So is Trystane gonna get ambushed on the way back to KL? I don't recall Doran mentioning a journey back by sea. Really digging that plot.

Ciaran Hinds is a fine actor but I think they missed the mark on Mance Rayder.

Agreed. Ha yes.. He looks like he added muscle. Interesting...

HAR! That Lancel...

Bronze Yohn should be a more powerful looking person.

Ohhhh I can't fucking wait to see Slynt's head roll across the ground.

I'm dreading this Grey Worm love plot that's bound to happen this season.

I don't believe there was ever word of the Greyjoy uncles being cast? What a shame if they cut them out.

young cersei?!

This feels like a holiday.

Viper vs Mountain was a great scene. I feel like it couldn't of been done any better. Hearing Oberyn scream when he is normally very confident was alarming. Not a fan of the Grey Worm/Missandei bit. It just seems unnecessary and a waste of time. Jorah's departure finally arrived. Weird to think that him and Tyrion will be paired up shortly. I liked the Ramsay scene where Roose declares him a Bolton. Happy to see Grenn, Pyp, and Edd. I feel like they're underrated.

Yes I would've liked that a lot too. I think for the sake of entertainment that it would've been more shocking and intense if he would've revealed it in front of everyone. One of my favorite scenes in the book.

Yeah he hinted to Tyrion that he could champion him but who was to say if he was being serious. He announced and confirmed it during the final trial in front of the whole court.

I'm disappointed in the Tyrion/Oberyn scene because I think this means that he won't be announcing it in front of the whole court like he did in the book which was so awesome due to all of the shocked onlookers and Tywin. I enjoyed the scene I just think it means that they're cutting the final court scene. Hot Pie pop up was cool. Arya/Sandor was a nice couple scenes as well. Dany's scenes were pretty good. Still interested in seeing how they are gonna send Jorah away. LF pushing Lysa out was great. Still get annoyed by his voice from time to time. Sansa slapping Sweet Robin was very satisfying. I find the Mel/whoever is next to her fire-staring scenes really annoying. A decent way of implementing the third Mountain to be on the show. The show has done a pretty bad job of giving the audience a reason to hate The Mountain. The Tyrion/Bronn scene was my favorite. Pretty much word for word from the novel. Overall the episode was pretty good.

The Bloody Gate mention by LF was cool. The Vale is quite the sight to behold. Next week's episode with Braavos looks amazing as well.

Overall solid episode. Jon and NW part was badass. Happy I wasn't on the 'Locke is gonna be Bowen Marsh or something' bandwagon. I'm happy that Bran booked it before talking to Jon. Jojen was right that Jon would impede on their journey. Weird thinking that Jon and Bran haven't spoke to each other since the pilot. The next episode looks like it has potential to be the best this season.

It made me laugh, but yeah, I think he's okay.

You must read with your eyes closed if you're surprised by this.

I'm sure if they thought there was a huge spoiler they would mention it... They understand how popular the books are, obviously, and wouldn't spoil anything significant. This babble tonight about spoilers is comical. If you hadn't realized these things about the walkers by now then you should join the silent sisters.

Right. I don't see Locke being around long-term. I think he'll die at Craster's.

Agreed. I don't feel spoiled in the slightest.

Yet we know who the white walkers are. They've been visible since the first scene in the pilot. Craster's sons are known to be carried away... What do we think happens to them? The walkers nurse them in the local daycare? I feel like finally seeing Ser Pounce was more of a spoiler than this supposed Great Other who placed a nail against a baby's face and converted him/her. Seems like a reason to complain to me. I'm an avid follower of the books, and I could care less at what I saw tonight. You'd think Jaime died at UnCat's hands tonight by this reaction.

I'm missing this super-huge-enormous spoiler that was revealed tonight...

She dismissed him as "Lord Commander." She was more concerned with him having visited Tyrion. Do you really expect Cersei to care about that right now when her son and king just died? Sansa escaped, and she's to marry Loras as well. I don't see why everyone expects her to react like, say Sansa would if she were to be raped. Jaime's had sex with her countless times. It was more of an inconvenience to her than a traumatic event.

Clearly not anymore. The way she dismissed him tonight was indicative of that.
