Beric and Thoros! Sweet lord of light, I missed those guys. If we're going to get an Episode 8 that's mostly talk and little action, at least the talking features them and Sandor.

I'd tell you my view of Bridget Everett's foul interactions with the unfortunate people who go to her shows, but I already got a comment removed once today, over in a Lena Dunham-related thread.
