We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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

I'm pretty sure it's annulment by handwavium. Some combination of virginity + Tyrion's supposed to be dead by now + we're planning to overthrow the king anyway, right, so, like, what's a little bigamy between allies?

I'm kind of surprised Sansa didn't bring it up, though. (Maybe she did offscreen, but still.)

With this ep, I now understand how people who haven't read the books have been feeling for the past 4 seasons of this show! (Characters! Characters in new places!)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sansa and Tyrion had a "white marriage" i.e., unconsummated. That was commonly dismissed as Not Counting.

It's disorienting, but kind of exciting.

So true.

So anyone think that we'll have a rescue by Brienne and then a series of adventures on the road with Brienne, Sansa and Pod?

I definitely think Brienne and Pod will come to rescue Sansa.

That would be great!

Now that Brienne knows where/who Sansa is I'm a little anxious she'll get killed.

Stannis is also heading for Winterfell, right?

Yes, he is planning on conquering the North.

Since they're deviating from the books I am hoping for a fist-pumping moment of Brienne killing Ramsay.
