I also thought it was funny when tommen asked if he was hurting her because she was making noise (moaning).

That whole scene weirded me out because Tommen just looks so young compared to Margaery.

That's the point.

Tommen is even younger in the books.

[joy]

I used to really like Jaqen H'gar but I straight up don't understand him. "Girl wants this," "Girl must be nobody." "Girl has a coin."

Wtf. I'm assuming this all makes sense one day but I wish he wasn't so Yoda.

I cheered when Arya hid Needle instead of throwing it in the water. GOOD FOR YOU! Dude is weird and you may need that one day.

Did anyone else think Sansa looked just like her mother when they rode up on the horses? It was so weird for a second.

Oh, no - I didn't think of that.

HOWEVER, Jon Snow was ALL Ned Stark with his sword and fur cloak before beheading Slynt. I realize they did it on purpose, but it was still nice.

Finally stepping in here. I really enjoyed last night's episide. Although I am a book reader, I have decided to just take the show at face value. Too much is different now to be able to count on anything.

I loved the dig at Cersei from Margaery. She is a force to be reckoned with. The Sparrows will prove to be interesting. Jon Snow = badass. The true king in the north, even if he never leaves the black.

I cannot wait to see what happens with Sansa. The only way for her to redeem herself in my eyes is to take control of her own destiny and become a force in the north.

Also, I need more Tyrion in my life. Even though his character has the most boring scenes, lately, he draws my attention.

I have my guesses about who is under the sheets in the weird ex-maester's lab. I can't wait to see where they go with that!

I think it was the dark hair pulled back and the dark cape thing she was wearing. She's not dressing in King's Landing style anymore. She seems to be becoming more Stark again.

And yes, Jon made me think back to the very first episode when Ned had to sentence that guy who ran away.

1. WTF with the Sansa /Bolton storyline
2. With the serving woman saying the North remembers I'm hoping theres an uprising leading to Sansa in power and the Boltons killed. They're both creepy, especially the Bastard, even if he's been legitimized.

I was thinking along the same lines. That maybe there's still a group of people loyal to the Starks, even if they haven't shown themselves so far. I doubt they would put that line in there just for the hell of it. \

[zombiesquad]

My thoughts (so sorry if some of these have already been said and I don’t read the books):

Love Jon Snow! Unlike my thoughts with Dany last week, I didn’t think for a second he would spare Janos’s life—and not just because he was a scaredy cat. The North remembers and I wonder if Janos’s part in selling out Ned Stark had something do with his motivation.

The exchange between Cersei and Margery was awesome. I can’t imagine anyone but Lena Headley playing Cersei. They are both smart women so I wonder if either can outsmart the other. Cersei seems to have found an ally in the High Sparrow.

I don’t trust Littlefinger, but I don’t think he is planning to just marry Sansa off to Ramsay and be done with it. What would be his motivation? There’s something else going on. But I love how Sansa got it together when she greeted them. She’s smart, too.

Is Arya really ready to give up her identity? Clearly not since she hid Needle in the rocks.

Loved hearing Brienne and Podrick’s backstories.

I also assume it was the Mountain on the table.

What is Mormont up to?

Slow episode, but so much going on.

I about had a heart attack at the end when Mormont grabbed Tyrion. I swear, if he gets killed off, I don't think I could go on watching. (I would but a severe tantrum would be thrown)

He's not supposed to die, so if they kill him off I'm rage quitting.

From what Littlefinger said to Bolton in the episode last night, Littlefinger plans to unite the Vale and the north to overthrow the Lannisters - this is how Baratheon came to power (by uniting these groups to overthrow the Targaryens).

I could be wrong - I haven't read the books - but he did make a statement like this.

[ugotstarbucked]

I lost my shit at the Sansa plot. Like stood up and yelled at the screen. I don't see how they can just implant her into another character's plot line this way - Sansa had a clear storyline to follow in the Eyrie.

I'm loving the Bravos scenes. It will be interesting to see how they transform Arya as she starts training.

Jon Snow is boss. I was definitely giving him the "you go, Glenn Coco."

Tommen and Margaery are icky. He's so young!

SPOILER: Click to show

Now that the pretext of Margaery's virginity is off the table, I guess Cersei won't be able to get her imprisoned by the Sept. I'm still hopeful for Cersei's imprisonment and walk of shame though.

I'm sure she'll try to get her imprisoned for something else. Andplusalso If there is no walk of shame I am totally rage quitting.

Tyrion going to Dany?  Yes, but Mormont doesn't know that.  Mormont probably has had no contact with anyone since his expulsion from Mereen.

I'm totally speculating, by the way.

No!!  Haha.  Sorry.  I was just making a joke about poor Mormont.  His life is not going as planned; the plan being: love Dany, get Dany to love him, have a lot of sex with Dany, marry Dany, die happy.

The Faceless men have no names. He can't call her Arya because she's not Arya anymore. Technically, his name isn't Jaqen H'gar. He simply calls himself "a man" and her "a girl."
I like Jon and think he's a badass but my favorite character is still Arya.

In theory I understand that he's a Faceless man, etc.  But, I don't understand exactly what they are, what purpose they serve, and why Arya wants to be one, exactly.  It just hasn't been explained, which is fine, but I'm struggling to understand motivations and what part this plays in the bigger story.  I'm assuming that it will all make sense one day, but it just doesn't click for me right now.

I've read some of the books (1, 3 and beginning of 4) so maybe I should go read more and it will all make sense :-)

My neighbor, who has read the books, was saying that in the book that character is never described to be Jaqen H'gar. He's described as a kindly man, or kindly faced man - something like that, she couldn't remember the specifics. She commented that she thought it was interesting they chose to use Jaqen H'gar as that character. 

[goldenlove3]

These "Faceless" people kind of remind me of the Guilty Remnant in The Leftovers.

They're a group of assassins. If you remember season 1, the King's Council wanted to have a Faceless Man take out Dany. But Ned was like "Hey now, she's just a child." The House of Black and White is their headquarters (for lack of a better word). It's a place where people go to die in front of whatever good they believe.
Kudos to you for reading the books. I got through the first but halfway through the second I got too bored. I'll just let DH explain everything to me.

[ugotstarbucked]

joy Arya has several chapters in book 5, it'll make sense as you finish book 4 and read book 5.
