Does she have to be? Do you know of any magic… that could help her? No? Burned the body you say? ah well… worth a shot.

Ok… ya… Pants first, then Olly.

Roose has a conscience… I don't think he saw it coming at all (I did… since the pregnancy was announced…). Also, he believes Ramsay is afraid of him, and perhaps that Ramsay realizes he is not anywhere near ready to lead. WRONG on all counts. But I will say, I kinda like that he was completely blind sided. Because if…

BUT, there is a silver lining… well two:

Followed by "Now, where's that Foookin Olly?"

Ramsay think he has the Umbers…

Snow is from a great Northern house and Davos' Lord Stannis held great respect for him and his Family. He was going to give him the Stark name and the North. Davos likely understood something is special with Jon Snow… if not Magical. Also, Davos needs someone to follow/fight for… it's in his nature

When Thoros was telling the story about the first time he brought somebody back he said he didn't even believe any of it… he just said the words… we saw Melisandre get to that same point

I think it was Melisandre… She is always talking about fate. Fate isn't magical in appearance. They all had to die "normally" to maintain the hint of doubt, without which there can not be faith.

Ramsay had to kill his father out of ambition… But Roose was the only thing keeping Ramsay from getting himself killed… shouldn't be long now

yes… But Robb Stark cut off the head of the Karstark… and now the current Lord Karstark hates the Starks. This is not Kinslaying. it was the slaying of his kin, for justice as seen by his Lord Rob Stark. One can not say that because Karstark holds this grudge that he would oppose any person in any circumstance killing…

When Karstark (Who now holds a grudge against the Starks) says "It's time for new blood in the North" he was referring to Ramsay Snow/Bolton. Kinslaying… and having your Kin Slain are not the same.

Patience… while we wait… what do you think his Birds will tell him? I'm thinking The new Greyjoy, or Little finger is behind the Sons of the Harpy.

That's what I'm unclear on… they had a meeting and discussed the event of Jon's death. Then Davos noted back in the room with Jon's body that "Thorne would have made it official, Castle Black is his." Everyone was following Thorne, I just wasn't sure if any of that stuff counted as legitimate.

The sparrow accepts we are all sinners and we all have death coming. But somehow he picks and chooses who should be locked up and says it is the will of the gods… He is not what he proclaims… he can not be.

Who is the current Lord Commander? Is it officially Thorne? He would be 999 then I believe. Who will be 1000?

as an outsider/// I doubt anyone would "wait" very long to accept that this is NOT working.

Ya, it's put some holes in the show IMO… this is the first year that I'd say dialogue in and of itself isn't one of the stronger points. It's actually distracted from the setting and story at some points… I can't really imagine any reason for it… perhaps mass appeal? the variety that started with the salacious sand…

I have actually enjoyed the predictability of the first 2 episodes… It's been several long awaited payoffs (which has been fun). I feel I expected most of these BIG EVENTS to happen later in the season… which means the seasons arcs are racing compared to my expectations. So there's excitement as well as anticipation.

I was trying very hard to "ink blot test" that scene… I didn't see it. Maybe a demon… But I couldn't really say
