Hello all! Once the spoiler ban is lifted on F&B I'll revisit this list to make some changes. I won't update based on the WoW released chapters though, those will wait until the book.

Rome wasn't unmade in a day.

Nice! I was thinking about the Red Priests he had. I wonder if he has learned anything about bringing something back to life from them. I can only see a few possibilities. Either Theon voids the KM as you say, or he stands for Asha and agrees to be her Hand. I don't see the IB voting his way, they seem to be suspicious of his "Greenland" nature.

Nice catch! IMO it's bc he considers himself an "Old God" since he has the Gift. The only other time we see impalement and gods is during Bran's coma dream.

It's the only reason I could see the FM accepting an egg, if that's what actually happened.

If I were a FM and I could get a dragon egg I would take it just to keep it out of the hands of someone who might actually hatch/use it.

Welcome! Pshat, I wouldn't be surprised if he did! But I haven't seen the theory. Mel made her leeches seem like blood magic with only what little they could hold, Varys lost his man-parts for blood magic. Why not tongues?! I think it's more like what Tyrion explained to Cersei: So what is it that his mutes know that he doesn't want others learning?

I gave it an 8. I really liked it and thought it moved the story along well. It was nice to have a bit of plot building after the insane dramatics of last week. Arya - Her giggling through Joff's death scene was great. I loved the advice she gave Lady Crane. "She would be mad that she didn't get to say goodbye...now I have to go see my father". And Needle...I got chills. I think she'll kill Waif. The Waif's desire to kill Arya seems to go against the FM so I'm interested to see if Jaqen is setting up Waif or not. Jaime - Looks like he never lost his hand. I was surprised by his dismissal and Cersei's indifference to it. Even though there's been a big divergence from the books it looks like his destiny is tied in with Brienne's in the Riverlands. Marg - WTF?! Is she taking her situation into her own hands or has she been completely brainwashed? HS - Ohhh, he know what's up. Playing their game well. Suckas! ColdJen - He's back, yay! I knew it as soon as I saw his eyes. The scarf covering his mouth was indicative of CH. And when he was skinning the squirrel I was thinking of his Elk. And they did a good job of giving him Black hands. Nicely tied together. I like that we know he's "alive" but it'll be a different reveal in the books since they are different people. I'm glad he had answers for Bran. Bran - HOLY SHIT those visions! Bloody Hand (Lyanna), Wildfire, the Mad King, so fricking much! Although I need to see some emotion from him soon about Hodor and Summer. Perhaps once they are out of immediate danger? The Bran we've all come to know, the sweet boy would be heartbroken over his loss. I never thought I'd be so happy to see the Mad King. BURN THEM ALL! Dany - Uh, is she paying attention to Daario? I don't think he's happy with his dragon love. When she burned down the temple in Vahes Dothrak he seemed hesitant to kneel with Ser Jorah. And his conversation with her this week wasn't complimentary. I think he was stating a fact that she's a conqueror and he didn't seem glad about it. Dany, what happened to your horse? Lord Tarley - I expected him to be a HUGE dick. I was not disappointed. Lady Tarley is adorable! I love the way little Sam lite up and went to her easily. Kids and dogs know a persons true self. Heartsbane - DAY-UM Sam, Coward my ass. He grew some stones!

If I may...

Euron, the Abomination in my sig line. Yay! Though I didn't make the "agent of the Others" connection.

I agree. What is Westeros coming to when the HS puts more trust in a whore than the Queens?!

That's what I understood but for the life of me I can't figure out why Olena would agree to this. Surely she knows Cersei is setting her up? She's not even being sneaky about it. Is she that desperate to get Loras and Marg back that she'd take such a risk? Maybe I'm confusing the books and the show, but I thought Cersei's walk was bc she confessed to some of the allegations but denies the others. Her walk was kind of like being bailed out of jail. She had to give up something in order to leave the Sept to await trial. I thought the charges against Marg were flimsy, just the 1 accuser and she's being tried by the Faith.

I think I'm missing something regarding the Small(est) Council meeting. It sounded to me like Cersei was encouraging the Tyrell Army to enter KL to save Margery and Loras and that the Lannisters would stay out of the fight. Why would Olena be ok with this? Did I miss something?

Did you read my follow up? Another post helped me make more sense of what I saw/understood.
