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.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm quite certain that some day, years from now, somewhere there's going to be an elevator packed with people, and somebody is going to come running up shouting, "Hold the door," and at least six people in that elevator are going to break down sobbing.

I did love the Braavosi Shakespearean company (led by Richard E. Grant, no less!), even though their play was putting poor Arya to the test.

Because books.
HODOR. I just can't. It was too much. ::still sniffling::
Arya's storyline is the one that's irritating me right now, simply because it's so stalled. You are A Girl, you're not A Girl, you are One of Us, you'll never be One of Us, you can fight, you can't fight ... I want something to happen there, finally.

SERIOUSLY. Hoping this mission of hers gives us something actually compelling to watch.

Yeah, it seems like there's always one storyline that stalls pretty badly each season. Like the showrunners can't figure how to really advance the story for that character in the season, but they don't want you to forget about them, so the character just kind of spins their wheels.

Also, a day later and still in shock, I feel like George R. R. Martin has completely blown Joss and Tim out of the water for Most Emotionally Traumatizing Character Death Ever.

I didn't care for this episode. Didn't ring true for me.
