That's what I thought.

"It was me, Cersei. The author of all your pain."

I hate the Sandsnakes, and liked Myrcella. Cercei's revenge is her single greatest act of the entire series to date.

Cersei's wig is giving Season 1 Tyrion's a run for its money.

After decades of success teaching kids to be tolerant now it's only cool if you're intolerant because that's the rebel nature. We've come a long way but questioning/ upsetting the status quo seems to be more important than having convictions. Kanye went from calling Bush out to meeting with Trump - whatever pisses the…

They'd need to do a whole season pushing a sincere, pro-liberal agenda - in story, content and tone - to really make their audience uncomfortable. Imagine watching South Park and hearing compassion? Would shock the shit out of everyone.

She needs to be riding a wolf.

The siege of Winterfell is probably my favourite part of that book. There's business going on at Storm's End and/or Dragonstone that's kind of similiar too. It could make great TV

No more Boltons.

I guess if the Starks had any actual close heirs or a big family tree, it would make the series a lot less compelling.

All these houses being reduced to rubble, it really makes you wonder how any single one of them could claim to have stood for 1-8000 years. There are almost no Tyrells, Martells, Arryns, Tullys or Baratheons left.

I've always wondered what TV reviews would look like if people were tasked with watching TV seasons from passed the midway point.

That's too elaborate for this show.

Or, the crossbow is being set up as a love interest for Grey Worm.

He gave them enough but, like the Iron Islands, they were introduced far too late. To give them justice would require more time and money than the show probably feels they're owed, at least in contrast to its principal cast.

Feels like a scene born out of frustration that none of the main cast members will remove their tops.

At no point before this episode has the show actually felt like it was written by fans from a Season 4 newbies review comment section. But here we are.

I am torn: the scene was bad. But two of the Sand Snakes died. So… *shrug*

3) "Milk of the poppy? What's that?" ~ the writer's room

The same last week with Sam and the dragonglass. The showrunners have no faith in their audience with this mindless exposition.
