At the moment at least it's closer to 24 than to The West Wing..

Some of The Waif's emoting today was straight from that planet too

That information would be as useful as nipples on a breastplate

That's alright.. The White Walkers will have reanimated Summer by now…

"Happiness lies in conquering one’s enemies, in driving them in front of oneself, in taking their property, in savoring their despair, in outraging their wives and daughters."

conveniently reachable by rowboat..

True. I bet they prefer the Sand Snakes fighting to such long drawn out wight sequences

And nice review btw Myles. Really captured all that we experienced and then some

What an episode.. it just kept getting better and better (for the viewers, i.e.)… Thank you D&D!

It didn't really work in the books either

the "something awful happening to her" started happening a long time ago to Sansa.

Don't worry about her, she's got Walder Frey's DNA in her.. she'll find a way to survive

or grammar

Re Sansa's sly smirk.. it must be the expression that an apprentice Baelish would have given when he discovered an adversary's weakpoint. You just know Sansa's going to try and manipulate Ramsay by bringing up Walda's baby

Sadly, it'll take one stillborn offspring for him to go all Henry VIII

Roose: "The Queen will be enraged"
LF: "Queen Margaery adores Sansa. Cersei is Queen Mother. A title whose importance wanes with each passing day"

And gets rewarded for it too, with Tyrion, in a manner of speaking, falling into his lap..

No you're right, sorry for the confusion. Jon's election as Lord Commander is in Book 3 but the Slynt beheading is in 5

Yes, all this was as far back as Book 3
