Woe to the fucking wicked.

So, apparently we DO care about Rhaegar and Lyanna. I wonder if Melisandre saw that in the flames.

"That's Tarth." I love it when a show ships my ship.

As soon as that ending sequence started, I knew it would be bad for one or both of those two.

I'm very worried for Shireen, but I do think that Stannis would go to the mat for her.

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

Of course we do!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

There are any number of similar bits of history that have either been only vaguely mentioned or have not been mentioned at all. The conversations we got in this episode seemed very much like "We're just gonna put these dots here. No reason. Connect them? Why would you think that? That's silly." So I have to think there will be Relevance.

Trust that instinct. It's really the only narratively sound choice.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

What a fascinating bit of exposition, Petyr.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Petyr clearly doesn't believe the "kidnapped" part.

Has the Knight of the Laughing Tree story been told on the show?

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

Note also that Ned was not a king. He was Lord of Winterfell, and the King's Hand and the Warden of the North. But it was only Rob who took up the old crown as King of the North.

So when Melisandre is coming on to Jon Snow because she wants to make shadows, she needs the blood of kings.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Hil, no, I do not believe it has. I'm not sure we've talked about Lord Reed really at all.

Well, historically, the Starks were kings, even if there was a significant gap in there without the title.

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

"Fewer"

Good old Stannis.

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

So many dragons this ep! Whee! Hi Drogon!

I like that Dany is finally getting proactive about this, but I'm not sure giving her babies a taste for human blood is such a great long-term plan.

BIG CHANGE FROM BOOK with Jorah getting infected with greyscale! And actually a really good decision, I think.
