Ooh, I love that episode! Meeting Fergus in the show is very different from how it happened in the book, and I'm cranky that one of my favorite lines from the entire series didn't make it into the show. (I get why it didn't, because Show!Jamie and Show!Claire wouldn't be having that conversation at this point in their relationship, but damnit, I wanted to hear Sam Heughan say verra large sausage.)
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

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

GoT: That was the least surprising ending ever. I was thinking they would stretch it out for at least one more episode, though.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Penny Dreadful: OMG the last five minutes. They really are making this show just for me, aren't they?

I went to the student center for the free wifi and got to renew my Showtime app subscription to watch Penny Dreadful! I was so excited because I had no idea it was back.
So enjoyable.
And before that I watched Outlander: I had forgotten that crazy dinner party.
And then GoT: I'm glad that Ghost was there. . . I really thought that he would have more to do with it. But he did realize that Jon was back.
Also: enjoyed Bran's dreamwalking back to Ned's youth. More happy Stark family scenes: a reminder of what was.
Ramsey Bolton: Patricide, Matricide and fraticide all within an hour: some kind go Hat Trick of Sick Evilness.
BTW, I was somehow able to watch the premiere of Penny Dreadful before it aired: was that some special deal or is that normal?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm assuming Bran's dreamwalking is how we'll eventually find out about Jon's parentage. I thought Ghost would be more important to Jon's story as well.
I haven't seen the Penny Dreadful premiere yet because we were too tired to stay up last night.

Special deal.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Tyrion and the dragons was everything. The mix of awe, fear and excitement when he puts his hand up to touch the dragon's neck was incredible The same with his delighted realization that the other dragon was putting his head down so Tyrion could reach the collar.

Yes - Tyrion and the dragons was excellent. And his comment afterwords.
Aren't they still chained though? Or did I just imagine hearing chains dragging after he'd unlocked the collars?

I think they are unchained.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
They are definitely unchained. And free to wander the catacombs and round up some ROUS or something.
