That final sequence was awesome, but the best part of the episode was Ramsay's absence.

Jesus Christ this episode. I had given up hope this show was going to be able to really make me feel something, but that whole final sequence was like a snowball of tension and sadness that kept getting bigger and bigger. I feel physically exhausted.

SHAME! *ding*

Okay, so not that many, but it *feels* like more.

Has he been in more episodes than Joffrey by this point? Because that'd be completely unacceptable.

I wanted her to at least hurt him a bit just to take that smirk off his face for a moment.

He really became Khal Moron at the end there.

The smartest bit of business in this season so far, probably.

If she was able to at least injure him, I'd be more okay with her death. Then we could get angry Ramsay for a few scenes, instead of constantly smirking Ramsay.

But is horse poopie that flammable? That was like napalm-level combustion.

I miss Neil Marshall.

But maybe they could be killed in more interesting ways? Some of these deaths feel like afterthoughts.

So she doesn't really care about her granddaughter?

Did we ever see horses inside the temple, though? What would be the point of that?

High five.

It's coals drenched in oil, because reasons.

See, it's the juxtaposition that bugs me. We barely get a moment to process her death and the show is already on awkward comedy mode.

They decided to jump over them talking about stuff we already know? It was awkward, but focusing too much on plot would take the focus away from their reunion, I think.

We don't need Rickon, but we also don't need another child to die horribly?

A popular revolt could be interesting. Also, Daenerys is supposedly getting there eventually, and she has a much better track record with the general population than with nobles, we're constantly informed…
