With Chiyo, I had the sense that she felt somewhat responsible for Mischa's death, and that guilt was keeping her there. I know the show has always used dream logic, but Chiyo like she could be 20 years younger than Hannibal, so I don't know how the ages will work out if she was supposedly there for formative

Did we ever see Will actually taking his prescription to cure his encephalitis? Because his continued visions of such things as horrifying antlered torsos and new hobby of building freaky corpse-moths make me think that maybe he needs to ask his doctor for a second course of antibiotics.

What, no Spoiler Space?

I may have only watched the trailer as a TV spot or internet add, so 30 seconds instead of however long it runs in a theater.

I didn't understand from the trailer that the pterosaurs had escaped. I suppose that if they have the technology to clone dinosaurs, it would be fairly easy to clone sharks, but to clone them, raise them to adulthood, and feed them to dinosaurs would still be an enormous waste of resources. I would like to have

The face vs hands thing, plus Lily not wearing gloves to the party, which I mentioned in another comment, seemed like sloppy writing.
Clare/Caliban is, at any rate, significantly more undead than Lily seems to be. I don't know if he or Lily really need to eat and sleep in the same way as normal people. Lily may just

From the trailer, when the aquatic dinosaur jumps from the tank to eat a pterosaur, Jurassic Park is just burning money. They spend billions of dollars to develop the science to clone, genetically engineer, and maintain dinosaurs, then they feed them to each other for the tourists' amusement. It would be like going

"Um, Stannis, Ramsay slipped in again and murdered the rest of the horses."
"WHAT?!?!"
"Yeah, maybe if you hadn't commanded that the entire army watch your daughter's murder…"

Why is Lavinia so upset by touching John Clare's hand when she already touched his face? Are hands much more undead than faces are?

Lily should have been wearing gloves. If you look, Lily and Vanessa are the only women in the room who aren't. Lily because Dorian wouldn't have noticed her cold hands if she was, Vanessa so we could see blood dripping onto her skin. But in real Victorian London it would have been a big social gaffe.

I assumed that Shireen wouldn't escape the season alive, but like many of you I thought Melisandre and/or Selyse would kill her and Stannis would be too late to do anything about it. It's arguable whether Stannis has loved anything in his life, but Shireen came closest, and yet he didn't seem particularly upset.

Davos will show up with a carved doe and everyone's heart is going to break again.

It could also refer to Selyse and the potential sacrifice of Shireen.

I just posted about this in a different thread - with Stannis' wife dead, and hopefully the Boltons dead, would Stannis try to marry Sansa? Or will he consider the political advantages of marrying Sansa as Brienne rushes in to save her, and Stannis falls hopelessly in love with Brienne?

I agree that Selyse will at least try to sacrifice Shireen, whether or not she is able to before Stannis stops her is another story. It seems pretty clearly influenced by the sacrifice of Iphigenia before the Trojan War, where she was tricked into coming to the place of sacrifice. Shireen dead or alive, I imagine

I guess Kenna could be abducted from her Scandinavian cruise, since she is still married to the king's brother. Maybe that conveniently available foreign king is really an English spy? Walsingham, Elizabeth's spymaster, could be a good love interest for Catherine.

The love scenes showed that in addition to the expressions that Bash's character has mostly been reduced to this season, Murder Face and I Think I Missed Something Face, he also has Sex Face.

Kenna: Met up with a naive Crown Prince at the end of his Erasmus year, planning to become Queen of Ruritania or Wherever. Looking forward to sailing a ship with "75 cabins." I'm no expert on the history of naval development, but I feel either this prince is seriously misinterpreting the word "cabin" or he's a time

The botched attempt at burning Delphine at the stake only served to burn off her dress up to her butt, so now she's running around the forest in a micro-mini. The absurdity of that kind of saved it for me.

How did Conde, who led a traitorous rebellion, make it out alive, when Renaud, who joined said traitorous rebellion under duress and then tried to show that his true loyalty was always with the Valois as soon as he could, was executed?
