Great job getting Ian McShane to sign on for an episode appearance. Might have been overkill for those who recognized him, but to those who haven't seen him in anything previously (I was one of the 17 people to watch Kings and thought he was the two of the three best things of the entire show) McShane was the perfect foil for the Hound in his apparently failed quest to live a peaceful life.
What's even greater has been whomever is responsible for casting this season. First Wyllis, now the Lady Mormont. Little girl had some chops to make the scene with Jon, Sansa and Davos believable. Nicely done.
Also.. CLEGANEBOWL CLEGANEBOWL CLEGANEBOWL. GET HYPE. [Reply]

What an amazing episode! Everything was an A+ for me except for Arya. What a wasted story arc. That shit better not turn back into her just trying to find her family again. If that's what she's going to do, then let it fucking happen and let her do something that is interesting. [Reply]
I don't quite understand why the Brotherhood would slaughter those people though? Was it because of the 7 Gods? Those people seemed like they had no fealty to anyone, why were they a threat? [Reply]
The Arya storyline is just pissing me off now. Against a band of super-assassins who can literally appear as anyone, why are you admiring the view in the middle of the super-assassins hometown? Part of me wanted Arya to be over and done with after the 12,000 stabs to the stomach she took.
Also, Yara gettin' some titties was pretty great. [Reply]
There is no freaking way she dies. There's just no way. What a waste of a character that would be if this was how she dies.
It does piss me off though that her having to heal will delay her storyline moving forward any time soon.
I was so happy she finally broke away from that stupid place last week, and was looking forward to seeing what her plans were this week. Now we have to wait. Fuck. [Reply]

She should be healed up and in Westros by next season ready to use some of those new assassin skills on the Freys. [Reply]

If indeed that was the brotherhood, that was a horrible departure from the books. Under LSH, they were vicious towards Freys and maybe Lannisters but definitely not toward random other innocent people. [Reply]
Did I miss something? Did they mention they were part of the brotherhood? And for fucks sake, just move the Arya story line along. What exactly did she learn from the faceless guys? From the TV show it looks like all she has learned is to maybe fight while she is blind a little bit? How to wash dead bodies? They really didn't teach her how to use the faces or anything? The have completely fucked up the Arya storyline as far as I am concerned. [Reply]

I agree with you both, but to play devil's advocate; the faith has gained a lot of power in a short time in kings landing. The ripples could cause dissension from other religious groups along westeros, like the brotherhood who follow the lord of light.
Or maybe brother Ray's warrior/murderous past is connected to the brotherhood or the lanisters/Frays somehow, but there's no real backstory to contribute to any of these grasping at straws thoughts because show Ray is a couple book characters [Reply]
