Anyone else find a little uneasy feeling in the air when Danaerys says "faith … In MYSELF" with a hint of raging inferno in her eyes …?

Zing! Count it!

-Septa Unella moans from adjacent cell-

Ellaria: "Well, he wasn't taunting, he was trying make him CONFESS."
-Mountain spazzes-
Cersei: "Oh… That's not earning you any points here, sweetheart"

"If only Oberyn hadn't taunted Ser Gregor"
-Cersei, in the midst of a TAUNTING spiel!!!

I assume you're responding to my comparisons of Arya to Cersei. I would never claim to be able to relate to trauma like Arya or Sansa or Cersei have been through. Even though I have been through a shattering thing or two, I have way more to count myself lucky for than "don't ever wanna think about that again." So I…

GoT embracing the failure of the Sand Snakes on the show: pawn-sized plot devices on a super-sized board.

I couldn't agree more. Yet I think this is what makes her story so compelling for me. It generates such productive tension between hoping to see the scumbags get their poetic comeuppance, and the danger of Arya losing her soul, which I think was the real point of the whole Faceless Men/"no one" training.

Was that said already before me??? Apologies if i recycled material, how about …
"Let's just hope you don't have to pass a kidney stone of this mess"

Arya is probably the most fun character to cheer for, but the last 2 episodes, it's interesting that parallels have popped out to me with our 2 biggest villains…
The Frey massacre was elaborately staged (reverse Red Wedding style) to send a message, complete with a surviving witness or 2. That and the fact that she…

Damn, Jorah… I thought MY acne was bad…

"You threw a rock at me. You can kiss my furry butt!"

Probably just the writers working in an excuse for Sandor to say "mountain" to troll CleganeBowlers.

Also, in ep 4x10 when he said "I should have raped your sister" to Arya, it was pretty transparent that he was simply saying whatever he could think of to try and goad her into killing him quickly. Even trying to rub it in that he killed her friend the butcher's boy, for example; he clearly got no joy from it, it was…

As Robert always said his warhammer made him king, Cersei's wildfire made her queen. They were a better match than either of them ever thought!!

And not wanting to be burned to death in a blaze of wildfire

"I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it."

The Mance/Rattleshirt element from the books (represented as Melisandre's actual age behind the ruby choker in the show) does very similar things…

The greyscale has kicked into high gear.
