Yeah, I just figured she wanted the Septa to die incredibly slowly. Didn't think there was any rape implied.

I think the Dothraki are just so awed by Dany at this point that they'll do whatever she says. But yeah, that could be a wrinkle in her plan.

Withnail would have loved the ubiquity of lemon cakes.

No, I know. Just a fantasy I had. I started with the books, and I want to finish with the books. But it's not going to happen, most likely.

I doubt they'd make her a villain at this point. She just made a seemingly sincere pact with Yara that included the proviso that the Greyjoys had to reform their pillaging and raping ways. I assume she's probably given the Dothraki a similar speech.

This morning I had one of those half-awake epiphanies where I convinced myself that the reason it's taking GRRM so damn long to get Winds of Winter out is that he's trying to do A Dream of Spring at the same time, in a desperate attempt get his conclusion out before the show ends.

Plus for all we know the Horn of Joramun* is still out there, possibly about to fall into the hands of the Night King.

Here's how I think it goes:

I would have loved to see him accompany Arya back to Westeros and basically just spend the whole voyage drinking anything that could be vaguely construed as alcohol and being a drunken hindrance.

Yeah, it's just hard to watch her take such glee in killing. She hasn't become "no one," but the Arya Stark we came to love is gone.

I hope it's just John, spelled slightly differently.

A few things to unpack here:

I don't know why, but whenever I think about this movie I imagine a different, crazy, Daniel Radcliffe movie called 2 Ply Man where he stars as a sentient roll of toilet paper who makes friends with the guy who buys him. And then they have adventures.

Kurt Loder always struck me as someone who thought his career as MTV's elder statesman would somehow transition into becoming a "real" newsman. Not so much. And by the time he was interviewing Jewel about her "poetry" it was the late 90s, and he probably had a sense that his career was going to devolve into being a…

Personal taste. I prefer Stiles' whole scrawny nerd thing.

Osha, who had the great idea to try to murder Ramsey Bolton with the most powerful weapon at her disposal: her sexuality.

So yeah, I don't disagree with anything that Myles said in his review. This was a Point A to Point B type of episode: Jon and Sansa need to retake Winterfell, because Ramsay is pure evil, and because they need the support of the North to rally a force against the White Walkers. If they lose, that result would just be…

I'm not complaining about the dragons existing. I'm saying that there's got to be more creative ways to use the dragons. When Dany finds herself pitted against dire odds, and there should be some tension as to whether or not she'll be able to prevail against them, she can just jump onto Drogon and watch her enemies…

Yeah, it was a great display of her power. For me it would have been more impressive if she hadn't just used Drogon to impress/intimidate the Dothraki.

Sure, it was predictable. Sure, we all knew that Sansa had probably written to Littlefinger, and that the army of the Vale would swoop in and save the day. Sure, the justice was almost too poetic when Ramsay was fed to his dogs. But just because we had a sense of the outcome at the outset, doesn't make the execution…
