I thought about this too. I assume that the guests' guns can't hurt other guests, just like the hosts' guns can't hurt them.

Nah, this show is never about not spelling stuff out. I think they're saving the T in the equation for later.

It definitely never seemed like she did, but the last two scenes with Sansa/Littlefinger seemed to be implying he's going to manipulate her with the allure of being the Queen of the North.

"Everything you love will turn to ashes in your mouth," I think. And all she has left is Jaime and being Queen, at this point.

I hope you're right. It would be great if Sansa somehow found out Littlefinger is the one who got Lysa to kill Jon Arryn, framed Tyrion, led Ned to being beheaded, and started the whole war.

It didn't seem like Sansa was expecting any notoriety. She told Jon herself that he should be king. It doesn't make sense for Sansa to be able to control Littlefinger since he gave her away to Ramsay without a second thought, but I guess that doesn't mean they won't write it that way. Unless by "him" you meant Robyn,…

The Faceless stuff confuses me. Is Arya using magic or just sticking people's faces on her face? If it's the latter, how come everyone doesn't do it? If it's a gift from the Many-Faced God, why the hell do they need the physical faces?

I want King Gendry and R+L=J to happen, but I wonder how anyone is going to prove either of their lineage?

They're trying to get as much mileage as they possibly can out of the reveal. L=J this season and, my guess, R+L=J in the beginning/middle of next season, just before Jon and Dany team up to fight the White Walkers.

What a great finale. I haven't enjoyed the show this much in a long time, maybe ever.

That scene fell so hilariously flat. They hear this giant earth-shattering clatter that we slowly learn must be a dragon…cut to Emilia Clarke's underwhelming urgent-face when she runs in and a dragon flaps in the distance over her shoulder. Even if they didn't have the money for a CGI dragon there, just having…

Isn't it established that magic gets stronger as the White Walkers get closer AND as the dragons get closer/stronger? It would make sense that more people are being raised from the dead.

Isn't that line from Varys talking about Littlefinger? "He would burn the kingdom down just so he could rule the ashes." They might've used that line twice, though.

I think that's exactly what it's going to end up being, but I can't figure out why Bran would go back and say that to Aerys. Maybe in an attempt to get him to deal with the White Walkers before they're a bigger problem, but if that's the case you'd think he'd go farther into the past than Aerys.

I remember finding this on tumblr ages ago and it's since been my more-interesting-Rickon "head canon," as the kids call it.

I have really been enjoying the play subplot. It's the only time this show has ever been subtle and artful. Babadook mom needs to be in everything.

It never occurred to me that GRRM arranged the show so he wouldn't have to write the books. It's an interesting thought, considering he used to work in TV.

Yeah, I always knew this was coming. There was way too much emphasis in the first book on how Hodor's not his name!, no one knows why he says it!, it's a mystery! And then Hodor ends up traveling with Bran? I guess you could assume he'd served his purpose by being simple-minded enough for Bran to warg him. But I…

"Burn them all" = Bran shouting for someone to burn the White Walkers?

It wasn't even offensive, annoying, ugly, or sloppy. It was just…nothing. The plot is pretty much dull-proof, but somehow they managed to make it boring. I just read the Wikipedia summary and that was more fun than watching it. There is literally no way Refn can mess this up, whether it's neon or muddy or covered in…
