It's the explicit homophobia. The Sparrows in the books were fanatics, but they were also finally standing up for the little guy and holding these rich immoral bastards accountable. In the show the first bit of screen time was their persecution of gays, it set a completely different tone.

Wun Wun made it, for sure. You know this show, outside of Syrio, you either show them dying, or they're still alive.

The Bolton's sealed how great Sansa's story is going to end up in last night's sode. They were saying how no one would be able to take the castle, how fortified it is, etc. Well, they have one weakness, Sansa, and the people of Winterfell castle. Guarantee you she opens the gates, Brienne puts her sword through…

This plot reminds me a lot of Battlestar Galactica. You just want to get the humans to trust the cylons at the end, and vice versa, even though there is a history of slavery and genocide between their species.

People say obviously Melisandre will resurrect him, but she never demonstrated that power. Berric did, but she has not, not once. In fact she was amazed by it when she saw Berric could, and was clearly jealous of the power. So far we know Jon wargs into Ghost, but that's it. Maybe he is just severely injured and in a…

So you think they're going to kill Tormund? Instead of mortally wounding Jon Snow? You don't just leave a season cliffhanger like that on the cutting room floor, it would make people nuts.

Yep, that's what I was thinking, "Don't just wait around until they find out a way to get you!" I do like that kind of thing though. This was very reminiscent of the ferry to Bree in the Lord of the Rings. Looking back at the horse that can't cross water in dread. Great scene in both regardless.

I'm not saying he's not trying to kill Jon, just not sure most people would consider it so wrong that he wants to do that, considering the circumstances as most everyone in Westeros understands them.

It was confusing that the interaction that introduced him was a guy begging him to take a bag of money. It should have been the other way around, I understood the explanation, but the visual made no sense in correlation to it.

He didn't "find a way" to spare her brothers. They escaped, and he had to fake kill them to maintain his hold on Winterfell.

Theon's actions were entirely predictable, actually, they were to be expected of the heir to the Iron Islands. That's why everyone begs Robb not to give him up as a hostage. Robb Stark gets Robb Stark killed, plain and simple. He did betray the Frey's, he did alienate the Karstarks, and he did leave the north open to…

Ollie is a twelve year old boy whose hero is getting buddy-buddy with the people that killed and ate his parents. We may be able to see the bigger picture here, but I don't think he's a "bad seed" for wanting revenge.

Right, ok, I get that. I was more curious than nerding out.

I can't hear Dany speak without thinking she's about to just be a terrible, terrible ruler. I'm going to break the wheel! Hurray? How? Cause right now your plan is essentially slaughter everyone and make them act how you want. That's worked so far, genius, why not in Westeros too?

Yeah, but to stop rowing entirely? I'd be frantically trying to get away, twenty feet of distance would NOT be enough. Though I guess I just don't have what it takes to join the Night's Watch.

What's your objection to the Lord of Bones? He wears bones, it's his thing. Though in the book he is most often mockingly referred to as Rattleshirt.

That was a fantastic episode. Loved it. But what was with the rowboat at the end? They have a horde of the undead and White Walkers and they just stop rowing like fifteen feet off shore and let themselves drift away? I guess the boat still being there can be chalked up to the rowers being Night's Watch and Jon…

They're trying to make Sansa the hero by cutting out everything from her story. I too was quite upset by cutting the Manderly's, but they want to give Sansa agency.

So are they going to be dead? Mary Kate's skin is already pulled taught on her skull like an extra from the Walking Dead.

A couple of my friends hadn't seen that movie recently… I felt like a guy showing his kid Star Wars for the first time. Except instead of watching a small child enjoy something, it was two high men in their twenties.
