I mean, that reveal shocked me. I expected him to be killed once that scene started, but I thought it would be by Lannister agents. It didn't occur to me that Arya would be there already. However, Walder Frey's death isn't surprising in a vacuum, especially since this season went to great lengths to establish the

I've seen people predict that Dany will turn evil and this episode did foreshadow that a little bit by emphasizing her lack of feeling for Daario. Ultimately, I see her and Jon headed on a collision course in some way. Whether that's as lovers or enemies is not quite clear to me yet, but neither would surprise me. We

With Tommen and that pesky high zealot out of the way, it looks like Clegane Bowl is back on the menu.

Red Wedding felt more epic to me. This was pretty great though. I think the only reason I can't rate it higher is because none of it really surprised me.

I have a feeling there might be some books in that library that could be of interest to Ser Jorah Mormont. Namely "50 Shades of Grey Scale".

She's hiding at Dragonstone with Stannis.

So it looks like next season will be centered around Cersei vs. Tyrells/Martells and Jon vs. Littlefinger. I think we're going to see how far loyalty stretches with Jaime and Sansa. I could see Sansa sacrificing herself to save Jon and Jaime turning against his sister. That would be my guess today.

That was very kind of Ned Stark to help that girl with the brown hair deliver her baby, but I hope next season we'll actually find out who Jon's mother is.

Ghost got into the rat poison again and is laid up in the Maester's with a mean case of the runs.

Just a couple bottles of fermented goat's milk and he's ready for action.

Wun Weg Wun Dar Wun didn't die for this.

Wouldn't the Boltons have scouts who would notice an army of thousands marching mere miles away from Winterfell? Ah, doesn't matter. Willing suspension of disbelief.

Given that he's probably going to be one of our main endgame heroes, I'm a little disappointed by how easily he was duped. He went full Ned Stark. You never go full Ned Stark.

Is this where I make a lame joke like Wun Weg Wun Dar Wun lives matter?

Jon is Ned's son. Even though he probably isn't Ned's son.

Well, having a fuckton of fully-loaded cavalry knights at your disposal will give you a good chance of winning most battles when the enemy are exhausted and on foot. Source: I once conquered Europe and a good portion of North Africa and the Middle East in Medieval 2 Total War.

Wasn't that basically just a reverse phalanx? Jon was almost punished for sleeping in on that day of Greek military history class.

I predicted Littlefinger's rescue as well, but they had me genuinely worried for Jon when he ran towards the enemy lines like a fool. The writing totally played up the danger before that ("you could die twice" etc), so I should've known to expect the opposite, yet I still took the bait.

Yea, well he's pretty much obsessed with everything related to Catelyn Stark and Sansa is supposed to look just like a younger version of Cat, so…

Nah, he's definitely Bran warging into Syrio Forel after Syrio has changed his face like Jaqen after dying of Greyscale and being cured by the Lord of Light after being killed by those guards in King's Landing and cast into the sea and resurrected by the Drowned God.
