They've remade Casablanca! - Philistines! How can you re-make Casablanca? The one starring Myra Dinglebat & Peter Beardsley was definitive!

I think I'm comfortable with the use of Ramsay this season, in a way that I wasn't in the last few. They had to have him kill his whole family, and we know that any time anybody dies offscreen people speculate about their survival. They probably had to remove Osha as a shield for Rickon. Also I'm pretty convinced that…

You absolutely need to bring your cats on Polite Fight. Cats around laptops are totally conducive to a slick show…

Appreciated that even though they skipped title credits for the second episode, they still managed to throw in the shop name next door and the exterminator van in the opening shot.

I don't foresee the actual Raven living on "Obi-Wan ghost style" after his death, but there's a possibility that Bran will still be able to talk to a Raven avatar in his dream state - either through going to the past, or just constructing an imaginary "spirit guide". I'd imagine that would be a possibility.

He clearly has a few in each geographic area, given how his accent changes with every different camera angle. Surprised his conversation partners don't spot the handovers…

Oh absolutely - even as a white gay man, the general rule is that you can pick 2 of the following:

I think that streaming services have been surprisingly good at catering for the LGBT demographic. I know that nowadays quite a few television shows have a token gay character - but with Orange is the New Black, Sense8 and Transparent there's a really solid block of queer content being produced by online only services.

I think Sense8 is one of the few series that you actually need to binge. It's got a very unique feel, and a very slow burn. Things didn't really seem to be happening for a while, but it's beautifully shot and edited and it just keeps building & building… By the end I was completely engrossed.

I don't know, I think if they were going to write Jorah out they would do it more finally. They'd show him die. They've drawn it out long enough. I don't see him quietly vanishing after half a season of pointless ambling.

Regarding Myles' speculation that maybe dragon fire cures greyscale… Maybe in the sense that not having an arm would remove the greyscale, but otherwise, how would that work?

Are we going to have Bran responsible for every tragedy on the show?

But you'd have to assume that her storyline is leading to her being "the solution to the Westerosi power struggle" - even if she doesn't end up on the throne.

I don't really see it as a power match: he's a mentally traumatised exile - he doesn't bring any Westerosi houses with him. It wasn't clear how many ships Yara and Theon actually stole, but I'm not sure she'd take that deal. If anything Yara would seem a stronger candidate for a marriage, though Yara/Tyrion strikes me…

Where do people think Bran heads now? I mean the smart money is on South: he might be vital in the battle against the White Walkers, but I can't see him heading in that direction with Meera now.

I'd love Sansa to kill Littlefinger to be honest, but I don't see it happening just yet. I reckon he'll get his comeuppance much further down the line.

My biggest concern for Dany's storyline going forward is that she's still going to have the problem she had before: trying to be a good, fair ruler whilst leading a horde of raping pillaging wild men… I thought they'd resolved that aeons ago when she traded in her Dothraki horde for the Unsullied but she seems to have…

Not 100% sure Bran's going to be in the most keen "time travelling mood" for a little while after tonight.

That's part of the reason I can't read the books myself. I've tried multiple times. I just can't keep myself excited through the fairly dense text when I already know what's coming… I got as far as the end of book 1 but that's all I can manage.

You won't enjoy the show until a character who has appeared for, what, 1 minute in total this season is dead?
