If by "playing with time frame" you mean the show does the the occasional flashback, then yes, it's playing with time frame.

I don't think every character's musings are, and certainly not in every situation.

It was an immediate family member and you didn't feel anything at all??

So, do we think Angela was heading into that dinner hoping she would sleep with her boss? Where did that come from?

He's got the monotone existence down so well that anything he does that isn't super muted is immediately unnerving. Smiling, laughing, even yelling—all throws me for a loop when he starts up.

OH SHIT YES. I was super pumped after this episode and looking for somewhere to talk about it. I was so sad when they stopped coverage of it on AV Club

I miss Gideon already. Everyone else is terrible :(

Sure, but like he said, it's not something she can just tune out. No matter how much it isn't your fault (or how much they may deserve it), you still feel pangs of guilt for facilitating the destruction of someone else's life.

I disagree. It was actually a poorly written monologue, delivered with all the panache of a high school senior who just realized why going to church every Sunday sucks. To me it reflected the idea that as much as Elliot wants to feel like he's figured it out, hacked the system in a way/sees something that the rest…

For 10 seconds? It wouldn't have been that big of a deal.

Not that she was redeemable up to this point, but she's straight-up a mass murderer now. I love Lena Headey with the fire of a thousand suns, but I am so ready for Cersei to get everything that's coming to her that I CANNOT CONTAIN MYSELF.

These are all fair points. I think I struggled with it because he hasn't shown himself to be stupid. Arrogant, yes, but always one step ahead. It seems weird that he wouldn't have been the least bit disconcerted.

I mean—there's no way she could have KNOWN he was going to commit suicide. If she 100% wanted him dead, she would have let him go to the trial and not had The Mountain stop him. Maybe she was hoping for it, but if she was counting on his death, that's not the best way to go about it.

But also the High Sparrow was dumb as fuck. Margaery's reasoning made total sense. Cersei wasn't there. The king wasn't there. That wasn't random chance. Why he wasn't listening to reason, I couldn't understand.

It didn't occur to me that she would be there so soon, especially while still needing her guts to be sewn up, but yeah…it was still pretty satisfying. Though very dark. How many people has Arya straight up murdered/assassinated the last couple seasons?

I mean—we've still got a lot of familiar faces to work with. Cersei, Jamie, Theon, Yara, Jon, Sansa, Bran, Arya, Littlefinger, Varys, Tyrion, Daenerys, etc etc. Still a lot of mileage to get out of characters from the first couple seasons.

Uh…you mean he?

Was it just me, or did that opening singing sound decidedly more…modern?

Though that's a nifty idea, I think it would have totally thrown the viewer out of the show, as they haven't done anything like that on the series up until this point

When he was literally 50 yards away from Jon, I was like…come on kid. You're so far from Ramsay. Get on the ground and fucking crawl the last few feet. He'll barely be able to see you, let alone hit you.
