"Her name is Khaleesi!"

I'm bummed they didn't have Tywin smiling.

"I guess you could say the same for the Ironborn storylines but I never really felt like those were going anywhere."

Classic Moleman.

I don't want to be that guy who mentions the books but if you think they're bad in the show, they're about 10 times more insufferable in the books.

Or because there would be so much crap in the show it wouldn't flow well if they included everything.

I'm still waiting for a Freaky Friday situation

Also: don't give Daario any more monologues. I actually prefer show-Daario to book-Daario but his accent kept breaking.

If this was two or three years ago, I'd call you crazy since the actors for Stannis and Jon weren't that great. But damn, I'm enjoying watching them now.

Balon Greyjoy's been dead for 15 years! Ooooooooo

Something did feel off about this episode, to me it felt lesser. I could just be comparing it to the fantastic premiere last season with the introduction of Oberyn.

Balon has to die this season, right? I mean Robb bit it in Season 3, Joff last season.

Yup. I also think they can still have a confrontation with the BwB. Like the Hound said, she's wearing Lannister armor, with a Lannister squire, on a Lannister mission.

LSH could be chilling in a cave while the Brotherhood hangs Freys. I don't even care about LSH anymore, but I do wanted to see some hanging Freys already!

Especially if they cut Manderley and fArya and what's going on in Winterfell, they won't need him to go sneak in.

I could see them cutting that entire plot out. Plus we don't know many of the other wildlings, it makes sense that the one we do know wouldn't want to watch his leader die in a terrible way.

I did enjoy the flashback but I'm bummed that they went back on their No Flashbacks policy. Season one would have been that much richer.

Not really. JLU was amazing without Batman villains and it was nice seeing the spotlight on lesser-known characters.

Lmao, DC wouldn't bring in Wally or Jay. They're going to keep churning out dull, white bread Barry Allen and Hal Jordan.

It helps that The Flash opens with the line "I need you to do something for me. You have to believe in the impossible." setting the tone for the series.
