I guess the writers needed to make sure Locke gets his job done with Bran without everyone noticing. | ||

Iron bank and stannis are about to be a good force against the throne. And dany is stuck across the world for another 2 seasons. good episode i guess. Love hearing about the eire and the blood gate. little finger is my fav char and he's coming along nicely. Harrenhal, riverlands, eire, has the hier to winterfell and the north. I want to see him sit in that throne! | ||

Why would anyone support him if people don't really know who he is... Who controls it right now? Petyr looked really scary since he rules the Riverlands, has lots of influence over The Vale, has the heir to the throne of Winterfell as far as most people know.... That makes him not far away from being Lorg of 3 of the 7 great Kingdoms in westeros. As for the episode, I thought the fight at Craster's was rather short, feel like the ending was too rushed. I was really sad that Bran and Jon didn't meet, but understandable. Besides that, nothing really surprising. There is so many characters right now, and it makes the story move so slowly, which is rather annoying. Ah well, hoping we will see some climactic event in the next episode or two as it has been quite slow for the last three episodes now. Harrenhal is nothing, it's a big destroyed castle with almost no usesable lands around it and what's left of the riverlands has been destroyed in the war. Baelish is also not the Lord of the Riverlands that would be Walder Frey. | ||

It's her own fucking fault. She shouldn't have fucking ratted Ned out to Cersei. "Oh PLEASE don't take me away from my darling Prince Joffrey and my glamorous life at court....." She was a dumb, stupid naive teenage girl. If she had just kept her mouth shut she might still have two parents AND an older brother to say nothing of the countless of commoners and lesser lords that have died in the war. | ||

Seems like everyone wants a bite of it. The Boltons, the Tullys, the Freys, and Baelish as well, hmm. Not a fun place to rule. Harrenhal has it's significance though, it's often referred to as the largest castle in the seven kingdoms. | ||

I've been waiting since the first episode for Sansa to stop being so lame. Not that she isn't an interesting character in her own way, but she has no backbone whatsoever. In a world inhabited by so many strong female characters, Cersei, Catelyn Stark, Brienne, Shae etc. there's a whole story line around a girl who can't do anything to help herself. | ||

Couldn't have said it better. Great article. Sansa has survived so far exactly because she is what she is, that's some kind of strength. I guess. | ||

That article is a joke but I've liked Sansa since like the end of S1. I think it's funny you think Sansa has no backbone but put Cersei/Shae there (also, where's Arya!?). Remember S2E9 where Cersei basically lost her shit in front of her court and ran off to poison Tommen and herself? Sansa held it together like a boss for the entire court. And Shae... really? Shae is a spoiled little ***** who did nothing but whine for half her screentime. I'd also argue Sansa is a stronger character than Catelyn. Sansa remained strong even in powerless/hopeless situations whereas Catelyn was always in a position of power she knew she could abuse. Meanwhile, Sansa's had to deal with more adversity in the past few years than Catelyn Stark had to deal with in her entire life. Catelyn was hypocritical and wreckless - and there's a difference between strength and stupidity. Also, Sansa has helped herself on multiple occasions (including tonight, where she knew exactly what to say to Lysa to turn off her batshit-crazy mood). Sansa isn't cowardly or stupid; she just started the show extremely naive and idealistic but she's held it together pretty well and stayed strong in spite of all the adversity thrown her way. | ||

It seemed cheesy to me the way they just charged in and started hacking away. Haha yes this so much. They were like 'it's a new moon, we attack at sundown'. Next scene they run in screaming before they're even inside crastors barricades alerting everyone. Pretty dumb and it lost them 5 men :-/ Also, it's interesting that the lannisters kept their spending so high if the mines were dry for a year. Makes little sense, was quite a shocking revelation to me. Other than that really cool episode, finally Danaeris has something not going exactly as she'd hoped. | ||

I think he said mines were dry for 3 years. And wedding way mostly paid by Tyrells. | ||

Sansa literally has no power over anything in her life. Since basically the first season she's been in a position where simply saying something out of line could get her killed. She acted stupid for a little while in the beginning, and has spent around three seasons of the show paying for it. She's been told (wrongly) every member of her immediate family has been killed, and has been mocked over and over for it. Her home was burned to the ground. She's now on her third arranged marriage, to another person she doesn't want to marry. She has nothing at all right now. I mean, if you can't at least pity someone in that position, you don't have much empathy. | ||

My jaw literally dropped when Lysa and Littlefinger planned Jon's death from the very start. Like holy shit. Speaking of which, how does Cersei and Jaime fit into that assassination plot? I was pretty convinced they were the ones who poisoned Jon, but Lysa said something like "Putting the drops in the cup". So Im assuming she was the one who literally did it, and Jaime and Cersei sanctioned it? I dont even know. edit: Im also super happy about the new Brienne x Pod duo. Its like having a second Arya x Hound pairing. This is what the show needs for comic relief, I love it. | ||
