It's technically a book spoiler, though it probably won't have any impact on the show...

I was really glad that Theon didn't do to Sansa what he did to the victim in the books.

Regarding your last point, I believe there were certainly a hint or three before then.

Also, here's the full history of Ramsay's wife from the books, if you're a masochist. Like DaFace said, probably no spoilers for the show:

This was without a doubt the least enjoyable episode for me in a long time and it had very little to do with the Sansa ending. It was a very disjointed episode and the Dorne/Jamie arc was terrible, as it has been since it started. Aside from the Tyrian/Jorah scene and Littlefinger's excellent fantasy one liner I could take a pass on the episode. Seemed like taking a week off from the wall/Jon Snow was a swing and a miss.

It was probably my favorite episode of the season thus far. I do agree with others though, that the Sand Snakes were a miss.

Sooo awesome.

ROFL

I really can't believe the amount of "outrage" about Sansa's wedding night. This is the same show that gave us incest rape where the only witness was the dead bastard offspring of said incestuous relationship.

The outrage over the outrage is what seems most bizarre and unimportant.

That was awesome!

Theon continues to be a worthless ****.

Yeah. Theon sucks.

Nice little curveball there with the red crazy whore saying Stannis needs to burn his daughter. Wonder where that is going.

Interesting to watch Jorahs story play out. Greyscale will comic are his life I'm sure.

Jon Snow gonna die. Sam gonna die.

Sucks to be Sansa.

Lol at Cersei and holy shit Tyene Sand

Welp. I think I'm beginning to like the Sand Snakes. How about you, fellas? ****, I'm swooning over here. Those tits- c'est magnifique!

Ok, I'm done Game of Thrones.Water Garden, stupid.Gratuitous rape scene disgusting and unacceptable.It was a rocky rideC that just ended.

I didn't see the Cersei thing coming until the High Sparrow started talking about Lancil. That was pretty impressive turn of events.

Up until now, Goeffrey dying is really the only bad blow she'd been dealt. She was going to give the middle finger to old man Lannister, at that point there wasn't any real reason to believe that Dorne was that dangerous for her daughter, and she seemed to give no ****s that Rob Stark captured her love. Now she is in ****ing prison.....

Those were good tits. But the fight scene was pretty bad.

Pretty epic indeed.

Maybe Bronn gets to play hide the cobra later this season.

Somehow that makes me like it even more.

Well Bronn did say in this scene that he was taking it easy on them because they were women. Maybe that makes the weak fight scene a little more tolerable.

And those were GREAT tits. Damn.

Yeah, Stannis needs to take Winterfell so he can burn that POS alive.

Dude. Those tits were ****ing fabulous.

If I were the director, I might have done 30-40 takes.

I'm nine minutes in. This scene with Reek an Sansa is intense!

:bolt:

Oh shit... Poor, poor Reek.

:bolt:

What's their problem with Sam?

:bolt:

Thought I was gonna get some sweet Daenerys boob there. Damn those no nudity clauses.

:bolt:

Ooh. I like that short hair. And her spectacular tits. ****. He's sick. Arm slice.

:bolt:

I love Baelish. Playing the long game. I knew a guy at my first real job out of college like that. Looked exactly like him and had the same vocal cadence.

:bolt:

This is ****ing great! Not sure what happened but **** Cersei.

:bolt:

Ova. I'm lost with the spiritual/Cersei arc though.

Brief background -- the main religion in Westeros (except in Stark lands) is The Seven. The MOther, the Father, the Stranger, the Warrior, etc.

Because of all the troubles during the civil war, and the siege of King's Landing, the peasants increasingly turned to religion for solace. A branch of the main religion developed which was led to the fellow in rags, nicknamed teh High Sparrow. He is and htey are very pious. Religous zealots, basically.

When they caught the High Septon (the normal, "real" leader of the religion) in a brothel, they shamed him. The Septon then goes to Cercei and demands that they punish them, and throw the High Sparrow in prison. Instead, Cercei thinks she sees an opportunity and instead puts the Septon in prison, and goes to the High Sparrow and elevates him to High Septon.

What she doesn't realize is that this guy doesn't give a shit about money, power, prestige, wealth or the Game of Thrones. He won't be doing any quid pro quos. Cercei doubles down on her mistake by allowing them to have their own quasi-military. The Faith Militant. They were banished long ago (precisely because kings couldn't control them).

Fast forward to Sunday's episode -- the dude with the crazy tattoo on his head -- that's Lancel Lannister, Cercei's cousin. He was the guy who (1) spiked Robert's alcohol (at Cercei's bequest) with a stronger alcohol, so he would be extra drunk and hopefully fail when fighting the boar, which happened and led to his death, (2) was ****ing Cercei after Robert died and Jaime left, and (3) got turned by Tyrion into a spy against Cercei after Tyrion intimidated him into it. Shacking up with cousins apparently isn't allowed, so now Cercei is in jail for it.

What hasn't helped is they switched actors for Lancel. They announced this once episode when we see the new actor, and they're like "surely you remember your cousin Lancel" or something.

Stunning tits:

Tommen is going to have to gather his army and clear them out or he's basically ceding his authority to the zealots.
They've imprisoned his brother in law, then his wife and now his mother. He has to do something or the Lannister name is dirt.

It becomes even worse if the Tyrells stop the grain shipments to Kings Landing. Then you have riots again.

The best part about Cercei's imprisonment is that she was only there to gloat. Her ego and arrogance finally led to her apparent downfall.

Great move casting the Sand Snakes. Who ever thought they were bad last week is an idiot.

I see superior acting ability when i see it. And that Sand Snake will be winning an award this year, book it.

For those who were fans of the Tyene Sand scene...

Those tits are absolute perfection.

The fight was bad. I stand by that. Just because one of them has other worldly tits doesn't mean the fight wasn't bad.

Sarcasm my friend. But yes, those titties.

Yea. Don cur, cuz dem tits.

I know it's legal, but 19 year old tits seem just a tad young for me to be looking at. And enjoying immensely in so many ways.

Sooooooo......what happened to Bran Stark and that whole three-eyed raven business?

He has the year off. It's my understanding that the show basically caught up to his book storyline last year.

How did you not see the Cersei thing coming?

I did once she started talking to the high sparrow. But when she brought Marjory her leftovers I thought she had won.

I consider myself a reasonable intelligent guy but that whole arch went right over my head. Not enough boobies I guess.

I think they were insinuating that Baelish told Oleana about Lanciel and Cersci incest. If Tyrion could find out pretty easy Baelish could as well.

Of course, the Queen of Thorns used this. Basically, force Tommen to take on the fanatics.

Oleana knew a while ago. She and Papa Lannister talked about it.

Exactly, this was all brought on strictly by Lancel Lannister. I would go as far as to say you could guess the High Sparrow knew from the beginning but waited until he got everything he wanted from Cerci before he pulled that card. Also showing he can play the Game of Thrones as well.

Yeah. As I said in the spoiler thread, Cersei suffers pretty badly from the Dunning-Kruger effect (which Tywin also pointed out when he was alive). If she were half as clever as she thinks she is, then she'd be rocking the Game of Thrones. Sadly, she's not, so she sucks at it.

When Tormund wants to talk with you, it is in your best interest to agree.

Great episode tonight!!!!

Holy Shit!!! The best episode yet

Fantastic ending to that episode.

Really good episode there.

The army of the dead battle was pretty ****ing good. Not sure the significance of the crazy wildling chick that wouldn't kill dead children was but I'm sure I missed something. The whole valerian steel thing killing the white walker was pretty neat. Did he not have that sword when he stabbed the one dead guy in lord commander mormots chamber? I suppose not. I think he got the sword after that.

The Cersei thing is kind of boring to me. Yeah. She's broken. We get it.

Jorah is having a tough go. I wonder what will happen with his Greyscale? Interesting shit. Either way I don't think he's long for the world. Tyrian and Danyrius' dialog was really well done. Probably the best bit of acting she has done (clothed).

Shit is getting real for Arya. Wonder what they are trying to foreshadow there?

Or at least not imply that he sucks cock. Especially when you're half his size.

They guy in the commander's chamber was just a regular undead. He shattered an actual white walker.

The giant was pretty badass. I hope he becomes a recurring character.

This show is so boring. That episode was nothing but filler. Nothing ever happens in this show.

That was actually just a wight. It seems they can be killed by conventional weaponry and fire.

The white walkers require either dragonglass or Valyrian steel to be put down.

There are really only two classes of those undead, white walkers and wights, right? I get the impression that the skeletons are just wights that have been around long enough to decompose.

I believe so. At least I haven't seen anything to suggest there is anything different.

The **** are you looking at?

Haha, Wun-Wun the Giant was awesome! That line was great, but when he started stomping on the wights with his giant feet, and then batting them with a giant log, I was totally loving it! Giants rule!

I'm so over this show. Not even going to watch the last two episodes.

Funny that one of the best episodes they had and now you guys are ready to quit. ROFL

I think they're being sarcastic.

This forum needs some sort of word or phrase that means "What you just said is so strangely off the mark and wildly divergent from all reason and logic that I suspect you are being sarcastic or silly, and the nuance has just been lost in this text-only form of communication. If you are, I commend you and we can share a back-slapping laugh; however, if you are being serious, and you truly believe that statement as presented, then you I can say without exaggeration or fear of contradiction that you are indeed a blithering, rampaging moron."
