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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Is it wrong that I think the show is better now that they've gone past the books? I haven't read the books yet, but the women seem to have much more agency this season and things are actually happening.

I totally agree, sj.
