I just want you to know, AV Club, that you have ruined Bob Benson for me, cause now whenever I see him "Who Wears Short Shorts" starts playing in my head.

*twinkly music plays, Lucille Bluth rolls her eyes*

I'm starting to worry that they won't actually show her resurrection, and that instead Brianne is going to find her and Thoros is going to give a short speech explaining why she's there, which would completely rob her revival of all it's power.

I think his scenes with Arya last season have made me like him way too much. Oof. His loss is going to be noticeable.

You mean Yara.

Theon: "I was in the pool!"

I really like Alfie in the role, and I think last season he had some of the best moments on the show, but I would be totally alright with him sitting out the season, or at the very least only appearing a handful of times, instead of endless torture. Like, they should have had his first escape, then his recapture, and t…

@avclub-de9240f5c623bf031dcf0fca9770db44:disqus Whaaaaat? Kingsmoot is one of my favorite parts of the books! It's rad, it has fucking dragon horns and shit, we get a little Greyjoy family reunion and learn how such total assholes they all are. It's neat!

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

…how?

I can't wait for their hit single "Fuck The King's Guard, Fuck The City, Fuck The King (I Want You Back)" to play on Radio Disney channels nationwide!

In that case what do you think episode nine will be? Probably Tyrion taking down Tywin, right?

It wasn't as bad as previous weeks. Honestly I think the show should have done a "show less" approach to Theon's torture. Instead of making the Bastard of Bolton terrifying it made him kind of tedious.

Yeah but they can have an equivalent character. It's not like the character of The Tickler made that scene as powerful as it is. Honest reminder: was it still The Tickler who was asking about the gold in season 2? Or was he just introduced as another bad guy at Harrenhal?

More pork sausage for Kunta.

I hope we get some form of The Tickler death in the series. That's one of the best moments in the book by a long shot.

All I could think of when she was getting her troops all ready to head out was, right before leaving port, somebody yelling "Wait, nevermind, we gots a Kingsmoot!" and then everybody just abandoning that plotline.

The Hound: "I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You're going to want to lie low for a while."

I really love what the show is doing with Davos. Maybe it's just the actor, but he brings so much warmth to the role, it's hard not to root for him.

The Hound: "If you're going to do that [stab a man to death], at least tell me first!"
