I don't know if she gets down to the nitty gritty of house lords.

I kind of liked the fact that Catelyn was not a straight-up likeable character. Too much goodness in one family would be dull.

That's what he's saying. And yeah, you'll be glad to know that in my household, the benefits of having an army that doesn't need to eat was a conversational topic directly after the episode was over.

I was thinking that myself. If you need exclamation points to prove you're angry, you're doing it wrong.

Seriously, though, isn't it possible he could just swim a distance of it? He's a fictional creature, it shouldn't be too much of a sell if it turns out he walked and swam alternately on the way to Castle Black. Though of course they don't get into it that deeply. (How awesome would the tsunamis caused by a giant…

Yeah, I had to clarify that in this scene for other watchers who assumed they were silent sisters. They look so grim and religious it's easy to ship them into the group of grim religious chicks we already know of.

I agree with el cabeza, but the writers deliberately did this to show that Sam's response to Ollie didn't satisfy his dislike of the Wildlings, which was the point of the scene. Sam only left the kid feeling more confused if anything. If Ollie had heard the sensible explanation we wanted, it might have meant he…

That would have been the smart play. But I don't know if Sam is always that smart. (Or the writers? I think they just wanted to shove it down our throats that Ollie doesn't agree with Sam, and in order to do this they made Sam sound soppier than he normally already is, and the wrong person to go to for advice.)

The vibe I got from the scene (I was watching with newbies, or show-only viewers) is that they haven't really remembered much about Ollie's attack on the Wildlings or him in general. I'm not sure why, but they seem to find him a periphery character that's easy to overlook. And I've got to admit, as a child actor, he…

Yeah, I don't think Ramsay knows that much about Melisandre and what she does. But I want to see Ramsay die soon, fun as his lunacy is. (Edit: "fun lunacy" meaning the character's way of speaking, not the rape part, or the flaying part. It's just that when they killed off Joffrey, he was so awful that I thought……

I don't know if any of these responses are helpful. Probably better at sorting comments by "best".

I thought the wildlings were kind of surprised by Tormund beating Rattleshirt to death. It seemed to drive respect for Tormund on an instant and sudden level. "He went there. He is our leader. Besides, I always found him likeable enough. Go Tormund."

Well, we have seen Jon kill a wight using fire in season 1. I think dragonfire is the perfect solution.

I thought the character was fine and my thought process stopped there. I don't fit into pro or anti-Karla positioning.

So you dug into shit and bananas grew out?

Yeah, true. Regardless of interpretation the whole scene did improve my regard for the Sand Snakes. It fleshed them out a bit more (especially Tyene, ping!) by establishing some kind of characteristics - all deadly (that's established), but Tyene is a bit more playful and sympathetic towards Bronn than the others.…

True. I can't recall properly, but I do wonder now if Stannis was cut off during this speech by Melisandre.
