I think Harington has had some good moments throughout the series, and while Clarke is far from the best actor on the show, she's miles away from the whole "WHERE… ARE… MY DRAGONS?!??" phase from S1 and S2.

I actually think Tyrion was due for a little bit of humblement, if that is indeed a real word. For much of the series, he's gotten ahead based on his wits… by outsmarting everyone. And he hasn't been shy about bringing it up: he's smarter than you, and he knows it. That's a TV recipe for comeuppance. The show just…

Hopefully Melisandre learned her lesson about randomly murdering royal relatives with the whole Stannis debacle. But who knows…

I'm definitely going to try this, but it's got some serious competition. When I lived in Delaware, the local Kiwanis Clubs all over the Delmarva Peninsula used a vinegar-based sauce on their barbecued chicken that had the weird addition of an egg whisked into the sauce. It was THA SHIZNIT.

Not to mention, he's got as good claim to Storm's End as anyone, since the Baratheon line is completely gone.

True. I know the Valyrian steel thing is a real stretch, but honestly there's no point in bringing him back into the series unless he's going to serve an important purpose in the series' endgame. #SoYerSayingTheresAChance

I'm pretty interested to see where Gendry turns up. I'm hoping it's as a blacksmith in the Riverlands, where he can hook up with Arya and they can head north to Winterfell together. I'm sure the Starks could use a good smithy 'round the castle, especially if he can work with dragonglass…

You're right, someone should absolutely have just killed him by now. Especially since there would be, literally, almost no consequence as a result. No one's got any great love for Littlefinger, and I'm pretty sure every lord in the Vale would be just fine'n'dandy with him taking the big dirt nap.

Well, modern science has only been around in our world for roughly the past 400 years (and you'd be hard-pressed to find any "scientific techniques" from 1600 that are still used today), sooooo for the first 1600 years that time was recorded, so were we.

They didn't stop at medieval times. They're living in medieval times.

It was never really explained why Jaqen H'ghar ended up in the black cells at King's Landing, or what he was doing in Westeros in the first place. I'd like to think it was the Faceless Men's idea all along to train Arya and send her back home to do some good ol' killin' for the Many-Faced God.

I feel like Arya's going to make it back to Winterfell just in time to catch Littlefinger on some scheming bullsh*t and finish what Jon Snuh started.

Mmmm… pumpkin-spice mulled wine.

He better get to sneakin'. The ship was pretty well on its way when he was treading water at the end of the episode.

Good Gawd, the only thing worse than the writing on this show is the F/X.

1 for 6, counting Sheeran. That's a .166 batting average.

I'm struggling with the "Mordor = Turkey" part. And pretty much all of it except the "Shire = England" part.

And Carrot Top. And Shaun White. And David Caruso. And Bill Walton. And Ron Howard.

I just re-watched that episode a few weeks ago. It is still just as jarring as I remember. Is that the only episode where the end credits roll over a modern song arrangement?

Seriously. I'm just glad we didn't have to listen to "Bear and the Maiden Fair" for the 18th f***ing time.
