I wish they would touch on what happens to these cities after she frees the slaves and kills the masters. There is a big power vacuum plus a complete reordering of the structure of society. It's not like the jobs the slaves were doing don't need to be done, nor can I imagine that the slaves are rushing back to do the same jobs only as free men now. They are beginning to touch on it with the head unsullied maybe realizing that he is still effectively a slave as he is following the path his slave masters drilled into him.

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
Yeah, I misheard what he said entirely because of some background noise outside my house. He fed a "prized" partridge to his "starving" kids. "Prized" sounded like poisoned and when he said "me starving kids" it sounded like "three hundred kids". LOL.
Carry on.
Yeah, was really bothersome. Looked too damn clean. Otherwise, great episode.
Wait, you mean you don't watch with subtitles? It's the only way, dude.

But then I don't look at the scenes...and concentrate too much on reading. :|

Seriously ? You can't make out everything that's being said ?
It was really just certain shots that contributed to the overall negative vibe I was getting from the episode. For the most part the show looked beautiful like it always does.
What bothered me the most was the dialogue in this episode. The discussion between Littlefinger and Sansa about the how's and why's of Joffrey's death, the Meereen slaves discussing the prospect of a revolt, Olenna using the expression "it was all the rage back then"... Too much of it lacked subtlety or just felt corny. GoT's dialogue usually manages to be interesting without sounding like obvious exposition or being cheesy, which is one of my favorite things about the show. I still enjoyed the episode but it was lacking in that area.

I hope something interesting happens with Theon soon. I really liked his character but his whole torture and Reek plot line has been boring....
Its her's
Its her's
I generally won't watch a movie/show without subtitles. Not distracting at all, and sometimes you mishear things.
it was the right decision, the slave masters did some seriously chaotic evil shit. Barristan pleading for their lives was kind of weird really. She could have chosen a slightly less cruel method of execution perhaps but then again crucifixion used to be rather common in ancient times
I feel like now that Joffrey is gone they've intentionally cranked up her 'un-likeability' to constantly give the viewers someone that they want to see horribly murdered immediately.
I completely agree with this post. She's manipulating well.
he was sent north to kill the Stark boys and is hoping for Snow to lead him to them
Just seems like an interesting thing to happen right after Tywin said that quote. Maybe it marks the beginning of Dany making some choices that will finally have some real consequences? I hope so, because things are going a bit too swimmingly for her. She's just cruising through a bunch of heavily fortified cities like it's nothing which is getting a bit silly/boring to be honest.
Perhaps it's time for some drama again in her story.
WHERE ARE MY DRAGONS
His story was BS to get Jon to sympathize with him (he got caught stealing a partridge for his starving kids). He works for the Boltons.
In a previous episode, Ramsay gets Theon/Reek to admit that Bran and Rickon are still alive. When prodded, Theon also says a likely place for them to seek refuge would be with their brother Jon Snow at the wall, So Roose Bolton tasks Locke (guy who cut off Jaime's hand) with going north to take care of the Stark boys, with promise of a lordship should he succeed.
So he obviously just joined to be closer to Jon, and see if he knows anything about Bran and Rickon. Lo and behold he has now volunteered for the group going to Craster's, where Bran and Rickon are currently held.
Oh right. Now I remember. thanks.
Ya, I had forgotten of that scene with Bolton. This will be interesting.
Off camera. Basically as was mentioned, he's Bolton's man, and sent after Theon said the boys were probably with Jon Snow beyond the wall.
Yup, however I just now realized that the one dude in the Night's Watch, the one who convinced the guy who hates Jon Snow to let him go after Crastor's killers, is the same guy who was Captain of the City Guard in King's Landing who was removed by Tyrion after the baby killing fiasco.
So many characters, good thing I recently rewatched the entire series to understand all the connections and characters.

Thanks, totally forgot about that.
Great episode. Dat Jotunheim and the Frost Giants at the end. 
First thing that came to mind. Can't wait to find out more about these king whitewalkers or whatever they are.
I wish Bran and his wizard friends would get gutted. Fuck off. Jon and co can then wipe out the rebels, rescue the wolves and bang Leia. Boom. God bless Gandalf.

Yup. It's hard to remember stuff sometimes since there are so many characters. I had rewatched seasons 1-3 before this season started. I would have been lost otherwise.
Damn, that's who that is! First time I've really been legitimately like "who?". I guess I had to fail eventually.

Am I the only one who is scared that Sansa is being taken to the place with the crazy familiy member of Cathlyn Stark? That insane woman who was breast feeding her 12 year old son. goddammit.. of all the horrors in this show, this is by far the most creepy.
I HATE THAT WOMAN AND HER CREEPY KID.
I really feel for Sansa. Really. Sure she doesn't haven't the resolve of Arya or Bronn, but she has been through some tough shit.
The fact that Briar is going after her was awesome.
In my mind this was a great episode. I really would like to see the Tygerians knocking on Kings Landing. Dary's men are so such an amazing crew. ALL of them.

I like Bran.
Um yeah. Peter already mentioned that to Sansa.

I doubt it would happen, but how awesome would it be if the show started following the point of view of the white walker dude on the horse or just any white walker really. It really felt like I was watching a different show at the end there: weird ice castle ceremonial circle thing, a line of menacing figures dressed in black, some ice-king guy with horns turning babies to ice-babies for unknown reasons. I need to know more about all this but I fear were just going to be getting rare glimpses like the one last night, atleast for a while longer.
On a side note, I have no idea what story threads will come and go but could HBO even afford it if the story takes a turn into white walker land? We're already seeing how they can't just have CG dragons on screen every episode.

Was Jeor Mormont Jorah's brother or father? Wish he'd run into those mutinous bastards.
Father.
Have to agree with whomever mentioned earlier that things just seem to be going way too easy for Dany. She's already conquered 3-4 cities and lost basically nothing, compare that to the wars being fought over in Westeros.
These are cities with giant walls and buildings too, although I guess they weren't built with warfare in mind like the castles.

Now I'm going to end up with fantasies about being seduced by Margery. Oh well, could be worse I guess.
Oh wow. I never connected those two.
Oh wow, didn't know that the actor who is playing Margaery is 31 and Tommen is 16.
FTFY
Something that has thrown me off this episode is that Littlefinger said he is getting married to a relative of Sansa. This has to be true because he is going directly to where that woman is with Sansa so I have to wonder how Littlefinger is going to bed Sansa. I can't see any scenario where he can pull this off with Sansa's consent while the other woman is alive.

I expect all of them to die.
Understandable, the show never really delved into their connection. It was mentioned in Season 1 though.
Marry Lysa. Kill Lysa and her son. Marry Sansa.
That's the way I see it happening.

Don't be rude. Not everyone is going to expect a fantasy story to have fantasy elements in it.
*chortles*
I thought exactly the same thing.

Worst episode of the show so far. I agree with the pacing, it's becoming a bit too slow in places that isn't needed.
Should've made more of Jamie's rape of his own sister.
No dragons at all for 2nd week make it feel like it's a budget issue.
Still don't care enough about Jon Snow or Bran (maybe just me).
No fucking Stannis again.
