Yeah, I'm not enjoying the grossness to food cuts they've been doing.

I will not be pleased if that's a thematic choice they're going for this season.

I'm just heartbroken that Nymeria didn't go with Arya.

I am a big sap and teared up at that. But then, Arya is my ironclad woobie for this show, closely followed by Sam.

EXCEPT THAT JON SNOW IS THE LEE ADAMA OF THIS UNIVERSE AND DOES NOT MAKE GOOD DECISIONS EVER.

At this point, every time Jon makes a decision, I start muttering "NOW DO THE OPPOSITE".

There were a lot of people in this episode!!

Varys remains a favorite along with Tyrion for their abilities to talk.

Sam treating Jorah is so Sam, and so very cringe worthy.

I think I am looking forward to the upcoming scenes with Sansa and Arya as much as those with Jon and Dany. These can go so many different ways.

Mostly it made me anxious to see what is next. This whole watching one episode a week thing is rare for me, and a bit frustrating.

eta: and yeah, they can quit with the whole flash from gore to gory food thing any time please

I subscribed to the NYT GoT newsletter [link] and so far the best line..

Until then, live every day like you're Euron boarding a ship.

From Ask a Maester:

the Stark wolves took on the personalities of their human companions. Robb Stark's Grey Wind dominated the battlefield, playing a crucial role in many of the late King in the North's victories. Rickon's Shaggydog was high-strung and unpredictable and presumably could only run in straight lines. Sansa's Lady was docile and trusting. Bran's Summer was the most magical. And Jon's Ghost is constantly locked in a closet, alone and sad.

So Arya's Namira is a calculated and brutal killer? GOOD TIMES!

That is a man who saw his opening and took it.

OLENNA. I worship you.

I KNOW, Amy.

I feel like "I read the book; I followed the instructions" is the new "I drink and I know things."
