Yeah, thank goodness they offed Joffrey when they did. He'll always be an evil coward, but he was OUR evil coward!

Did we see Ghost this episode? You'd think he'd be glued to Jon like white on rice.

On the one hand, the fact that we didn't see Rickon worries me, like maybe he's already dead.

She and Varys shared a meaningful look, so I assume she has the situation well in hand.

Dunk the Lunk, thick as a castle wall!

Now that there is just the one, can we commence to calling him The Bolton?

Yeah, in the books, her encounter with the Dothraki seems like she is in a place of strength, like she's setting the terms.

In the post episode talk from D&D, they seemed to be really into the idea that Dany "did it herself" with no help from Team Dany or the dragons, so perhaps when it all goes down in the books, there will be a dragon assist.

I think The Iron Throne will be blown to smithereens by the end.

Is there *any* chance that Varys was murdering the various masters while Tyrion, Missandei and Grey Worm were in the throne room?

I just think their main impetus is moving from plot setpiece to plot setpiece with not much regard for the connective tissue.

Last night, I watched Netflix's mini-series "Residue," in which Iwan Rheon and Natalia Tena are lovers. So it was a bit of a gear shift tonight.

Someone's got to keep the Beautiful Death posters coming.

So what was Jon going to do if Sansa hadn't shown up and/or he left before Ramsey's letter arrived? Spring Break in Sothoryos?

Just get that guy a direwolf shield and slap that direwolf brooch on Sansa and the band is practically together.

I can't wait until she and Ramsey team up!

Since they apparently put Walder Frey and family in suspended animation after season 3, there really hasn't been much for her to do anyway.

I hope Dany's first command to her new followers is "Back up, can't you see this place is on fire?"

Oh yeah, I do think that happened.

Yup, one time magical event surviving the pyre.
