Then he used his magical carpentry skills to build a gazebo on top of his dead girlfriend!  In a matter of hours!

This

Pretty much the funniest scene in the show's run, starting from Meadow taking Paulie into Tony's hospital room to Tony going into V-tach.  Give Tony Sirico all the awards.

Their roles can be easily smushed together into Osha's character, especially given the high praise GRRM and the producers have for Natalie Tena.  They don't really offer anything, except for a future look into the world of Howland Reed, which seems like it could not be farther off after 5 books.  Chalk Jojen and Meera

Stop it.

It's weird that the writers are able to construct a new scene between Arya and Tywin that works extremely well on multiple layers, and then completely whiff on the Tickler.

A moment to complain about the complete series DVD's.  This is the first time I've watched season 6A from the complete set, and the disc is basically unwatchable.  The sound cuts in and out and there are constant skips.  This has happened with earlier episodes, probably due to the way the discs are in

Nice call on the music at the end of the episode.  You think it's going to be a contemplative instrumental when it starts, but then the lyrics start up with talk of giving in to the endless ocean and letting go.  Absolutely brutal.

I'm not 100% sure on it, but I don't think it's a coincidence that the stag club was a little cock-shaped.

Ilyn Payne, the executioner who killed Ned.

He does not want to have been seen…forcing a whore to rape another whore to death.  I am not past surprise.

Guys, Lommy Greenhands's hands were green.  Gotta love the little details.

Goddamn, I get that Syrio = Jaqen is a theory some people have, but I hate it.  I just hate it.

There's a couple of comparable scenes in a Deadwood episode where Al and Cy are each trying to get their prostitutes back to work.  Littlefinger definitely went the Cy route, in which he tells Joanie "This is how I want to touch you, just like that.  Don't make me do it different."

Nailed it.

Oh, Theon.  Can't remember if Balon saying "I know who I am" is in the book but damn, if that's not some good foreshadowing for 4-5 years down the road.

This is weird.  I just started watching Ken Burns' Civil War for the first time two nights ago.  Community, get out of my Chang.

Stop it.

Seriously, this episode made me giggle.  I don't really care about the various mistakes made, from Boyd ignoring Wynn's advice to just kill Quarles at the first opportunity, then Wynn ignoring his own advice.  Reveal after reveal after reveal, coupled with Justified's sense of humor, I absolutely loved this episode,

One of my friends who's watching the show but hasn't read the books sent me a text after the episode, saying a Theon betrayal of Robb and a Balon agreeing with Robb's plan are both impossibilities.  Poor guy.
