Legal flub: "Attempted manslaughter" wtf? How can you attempt to unintentionally kill someone? Or am I missing something?

You're darn tootin'! The QA folk at my work would get very upset by this type of behaviour

Wow, thanks for posting a big massive spoiler picture as the lead image for this on the landing page. Not all of us are professional TV critics and so haven't had a chance to get through the whole series yet. Not knowing that Daya ends up pointing a gun at Bennett would have been nice going forward.

I really don't know what the point of introducing Wyman Manderly was when they've decided to make him absolutely nothing like the book version. They made him just another northern lord, albeit a bit stockier than the others

This was indeed infuriating. I did wonder whether Sansa wanted Jon's forces weakened so that he won't be a threat to her being able to rule Winterfell (considering Littlefinger sewed seeds of doubt about trusting Jon earlier this season), however that would be a level of sophistication in the story telling that I do…

Was totally clear to be fair :)

I thought it was a great review. I'm able to watch the show with two hats on, one where I critically analyse it and one where I binge on the bombastic spectacle. Reading a review which just gushes over the bombastic spectacle wouldn't be of much interest to me

It's a small niggle, but I preferred the way that in the books Jamie tells Edmure that he is going to free him and return him to Riverrun regardless, but that if he doesn't then get the castle to surrender he will send his new born son over to join him via catapult. Much more cruel and sophisticated than 'do what I…

I think he re-negged the lordship bargain in order to force Bronn to come to Dorne with him, and has been consistently re-negging ever since. Bronn should just quit (especially as, fan service aside, it makes no sense for the show to keep Bronn around. His arc should have ended when he betrayed Tyrion)

Could Sansa have been writing a letter legitimising him? (if that's possible in the show universe)

Except didn't Tyrion already release them in episode one? I think that scene was the closest we'll get to the Quentyn storyline, with D&D trolling fans by making them think maybe Tyrion was going to get burnt

Their dickishness stems from their deep rooted insecurities about how the other houses view them, so I think they have some depth at least

That really pissed me off. Yara gets that dick in the books, and it would have been powerful to show her using men in the same way that men use women in the show. Why not have her making out with a male prostitute? They could have still had all the background boobs to appease the CEO of tits.
The writing in that scene…

I'm wondering whether Tormund might take on the role of Hyle Hunt in the Riverlands

Worth bearing in mind the AFFC plotlines ran concurrently with ADWD, so not that strange in my opinion

He played Robert Baratheon in the play. He was only out of his costume for a split second in the backstage scene

Regarding the teleportation, to allow it to make sense that they got there so soon I suppose you could speculate that Bran actually had still warged into the past when he met the Night's King, and that it gave the zombie army time to travel to the tree just in time for Bran to unwarg newly marked.

I thought his emphasis was to sow distrust, which seemed to have worked later based on her comments comparing him to Ramsay, as well as not telling him about meeting Littlefinger

So that's got to be his story arch over for most of the rest of the season right? He's kinda dug himself into a corner until those 20 Iron Born he had with him have finished building him A THOUSAND SHIPS. Even with GoT crazy time that's gonna take a while.

No mention of Richard E Grant's cameo in Stray Observations? Was a very cool blink and you miss it moment :)
