I love Grey Worm. He getting good character development.

I think Dany's role is to sacrifice her dragons and army to end the threat of the White Walkers, afterwhich she will be properly put to death by the Lannisters. That way, all of her story will have amounted to something. She'll have had a lasting impact on Westeros.

You mean the 50 year old and the 15ish year old? lol
Yup! In a world full of rape and murder, it's nice to see something a little more hopeful
I don't think the world of the Wire is particularly more just (if anything, less so) but it's more realistic, so you can accept it more easily, i think.

Also wanted to point out that Oberyn wasn't even the first born of his family, so they may have another badass coming from Dorne, for all we know.
If you think that then the show probably isn't for you. The entire episode was all plot movement really, except maybe for Tyrion's talk with Jaime.
The wildlings are at the gates of castle black.
Roose bolton controls the whole north and ramsey is now his heir.
Sansa is starting to play the game.
Jorah was kicked to the curb. Jorah and dany were inseparable for 4 seasons. Now, dany is without her best advisor.
Oberyn vs. the mountain
Nothing happened.
Hey man, 4 of those 5 things you can't tweet about or post reaction vids of.
Ergo: Booooooring.

I was really expecting that 10min conversation to mean something but then at the end the story didnt even finish..I was like.....
"WHY DID HE KILL THE BEATLES!"
That's what everyone said about the red wedding.

When Barristan confronts Jorah, i was concerned that Jorah might try to kill him before he reaches Deny.

Just before this ep aired, I was thinking to myself when the hell Selmy was going to finally do something. I can't imagine how bored some of these actors must be with how little they get to do for an entire season.
His older brother has gout, as they mentioned in a previous episode.

The mountain probably doesnt sit on set for 6 months when he is 1 scene..

Honestly, I don't care for what is not happening in Westeros or beyond the wall.
As for Oberyn, that sucks. It was great hearing him speak.

I don't think we have even seen Gendry or the Brotherhood.

I read the first 4 books. I think I stopped reading Dany's arc in the 3rd. I'd just skip it and get the summary from my wife (who is farther ahead in the season). It's just a lot of boring shit that isn't connected to any of the other interesting characters in the series.
For a while I'd also skip Bran's sections.... until it got interesting again.
God damn that was brutal. I yelled "FUCK" at the screen way too loud when his head exploded. Solid episode though. Every scene I thought was solid except for the Grey Worm romance stuff. Not sure about that yet.
Anyway some predictions:
1. I don't THINK Tyrion is gonna die. Don't ask me how. I don't think he'll get help from anyone obvious like Jamie or Varys.
2. The wall gets attacked bad stuff is gonna happen, maybe Stannis shows up.
3. A bad guy will die. I can't say I truly understand GRRM's thought process, but the storyteller in me makes me feel there has to be a balance after all this shit.

Judging from previews next episode is gonna be this as Blackwater 2.0.

GRRM's thought process is "EVIL WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL!"

Jesus christ, that ending. I definitely was not expecting the "good guy" to win (lol), but I thought Oberyn had it until he started dancing around at the end, which was a dead giveaway. Having Oberyn win would've been a breath of fresh air on this show, actually.
Really enjoyed the Jaime/Tyrion scene, as usual. Those two have had a great rapport this season, definitely hoping for some more before the season is out.
I loved seeing Theon and Ramsay ride together when Ramsay says "I'm going to need a bath" at the end of their scene. Here's two guys that were in (somewhat) similar positions a couple of seasons ago - sons of powerful men who are desperate to prove themselves to their fathers, who think very little of them. Now here we are, after both have done terrible, terrible things in aid of their quest for paternal approval, and one has gotten the approval and acknowledgement that he sought after for so long, along with a significant promotion, while the other is a enuch who has been relentlessly totured, betrayed his house, and has had his mind cracked like a walnut.

About that scene, was that Winterfell they were approaching? It looked like it.
Not a massive fan of that particular thread either, personally. In terms of Daenerys.. there is just something irritating about her, and the more I see, the less I like her. Also that whole plot there is the least interesting to me.
I liked her to start with.. not sure what happened. :/
Easy with the book talk..
Don't say the truth to me. It just hurts :'(
Cersei will get her face melted by a dragon.
LOLS kidding, Danny is too busy breaking Jorah Fedora's heart to remember she was on her way to Westies.

"Winter is STILL coming"

Ah, could've been I guess. Roose did say they were in the North, and Ramsay mentioned something about returning to their "new home".

I went to bed right after watching it last night and was so shaken I couldn't fall asleep. I know its fake but it was quite graphic

Ok, now that I've got that "fuck this show" post out of my system, gotta say that this episode was really nice. I'm just not sure about that Jaime-Tyrion talk, but maybe it could mean something after we see what's coming next.
Also, thanks GRRM for killing my new favourite character, but, even though I was pissed, I have to admit that GoT doesn't shock me that much anymore with all its bombastic stuff and killing characters. At least not after Red Wedding. And, by the way, that scene with Arya and the Hound at the Bloody Gates (or however those are called), was great. First I started laughing when they showed Hound's face after hearing about Lysa's death, and then Arya started laughing. Oh, and Sansa looks badass, and Littlefinger looks plain evil.
P.S. Fuck this show for killing Oberyn

Gilly is tied into Sam's arc, which is tied into Jon's arc, which is tied into the Night's Watch arc, which is tied into the Wildling arc, which is tied into the White Walker arc.
Dany, no matter how hard they try, is disconnected from everyone else. Her arc has been boring ever since 3.04 when she Dracarys'd Kraznys. That was the peak of her story and it's been downhill ever since.
They should send his twin brother oboryn who wears a cowboy hat.

How much time have we spent in total on Gilly since she left the watch..?
When you consider how much development (or lack thereof) she has had since, a fair bit. I just don't know where they're going with it, or the Sam arc in general.
I'm with ya, J. Similar reaction.
His one job was to torture a confession out of Clegane, helping Tyrion was just a means to an end. He got what he came for.
He has to keep him alive. The boy has command of the Eyries army. LF will use the kid as a puppet.
