Yeah, I'm generally pleased with Sansa at Winterfell, but I'm already bored by Sexy Girlfriend's wrath, and it hasn't even started yet.

Yeah, if Mike and I were a venn diagram, we'd have almost no overlap, but I think he's a genuinely good person, and I want nice things to happen for him.

Yup. I tried to shield that tongue with my hand, but the camera kept moving!

Where the hell was Peyton while Liv was an agoraphobic, cheetos-sucking gamer?

Can women inherit in Westeros? I know they can't inherit the throne (in marked contrast to Dorne), but can they inherit family holdings?

True, but Geillis recognized it too, and I assume she's British. Not a big deal either way — just struck me as funny.

I caught up on Outlander before watching this episode, and I have to say that, while I enjoy Outlander quite a bit, I always think the episode is over before it really is. With Game of Thrones I feel like I blink and the episode is ending, and I don't understand where the time went. I don't know why that is, and I

That's the truth. Horses are stupid and cowardly. Pretty, though.

Oh really, he got better? That's awesome!

I thought the same thing.

Brienne and Theon team up to save her? That would actually be pretty amazing — thematically, for Theon, saving a girl who was raised somewhat as his sister with the help of a woman he would have mocked in his dick-swinging days, would be pretty boss.

I, on the other hand, was surprised when all those horses ran off when Brienne loosed them at the tavern. Aren't knights' horses supposed to be better trained than that?

For some reason (maybe subconsciously cued by Arya being in a rowboat), I kept seeing people on the Braavos dock who looked like Gendry for a split second.. The heart sees what the heart wants to see, I guess.

Uh, she was basically saying she doesn't care if they kill every dwarf in Westeros as long as one of them is Tyrion. Your definition of "magnanimous" is different from mine.

"Then again, Game Of Thrones takes place in a world of dragons,
giants, and undead monsters, so what’s so unbelievable about Stannis
fathering a smoke monster with a red priestess and then sending said
smoke monster to kill his brother?"

She took poor Ilyn Payne (spelling?) off the list as well.

Yup. All I know about smallpox scars is what I learned from reading Outlander, actually.

Well, the show established that Colum was upset at Jamie for marrying Claire b/c now he couldn't be his heir (which makes no sense, as others have mentioned, but it does establish an in-show reason for Colum to want Claire dead).

Out of curiosity, do British people really learn the last words of American Revolutionary War heroes?

Loved that too. Also, Geillis says "fucking" at one point; Claire doesn't notice, but Jamie's unfamiliarity with the word was a great little presage to the reveal that Geillis is a time traveler as well.
