I read it as Robyn showing up to see what Sansa's doing; Baelish has his network of spies ready to alert him when anything interesting happens; Lysa showed up after Robyn ran to tell her Sansa had slapped him. Coincidental, yes, but not too much of a stretch.

I think The Mountain was just supposed to be practicing his etudes or something. A little daily workout to keep the chops fresh.

The implication was that the warlocks had become a lot more powerful all of the sudden… around the time Dany's dragons were hatched nearby.

" I look forward to that smug idiot Thorne getting torn in half by a giant or something. "

We'll probably come to find out that the older sister gave Cersei a dirty look, like 30 years ago, and she's been biding her time waiting for a Bronn to come along. A Lannister pays her debts.

ADDDAAAAMMMMMSSSSS!!!

Seriously, though, this raises a good point. What the fuck are those benches for?

Hot Pie's unlikely cameo would seem to open the door to all kinds of reappearances like this.

Totally agree. It was like an even more concise version of Jaime's explanation to Brienne about why he killed the Mad King. Lots of character redemption from just a small retelling of previously stated facts.

You could certainly be right; I've misread these things by a mile before.

And then a shot of Littlefinger and Sansa giving each other a high five.

The HBO CEO of Dicks is really asserting himself this season.

You had me at "crossbows", but that "…even if" is just fantastic.

And then once they announced who it was, the whole scene felt like a big meta flashing arrow immersion killer. I guess they had to do something to mark the transition — going from Daario 1 to 2 without a blip was equally weird — but it's a flaw in an otherwise great episode.

On the other hand, Cersei probably knew she had to make an offer Tyrion couldn't match, in which case straight cash wasn't going to cut it. She used her influence to give Bronn something better than gold. Possibly including an offer to help dispense with the older sister — something Tyrion probably wouldn't do.

Yet again, I'm glad it's a little up arrow instead of the word "Like".

Maybe now that he's inside the Bloody Gate, he doesn't give a shit? Who's going to come after him? The Lannisters just blew all their money on the last war, as he knows better than anyone, Stannis seems pretty fixed on getting King's Landing first, and the North is a chaotic mess. This might be the end of his…

"I'll never breastfeed again….!"

Lysa goes screaming out the Moon Door: cue Curb Your Enthusiasm theme song.

"Maybe Martin ends up throwing a curve-ball by letting one live for a little while for once though."
