Have a giant kick in the gates, then kill everyone inside.

Whoomp! Bear it is.

I'm assuming that except for a few Iron Bank executives, no one in Essos has ever even heard of Littlefinger. Probably exactly how he likes it. No blind dates with Faceless Men for him.

My upvotes are worth ten mainlander upvotes, so it's as if you had 12 upvotes now.

I think that big smear of blood is TV shorthand for "Yep, he's dead."

I'm really hoping Dracula can possess people (maybe with much more effort and legwork than Lucifer?). As a bunch of folks have pointed out, if Sweet really is Dracula rather than just possessed by Dracula, then Dracula spent waaaaay too much time crafting the Sweet persona on the off-chance that Vanessa would stumble…

Justine is like Lily's Renfield. She's not on the payroll to have deep thoughts.

i miss Alysane Mormont from the books.

Each of them is worth ten mainlanders, so it's as if she had 620 good men.

Now that he's got religion, he might be willing to champion the Faith Militant against the toffs.

Never crossed my mind! That's a clever idea, though.

Like most of the characters, she deserves to die. She murdered Joffrey, which is good (though technically illegal), but also framed/let Tyrion take the fall for it, which is bad… and also led indirectly to Oberyn getting killed. If you're going to poison a monarch, you should have the style to cackle insanely and…

I think so. I can't think of anyone else that she holds sway with, but John and Davos don't, except maybe Tyrion, who obviously isn't an option.

A Bolton always flays his pets.
