Am I remembering incorrectly, or didn't Jaime also threaten to murder any person with the last name Tully, after specifically calling out his wife and child?

You always hurt the one you love.

Would be hilarious if the three dragons destroy the Masters' ships and only afterwards does the council have time to tell her about all of Mereen's ships getting burned up while she was gone. Information that would have been more helpful a few minutes ago…

If that Sparrow were truly deserving, the seven gods would have intervened on his behalf. Oh well, the rest of the lot just need to pray harder.

It would be interesting to see whether Ramsey would end up enjoying that… Pod has mad skills in that area!

I'm kind of nervous that we may lose Wun Wun next week. It only took a few Night's Watch in close quarters to take down the other giant. I'm worried that Ramsey has some ultrapainful way of taking him down.

Too bad Varys left, because I would have expected him to tell Tyrion about how every city he controls ends up getting seiged.

The problem is that we have no way of knowing anything about all the extras in every chapter of the books. Just because they're not mentioned doesn't mean they're not there. I'm sure GRRM's editors had to trim the long lists describing every extra in every scene in order to make room for all of his descriptions of

Now I agree that Ramsay is not very professional, but he does seem extremely goal-oriented, even if I don't like his particular goals…

What I found interesting about Ian McShane's community was the statement it made about life in the kingdom. Even if you try to remove yourself from the game, eventually the game comes to you, usually bringing death. Same thing happened with the Vale the minute Littlefinger skittered himself through those ravines.

I like having episodes that are mainly interactions between people because acting. Having an episode where you get to hear Olenna and Bronn and the Hound make comments was great fan service. Seeing Theon try to overcome his inner demons was good. Seeing Jaime having to go through the motions while having Blackfish

I find it interesting that Jon and Sansa are having such problems making a strong case to take back Winterfell. Sansa tries to use the "sworn to the Starks" argument, which everybody quickly bats away, since getting involved in the Starks' grievances gets everybody killed. I don't know why Jon can't convince ANY

I absolutely agree on the pacing. The multiple scenes with the Hound almost made it feel like he hadn't been MIA for so long. And I particularly liked the interspersed scenes of Jon, Davos, and Sansa trying to gather support. Is this one of the only episodes where they've cut back to a particular storyline that

They obviously chose to take up residence way north of the wall, where real estate is very cheap and only decided to move south once they had the zombie collateral to take more land without having to take out a loan. Just smart accounting all the way around.

But I also think Nikolaj did a fantastic job playing Jaime in that scene. He was coming to discuss terms with Blackfish as a man who, although smart and competent, doesn't really have his heart in taking this castle. He looked like he even realized that dumb decisions made by members of his own family had brought

Yeah, especially since Jaqen specifically said to not make her suffer. The Waif is proving herself just as bad at following orders.

As a fan of Outlander, I'll admit to being happy seeing Menzies with that noose around his neck. He was so cartoonishly evil on Outlander that I will want to see him suffer in every other role he takes from now on. I fear I feel the same way for Iwan Rheon now because of Ramsey. At least I got to enjoy Iwan in

Everybody's been saying how the Waif has been too serious and mean this season, but last night she really made Arya bust a gut!

Yes, but that version of Wizard of Oz stands on its own as a piece of cinematic art. Shouldn't people let the new Ghostbusters do the same?

Just wondering… could the Night King turn Hodor into a wight, setting up a possible scene where Bran and Meera are forced to slaughter him again?
