Well, at least now we know Arya is definitely *not* going to be a faceless man. Good, she needs to get back to Westeros.

Plus, Sam's story was totally lame until he took the valerian sword. Well done to him.

The middle of Westeros is becoming a complete clusterf*ck. Well, as long as Walder Frey dies some horrible death, hopefully just after he's learned that Bolton killed off his daughter and grandson, it'll be good.

Don't see how the Blackfish is going to be able to come to the Starks' aid when Jamie is going to be leading an offensive against him at the same time.

AND, we have to wait god knows how many more episodes for that sanctimonious douchebag sparror to finally be killed. UGH.

Time for Dany to hook up with the Greyjoys and get back to the southern part of Westeros. In fact, it's time for all of the major characters to get back to Westeros.

This show is beginning to feel like a medieval fantasy child of the Matrix and Lost. I liked both ... but my mind is melting.

So I do not know for sure, but at some point the first men knew that the Children were spying on them using the weirwood trees, so men started chopping them down.

Also, Bran is able to affect the past, but the Blood Raven (old guy in tree) said that the past is already written, the ink is dry- whatever is going to happen with Bran affecting the past has already happened- like Hodor- it was destined to still happen that way, so he isn't altering the past as he is fulfilling his role in it instead I guess, if that makes sense.

It's been a while since I read it, but I seem to recall from the World of Ice and Fire history of Westeros that the First Men and the Children did fight over land, but that it was the Andals that chopped down the wierwoods. The first Men worshipped the same gods as the Children, the same old gods that the north still worships, the trees and such. The Andals came much later and brought the Seven, the new gods, and they chopped down the trees of the old gods. But the Long Night was 8000 years ago and definitely involved the First Men, way before the Andals, and the Children and the First Men fought together to defeat the Others.

So basically I'm really confused about the Children creating the Others and I wonder if that will happen in the books.

Fire and blood! I loved Dany on Drogon.

Didn't like this week's episode at all. Also: I hate Tommen.

The Lannisters could eff up getting laid in a whorehouse.

On the show. Sansa isn't married to Ramsey (yet?) in the books.

Sansa won't marry Ramsay in the books. Jeyne Poole did (he was pretending she was Arya and that he'd married a Stark to lay claim to the north), and she's the one Theon rescued from Winterfell. Sansa's arch is different in the books.

So maybe this means Sansa is NOT pregnant with Ramsey's child.

Not necessarily on the show. Just not in the books.

Why would it mean that?

The sword was given to Jaime by Tywin. I think Jaime gave it to...Brienne?

Yes, Ned Stark's large Valaryian steel sword was melted into two swords: Jaime gave his to Brienne. Joffrey received the other, but we haven't seen it in awhile.

Ok. Thanks. So Snow and Brienne can slay wightwalkers if it comes down to it. And there is another sword out there. Got it.

There are others floating around, too. House Tarly (Sam's family) has one; so does a family or two loyal to the Greyjoys. So maybe Sam's silly quest will bring another sword into play.

In the books, there are something like a few hundred in Westeros. Lots of the Houses have one or two ancestral blades, plus some people in Essos have them, too.

Specifically to make people stop asking for male nudity to balance all the female tits and ass. Because no one needs to see any more of that on a 42" screen.

Well I missed that. I take it wasn't a flashback to the dick in the box courtesy of Ramsey?

I missed it too, where was the scene and whose was it?

Just be glad It was totally gratuitous and totally nasty.

It took me a second to realize what I was looking at.
