Or am I wrong? Even the "experts" seemed to think it was Winterfell. Confused.

Apparently I was wrong when I insisted on another board that Sansa hasn't come to Winterfell yet - I thought she was at Moat Caillin. Was I wrong? The serving woman would still have said "The North remembers." If she was at Winterfell, she would say "Welcome home, my lady." Wouldn't she?

Just saying, those scenes with the Boltons and Reek are in Moat Caillin, not Winterfell.

And as a book reader, I have had to warn my son, who couldn't resist availing himself of the first 4 leaked episodes, NO SPOILERS! Because even though I'm more or less abreast of things in the Great Reread, I have no idea of what B&W have in store for us.

Jonathan Pryce - died in Wolf Hall just in time to be resurrected here. Good work! :)

Actually, my daughter and I sighed in agreement when we realized that an entire season of happy life at Lallybroch was never anything the network would greenlight, but it was something we thought we could live with for a while. My daughter tells her partner, "Wanna come watch that show that makes me disappointed in…

Now I know how the ancients must have felt watching the Library of Alexandria burn. Oh, the humanity!

Thanks, @Overthinker. Going a little deeper than I had time for and than I could remember off the top of my head.

I assume they've done their research, but the church looks a little more 12th than 9th or 10th century to me. Not convinced there would have been stained glass windows of that quality - I think architecture was still soundly Romanesque. On the other hand, now we know that Rollo founded Normandy. :)

My main quibble is that it was never actually made clear to me why Joe pled not guilty in the first place. What, exactly, was he trying to prove? And since they never ran a flashback of the events of that night, I don't remember exactly how it happened either. So I kept expecting them to take us back to it and perhaps…

Good points, all. And you're probably right. In fact, I hope so.

I don't think he can do it with his assets. They are assets. Not friends. I do see a possibility that he can fool himself into thinking he can have a normal life somehow, but maybe I'm wrong. I just see him falling apart in emotional ways that would make him vulnerable. And who knows where that could take us. Only the…

I really hope you're right, but seldom in TVland does being honest about emotions constitute nothing more than friendship. Although I could see this being one-sided and uncomfortable. The reason I see Phillip being able to spill more emotional beans to Sandra is that they would be entirely uncomplicated by the spy…

Well, yeah. There's that.

I hope you're right. I hope I'm just reading the beginning of too many TV tropes into these two meetings. I wasn't too worried at the first scene, because I remembered that oh, yeah, she's already hooked up with someone. Then she tells Phillip that maybe she shouldn't have moved so fast. And that whole "let's make a…

"Look, part of what I love about this particular take on the DC universe it its willingness to embrace its essential CW-ness." And that's what has my eyes on a perpetual roll - the housebuddy is a fan, but I still remember the day I gave up Vampire Diaries and deleted it from the DVR Q. OMFG! CW-ness. And, thinking…

What struck me the most - Philip trying a little EST with his wife - tell her everything he feels - and then she sees Reagan on TV, hears the name of her beloved country, hears it called evil, and Philip knows where her love lies, where her commitment lies. He knows who he can't tell everything to.

"where did he make that thing, and out of what?" - Almost word for word what I asked the housebuddy. And just for the record, my birth name is Bates. And this is the second TV bad guy recently named Bates. I'm not even sure Mr. Bates in Downton Abbey is as innocent as he claims. I'm starting to take it personally.

(a) He confessed to the murder. (b) There's a lesson here somewhere about bringing a certain kind of justice *to* a people when the people themselves have no say in the matter. What kind of "trial" would it have been, anyway? A jury of his peers? Or a decision by the queen? And is this one of the questions about the…

I wouldn't call either one of the "great," but the first couple of books were very good reads. My daughter likes to call Outlander the book that will forever doom her significant other to romantic failure. It is one of the few "romances" that I actually enjoyed because I, too, against my better judgment and ideal…
