I think with Myranda it's more a compatibility thing than manipulation, she's just as batshit crazy as Ramsay is.

I could swear I saw an interview where he said he almost refused to film it because he found it so disturbing.

Yeah, the Sand Snakes were comically bad in that fight. Leaving aside the laughably poor fight choreography, how bad were their fight trainers? The fight staff turned Maisie Wiliams into a pretty convincing left-handed fencer (she's naturally a rightie) in between her having to perform in a pretty good number of…

Diana Rigg - Her presence alone makes every scene she's in 900% better.

Not that I can recall

Yeah, both the Sand Snakes and Jaime had really bad "plans" tonight. And calling them plans is being really generous. "Amorphous idea" is probably a more accurate description.

In all fairness, he does know how to do that one thing.

Hey, we didn't actually see them get gruesomely murdered. They could have been gruesomely castrated instead.

Benjen Stark is an autistic child and he's imagining the whole story in the snow globe he stares into for hours on end.

One where the mutton is nice and lean?

I really hope Kerry Ingram, the actress who plays Shireen, doesn't have to leave the show early:
