And nary a a drop of blood or choking noise! That’s good drama!

Yeah, I didn’t think it was much of a punishment. I expect that there is information he felt Sam might understand. Kind of the Citadel version of the Miyagi method.

No invitation to the Slug Club for him :/ But I swear to you that the “Your reward for doing the astonishing thing is also to do some more work” line that Archmaester Slughorn popped off at the end was direct to you from a Harry Potter Book or Film. But I mean we know there’s some dope secrets in those scrolls right?…

“A sham marriage. Unconsummated.”

I dunno about the incest. Jon and Dany didn’t have any chemistry. But I don’t know if that’s more because of the actors (Clarke and Harrington are far, far from the greatest thespians on GoT) than the intentions of the writers

Why on earth would Randyll Tarly accept Sam over that? Everything he’s ever said about Sam has made clear how much he disdains erudition, and as a member of the Night’s Watch, Sam has renounced his claim to Horn Hill anyhow.

Ha! I just couldn’t help but think, Ice and Fire already met and had a baby named Pouty McPouterson.

It was definitely an episode that worked more when you compare it to the first two episodes of the season than it did in the context of the show as a whole.

Also, Dany loses her last allies because she’s constantly high on the smell of her own farts. “WHY ARE YOU NOT CALLING ME QUEEN RIGHT NOW WHAT IS THIS SHIT. I AM THE QUEEN. DID I NOT SAY THAT YET BECAUSE I AM. QUEEN.”

The radical inconsistencies in Dany’s arguments with Jon drove me nuts.

but in a fucking CANOE?

Is anyone else pissed off that Cersei in the books is basically a myopic schemer who’s consistently out of her depth, doesn’t foresee the consequences of her actions and believes to be way smarter than she really is, and yet in the show she has become this military mastermind who can outsmart Tyrion (arguably the…

The row boat was from the ship to the shore. There’s a scene where you see the ship in the harbor.

Um I’m sorry, are you forgetting the best song by a top model, this incredible ANTM ANTHEM?

“The Bible is a product of it’s time. Slaves were common in the ancient Mediterranean, so the Bible outlines how you should treat them.”

The commonality of it back in those days doesn’t change the fact that it was always morally wrong. And holy hell, the book makes it a point to condemn wearing mixed fabrics. How hard…

he is a man, he doesn’t need to know geography.

He got PTSD because he’s the worst. If he weren’t the worst in the first place, he’d never have ended up Reek. Therefore, despite Theon’s PTSD, he’s still the worst.

I took that scene very differently. Nymeria chose to stay with her pack, in the same episode that Arya decided rejoining hers was more important than trying to kill Cersei. It’s not that they’re both feral, it’s that they both chose their families.

I understand that and am sympathetic to his plight, I don’t think he had any other option last night. I still think he is, overall, just the worst.

AND WHY HASN’T ED SENT A RAVEN ABOUT BRAN. This kinda thing just bugs me so much. Why have Bran show up in Episode 1 if Jon and Sansa don’t get to hear about him until Episode 3 or 4? He’s got so much information about Uncle Hotface-Coldhands (neé Benjen), Cousin Jon Targaryn and the Night King (who seems to do an…
