It was great to see Bran be the voice of reason there, despite being about half Osha's age.  (I'm guessing.)

Smeeeeeeeeeeeagol . . .

I loved that.  It was the first glimpse of fear I've ever seen on her face.  I strongly suspect that, among the pairs of eyes that Arya will have "shut forever", Melisandre saw her own.

Maybe Melisandre will be extracting blood from Gendry, or maybe she really will just be boning him, as she did with Stannis, to produce a smokebaby.  There is a cost each time Thoros brings Beric back from the dead, so it stands to reason that the magic Mel's doing will have a cost as well.  Maybe the smokebaby she…

Only way to know for sure is to view the conception.

@avclub-53ef3f6607f8a9d210d7ceb6c2eab5e8:disqus Can there be a Kenneth Lannister too?  I just want to see Jack McBrayer in armor being all like "I just cleaned all the ramparts!  Say, do I smell banana bread?"

@GoodShotLeibovitz:disqus  I was left with the opposite impression of that ending shot.  Petyr's speech about power and chaos, "only the ladder is real" — his words overshadowed that lovely scene.  The beauty of nature is real, sure, but Jon and Ygritte are too far up to see the details, the ugly little struggles…

*opens tin*

Well explained!  That's what I was thinking too.  Which would mean Delphine isn't one of the regular "monitors" but someone looking for a way in with one of the clones on behalf of Dyad/Leekie.

Despite all those people being funneled to the same place, Vic still doesn't know that Sarah has any doubles — he managed to not see her and Alison together, so he still believes that Sarah's just going on an impersonating rampage.  Impressive shuffling of pieces on the board.

Worse than that — he grabbed her ass!  He's lucky Sarah wasn't alone with him, as I'm sure she would have kicked his ass.

That would be awesome.

Yeah, Donnie's not off the hook in my mind either.  That phone call while he was burning shit in the middle of the night sounded very much like he was reporting in.  Donnie often seems dumb, and selfish, but he might be a really good actor.  Watching cricket?  An affair with lupus girl?  Not buying it.  Although your…

Sarah's enough of a badass on her own, really.  But yeah, they all have very human limitations.

What tipped Paul over to 'like' for me was when he decided, in front of Vic in Alison's bedroom (both people he'd not interacted with before), that he was going to play along with Sarah.  He had no stake in anything going on there, he just wanted to know more about Sarah.  If there was evidence of Paul being able to…

I liked that some of the inflections in his big speech were reminiscent of Max - I don't think that was accidental.

Charlie Day (same diff, I know), and that was me.  Vic's starting to have a borderline stigmata situation now — if he dies, will he come back as zombie Jebus?

If they hadn't previously established that Strax has trouble telling human genders apart, I might have thought that too.

Wait.  Wait wait wait, @Heffer:disqus .  Are you saying that Jenna Coleman, as Clara, has Dreamworks-face?

Backdoor Pilot was the porno Donnie didn't want Alison to find.
