The perfectly apparent reason was that they had been making eyes at each other ever since the scene where the Jarl offered his daughter to Rollo.

I think season 2 was just too short to make Arya's descent into sociopathy believable. There is a lot of shit that happens in book 2 that makes her desensitized enough to slit a man's throat in cold blood, and there wasn't time to set all that up.

The big deal is that Ghost is what makes the wildlings realize Jon is a skinchanger, which leads to the reveal of all that entails.

Aha! I was looking at the list of episode titles and that was the only one that had me wondering, but your interpretation makes perfect sense.

No, Sam killing an actual Other with obsidian happens later, during the confused retreat.

It's strongly hinted in the books that the Westerlings were acting on Tywin's order, so not too much of a reach TBH.

I thought I saw a woman taking a punch at the very end of the last fight, but it's hard to say for sure.

What the heck are you on about? Gaius Julius Caesar IS the name of the guy who will become dictator and be assassinated on the Ides of March.

So you know a shieldmaiden is serious about going into battle when she puts on her eyeshadow.

Also, both their faces were so dirty you couldn't see what they looked like…

Yeah, but that Rollo lived almost 2 centuries later…

Hey, if it has actual longships, that's one up on GoT, where the series has the Ironborn sailing in the same friggin cogs as everyone else…

"Fugazi" was the word for something fake.

It wasn't just the princess…
