Tonight's episode of Game of Thrones was written by Jane Espenson.

I wonder if they're offering the next episode on HBOGo early because of the holiday next week.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's a good question.

I imagine it got hit with a lot of demand all at once. It took a couple of tries, but it eventually worked fine for me.

Other than the no wolves - I really enjoyed the scene of Bran riding for the first time since his accident. I mean, up until it all went wrong.

I was wondering if Ros would (book spoiler) instead of Shae - because why introduce another character for that role when you have one already established?

The Golden Crown and horse heart eating sequences were grottier in the books, I think. More screaming for the former and because you're in her head you totally know how difficult it is for Dany to not vomit in the latter scene.

I thought that the scene with Littlefinger and Ros and the other prostitute didn't work very well. I think I preferred that story from Catelyn's POV and I also cannot believe that Littlefinger would tell anyone that much about his motivation .
