Dear Dan, I'm a eunuch and I really like this girl, but I'm worried she won't like me because I have no balls. I do have a dick, and I'm capable of sexual attraction even though that's probably not medically possible.

I think the idea is that Cersei and the other Lannisters will want to defend their home, even if it means weakening King's Landing. Without knowing anything about Westeros geography, it sounds like a decent strategy.

How can you not like Yara, you monster? Okay, she's fairly two-dimensional, but she's still awesome.

Hot Pie! That made me so happy. Until he said something about being a survivor. After that, I was surprised he was still alive at the end of the scene, and my assumption is he died as soon as Arya left his inn…

I think the idea was to prove Oleanna right about the (non)wisdom of listening to intelligent men rather than doing your own thing. Even though Tyrion's track record has been pretty good, and without the aid of dragons.

Yeah, I don't know what people expected him to do. Charge at Euron so that he slit Yara's throat?

The bigger question is how a fleet of a thousand ships sneaks up on anyone. I know Yara and Theon were below decks paying no attention whatsoever, but surely they would have had lookouts who could have warned them before the enemy ships literally ran into them?

It's ambiguous where she's going. You don't know she's heading away from Winterfell any more than they know that she's going there.

Man, that better not be true.

Two? I'm told that's the standard number.

I agree, except for the (literal) cut to the food close up. I don't know if it was supposed to be funny or just gross, but either way it was completely the wrong tone.

Yes, because obviously that was my assumption about what had happened, not that the dog and Sophie Turner went on to live separate lives.

Yeah, the Wikipedia page on tarring and feathering refers to some politician being tarred and feathered at least twice, so clearly it wasn't always fatal. Most contemporary references talk about it more as a humiliation than something which would do serious damage.

Only one person got killed in Dahmer's childhood home. It's not really the same thing.

There's sympathy in there. Clearly Dahmer had a choice about killing people, but he didn't choose to be nuts, and as a teenager he comes across as horribly tormented by his own mind.

The biggest thing from the book is that all his teachers remembered Dahmer as basically normal, even after they found out what he'd done later. According to Backderf, he was very not normal. Although having said that, when someone told him someone from his school was a serial killer, Dahmer was his second guess…
