Dang it! I knew I should have read farther before saying the same thing two days later.

Jon joining Team Dany to fight off the white walkers would be pretty cool. Jon and Aunt Dany teaming up, so to speak, would be icky, but in the Targaryen incest tradition. Jon killing Dany, stealing her dragons, and becoming king of the whole damn world at the end seems crazy, but possible.

And took her into a combat zone because his evil priestess girlfriend insisted! Last time I did that, I never heard the end of it.

Yes. This seems to indicate another trick in Mel's magical arsenal. It'll be interesting to see if it's some sort of communing with the dead, or clairvoyance, or mind reading, and if it falls more on the Lord of Light side or the hedge witch side of her powers.

The Experts reviews are pretty good, but still tend to get a bit too spoilery for me, and in ways that seem accidental, which makes me really nervous. I think Andy Greenwald's reviews on Grantland are great, and he's a fellow Unsullied.

I think the problem with this theory is Robert and Ned's roadside picnic in S1, on the way to KL. Robert seemed pretty blasé when asking Ned about Jon, and didn't seem — as I recall — to intent on getting the answer; more just curious and giving his old friend some shit. If he'd really raped Ned's sister, and…

Yeah, I really wish they'd given us just a hint of what Jorah's thinking. The whole "which Queen did he mean" reveal was a little too weak to justify the lack of clarity in Jorah's plan. Does he know Cersei has a bounty out on Tyrion? (Again, the problem of it being perpetually unclear how fast and widely information…

Probably only one, but in that brothel, what was there to tell Jorah that Tyrion was famous? He seemed pretty incognito, aside from that Red Priestess staring holes through him.

I read that as typical Littlefinger power play. He probably figured he could intimidate Ramsey (and Roose) into playing nice while he's gone. As one psychopath to another, I bet LF decided that Ramsey was more dangerous to Sansa if he didn't bully him a bit before he left.

I know, right? I like how so much of the show, and the history of Westeros, pivots around the idea of legitimate heirs to power, versus all the otherwise-capable bastards running around. If Joffrey had been Cersei and Robert’s child, or if their first child had lived to become king after Robert, almost everything in…

For that matter, what does Sansa know about Jon? Has anyone south of the Wall even heard about the wildling's attack or Stannis's army, let alone Jon becoming Lord Commander? It seems like it would have come up when Littlefinger was talking with Roose last episode, if they knew.

Now I'm worried that Brienne and Stannis will arrive at Winterfell at the same time and somehow screw it all up so that the Boltons win.

| The question is where the hell did Tommen the Good come from?
Exactly. Imagine that kid growing up with Cersei as mom, King Robert as "dad", and Joffrey as his older brother, plus all the Lannister wealth waiting in the wings. No way he turns out this sweet and oblivious.

As of last episode, Margery thought she had the whole situation covered.

And even when she bested Ned, she fucked it up by overestimating the odds of Joffrey not acting like a psychopath and screwing up the whole plan.

And poor, dead on the privy Tywin.

You have no idea how much I enjoy this feature. Bravo, sir, bravo.

At least you don't have to watch GoT while commenting on Silicon Valley. Because that would be crazy.

It has potential, but between this and demanding better terms from the Iron Bank, and sending Jaime on a hostage rescue, and whittling the small council down to herself and Dr. Qyburnstein, it all seems more likely to implode than work out well for her. It's like she has Tywin-caliber ideas but Ned-caliber execution.
