[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

OK, I just realized why Theon's friend looks familiar. That is excellent casting.
Misfits?
This ep was hella good. I continue to love Marg, and not being in 1st person lets us see things like the conversation between Varys and Grandma Tyrell, which is made of yay. I do find it interesting that they (book spoilers for things that have already happened differently) went with simplifying the Sansa becomes a Tyrell plan and don't bring the other brother into it. (Spoilers for things that have not happened) It will make Tyrion that much more of a contrast, even though I maintain that he is in the running for Best Husband In Westeros.
I love how, even though I don't speak the language, it's clear that Dany speaks Valyrian like a native.
DRACARYS MOTHERFUCKER
God I love that scene.
Right? I'm getting the feeling much more strongly than I ever did in the books that there's this WALL OF DRAGON coming to Westeros, and she is gonna OWN your asses as is right and proper (Fuck, yeah, Dany Targaryen). If this were a different series, I'd say that she'd come and dispense good justice upon the righteous and unrighteous for the entire last 50 pages/episode of the series. But, this is not that Universe.
I would have liked a few of the Unsullied to say, "Yeah, thanks, I'm out."
So awesome.
Yeah, Misfits. He seemed familiar last week, but I couldn't place him.
I also really like how much we get to see of the Tyrells goings on (why do I get the Martells and Tyrells confused? I always do).
Also, also, pink sparkly hearts of antiseptic around Brienne and Jaime.
Jesus, I almost forgot! That's how awesome this episode was, I can't keep all the awesome in my limited memory.
Even having read what went down in Craster's Keep, that was shocking, too.

Well, it's a song of ice and fire, right? To me that sounds like it all comes down to dragons vs white walkers in the end.
