Well, I'm not sure if we're supposed to see what she did this episode as heroic? Both Tyrion and Jaime (but Tyrion in particular, since he's been the one warning her against using the dragons) looked horrified at the carnage she was causing. Jon also told her specifically that using her dragons to melt castles and win…

His face when Bran dropped the "Chaos is a ladder" bit on him was PRICELESS. If he's smart, he'll run from Winterfell before anyone finds out any more. That said, I hope we get to see each of the Stark kids have a go at him. He needs to die slowly.

I don't think we're making it out of this season without seeing at least one dragon dead. They have to even out the odds somehow.

She's all, "Will you risk the life of your people because you're too proud to bend the knee?", but she's kind of doing the same thing back to him. She's too proud to help without him swearing allegiance to her when he's made it plenty clear he's never going to be the kind to start a war for the throne. I'm not sure if…

No, no, I get that it's a lot more deep-seated than that, and I really enjoyed his arc in the books after he returned from his horror adventures with Brienne. It felt natural to me that he was starting to see the cracks in his relationship with Cersei, and realising he didn't see eye to eye with her on a lot of…

Well, it's the outcome I'm rooting for! Littlefinger getting his comeuppance might be toe-to-toe with a full Stark reunion on my list of things I want to see happen this season. If they can somehow happen together, that would just be sweet, sweet icing on the cake.

Well, I don't think that's applicable to Show Jaime (thank God, because the idea that THAT, of all things, was what drove Book Jaime away never sat right with me). I think it would have to be some sort of moral depravity on Cersei's part, but she's already gone as far as mass murder, so I don't know what more she…

I'm having trouble thinking up shit Cersei could do that would NOW make Jaime walk out on her, after he's appeased himself with her blowing up a sept of mostly innocent people to get out of a prickly situation. Book Jaime checked out a lot earlier than this, and for much milder reasons.

I had forgotten that the kids know about Rhaegar's "kidnapping" of their aunt. Bran's interpretation of it could go either way, like you said, but I imagine Meera Reed is with him for a reason. Maybe Howland's told her the full story and she can fill in the gaps for Bran.

It's even more disorienting when you try and match it with other people's travel speeds. Why does it take Bran and Meera more time to get to Winterfell from Castle Black than it does for Jon to travel the length of the kingdom to Dragonstone? Why hasn't Arya made it to Winterfell yet, considering we last saw her at…

I'm surprised so many people are taking offence over her calling Bran the true Lord of Winterfell, as if she was doing it with the intent of dissing Jon. If anything, she was offering her up HER place as the last true Stark of Winterfell, not Jon's King in the North status.

And some mention of Needle and sticking people with pointy ends!

Especially considering they all seem to have express raven service these days.

They were all deserving, yes, but mass murder is definitely several steps beyond "normal and well-adjusted", I think, especially for a teenager.

I'm not sure Arya qualifies as non-psycho at the moment…

Poor Sansa. Who would've thought her reunion with the sibling she was the least fond of would end up being the most emotional and satisfying? Bran's pretty much moved on from anything worldly, and I don't think Arya's going to be offering up hugs whenever she finally arrives at Winterfell either. It's all diminishing…

They've made the timelines way too inconsistent on the show. I mean, they always have been a little inconsistent to some extent, but in the earlier seasons, it would take at least an episode or two before messages reached their recipients, and people were always learning things too late, which added a nice layer of…

Didn't Jaqen once wear Arya's face? I don't think they've specified the rules of face-swapping enough for it to preclude the possibility of it being Arya-as-Tyrion (although I think it's more likely she's moving north).

Yes, I'm sure the claustrophobic aspect of it was a big part of why it felt so horrible to me, along with the fact that the author would describe him eating worms and things, which made it all feel too real, like he had to face actual consequences from what had happened. The fact that his parents were assholes made it…

God, my teenage self was devastated at Tobias getting stuck in hawk-form. I don't even think I can explain why it bothered me so much (he didn't seem to mind being a hawk that much), but to me, it was straight-up nightmare territory and the beginning of horrible things happening to characters I liked. (Hello, Game of…
