@dcp Sorry, this post is going to have a lot of book comparisons considering it's one of the biggest plot twists/complete clusterfucks in the series. This is a moment the series has been building to since the showrunners first met with GRRM, and the episode they wanted to film. There's going to be some

I felt this way when I first read the scene, but the books heavily foreshadow the event. Likewise, if you go back and watch the last season and a half, this is pretty heavily foreshadowed as well. It's an earned surprise, and the showrunners pulled off something very difficult with great aplomb. It took characters

Maisie Williams deserves an Emmy for being fucking awesome across three seasons of TV.

Not being able to find a new wife.

How about Rory dumping Dean for Jess in Gilmore Girls? That's high up there for me.

The thing they ate was salt and bread, which is supposed to grant you guest right and protection from any harm under the host's walls. It's inviolable. Well, it WAS inviolable.

Other than Sansa, Bran, Rickon, Arya and Jon.
