I guess HBO just got the bill for filming the Battle of the Bastards and decided they had to cut some expenses somewhere.

Wasn't he one of the post-walkout scabs that they hired, though?

He didn't have Riker disease, he was Shatnering.

Can't the House do what it wants? The House picking the president is because the Electoral College had failed.

What if O'Brien dies? Could the House just say "screw it" and pick James?

Interesting.

Horses can't just walk on the ground? Are these Mitt Romney's fancy dancing horses or something?

Wasn't she actually knighted by Renly?

Every show has a worst episode. I'm not saying it's "Spock's Brain" bad, but as GoT episodes go, this is down at the bottom.
