Let's all just assume that zombie!Mountain doesn't have working junk and never discuss it again.

The weird thing about this episode (which I loved) is that while the High Sparrow and Walder Frey are both first-class assholes, their actors are a complete delight to watch! So I will kind of miss seeing them even though Frey especially had it coming (he had only himself to blaaaaaame…)

And people pie for everyone! You know when pie comes out that shit's about to get real.

Yeah, they deliberately give us a lot of options.

Why, there they are, both baked in this pie!

The best meat's in the rump!

The metric system's the tool of the devil! My car gets forty rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it!

Seeing Aidan Gillen's name in the credits pretty much gave it away! But yeah, it still totally felt earned.

They brought the horns and everything! I mean, I know the last-minute cavalry rescue is a trope and all but damn if it isn't effective.

And/or her dead brother Rhaegar! (Although Rhaego was named after him so it's all a rich tapestry, I guess.)

Careful, Littlefinger! She's got a taste for MEAT now!

It also made me think of Orson Welles' Chimes at Midnight, which has an even more nightmarish battle sequence (in the midst of an otherwise upbeat movie), but then, that was a clear influence on Branagh as well and more people have seen Branagh's HV these days.

I knew I wasn't the only one thinking of Branagh's Henry V! The whole battle sequence felt very Shakespearey (see also: Jon offering to fight Ramsay in single combat).

There's a 30-year difference between the first male/male kiss on UK TV (which was in 1970*) and on US TV (in 2000).

I think it's pretty likely they're going to end up taking each other out somehow — they came into the world together, after all; I can't imagine them not going out together.

Plus Jonathan Pryce is so much fun to watch!

Ian McShane was wrong — it's tits OR dragons!

Well, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

What have falafel balls ever done to you?

They're taking Dany to Vaes Dothrak to sit in the comfy chair with the dosh khaleen!
