Look, I know there's been worse (bleep) that's happened in this story, people have been killed, tortured, and mutilated, and I'm not saying this is worse, but I guess I've really come around on Sansa and started to really care. The thought of it was just so ugly, I guess I naively thought she was going to escape it. Her having to submit to that disgusting piece of (bleep) stranger after all she's survived felt like such a defeat. |
I guess it depends on your emotional connection to the character. If Arya was sexually assaulted I'd probably go ape-(bleep). |
The sound effects alone just didn't have enough of an impact on me. |
Theon's reaction was what made it powerful for me. He was the audience's connection to what was happening. |

I'm not a reader of the novels, but if Benioff is doing the same to ASOIAF what he did to the Iliad in Troy, then that gets a big thumbs down from me. |

I was reading a recap of the episode and someone's comment had me cracking up. "The sand snakes need some work. Oberyn looked cool with weapons, they look like Steven Segal's B movie prodigies." |

The fight choreography in general has gone down this year. Way down actually. |

Jorah's fight was better but still meh. Glad Cersei got what's coming to her. I think Theon going to Ramsey was a misdirection, I think he'll light the candle. Was happy to see Ghost again, it had been awhile. Sam's sex scene had me cracking up . Bronn's scene was anti-climactic but I guess they had their hands tied if they didn't want to kill him. Was Melisandre asking to kill Stannis' daughter, I mean I know she was but wow, I couldn't believe it. |

Well that sand snake with short hair is smokin hot. I'd tap that all day everyday and twice on Sundays.
Man watching that smirk on Cersei just slowly disappearing was beautiful. She'll come out of this alive but at least we got to see her fail. Seems like she always wins.
Fight scenes were kinda meh. Very intrigued with the Tyrion-Daenerys storyline.
And yes Melisandre asked Stannis to sacrifice his daughter, kinda insane but we'll see where that goes. Looking forward to Stannis invading Winterfell if that happens this season.

I thought Daenerys only agreed to re-open the fighting pits if the combatants were free men. What an idiotic way to make peace in Meereen by allying herself with people who take pleasure from watching people kill each other for sport.
As soon as Littlefinger met with Olenna Tyrell in secret I knew Lancel was going to take Cersei down. Now Tommen is all alone and it wouldn't surprise me if Baelish tries to take control of him the way he's taken control of Robyn Arryn.
I know Tommen is just a boy but I just don't feel much sympathy for him. When he was crying to his mother, "I'm the king and I can't help her!" it made me think of something Tywinn told Joffrey. "Any man who must say I am the King is no true king."
Tyrion and Daenerys finally meet. Let's hope he can liven up that dull storyline. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant

I'm beginning to wonder if Stannis is going to take Winterfell now or if he sacrifices his ambition, and possibly his life, to save his daughter from Melisandre and his wife.
I think all three of the sand snakes are hot even the psycho one who put a spear through that guy buried up to his neck. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

So a religious cult can just take down kings and queens? Where is their (bleep) army/guards? This doesn't make sense. I'm no Cersei fan, but wth is happening? |

All Tommen has to do is grow a pair and give the order, and he easily could have the power to do something about all this. The only reason why it's even allowed to happen is because people know he's weak. |

I was thinking of Gladiator when Maximus finally fights in front of the Emperor. "My name is Jorah Mormont, victim of the friendzone. And I will have my vengeance." |

I think she was doing it to excite him/raise his blood pressure to get the poison to kick in. |
