I completely forgot Littlefinger was playing around with an army off-screen. That makes sense.

Yeah, I know they are weak and distracted right now and I can see someone like Tyrion or Olenna holding back but Cersei is unstable and violently obsessive. Maybe I am conflating TV and book Cersei too much, though.

Signing it "Stark" does not signal "take me back husband Bolton".

I was just thinking how not only out of character it is for them to let Myrcella's assassination go, it's also very bad politics. I'm not saying WWI needs to happen but a few heads on a pike is prudent or people will get the idea you can just kill royalty and get away with it… Lanisters aside, of course.

The reviewer might be right. Eh, same continent, right? Stranger things have happened.
Did anyone notice whether the ladies of negotiable affections had teardrop tattoos? I know that's only slaves but it would be confirmation.

Nah, she's going to run into Theon somehow and make it to Mereen.
We should give her a bit of a break, she's still really just a kid. I say that, but… Where was Needle, though? She going to walk around with a target on her back without her sword? Now that's out of character. Unless she thought the Faceless Man's threat…

Sansa could be writing to Howland Reed. They have men down there in the marshes, and women, though they aren't suit-of-armor types. But maybe some poison arrows are just the ticket when you are outmatched.
Second guess: She's writing to Robin Arryn, maybe even signaling her availability for marriage since he's so into…

A million times upvote.

I'd love that.

I think her expression on the steps confirmed that she had been plotting her and Loras' escape and, if she can ride that tiger, the church will be a major source of power for her.
I also probably misread the look at first because I immediately started shipping Margaery and Jaime. That would be almost too cruel to…

He does have the dark Baratheon hair

Much prefer politics and character development. I'm so over the frozen zombie hordes and dragon-mouth closeups. Snore.

He was pretty stoked about that alliance, though. He might only remember about her that she was heavy enough to cost a pretty penny when he bought that alliance but he remembers the Boltons, no doubt.

Do we know that for sure?

My hope is that Brienne kills Frey and restores some of her honor there.
I was hoping that theory that Howland Reed = The High Sparrow and getting revenge/restoring the nation for his ol' buddy Ned was true but the HS actor is too old to be Reed, unless he's pulling off some face-switching mumbo jumbo.

Right, I said the same thing last week. Maybe we aren't seeing it but it really just looks like a targeted campaign.

You know there's a Newbies version of these reviews so you don't have to be inundated with book spoilers and comments, right? This one is explicitly for the book readers.

In the show, Ramsay will drag Rickon out in chains to gloat in from of the Night's Watch army and quiet little Rickon will savagely hack Ramsay to death in front of everyone and be like, "No, I'M Lord of Winterfell, bitch."

It is known.

They didn't kill him off and they ain't gonna 'splain, it'll be glossed over :/
