Here's a geography thought prompted by the map:

He looks a lot younger than Catelyn.  Maybe he's the baby of the family, held in reserve for just such a crisis when they really needed someone still available for the marriage market.

Well, between blue, green, and brown, basically every eye color is covered.

I think they did say 700 feet.  The view looked more like what you'd get from twice as high, but whatever.  It was still cool.

This has bothered me from the very beginning.  It's like that ass with the eagle is the only one who's figured out hats.

You see some abandoned crane-like structures partly buried in snow when they get to the top.  I think that's going to be their way down.  If they're smart, they've picked a spot with a tunnel through the wall like we saw at Castle Black that they can just open up for their friends.

I thought the books revealed who was behind that and it wasn't Joffrey, but maybe I'm totally mistaken.

Yeah, their reviewer still thinks his sigil is a red man - obviously doesn't read the viewer guide, which gives the whole flayed man background for Bolton.  I don't see any commenters picking that up, either, though.

Unlikely.  We've seen that Lady Arryn can successfully restrain her boy when she feels like it (he wanted to toss Tyrion even after his trial), and that's just who Littlefinger is going to woo.

I agree that she's trying to Margaery Littlefinger, but not because she recognizes him for a creep yet.  Sansa is all about surface appearances until something shatters that.  She was all about Joffrey for a shockingly long time, she dismissed the idea that a handsome man could do anything dishonorable (Loras using a…

I chose to understand that comment slightly differently, that with casualties plus the Karstarks leaving, he was down to half, rather than that the Karstark contingent alone made up half his army.

Five chapters of just icy stares and awkward family reunions.

Cat was only ever "Lady Stark" through her marriage to Ned, never in her own right.  Out of respect, she's still "Lady Stark", but that doesn't mean she has any claim to Stark lands.

Well, if we decide the religion of the seven is like medieval Catholicism, then it's just barely possible the High Septon could do such a thing.  But why would he when he's in Kings Landing, surrounded by Lannisters and Tyrells.

It feeds right back into that first scene with C-W and Charles Dance, where he accuses Jaime of caring too much what other people think, that they call him Kingslayer.  What could be a bigger admission that you DO care deeply what others think of you than stooping to defend your actions.  His father didn't disapprove…

Selmy grilling Jorah?  More like Jorah trying to figure out if Selmy knew, with all that talk about the Small Council and oh you weren't on the Small Council, how unusual.

Remember that the sorcerers in Qarth said their magic started working better with dragons around.  Someone in this episode* calls Thoros a charlatan - clearly he'd never seen him raise someone from the dead.  I think we're looking at an across the board resurgence of magic that's going to catch everyone off guard.…

numbercruncher I'm willing to bet Robert had dozens of bastards who escaped the KL slaughter.  Do you remember him talking about "making the eight", i.e. bedding a woman from all seven kingdoms plus the Riverlands?  I suspect he made the eight many times over as king.

Montypark If you wrap yourself in enough furs to not freeze standing still, you're probably going to sweat like mad as soon as you start tromping through the snow.

Gary X Lancel Lannister, yes she slept with him, too.
