Stay the fuck away from this beautiful lady, 2016.

It's funny though how I was expecting to witness some major incest break-up (the way it hapenned in ASoS) in this episode but was shown a table sex instead.

As much as I'm concerned about the whole thing involving Stannis, I'm honestly intrigued, if not a wee bit more, by the perplexing prospect that is Brienne (and likely Pod) crossing paths with Sandor and Arya next week.

Amen.

Well, he originally did it to get back to Cersei, like he said, but then of course, he 'took too long'. So ironically in the end it's for no reason indeed.

"People die.. at their dinner tables, on their beds. They die… squatting over their chamber pots. Everybody dies sooner or later." LOL the foreshadowing is strong with this one.

Talking about the direction of this episode in specific, I agree with Todd, it's fascinating IMO, and beautiful too. It managed to convey a certain level of depth and meanings within the scenes without being ambiguous *coughGravescough* (the Craster's Keep scene though I've to admit was way too much of 'depth' but HBO…

Good phrase, "not wholly good nor wholly bad". It's exactly what Jaime is, IMO. I hate seeing people who are against him make him sounds like an utter piece of shit without a single redeeming quality, and those who defend him make him sounds like some sinless hero in a shining armor. He's done atrocious things but…

IMO, it seems like this whole thing is no longer about people voicing concerns over rape culture or Jaime's arc, etc. It seems to have weighted more in ourselves, unfortunately, being a mass of people who have different opinions and perspectives over this matter and end up coercing each other to view it through each…

Rape, murder, torture, mutilation are all atrocious, one isn't worse or better than the other. There is a difference, however, between creating a fictional scene where people are raped or murdered or tortured or mutilated to consequently set a particular plot in motion, or to develop a certain character, or to somehow…

Nope, and that's exactly my point. That scene, the way it deviates from the book (forget rape/not rape for a second, book-Cersei and show-Cersei did verbally respond differently and thus made the difference), has YET revealed its purpose. It didn't even serve the one you mentioned, as you've pointed out.

I think some people here are missing the point. No one is saying in the first place that this rape in particular is much worse than all the murders, all other rapes and inhumane acts in Game of Thrones and that the latter are somewhat less worse in contrast. They are ALL bad. The problem originally is the fact that…

I've pointed out the moment when Jaime protected Brienne from being raped, have I not? I mean, all of sudden they made Jaime himself committed a rape? That's what I mean by contradiction, a bit different from the kind of contradiction someone would create by being both Hitler and an animal lover, I have to admit.

What's with these people who bring Bran's fall into this whole mess regarding Jaime? I mean, in the contrary, that's exactly the point why putting Jaime in this situation is so, so wrong, beside of course, both the facts that rape is an act that's shouldn't be thoughtlessly paraded around on TV and the rape doesn't…

I kinda do.

I agree with Todd's wife regarding her thoughts about Elizabeth's apparent uneasiness during her time with Brad being the consequence of her commitment and feelings (can't we call it love yet?) *inner shipper seeping through* for Philip now. Though the way I saw it, Elizabeth- being a kickass spy that she is- made use…

Speaking of hot Philip… Strange as it may seem, that scene of his with Paige honestly freaked me out and yet gave me boner at the same time.

A-

LOL. Just like today's episode did obviously, you guys totally made my day.

It's kinda weird how I'm actually suffering from the same problem.. Anyway, can't agree more!
