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).
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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
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.

Because books.

I never thought of that. That makes a lot of sense.
This episode, man. I love this series so much. I want to put the Dany scenes on a loop and watch them over and over. I want her to take the throne, although god knows nothing that wonderful could happen, given the series so far.
I love Maergery, and I think she would be a fair ruler, but she *wants* the throne for the power and the riches. Dany not only believes the throne is rightfully hers by blood, but I think she wants the responsibility of it, the chance to take care of the people of her kingdom.
I could be a little bit in love with her.
The scene at Craster's Keep was so shocking. But the weird thing is, I had been thinking earlier in the episode that Craster is really reckless -- it's him and an army of miserable, underfed daughter-wives, and the Night's Watch (or whoever) could totally seize it and kill Craster without much of a fight. Then it happened, I was still shocked! I didn't expect Mormont to go at all.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I loved the Dany scenes as someone who doesn't know what is to come. That was fucking awesome. I kind of knew some of what was to come because it was telegraphed, but hot damn.
Literally.

I would hesitate to opine on what Maergery wants and why. She's got dome deep waters that we haven't seen much of.
But I do love a righteous Danaerys Stormborn showing her dragon off.

The scene at Craster's Keep
BTW, my mouth was open the ENTIRE time. I'm serious.

The Craster's Keep sequence was surprising in the book too, and I didn't expect the Old Bear to go out like that either.

Okay, I've been waiting for this speech from Varys to Tyrion, as he actually shares this story in Book 2. I figured they wouldn't drop it completely, I'm glad it came around. However, the thing about him unpacking the very sorcerer who cut him while giving the speech is completely original to the show. Nice twist.
