I'll bet she had some other historical reason for hating the Starks.

Duh, the medicine was MAGICAL! This is a show of dragons and zombie resurrection, after all.

No! You are a terrible fan unless you wildly speculate beyond what you actually see in the show or the books, and then become disappointed when your theory isn't validated!

Well, technically the face came off his body as well…

Those Starks are made of sturdy stuff.

There was some method to his madness forcing her to watch a play in which her father was portrayed publicly as a buffoon. It was meant to stir up emotions, either as a test or as a reminder of who she is and her family honor.

What does this guy have against people's heads???

It would be good therapy for the Hound to work out his childhood issues.

No, he's actually working undercover for Jaquen, and ripping his face off was a "subtle" hint.

No socks either!

Bababooey! Was I really the only one thinking this???

You would say that, Lannister!

I suppose, but hasn't ultra-violence always been a hallmark of the show? I think they actually showed uncharacteristic restraint by having several of the deaths take place off screen. I guess my position boils down to my opinion that the violence on the show has been consistently ridiculous: )

And then they were rescued by, oh, let's say, Moe.

Because she can fly a lot faster than it takes the entire army to sail there?

Maybe it wasn't his plan, but he still likes the result.

Or Dany sends the dragon away for some reason (maybe it takes too many spears or something).

How about "Clegane Family therapy and reconciliation "?

Yes, Even in the Mountain head-ripping scene they covered it up. Bastards! : )

Yes, dragon and zombie violence should be more realistic.
