    Hot pie sighting!
    Nymeria either doesn't recognize Arya since is almost non human now OR she is holding a grudge.  
    Jorah is a fucking beast.
    Damn, theon was almost likeable this season.  
    Some good shit.

    The 3rd sand snake is still alive right?  I thought they just showed 2 of them being killed.  Looked like the 3rd one got taken hostage with Ellaria.

    Good call - believe you are correct.  They are Cersei bait now.

    What the fuck is a sand snake? I've watched every episode of this show, and I have no clue what in sweet heaven's name y'all are on about.

    My wife has to watch twice because she spends the first time around explaining everything to me, sighing her annoyance the whole time.

    It's too boring for me to watch a second time. I like the Kurosawa moments when blood sprays everywhere. That red wedding was awesome for that aspect. Also, boobies. I like boobies. That is, of course, when they're not being exposed by an act of rape or incest, which is about half the time on this show.

    Other than that, though, there is so very little to hold my interest. And I've noticed it sucks a lot worse since the showrunners have had to make do without any source material.

    Sand Snakes are the 3 illegitimate daughters of the former Prince Oberyn Martell of Dorne, whose head was popped like a zit by the former Mountain (Gregor Clegane) / now the resurrected Zombie called Robert Strong.

    They were meant to be both beautiful and deadly.  The pirate made short work of 2 of them.

    Edit -- in the book there were 8 Sand Snakes.  They were called this because poppa was known as the Red Viper and Sand is the bastard name in Dorne

    Your lovely bride and I both need to watch the show 2x for the same reason(s).
    Also, because it is bad-ass

    I remember the headcrushing thing. That was Cronenberg-level fucking awesome! 

    So the guy who crushed the head is a zombie now? You mean a white walker? Is that in the show or in the books?

    Other than the white walkers, I don't recall seeing any zombies -- that is, unless we're counting John Snow as a zombie.

    He is Cersei's bodyguard.  Her pet maester brought him back to life.  (In that was he is a different sort of zombie from those other undead folks on the show)

    And more unnecessary than the Ed Sheeran cameo.

    What a line from Lady Tyrell.  Sad to see her go...what a way to go out!

    I think everyone's standards have been lowered by the mollifying showrunners.

    Jesus Christ! Are the dragon lady and the brooding zombie going to adopt a puppy together in the next episode?

    So long as they don't bang.  The brother/sister is enough, we don't need niece/nephew action.  (Although the books detail that the family was big on keeping it 'within the family.')

    I thought there was some good stuff.  I like seeing Cersei off her leash.

    I guess HBO was hacked and they are releasing a bunch of spoilers.  Ugh

    Neat. A hack about which people will actually care.

    You can spoil a nation, but don't you dare spoil a past-its-prime fantasy television series.

    Hopefully we get to see hot-body Melisandre one more time before series end.

    Nice to see two end games of two different poisonings in this episode. The exchange between Jamie and Olenna at the end was great.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I hope we get to see old-body Melisandre once more time.

    ^^^I will wait until the individual shows air on Sunday nights. It helps ease the sting of the weekend being over.

    I'm weird like that. Like I don't look for or try to find out spoilers either. Even with concerts. Like when I saw Roger Waters a couple weeks ago, I didn't loo at what his setlists were because I wanted to be surprised. Or Tom Petty (one of my top 3 favorites)...he's putting on the exact same show every time. If I look at one of his setlists, I can tell what he'll play at the next show and when he'll play it. I prefer the anticipation! :)
