I seem to remember Mrs S mentioned that they were in Brixton (in south London). They have London accents, except Mrs S (who I think was called Siobhán? played by the decidedly Irish Maria Doyle Kennedy). There are several convents within London that would fit for Helena. As for getting to the Ukraine, did they mention

I felt that this episode actually went some way to make Donnie more relatable and likeable, in his reactions and his eventual shutting down the intervention, he came across as finally being sympathetic. In previous episodes he was a bit more of just a fat schlubby indifferent husband, but here it seemed he actually

So glad they didn't. That eye gouge on Hannibal was one of the most gut wrenching things they've done, really visceral and hard to take. I was immediately tensing up at the memory of it when Helena went for his eyes…

I liked how Felix's pants seemed to coordinate with the dazzle camouflage on the ship in the next scene…

Well Robb is heading right to Frey for the wedding. What's to say he isn't heading right into an ambush? We haven't seen the Mountain for a while, and Frey might be suitably pissed to call in the Lannisters…

These things are important in life…

So with Theon it seems like 'the guy whom we've all figured out the identity of' is systematically demolishing all of the vanities he's displayed over the previous two seasons.
The escape and rescue was playing on the notion that Theon was someone that could lead or that men would be loyal enough to rescue.
The riddle

Well, the're stringing him up on an x-frame like the flayed man on the Bolton banner; Roose said he was going to send his bastard to Winterfell; The horn blower that was keeping Theon awake during the seige, Theon's arousal interupted by a horn; The rapey guard during Theon's 'escape' called the guy "you bastard"

I think incest was thought a perversion under the seven gods by the Andals, but then the Targaryens were Valyrians and don't consider themselves subject to the rules of the Seven, so that's ok…

Well, except for the things he does for love…

No, it's really all Rhaegar Targaryen's fault, if he'd just kept it in his pants, then none of this would have happened!

Those CalArts folk do love them some James Baxter.

I really hope that lecture wasn't any indication.

I think it's consistent with the character as his role is portrayed in the films too though. In Manhunter he has that bit where he doesn't wait for tactical, ignores the gun he's holding in his hand and instead jumps through a glass door in slow motion to confront the killer hand to hand…
So it's silly, but

Accepted!

I don't think it was a magic sword, just a flaming one, and considering how the hound cuts right through it, the fire probably didn't do a whole lot of good for the strength of the blade.

I just love the way Charles Dance says 'Sansa'.

Isn't it that he and Tasha and a couple of others are heading off to some as yet unannounced project?

I took that as more of a look to Tyrion, as if to silence whatever she thought he might have said…

I thought they nodded towards them when he was talking to Arya last season… and the Rains of Castamere gets sung a bit too.
