Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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

When Sansa and Jon met at the beginning of the episode, I got all excited: "Holy shit, they're actually MOVING THE PLOT FORWARD."

I started chanting "I need a hug! I need a hug!" as soon as Jon saw her come through the gate.

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

Sansa and Jon working together! Tormund/Brienne!! Khaleesi on fire!!! (At some point the Dothraki are going to stop being impressed by that trick.)

Also for some reason the Iron Islands are still a thing.

(And oh, my heart, Outlander 2x6. I have many feels.)

Because books.

Tormund and Brienne eyeing each other up and down was perfect.

The friction between Daario and Jorah is also delicious.

My only beef is Ramsay -- they've taken him into mustache-twirling caricature now.

Ramsay is the new Joffrey.

Poor Osha. I would have like to have seen more of her.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Ramsay is the new Joffrey.

He's worse. Joffrey was FUN to hate. With Ramsay, every time he makes an appearance, I just groan and yell "WE GET IT, HE'S THE EVILEST OF EVILONIA" then I flash forward through his scenes.

He's gotten surprisingly boring.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Well, Joffrey had a ramp-up to super-awful, and a lot of similarly- or more- powerful characters around him (e.g. Tyrion slapping him) to help keep him in check. Ramsay started super-awful from the get-go and has cleared the field around himself, so, at this point, it's basically the writers throwing characters at him to be awful to until (probably late this season) someone is finally in a position to take him down. I don't think anyone actually thought Osha would be successful, and I don't think there will be any other compelling possibilities untill the Great Band of Northern Asskicking goes to Winterfell.

OMG, that may have been the most gut-wrenching and sad thing ever. I'm broken.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Both my DH and I were crying.
