I don't think the prop head is a clue. I really want them to be smart and pull the rug from under the audience like that, but right now the show seems stuck in WYSIWYG mode. There's no cleverness, no surprises, just people dying or moving to where they need to be so even more people can die.

She could literally be doing everything she's doing without him there, but I guess we need him to find out she slept with Lancel so his arc can go back to where it was last season when he burned the letter and etc.

She heard the stories. All Jon needed was a "It's all real" Han Solo moment.

About Yara: she's *really* mad that Theon allowed himself to be broken like that. I guess in her view he should've probably killed himself instead of becoming some land-dweller's lapdog.

The fact that Oleanna did nothing so far is really weird. "Sure, they can keep her starving in a dirty dungeon for as long as they want, but marching her naked on the streets? That's where I draw the line."

Not only do they unceremoniously kill Osha, they also immediately cut to a humorous moment with Tormund. I really don't get what the tone of this show is supposed to be sometimes.

But he has dark circles around his eyes! Also he's a giant now, but there's not much that can be done about that short of digging a moat around the set for him to walk inside.

I'm glad they cut out all the talking about stuff we already know.

Doesn't she say, in the first season, that Viserys couldn't be "the dragon" because "the dragon" can't be burnt? So I guess in the show's mythology not every Targaryen is immune to fire, just the most badass one in each generation or something.

She only asked the younger widow to not betray her. The show made a point of her saying "You two are going to help me, and you just have to keep quiet." The was no indication of the temple floor being sabotaged.

Yeah, you could see his hardships becoming stories someday. Sansa's are the things you pretend never happened.

"Hey, guys, remember Osha?

This trailer passes the Bechdel test.

That was an okay chapter, I didn't know the Golden Company was composed of gang members from The Warriors.

We never saw him do anything for "the people" other than giving soup to the poor in that one scene (his first scene). As soon as Cersei gave him power he was like "beat up the gays" and "starve people until they confess" etc. Fuck him.

There's definitely less moral complexity in the show. Isn't the church way less hate-worthy in the books? I honestly don't remember.

Dany goes to Westeros because all of Essos becomes a giant leper colony.

Also that bitch Theon trying to also have his beheading and completely botching it.

That was the best season and they should've kept going with the time travel to the point of utter insanity. That would've saved that show.
