I'm really concerned that Melisandre is not going to be at Castle Black. I always thought she would be there just in case someone got stabbed multiple times and needed reviving.

This show went from funny to sad in about four episodes and is yet to turn it back around. Maybe it's all a dream, Phil was knocked unconscious in episode one wasn't he?

Vodka goes bad if you don't finish the bottle.

Not too sure how these things work but why is Betsy Kettleman even allowed in the room with her husband and the lawyers when she's not been charged with a crime? Shouldn't she be kept in the dark for deniability purposes? She's very entertaining and their dynamic is hilarious but it's Craig Kettleman being charged…

Thank you for calling out the Kalf storyline, it is nothing but intrusive at this point and I don't see it getting any better. We've already dealt with Northmen on Northmen for two seasons now we do not need to re-hash the same plotlines. On to France please.

Life intrudes on the privacy of grief. Grief intrudes on the vibrancy of life. What we are is a collection of conflicting emotions, driven by impulses we sometimes don’t understand. The best we can hope for is that we stand together in the dark, to provide the kind of comfort for each other that we would want, should…

"The jury will now retire to the whores' rooms and begin their deliberations."

Really went all-in on the Rick-bashing there. When exactly has he been an obstacle? How is he a problem character?

Ahmad was having his mural painted DURING the first battle at the walled city, so he clearly knew the outcome. This would indicate that he tipped off Sidao regarding Marco's intel and helped set the trap that led to the Khan's failure. This also leads me to believe that he sent the initial assassin, as was implied…

"but Anna’s entirely off-screen presence prevents this tactic from being as effective for the audience as it is for Jarvis"

So I guess the prequel will focus on the formation of SAMCRO since this show has clearly turned into the destruction of it.

"In “Runaways,” I commented on the Luss family nanny, Neeva, being an example of the show’s intelligence problem, by choosing to simply kidnap Joan’s kids instead of calling someone who could help." Really? You literally just finished writing about how no one believes/cares about what's going on. "It’s not just the…

Its pretty obvious that the most recent episode didn't happen in "a few hours". They started with Eph eating breakfast and ended with Eph running out of the CDC at night. I appreciate what your'e trying to do but clean it up.

Man, you were so right. Brienne barely touched him.

Drogo was plainly killed by Mirri Maz Duur. Good bid though.

So you're saying he's gonna go "ouch, my neck I can't take it anymore" keel over and die? That plainly sounds like terrible television.

In the preview Arya and Sandor have a confrontation with someone. Brienne and Pod are heading that way and are aware of Arya's existence. In a pre-season interview Brienne says she bites someone's ear off (which clearly hasn't happened yet) and Sandor loses an ear in the fight when he is wounded. The Hound slowly…

Tywin dying on Father's Day hmmmm. Maybe that one week break had two purposes. Also, I'm pretty sure Brienne is going to be the one to mortally wound The Hound.

It's the most buzz worthy way to end the season. I think they will just show her, confirm its Cat, and then end the season. People will be talking for 41 weeks about what she could be doing.

Catelyn has been subtly mentioned in every episode this season. Stoneheart will end the season.
