I still think it will be Davos. He used to be a smugler and Rickon is a non entity.

But I think she already had more scenes than Hinds so… that's something, I guess.

We'll read about it one day. Or read it, still not understand it's Jaqen without Wikipedia, still not understand anything about the Citadel, and decide the cut from the show was probably wise.

The Hound is alive, damnit, it's a miracle!

Speaking of which, I can't wait for the next beheading.

And it was in one scene. In the dark. From behind.

I'm betting on Davos replacing Mance but, yeah, he is dead.

It's a theory I read, but never understood.
When reading the book, I took the revelation as "Connington is secretly dying". Nothing more. And certainly not as the potential for an outbreak.

We just need two comment sections.

Why did you have to say it was not a spoiler? NOW it's a spoiler!

And you don't feel this one was better in every way?

And that's why last week's terrible episode was not an A. If everything is an A, then how can you differentiate outstanding episodes such as this one?

Yes, and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the flashbacks. (I wish I could say the same of Fisk's ones in the previous episode but…)

Balon will never die and sit on the Iron (IRON) Throne by the show's end.

Yes, I'm going to miss his magic arm THE MOST.

My best guess is they reduced the role, from the beginning, once they cast Hinds.

That's also how I read it. Sansa is also a possibility, but it never occurred to me before reading Myles' review.

I feel the Valonqar prophecy reveals too much, anyway. Either Jamie kills her or Tyrion does, and I don't think we need to know that.
I'm glad the show left it out.

So happy that Myles is doing the expert reviews!

Totally agree.
