The locations they're scouting for next year strongly suggests that Oldtown will be part of the next season (it also would have been pretty unnecessary for Sam to mention Oldtown if DD weren't planning on doing more with it). [Reply]

Interesting. The Sarella comment made me curious. [Reply]
I enjoyed that episode, it was much better than last week.
I was expecting Theon to help Sansa, that part got me. Frickin Theon, Sansa is in deep doodoo right now. Brienne needs to go off on Ramsay and kill his ass, and Theon too at this point.
The Sand Snake story suddenly got a LOT more interesting. Dang, she is hot! Seriously though, it was the first Sand Snake scene I liked, and Bronn saying he was going easy on them because they're women kind of makes the lousy fight scene last week a little more tolerable.
Glad to see Tyrion meet up with Dany already, I was annoyed that didn't happen in Book 5. Jorah's fight scene was pretty good too.
Liked seeing Sam stick up for Gilly and then seeing Ghost was great. Think Jon should have taken him with him to give him credibility with the wildlings, but at least we got a Ghost sighting. And Sam got lucky!
Cersei got arrested. We all knew it was coming, looking forward to seeing her punishment. [Reply]
I'm looking forward to the reaction when...that thing...happens to Jon Snow at Castle Black. It should be amazing.
I had been slow to watch this season just because I didn't expect much from it, but after binge watching all the episodes in the last 24 hours I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I think they've done a great job this season so far. [Reply]
End would have been more cathartic if they hadn't tried so hard to make Cersei sympathetic for 5 years. There's probably people out there who think she doesn't deserve it and that it's just more evidence that the show hates women. [Reply]

If you're in this thread and haven't read the books or aren't well past where the show is in the books, then for fuck's sake don't open this spoiler. Seriously.
Spoiler!
I missed getting video of the daughter when we watched the Red Wedding. I will NOT miss it when Jon Snow gets his. She is positively going to shit bricks when the Night's Watch turns on him(she's already told me that if Jon Snow or Tyrion get killed that she's done with the show, lol).
And I agree about the direction of the show. I think they've done a fantastic job augmenting the story yet staying true to the overall feel and direction. The only part that hasn't lived up yet are the Sand Snakes. So far they just look like a real bitchy group of Armenian women, lol. [Reply]

Hopefully they get Jon back to Castle Black fairly quickly so they can move those storylines forward a bit. Also, with Ramsay openly talking about Jon to Sansa, maybe we will see the bastard note or something like it. They are definitely staying true to form with Stannis's army getting raped by the snow storms. Not so much with the Shireen nonsense. [Reply]

Someone either in this thread or the other thread had mentioned possibly that Shireen would be put up as a sacrifice to the God of Light long before this. I think there was some foreshadowing to it or something. [Reply]

AND: They're leaving out the best sand snake, by far. Where's my Sarella at?
So...uh...I think we figured out what they were focusing on when they cast Tyene Sand. Mother of God....
Now the other 2? Yeah, still terrible decisions on the casting there. For Tyene, however, they are forgiven.
Much better episode but still not to the level of previous seasons or even earlier in this season. [Reply]
