A large reason Cersei burned down the tower of the hand was because she believed Tyrion was still crawling around in there.

Given the backlash (justified or not) about this shows use if rape (intentionally or not) in the past, I'd say they would definitely be shy about it right now. Which is exactly why I think it was shot the way it was. I even assume there was a direct "don't make it rapey" note to the director to get plausible deny…

They still have seasons at regular intervals. Winter and summers and springs. Its just that some Winters have historically lasted a long time because…magic.

You're right that there is no suggestion of rape or pending rape in the scene as shot. He just stands there and the door shuts. But of course it is quite natural and understandable that people jump to that conclusion. Its implied because…its Gregor Clegane. What do you think hes going to do? What do you think Cersei…

Honestly, the only way to salvage her decision to withhold that info is because either she is full on evil wanting all the power and actually planning Jon's demise or that she's just an idiot still completely naive and helpless to littlefingers littlefingering and got played by him. Either way, not great for her…

Bronn found her in Tywins camp though. So its possible she was his whore even back then. Which would put another spin on his demand that Tyrion would not "bring his whore to court"

Isn't it far more interesting if she were in love though? If Tyrion suggested it and she rejected it and wrestled with the decision and actually made a real personal sacrifice, would that not be superior to discarding an obsolete dildo with a shrug in favor of a throne ahe previously decided she didn't give a shit…

I thought it was a bit lazy that Lyanna Mormont just repeated her cool line. Especially because they dont even make sense in this context. "…only one king in the north whose name is stark" er, this ones name is snow.

He trained her not trust people who were only "half-brothers" apparently. And by "trained" I of course mean, mentioned one time.

Ramsey's "smarter" plan consists of him giving away almost all of his advantages even before the battle begins, intentionally, by meeting them outside the walls. Then risking his most valuable hostage on a rediculous game of hail mary arrow shot. The least likely outcome of that nonsense was that he'd nail a perfect…

Honestly, this kind of Sansa apologist stuff is really irritating. Her actions, or lack thereof in this episode are indefensible. All you can do is make the argument that, no she isn't just a total idiot, she is in fact a cold blooded piece of shit…and also pretty dumb. I don't think either of those positions are…

Jon Snow doing something stupid is very true to character, sure. Well established in the show and the source material. Its part of his nature. He has always done the noble thing against all common sense and he's always gotten away with it. So there would be no reason for him to change that now.

Yes, Ramsey teleporting in and out of the yard at Winterfell was extremely cheap.

In fairness, Neil Marshall wasn't afforded nearly as much time nor budget as Sopchnik.

He does. Its better than Eccleston's stab at one, technically, but also might be more off putting hearing it come out of this particular mouth.

Now that Bronn is headed out of town…sure, take off & nuke the site from orbit. Its the only way to be sure.

"Fuck, we're ALL sinners"

Jaime fought ignobly, Jaime fought dishonerably, Jaime fought incompetently. And Jaime is still alive.

Just playing Devils advocate here, but Lancel gave himself over to the church completely. There's no need to punish him. He's already humbled before God. I'm sure if Cersei wanted to become a sparrow she could have avoided the Walk too.

She hasn't done much work, so its hard to really judge at all.
