Maybe that's why the Waif was so gawddamn surly all the time. She was stuck teaching everyone how to pick locks. =)

True, but I'd imagine that comes part and parcel with the assassin training — I wouldn't include it on the show either… who wants to sit through a "Rocky"-style montage of Arya learning to pick locks and walk quietly? =)

Jesus Christ, fine, Dany can burn all the people she wants. I'm a slavering idiot in thrall to my own willful ignorance. Can you shut the f*** up now?

Like you said, Sansa f***ed it up. But not on purpose. She didn't go running to Cersei to specifically screw her family and get her dad beheaded; she was just being a selfish little girl who saw her dreams of one day being the queen slipping away.

They Scotchgard them sh*ts, son!

I mean, if you're going to be a world-class assassin, presumably you'd need a way to get into secure places.

"My dear Sansa, I'd be happy to protect your from your vicious little sister. But I need you to do me a favor first…" — Not being able to figure out Littlefinger's plan is what's kept him in "the great game" this long in the first place.

^ This. Arya might be a vicious assassin now, but she's not into killing innocent people to serve her own ends. Unless she brought a bag of faces with her from Braavos, the only ones she could wear are the Frey servant girl and Walder Frey himself.

As several people mentioned, Davos was with Stannis, attacking King's Landing as the aggressor. Casualties are to be expected.

One thing everyone seems to forget is that, less than 20 years before the events of the show began, Westeros was cool with incest. The Mad King married his sister, and no one raised a finger. I kind of feel like the show has gone out of its way to avoid making references to that — actually, has it ever come up on the…

Orrrrr, once you're blockaded at Casterly Rock by the Iron Fleet, you don't go back? I know, doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

I was wondering whether, when the Night King finally crosses the Wall, we'll get a scene where we see the Mountain's eyes turn blue inside his helmet. I don't know how close he needs to be to a wight to raise 'im up, but that would be f***ing sweet.

I don't think it necessarily matters who Gendry learned under (although I think hammerbutt is right, Tywin brought someone other than Tobho Mott to KL to melt down Ned's sword). The real problem is that even a smith with knowledge of Valyrian steel wasn't going to be able to make any new swords without dragonflame.

In medieval times I believe it's referred to as, "You gonna die if you try and have this baby." I actually thought this was kind of a cheesy way of getting Jaime back on Team Cersei.

I liked his moment with Drogon, but I thought it was kind of the expected way to handle that scenario. I was kind of hoping that Drogon would be yelling in his face, and then Rhaegal would land behind Jon and sort of have his back, kind of yell at Drogon and be like, "LEAVE HIM ALONE, HE'S COOL!" Because real sh*t, if…

I kind of looked at that from the opposite side. I thought he saw Jon Snuh coming toward them (poor Jorah, just can't get his Khaleesi alone without some younger stud-muffin getting in the way) and decided to take a little strategic advantage of his most-favored-nation status.

Maaan, that would be some Evil Genius Sh*t for the writers to do. In other words, it would be right up their alley. That would be devastating.

I've always kind of gone with the assumption that each season covers roughly a year's worth of events. Sam let Dr. Bran & the Electric Mayhem through the Wall back in S4, so you figure a couple months to get up to the tree, about a year with the Three-Eyed Raven, then the trip home (which probably would've been…

No one found it out except Gilly, though, and she has no idea what it means. Unless they brought that specific book along (which they certainly could have, even if it wasn't specifically shown), that knowledge may only be in Bran's supercrowded dome.

The show never addressed Randyll's reaction to Sam taking Heartsbane. I suspect, like Zardoz, that Randyll had no thoughts about Sam at all in making his decision. The man had a legendary reputation as a hardass, what with the banishing his own son and wanting to flog straggling soldiers. I think switching sides again…
