On the other hand, she basically goes to heaven in their religious beliefs, right? And he may have thought everyone would starve if he didn't do it.

I really thought Hizdahr was behind the betrayal so watching him get shivved was a welcome surprise.

I guess Euron and Victarion didn't have enough breasts?

I always sensed Stannis had some level of resentment towards Shireen in the books. She's A. Not a Boy and B. Not great marriage material because of her scarring. I wonder if people are reacting to this more because show-Stannis has at times seemed more nuanced and emotional, whereas book-Stannis is pretty obviously an…

Killing your own brother with dark magic isn't already a biiiit darksided?

My eyes kind of glazed over for the Dorne chapters in general. Ellaria seducing everyone was really dull. I found Darkstar to be hilarious. He's this smug douchebag who's set up to be this hardcore badass and he only succeeds in slightly mutilating a little girl. Good job, Darkstar!

Dude is just THIRSTY. He's also pretty much burned all his bridges. He can't go back to Westeros. He has nothing left there. His Dad's dead. He has a lethal disease. He's just on a suicide jag at this point.

I really doubt she'll seduce him. His bros have already confirmed being all about the oysters. I bet she'll just slip in and poison the whole lot, and then become Blind Beth.

His wife would probably off HERSELF for the red god. She's a maniac. Also, maybe she'll kill herself out of grief, since she went so fast from 'Yeah, burn her, IT'S THE BEST!" to "NO I DIDN"T THINK THIS THROUGH!~"

I wonder if Davos will off Stannis. He's gonna be pisssssssed.

That fight scene at the end was pretty great. I like the addition of Tyrion to the cast of that, and it seemed to play out less clunky than the books. And while I'm sad to miss out on Tyrion riding a pig, cutting the other dwarf girl was the right choice. The Harpies just going nuts and shanking EVERYONE was great.…

Vanessa's ball dress was uhhhhhhhhmazing. I was cringing with fashion lust the entire time she was onscreen. Those feathery shoulder caps. The lace I just I can't even oh my god.

Different handmaiden, I think. I don't remember super good because I listened to the books as audiobooks up until the last one and it is really hard to keep a straight face and pay attention when Roy Dotrice (who had a cameo as the crazy wildfire pyromancer) is narrating a sex scene.

Nah, they still have primary male love interests. They just make out with other ladies when they're lonely. It's pointless attempted tittilation.

Ginger reminded me a lot of Darienne Lake. Both funny, kind of boring in the fashion department and neurotic and bitter about their weight. It's unfortunate, because both are funny and beautiful.

I'm not happy about the shows overall changes to the books, but the lack of gratuitous lesbian recreation from Cersei/Dany is a plus. Not that there's anything wrong with lesbian recreation in general buuuuuuuut… yeah.

I don't really get this. The event wasn't eroticized, happened offscreen, was unequivocally shown as grim and awful, and for that matter what happened in the novel to the girl who Sansa is replacing was much much worse. Sansa clearly hasn't been emotionally destroyed by it and is mentally plotting revenge. What else…

Huh. My eyes are always open when I get sleep paralysis. I used to get it fairly frequently and it is terrible. They would often be preceded by dreams where I couldn't move, which seemed to last hours. The waking paralysis was initially spent trying and failing to scream, and later after I got relatively used to it,…

Thank god you've finally attained closure to such a critical issue. The struggle is real.

I've never dated a guy with bad fashion sense but I could only have loved that sketch more if there was an analogue of the shoe room from the Holocaust museum that was just a mountain of Fedoras.
