I absolutely think Stannis loves his daughter… but he's also a religious fanatic and dogmatically dedicated to his purpose above all else.

Dany and Stannis also have another thing in common: Neither has a potential heir to the throne they're seeking or a dynasty to perpetuate.

Haha so was I! When camera zoomed out, I was like: "They're still THAT close to the shore?! ROW YOU IDIOTS ROW!"

As mesmerizing as the scene was of Jon Snow & Company watching in awe as the White Walkers descend and the slain rise as zombie, I think it's much more realistic that they would be screaming at the rowers to get their asses in gear.

The scene of FINALLY seeing Tyrion and Daenarys in the same room talking was just as thrilling to me as the battle scene.

Our dreams came true!

A thing like that…

She looked nothing like Betty.

That's the best argument I've heard in Roose's defense! He should hire you to be his Press Secretary!

I don't think it warranted a full-minute focus on her from head to toe.

What the hell was up with that lingering shot of that woman lounging by the pool for absolutely no reason at all?

Pete better not fuck it up.

If you think about, us viewers are now victims of Ramsay's torture… trying to anticipate his next move and dreading any reaction he might to the characters around him. At this point, I probably hold my breath every time he appears on the screen.

One thing I never understood— either in the books or the show— is why the Starks ever tolerated or trusted the Boltons in the first place. As their liege-lord, he had to have heard reports of Roose (and probably Ramsay too) raping and otherwise tormenting the common folk. It's just really out of character for both…

"By presenting Reek to Sansa and forcing him to make an apology, Ramsay potentially endears himself to his fiancée while showing his father the sheer force of his will. "

My favorite Mom will always be Helen Morgendorffer from Daria… the quintessential Type A, feminist, hippie-turned-Yuppie mother to a Gen-Xer. She's basically the perfect counterpoint to the passive-aggressive and long-suffering sexy housewife to a fat imbecile that defines most animated (and live-action) comedy…

That braid is magical!

Kurt Cobain might have despised being an icon (which is a completely dehumanizing and unmanageable level of fame), but I don't believe for one second that he was dragged kicking and screaming into the spotlight.

Diana is the least inspiring of all Don's mistress's and I'm so glad she didn't appear on my screen last night, to drain all color and joy out of my TV. I'm sure there are plenty of other plot devices the writer's can think of to highlight Don's man-pain other than this useless character.

Joan always operated under the belief that being able to get powerful men to do things for her was the same thing as having power herself. For the first time in her career (or at least on this show) she was confronted with the limitations of that approach. She traded an annoying frat boy for an older, domineering…
