That was a total "My friends, you bow to no one" moment, where I had to grab a tissue and turn away from the people with whom I was watching.

As horrible as it probably is to say, I found it weirdly cathartic when Cersei was tormenting Septon Unella.

There's a lot of things Dany was supposed to need, but I'd really rather she just got her ass moving, already.

Strangely enough, the moment that most affected me was Sansa and Jon on the battlements.

I feel like if Olenna knew Ellaria's gameplan for vengeance, which basically amounts to getting vengeance against those who wronged your family by killing more members of your own family, she'd have looked for help elsewhere.

I mean, Frey Pie does happen in the books.

Some non-book readers I know have no fucking clue who Rhaegar is. It's embarrassing.

The fact that the baby's name was never spoken makes me feel like people are still going to refuse R+L=J as canon, and claim the transition to Jon was simply a clever editing trick.

I'm not surprised we didn't get much of Sam again, but I clung to a small hope.

To the Northerners, he killed the shit out of the Boltons on the field of battle. Since the Boltons were the traitors who helped make the Red Wedding happen, Jon is seen as having avenged the Stark name.

The music was so different and wonderful. Truly eerie and portentous. I absolutely loved it.

And here I am, waiting on the film adaptation of Devil In the White City, when it was already adapted 45 years ago!

I've been a big fan of Sara since her Sex and Other Human Activities podcast years ago. I'm really hoping she gets more notice.

That, in itself, is a kind of surprise.

It only ever happens in Thrones. Even when The Walking Dead tops 1000 comments, this doesn't happen. So annoying.

Rickon died as irrelevantly as he lived.

Lady Mormont

The fact that I don't want to give him a hand at all is testament to how good he was at making Ramsay the vilest creature on television.

I now find myself in the strange position of wondering how GRRM will top that in the books. More than anything I've seen this season, this episode was the one that pretty much put me in the camp of no longer really caring about TWOW.

"Can I touch your boobsh naoh?"
