At least the Faceless Men don't make shitty steaks you can only buy at a home goods store.

Arya was literally accomplished nothing in Braavos since she left at the end of Season 3 (which, interestingly enough, was the last time people were freaking out about LSH possibly appearing, which is happening again).

It's funny. I never truly believed in Cleganebowl, just because I couldn't see the processes that could lead to it happening. It almost seemed too neat an idea for GRMM to have the brothers square off. But this episode marked the first time I might have crossed over into believers' territory. And I must say, I'm not…

This is without even getting into how Jon is only alive because Davos made a plea to Melisandre on a hunch.

"Have you ever read The BFG? Like that, but he smears walls with the blood of his enemies."

"We'll give you…62 good bears."
"Aw come on, I could get more bears than that on a Saturday night at Lord Renly's!"

Haha, "Nun Ratchet".

If I hadn't been reading excerpts from World of Ice and Fire the other night, I'd have been right there with you on this. But the book notes that Kingsguard often had other duties that weren't necessarily related to defending the king. Basically, a Kingsguard could be sent out on any assignment that could take him any…

I wonder if Jaqen's "A girl has many gifts" line from tonight indicates that he knows she can warg, and knows better than she does what she's capable of doing?

You know, all boob talk aside, I really would have liked to have seen if the High Sparrow would have been right about the populace being kinder to Margaery than they were to Cersei.

I imagine so, especially if she makes some kind of marriage alliance with Sweetrobin. It'd be gross because, hey, it's a guy who's barely five years removed from sucking milk out of his mother's tits. But, if nothing else, he couldn't be any worse of a husband than Ramsay.

I completely forgot Lancel was even alive until the camera panned to him tonight.

I loved "Across the Sea", but mostly because I wasn't married to any of the theories that were being debunked in the episode. I also enjoyed the story for what it was.

"You'll need a thousand ships, at the very least, to take these unwaveringly loyal people across the Narrow Sea with you."

"Come on! It's nice and warm! It's the closest thing we have to coffee, North of the Wall!"

I can understand the respect for Martin that would compel them to do that, but they only have but so many episodes left, so I'd imagine if they have a place to get to, they're better off getting there sooner rather than later.

Hmmm…good point. I think, in the moment, a lot of viewers would see it as something worth pumping their fists and cheering about. But it would start to turn into something far darker and far less worthy of celebration, sooner rather than later, essentially proving that this isn't something we should have ever wanted.…

It'd be interesting, although I feel like if Margaery wanted Cersei gone, she'd help the Faith find someone who could actually win the Trial.

I would totally be down for an entire episode of nothing but expositional Bran flashbacks, in the style of "Blackwater" or "The Watchers on the Wall".

I'd be down for it, although I really don't think the Faith's champion will be The Hound. I could see them setting up Loras for that position, now that there's an alliance between the Crown and the Faith.
