The whole show has been setting up the idea of sacred oaths being impractical and even immoral since the moment Ned Stark executed a young man for fleeing in terror from a group of horrifying monsters that are a threat to the entire world. The guy was a witness to the show's real enemies and our hero Ned killed him…

Exactly. Nothing ever goes right for the Starks. That's a show rule, along with Theon is a punching bag.

Well, there's certainly a lot of oath breaking in this show, not just the episode. Hmm, maybe it's trying to say cut and dry oaths don't always make sense in a complicated mucked up world? Surely the poor zombie fleeing dude who had his head cut off in episode one might think so. Or Robb. Or Jon. Or Jaimie. Or the…

While Tyrion is made of awesome, I still think Sansa is going to be crestfallen that she gets him instead of the Knight of the Flowers. At first, anyway. But I trust Tyrion to at least be good to her.

It occurs to me that had Renly not been killed, this whole war would have been over. Robb doesn't have the political mind that Renly has, and Renly didn't have the military mind that Robb has. Had they teamed up, they could have taken out Stannis then tag teamed the Lannisters. Sansa might have gotten to marry Loras,…

I also felt that Robb was reacting specifically to the fact that Karstark killed two young boys, who were also valuable hostages but largely innocent. It's a callback to Theon's stupidity in killing the fake bran and rickon.

Jon Snow and Loras both got to have some real pleasure this week, and I get the feeling both will suffer for it. Yes, it's more obvious since Loras's new, dreamy lover is a Littlefinger plant, but I have a feeling Jon's conflicted loyalties are going to cause nothing but pain for him and Ygritte.

I would love to see Jinkx do Dany and Alaska do Margaery Tyrrel in a sketch.

It's the killing his own men that I find implausible. I'm sure that either the torturers or the mysterious helper are Boltons, but I'm not entirely convinced yet that they are all working together because of the death of the would be rapist and his men, but do we even know (and I haven't watched the scene since it…

I realize that they were trying to show that Roxxxy's meanness was a mind game, but it still registered as mean onscreen. If that's the pageant world and likeable doesn't matter, well, that's not what I want in my winner. Both Alaska and Jinkx are likable, and Alaska even made her readings of the others playful.

Last night, I thought Jinkx's runway look was a homage to my other favorite AV Club Show, Game of Thrones. She was giving some serious Daenerys Targaryen realness.

Lots of people are speculating that charismatic Misfits guy is Bolton's bastard, which I can buy. He got key information out of Theon and then took him straight back to his torturers. However, he didn't seem to be working with the torturers, what with his pretending he didn't spring Theon in the first place and…

My money's on the man who will likely rise up and unite the black watch and the wilding army and save the north from White Walkers, Jon Snow.

I love that she's jealous of the Starks for having a more ominous catchphrase.

So, the charismatic servant/guy who screwed with Theon's head (who's more than likely far more than a servant) now knows two key pieces of information. Less important but still relevant is that Theon regrets betraying the Starks and no longer feels loyalty to his bio dad. Most importantly, he knows that Bran and…

I've never seen The Misfits, but Iwan Rheon has a great deal of charisma and it was on display.

There's also the fact that Loras expected Renly to make babies with his sister, so I figure Loras could step up to the plate if need be.

Theon remains the world's punching bag. Seriously, I think his savior was working for his father all along.

Me too, but I'm pretty sure that admission got him back on the screw torture thing. I have a feeling his savior worked for his father.

I hope Tywin and Arya get to meet again, under better circumstances. I think he respected her, probably more than all three of his children.
