but only if they adhere to the 'superman would kill lois with sex', so that when he blows his load in her mouth, it takes out the back of her skull as well.

I wonder if we're being set up for a bait and switch now. Cersei has so clearly expected a trial by combat, I now think the high sparrow with find some theological exception to a kingsguard champion or a rule against trial by combat in such instances period.

but then he'd have to chase him

hey look, you can avenge your parents all you want, but I draw the line at stabbing me to do it. I take umbrage at that, you've gotta go.

various members of the family have believed themselves immune to fire, and been wrong. she's special because she's special…so magic of recessive genes or some such

I think shows in general and serial shows in particular have enough exposition to catch us up on what we already know. She knows he's leaving. He says things like he can't stay there after what happened. She's of the north and likely knows of the night's watch vows. She knows. She may not understand yet, but she knows.

they ships were a way out, and a way to amphibiously invade or attack them. once they know she's not going to use their ships to leave the continent, it makes sense to hurt her mobility and economy by hurting her ports and fleet.

I would agree that wildling women seem to have a more egalitarian place in their society compared to many women in other westeros contemporary societies. You can put a bow or blade in their hand and fight and hunt along side of them, and you expect them to fight back against unwelcome advances, as opposing to…

it could be as simple as a 'son', not the sun. And that could allude to Jon, if he's Rhaegar's son, Tyrion as the son of a western realm, or just her getting pregnant in westeros, which is west of where she was at the time of the prophecy.

we three eunuchs row row row our boat

or like the old widows of khals, who stink as established by the making water conversation.

it's possible since she did ask for their aide, but it doesn't really explain how they did that when it was occupied first by all the widows, and then by the khals. that would be some mission impossible sneaky shit.

I think it's a logical inference. She mentions Roose at the beginning of the episode, not knowing he's dead. Then sees Ramsey call himself Lord and Warden. or it's a script error.

well, she can't have heirs at the moment. The great thing about prophecy is taking nonliteral things to fit literal visions. We don't know what the sun rising the west means. Could be a great fire started by dragons that burn the horizon. Same with the winds thing, the detail of which I forget off hand.

well, she's not in the seven kingdoms, but point well taken.

the good, the bad and and the wtf:

Show LF can march north because he arranged the marriage with the Boltons, who see him as a friend. As far as they're concerned, he could be marching to help them fight the wildlings.

if by respect the ladies, you mean they enjoy it when they fight back…I guess. I mean, their mating rituals do include late night raids and kidnapping. they just hope they're good enough in bed that the lady doesn't cut off their dick in their sleep afterwards.

And Harrington said in interviews that his character was dead…so maybe it was her, maybe it wasn't given what they've said about her nudity clause. It worked as a scene, so I don't think it matters. I'll leave it to mr. skin or other folks more obsessed with breasts to compare and contrast to confirm it was her… or…

lots of people try to rule, take power to rule, and assume ruling positions, whether they are equipped to rule or not.
