Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Aurelia - did you think this was the secret origins of Dale Cooper? I didn't understand it but thought it might be that-

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

No, that's about a decade too early for Cooper. The teen couple could be Leland's parents though, which would mean Bob had always possessed him.

I'm amused with the Laura as Athena to the Giant's Zeus imagery. And I'm choosing to believe that the whole silent film scene actually took so long that Laura's creation wasn't complete until 1971.

Has Game of Thrones done a cold open before?

Because books.

With the last episode of S6, right? The explosion of the Sept?

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

Has Game of Thrones done a cold open before?

The series premiere is a cold open isn't it?

Getting dragged around on a sled really stretches a person out.

Hoooooly shit, Arya.

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

I loved Sansa's line to Littlefinger, something like "YOu don't need to have the last word. I'm sure it would have been something clever."

Tormund + Brienne 4ever.

Loved Jim Broadbent's character.

At this point, I want Sansa on the Iron Throne, and Arya as the Queen's Hand.

Tormund + Brienne 4ever.

HIS FACE! Whenever he looks at her!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Brienne's so not into him, though. Like, at this point, it's a little stalkery.

I do not like previouslies. I wish they'd let me watch without them. It makes it so I figure out what's going on way sooner than they want me to.

So, we have Bran back in the mix to be the information vector for Jon's parentage. We didn't get the kind of shot that would telegraph the "Bran crosses the Wall and Bad Things happen." hypothesis.

Arya Stark, blowing through her List like a badass. And then joining Sandor on the "rediscovering humanity" train. As threads start converging, I'm looking forward to some of these characters meeting.

Jaime...this is when you leave. This is when you find yourself a rowboat or a donkey or excuse or whatever and clear the fuck out of dodge.

Jon being surprisingly egalitarian...and I really hope we're not going to get another verse and chorus of "if only the men had listened to the ladies" with Sansa.

I'm torn between "it will happen" and "near miss" on Jon and Dany teaming up, making use of the information from Sam and Bran.

It seems weird to me that there aren't Jr Maester dorms. Do we know how Jorah got there?
