Oh, yes - I'm sure that's what that was about. Roz is clearly one of Littlefinger's spies.
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I just read a commenter on io9 who said that the Pycelle scene was supposed to show how the doddering old man act is just that, an act, and that he's much sharper than he lets on, and (like everyone else at court) pretty much lying through his teeth. Thinking back, he did sort of spring into action when Ros left, and before he left the room, he stooped over again.
That scene seemed like such a weird thing to spend so much time on in the finale.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Also - who knew that Yoren had been a hair stylist before he joined the Night's Watch?
Ha!

Is a thousand leagues= 1 million miles (approximately)?

More like 3000 miles [link]
Yeah, the boys surrounding Jon and repeating the oath back to him was excellent.
I also really loved the "Does it matter who sits the Iron Throne?" scene with Lord Mormont. Shit is getting real at the Wall.

Yeah - that was very good.
Been wondering if Varys' concern is for the "realm" - what has he been doing to help out the Night's Watch?

Yeah, they talk the same talk, but. . . Varys did try to send them Ned, maybe he's made other less high profile deals that benefit Night's Watch in not so obvious ways?

I love how they gave Sansa a momentary notion of pushing Joffrey off that bridge.
Without spoiling too much from the later books... it would have saved so much trouble and been kinder, too.
Once again, my rule stands that if you discover you're in a GRRM story, your only sane option is immediate suicide.

Very true, Theo. But where would the fun for us be?
I'm reading the chat. . . (it's ending now) - people were suggesting that they cut the RED WEDDING
Are they NUTS??
And it's not like it would be in next season anyway.
Also - ridiculous casting suggestion: Saffron Burrows for Melisandre and excellent casting suggestion: Phillip Glennister for Davos.
