Also, notice the emphasis of "bastard" in the letter, even coming up several times. It's representative of Ramsay and how, through his eyes, being a bastard is among the gravest insults he can through at Jon.

Perhaps he was HOPING that Ramsay would kill (or something similarly horrific) Sansa so as to inspire the Vale to take up arms.

At some point, when it starts to calcify his brain and insides, but for now, I think he'd be feeling constantly ill and weaker because of that.

Well it isn't too farfetched that such a male-dominated society would underestimate the foreign "midget" khaleesi.

My thoughts as well, that fire moved too far and too fast for it to have just spilled over and me and my viewing mates thought she was magicking the fire or controlling it somehow.

He's much more malleable to the suggestions of his advisors, for better or for worse. The scene of Grand Maester Pycelle educating him was a nice touch, as that IS one of the major roles of the Grand Maester: Advising and educating the king/royalty.

"Gold will be their shrouds."

I can see where the goofy interpretation comes from, but I actually found the combination of Pryce's delivery, content of the monologue, and slow zoom to result in a sort of soul-piercing moment that makes one realize how effective he is as the head of a religious movement.

I was hoping she'd take a more subtle, patient route to assassinating Ramsay, but alas, Theon's legacy takes another life.

"Otherwise, she has no chance to succeed because none of them see any advantages to a life without slavery and she hasn't offered them any."

Excellent utilization of "Dogs".

Me and my viewing mates saw the scene as her controlling fire as those flames spread too far too quickly.

And winter is already hitting the North hard, Stannis even sacrificed his daughter to prove that point, and although the Vale's armies are fresh and relatively untouched by war, there's only so much you can do to fight against the weather.

Which, would be more of an effective moment if he was, in fact, not the heir to Highgarden (as is the case in the books).

It reminded me of a scene from S2.

It was pulled back for the first time, I believe, and it looked great!

The scene of High Sparrow and Margery was such a visual and thematic delight; the slow zoom whilst HS was giving his sermon regarding the temptation and eventual sin stemming from wealth and "fine things" coupled with Pryce's masterful performance was piercing. I had been holding my breath during that shot and I can…

Her knowing smirk is what led me to believe that Drogon would come to her rescue, but burning the temple down works as well.

Me and my viewing mates got the impression that Daenerys was controlling the fire somehow because, as you pointed out, that fire spread far and fast despite her just pushing over the brazier.

I'm hoping at most 2-3 years after Winds of Winter, we'll get the final book, so 2020 I suppose.
