Okay, so how did Theon know how Osha killed the guards? It’s been a while, but I didn’t think there were any witnesses. And why was Ramsay asking about it? Seems bizarrely prescient.

I find it really hard to believe that Greatjon Umber died peacefully of natural causes off-screen. They showed us flat-out the book mystery of what happened to Balon Greyjoy but they want us to believe one of the Starks’ most loyal banner Houses is giving up Rickon when nobody even knew they had him? That’s got a be a…

I can hope for whatever I want on a show that has deviated from the books quite a bit already, but thanks for the netsplaining anyway.

• Who farted in terror when Ser Gregor entered the Small Council, Mace or Pycelle?

“the fact that Parkinson managed to keep [the role of Rickon] says to me that the showrunners think he’s grown into a solid actor.”

Why not both?

Partially wishful thinking, but I’m not sure the Umbers are legit betraying the Starks. There’s no real reason to not just pledge themselves, so why the gift and not bending the knee? I think/hope something is up.

I have to hope that the head they displayed wasn’t really Shaggydog and that the Umbers are taking the place of the Manderlys from the book. With the Umbers being so close to the wall they may have the ability to go north of the wall to try and find a random direwolf.

Given how there are pictures of Jon wearing Stark armor instead of the Black... yeah. :)

I miss the Gotham recaps. We're in good hands.

I’m not so sure Melisandre had anything to do with Jon’s resurrection. She has no idea how Thoros did it, and she’s in a major crisis of faith right now. You would think it would take maximum belief to bring back the dead. Of course, even if she didn’t, chances are she and everyone else will think she did, so her…

Hearing about Manderly’s, Umbers, and Glovers means that The North Remembers.

And, let’s not forget what else happened this episode.

Oxygen deprivation, he can only say “Hodor”.

Martian Manhunter is the best. Fuck Goyer and his terrible unfixable scripts.

“Good guy” + Wilhem Dafoe eeriness = Martian Manhunter cameo.

He can’t play a good guy. Look at his name — he’s Da Foe!

So by good guy in DC, do you mean he's only going to indiscriminately kill 100 people or fewer?

Oh, The Stranger I would be DOWN for!

Have they cast Martian Manhunter yet? That's my vote
