I think that Ramsey proved Jon's weakness for his family a while back.

The sudden dearth of Freys is, actually, the one thing that is reasonable.

Yes, but Clarke's eyebrows have a mind of their own. Have you ever seen her move those things?

How about eschatological instead? The whole point of GoT is to tell yet another end of the world story.

The maesters are a—holes through and through. Book-wise but lacking real world experience, it appears. Thousands of years and no discernible progress in any scientific or technical area in the whole of Westeros.

Except for the Nymeria thing, I agree.

By all means, use it. But it better be a punk band.

— "Caesar, beware of the Ides of March."
— "What?"
— "Dude! Cassius and Brutus, along with a whole bunch of conspiring senators are going to kill you if you meet them unarmed without bodyguards. Is that better?"
— "Yes!"

It reminds me of how annoying I found Doogie Howser M.D., the one and only time that i watched it. The kid was desperate to save an E.R. patient but lost him anyway, thus leading to a frustration tantrum and adult crisis of faith. It was insufferable.

Not really Stark men though. They're just borrowed.

After Jon's complete mishandling of the battle, leading them to almost certain slaughter, they should know better. Too bad that, in a feudal society, you are just screwed if you stay and screwed if you leave.

Where did Jon's knights come from? Does he have any of his own? At the
Battle of the Bastards he seemed to have very few left. Are the men at
Winterfell, mostly Littlefinger's Knights of the Vale, or borrowed from
other houses? Or are armies in GoT's magically regenerated like Euron's
armada?

"Yeah, and take your army of the Vale with you. I don't need it anymore because I'm such a great tactician who never lets others force me into unwise actions or ambushes."

Couldn't tell the difference. Sort of like last episode. Was that soup being poured into a bowl that looks suspiciously like an old-timey bed pan or just plain old diahrretic effluence?

The old byzantine plotting, which made the early show a delight is long gone in favor of wild action scenes and plot devices / tropes.

The whole attraction of Got to a lot of people was the realistic byzantine plotting. Now, they are just rushing out action scenes and plot devices to keep things on edge.

There are Too Many (freaking) Cooks on this show already.

It's OK, unlike Shireen, the greyscale hasn't touched his handsome face.

Westeros is their biggest client. That accountant had one job!
