That bathtub scene, holy crap — I was pretty much on the edge of my seat just listening to him.  Loved Jaime's apology to Brienne.  It seemed genuine, as did his saying that he trusted her.  All of the detail he went into, and the pain it caused him to tell it, his eyes peering through his muddy hair, plus the dawning

Haven't heard of Greyscale plague since I haven't read the books, but that's an apt name if that's what she had.  I noticed the scaling and thought of two things: Dany's dead baby (or at least what the witch said to her about it) and dragonskin.

Twas a thing that dwelt in shadows, never raising its head, leaving nothing to mark its trail.

Might not have been worse than his breath — does Jon Snow even carry a toothbrush?

Yeah, no love lost for Karstark.  I did like the scene where Robb's mother, wife, and uncle all tell him 'Hey, maybe just keep this asshole in the dungeon at Riverrun and tell his troops they'll get him back after the war', a thing that might have kept those men from deserting — they all look at him plaintively.  And

Yeah, the scene with her and Mrs. S was great.  I believe Sarah felt genuinely wistful, and grateful, reaching for her hand, but as soon as Sarah asks for something, Mrs. S pulls away, expecting the worst — it makes sense, since she's put Mrs. S through the wringer in the past.  Kira was watching this quite closely. 

Paul's boss looked sorta like Seth Rogen and Eddie Izzard merged in a horrific teleporter accident.  Horrific in that it would be a tragic waste of Eddie Izzard.  The boss didn't sound like either of them, though.

Paul even says "I hate my job."  I also think he meant it when he said he wanted to run away with her.

Yeah, he definitely should have been trying harder to figure out what was wrong sooner, but he liked what was wrong, so he was disinclined.  He preferred unpredictable, mixed-message, willing-to-fuck-spontaneously, possibly-crazy "Beth" to the Beth he knew.

I'm completely OK with proof being offered, but this show is on BBCA, not HBO.

Considering how broken up he was over Sarah's "death", I kinda figured he wasn't gonna just disappear.  If they had had a scene of Vic telling someone "I can't live in this town anymore — too many memories" then I would have bought him not returning to the story.

"Not right" is what I heard as well.

I loved that Alfredo called him out like that, reminding Sherlock that he doesn't operate in a vacuum and that his actions, even ones he considers meaningless, still affect others.  The way Alfredo said it, you could tell he was upset, but his tone remained mild — he was never strident, he was just like 'man, I wish

Could be worse — could be Aqua Velva.

Thomas is working on Helena under some piss-poor conditions — what was that, a warehouse or a dingy basement?  Guess he spent all his money on that fancy fish-emblem ring.  It certainly looked like more of a fly-by-night operation than the one Paul's in.  Maybe Thomas, along with Maggie Chen and any other fish folk,

I like Colin too — he's a bit of an odd duck.  Very deadpan humor (ha, appropriately).  I also hope he's on the up and up, or if not, that he can be turned to Sarah and Felix's side.

Sidenote: Big Boob Blowies is a hilarious porno title.

"Just squeeze them a little."

Yeah, fanny basically means vulva rather than buttocks, and I'm not surprised that "get your fanny out of there" isn't some kind of established British phrase — I just handwaved it as something obnoxious that Felix might say.
