@avclub-5833ab3542dfd68e2bf6585b6bb110c0:disqus oh dear god, I can't un-see that.  Wow.

Hell yeah.  "Which one gave you the tougher fight, the cripple or the six-year-old?" is one of my favourite quotes from the series so far.

@avclub-7ad2cbc1443489b9d33aaa1275d65a61:disqus Fair enough.  When I see the map at the start of the show, I just think 'Hadrian's Wall.'

There are FOUR lights!!!

Exactly, @avclub-f121d09285898f1c66d66f1e6f0455a6:disqus .  I think what most people are pointing out is that the scene was a little tone deaf.  Recognizing that there is a long, problematic history of western colonialism is not 'PC fanaticism,' nor is recognizing that there is a long tradition in western culture of…

Yep.  Note to Shae: when someone on this show tells you that you are a 'complication' and that you have to 'go away,' take the money and run.  95% of the characters on this show would have slipped you some nightshade or a dagger. 

At least Samwise could garden a little.

Today's winner of the internets.

And they had to build a wall to keep out the Picts…uh, Wildlings.

SIIIIIIIMMMMSSSS!!!!!

THEN YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING.  WHAT DOES TYWIN LANNISTER LOOK LIKE?

It was pretty heartbreaking to see her find temporary solace joking around with Tyrion, knowing that she was about the get the news about the rest of her family.

Really interesting.  I have had the exact opposite reaction.  I found her pouty and annoying as hell early on, but she is starting to earn her arrogance.  Standing around Qarth yelling 'where are my dragons' was annoying.  Torching the fuck out of Astapor after double-crossing Baldy McSlave-driver, and then casually…

Yeah, after last week, I thought "well, at least Arya didn't arrive just in time to see her family massacred."  Nope, just desecrated.

Oh, that would be perfect.  Episode nine, season six.

Yep, Jaqen H'ghar.  They played his theme again while she was staring at the coin.

I also thought it was a stark contrast to the scene at Astapor.  I have never been that high on Dany, but holy crap, when she started barking out orders and torched the city earlier this season, she won me completely over.  She completely projected power and awesomeness.

I despise him, but after last week, I'm more than happy to see him used as a blunt instrument of death if he takes out a few Boltons.

It also helps that Liam Cunningham is a hell of an actor.  The Wind That Shakes the Barley is one of my favourite movies, and he completely stole the show there.
