that was a really good episode.

 

[Drizzle]

Could have been the best of the season so far.

 

[Victarion]

...Mel and Selyse are gonna go behind Stannis's back. Winterfell scenes were great. There's some nice "I've made a serious mistake" gif material in those Cersei scenes before the septas drag her away.

 

[squeekness]

It's all going by way too fast and then another year of waiting.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

I swear to god, if there's another "social justice" outcry about Sansa this week, I'm going to lose it.

 

[Victarion]

Well, JJJ, you'll be pleased to know they're upset over Ramsay flaying that old lady and showing off the corpse.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Oh, of course they are. Why wouldn't they be? Outrage is an industry now.

 

[Victarion]

Almost like they forgot that the Queen of Thorns, Margaery, and Cersei are characters in the show. Oh and Yara Greyjoy too. And Danaerys...and that Theon was castrated, Bran crippled...and that Arya is doing all right...the show strikes me as pretty egalitarian.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Not to mention Brienne. And the late Lady Stark. Both very strong female characters. Anyway I'm making the thread off-topic so I'll stop.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I love the Queen of Thorns, she is just the best. I am more invested in all the womens storylines this season then with Jon or Stannis tbh.

 

[Victarion]

Olenna confronting the High Sparrow was pretty entertaining as was her exchange with Littlefinger.

 

[Six]

I love Dornish women

 

[Asteroid-Man]

I love Dornish women

You and me both.

Great episode but not a fan of Sansa's storyline. I was defending the scene last week but now it looks like they'll just do the torture of the week with her, as they did with Theon.

That's what happened to Jeyne so that's what I expect. It won't be over for Sansa until she can get through to Theon.

Oh and Dornish women... I think Im in love.

Whatching Cersei being dragged and thrown into a cell was almost as satisfying as Joffrey getting his comeuppance.

Samwell's "oh my gods" moment was perfect. Every guy can relate to that first..."moment".

How exactly did Ramsay figure out who told Sansa to light the candle? Sansa didn't tell Reek who the old lady was did she?

The snow is really coming down now.

Jaime is still in desperate need of a decent plotline this season.

Calling it now. Selyse is going to be burned at the stake and Stannis will NOT be happy.

The look on Dany's face when Tyrion tells her his name...priceless.

 

[Evelisse]

To Sam.

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

sam and gilly.

 

[Greens]

D&D finally made a good decision not showing Sam's fat mast.

 

[Kane52630]

Definitely the best episode thus far this season.

 

[chamber-music]

This was the first episode the Sand Snakes were interesting

I think Bronn is the luckiest guy in the Seven Kingdoms. Bronn seems like the only guy to go though this world who comes out better off on the other side.

Cersei is a a petty and vindictive woman. Like Tyrion predicted her scheming blew up in her face.

Never trust religious fanatics.

I love the Queen of Thorns. Olenna seems like the only person in besides Varys who sees straight through Littlefingers BS.

Sam needs to take Gilly and little Sam out of Castle Black. Forget that oath nonsense. Your not safe.

Looks like Ramsay took Theon's balls as as well as his ****.

 

[Lencho01]

Definitely the best episode thus far this season.

Agreed.

 

[Drizzle]

Great episode but not a fan of Sansa's storyline. I was defending the scene last week but now it looks like they'll just do the torture of the week with her, as they did with Theon.

The major difference here is that nobody apart from the Greyjoys seemed to know or care that Theon was in Bolton custody. Sansa won't be in this situation for long. Stannis's army is marching towards Winterfell and Brienne is keeping a close watch as well. Not to mention Theon is overdue for some redemption and it's basically a given that he's going to come back to his senses and help Sansa, probably before the season is over.
