I mean, yeah, it is mostly based on it being Qyburn's project, and that we've seen him develop a poison this season hortly before/while he was developing the scorpion. Maybe it's not a thing but I think it's likely. Dany needs to know her dragons aren't the trumpcard she thinks they are, it'll make things interesting.

Those are the ways that HBO writes their episode summaries on HBO Now, but I don't know when they're publicly available. THAT SAID I recall that the entire season's episode summaries were part of a leak earlier this year.

I know it's part of a 'bet' but Qyburn having poisoned the arrow is still just an (extremely likely) fan theory, but it's stated as known fact in the detail.

Yeah the Boltons were holding the North for the Crown, so attacking the Boltons = attacking the Crown.

This is promising. I felt like Clair Foy's portrayal in the first season was almost TOO understated most of the time, and it looks like she's ready to very politely boss up this season.

I know someone who has a nearly phobic negative response to velvet and the sensation of touching it.

I mean, it's not like filmmakers haven't been coming up with scenes based on fantasy/impossible-in-real-life circumstances for a century, but it was very nicely done.

Fair point that she probably shouldn't have taken him back — but he kind of framed the whole thing as a one-time accident and she probably interpreted his honesty as a good sign — which I admit to have fallen into the trap of in the past.

Which is why she doesn't get more angry with him than she did. But "come meet my entire family as my date" is a very public thing that he agreed to do.

Is your reasoning that if it weren't for Sansa, Ned Stark wouldn't have died?

Look, in the progression of *any* relationship, someone's got to offer things that take it up a level if they want it to go somewhere. Someone's got to be the first to offer dinner on a weeknight, someone's gotta be the first to invite them to the family function, etc. And the other party is free to say yes or no and…

Recording a few half hour episodes could be done in like… a couple weeks. It's not a full time job is all I'm saying.

The Pataki spin-off concept was them in their late teens. And voice acting is so lucrative for comparatively little work, I don't see why she wouldn't.

He's gonna have to fight Sansa for the claim to citrusy desserts, now.

I think it can be said that Parks was overall a more 'positive' show than The Office, so I think it depends on if you're judging quality by number of good jokes or general storytelling/liking the characters.

Yeah it would be better depicted as a bar chart, not a trend line.

I think it's more like smelling the dish while it's being cooked.

That makes sense. I was wondering why Jaime didn't snap and stab or cut her, but if she was already dead then that settles it.

He could have started off with "so I'm a warg" which *is* something that's familiar to most Northfolk, and then added that he got a promotion due to turnover.

They may have overdone it but I think it served to demonstrate that as much as Sansa ever hoped for a reunion with her siblings, they've all been through too much and changed too much for it to be how she hopes. This is really a soft impact compared to how freakin' weird Arya's going to be whenever she shows up.
