I want to agree with this, but that two-week period they found is a pretty unique take on "pop music bottoms out during the Limp Bizkit era."

I agree. While this two-week stretch is pretty f***in' rough, the mid-to-late-'90s were the glory days of The Fantastic Hip-Hop Soundtrack. Above the Rim, New Jersey Drive, Clockers, Sunset Park… totally fair to criticize the films but the soundtracks are blazin'.

I'll take 'em over Matchbox 20 every day of the week.

Don't you go trashing Wreckx'n'Effect, buddy — them's fightin' words! hahahaha

The most disappointing thing about "Fly," really, is that legit dancehall legend Super Cat technically co-signed it by lending his voice, even if it was just for random patois chatter between verses.

It gave me a chill when I finally figured out what the hell he said. Hempstead-Wright really drawled the first part of it (can you "drawl" in a British accent? That's probably not the right word), and I had to watch it two more times to get it for sure.

…is anything really a "last resort" when you can see into the future?

CERSEI: I'll accept a paperweight; nothing less.

I saw a lot of Lannisters getting slashed in the throat. I think the Dothraki probably got a few tips from Tyrion on fighting Westerosi soldiers.

I think it's the on-again, off-again part-Scottish, part-Irish accent that he gets the most sh*t over.

I don't know about that. The cornerstone of this long con he's been playing — destabilizing the realm by bankrupting the crown — just went to sh*t if Cersei really got the gold and is paying the Iron Bank. I think he's still around because so many of us want to see a satisfying, murderous comeuppance.

Also it proves that Davos cares more about correct grammar than 90% of the sites that review Game of Thrones episodes.

I mean, Jaime probably didn't want Tywin to be killed, buuuut we're talking about a dad who actively hated his youngest son for being born, who married his daughter off to cement an alliance and was about to do it again, and who ordered the wholesale slaughter of an entire family at a wedding.

I won't pretend to understand how anything works in Dorne, but wouldn't the Dornish army — who were gearing up to go to war with Dany's squidder — be even MORE ready to go to war now that their leader and her daughter have been abducted by the enemy?

I'm kind of hoping Gendry gets Viserion as an apprentice and learns how to forge Valyrian steel.

I think the "fewer" comment is just meant to convey the tremendous detail with which this world has been constructed. We've spent nearly seven years with these characters, and we can appreciate this little inside joke that Davos took away from his time with Stannis.

True — but if you shot a BB at a bird, the chances of you missing are much better than the chances that the bird actually sees and dodges the BB.

I don't think we're supposed to be rooting for the Lannisters — we're meant to consider whether or not what Dany's doing has any merit whatsoever. We originally saw it as the restoration of the former royal dynasty of Westeros, which seems noble on its face. But what we saw last night was a look at just how that

I won't claim to be an expert on dragon vision, but I'd be willing to bet spotting a black arrow shot from a patch of scorched earth (and moving 100mph or so) is probably pretty tough, and even harder to avoid when, as was mentioned below, you're the size of a jumbo jet.

I think her single-minded pursuit of the Iron Throne is what could lead to Dark Dany. When she asked Jon whether the life of his people was worth his own pride, I wanted him to shoot back at her, "And is the life of everyone on this continent worth yours?"
