It's pretty typical that Canada runs a minute or two ahead. I think we get different HBO promos before the episode. This week didn't start until 2-3 minutes after the hour.
It was a pretty rough episode and they end on down notes often, so I didn't mind the inversion this week.

asos:
honestly have no idea where they'll shove this in.
I guess.
But ASOS:
well I guess I'm not keeping normal viewers in mind since I know how all that is going to end so I'm not buying into the positivity lol.

Oh god I couldn't watch. Shit's painful.
Do you mean the ASOS
battle at Castle Black where Stannis comes in? There is no way they would leave that out of the show given how many story arcs pass through it. I doubt it will be this season either way, though.
That shit was tough to watch. Fuck.
I feel like they needed the Jon/Ygritte scene at the end after all the nasty stuff earlier in the episode.
Book readers who have read up through ADWD,
with regards to Arya's storyline, did we just get spoiled on possible Arya stuff that hasn't been put to paper yet? When Melisandre tells her she will kill a brown, blue and green-eyed person, I don't remember anything like that being said in the books. You could definitely make a case for it being her eventual end point for the series but I don't recall anything so blatant being said.
Also, Cersei has green eyes, The Hound has brown, I believe... Who has blue on her list? Ilyn?

No, he means [ASoS]
the actual battle at Castle Black where Ygritte dies. What you're thinking of is outside the wall.

No, I'm talking the small fight with Castle Black and the raiders Jon was with then they crossed the wall. He escapes at Queenscrown, gets to Castle Black in time to warn them of the attack and they fend it off. The big battle at the wall, where Stannis arrives at the end, is shortly after that.
I'm thinking that first small battle will just be skipped entirely, and Jon and Summer will just kill everyone at Queenscrown, and that Jon rides to the Wall in time to warn everyone of Mance's attack

ADWD
Well I think she's going to kill lots of folks...don't know that it referred to anyone specific. In the books she's already killed 4 or 5 people. What was more interesting to me was the "we will meet again." Arya and Melisandre are a LONG ways away in ADWD.
That's true. I don't think we need a "fuck you, viewers" moment at the end of every episode. I didn't mind it for a change.
I don't know how you got that ADWD
that Arya will kill people frmo what Melisandre said. I though it might refer to her shapeshifting shenanigans.
Right right, got ya.
Tough ASOS
I doubt Jon is killing Tormud and Ygritte. Orell, probably.

Entire Series SPOILERS
That's what I thought she said too. Could have been mistaken but I thought she was talking about Arya becoming a Faceless Man.
No, that was Ros the whore. Wonder how Littlefinger found out, or did I miss something.

That was the made up prostitute that fucked Tyrion in one of the first episodes of season 1. Then she showed a shrewd mind so she was brought into Littlefinger's harem. And she was informing on him for Varys. Hence she died.
She got outmaneuvered by Tywin.

I'm so happy she's getting more time in the show than she did in the books. She really deserves a lot of screen time.
I love how non book readers seem to be like "... who was that at the end?" but book readers are all "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS FINAAAAAALLLLY!"

Wow was that a lot to take in. This seems like the episode where they just said fuck it and started to deviate from the books; Most notably (that I can remember) is (all series)
I liked Gendry's "You'd be m'lady" exit better than the one in this episode. Other than that and the hamfisted interaction between Sam and Gilly at the beginning of the episode, I really enjoyed it. I knew they had to deviate sooner or later, and it might as well have been sooner.
I was expecting a bra, like an idiot.
Mel meeting Thoros/Beric. I'm not sure where they're going with that. I guess we can also assume that Gendry is taking the place of Edric, though I'm not sure what the point of him being captured right now is. I guess Littlefinger is going to take Sansa to the boat himself now since there's no one left to play Littlefinger's patsy; I thought that was the whole point of Ros, but maybe they heard the outcries for Ros to get taken off the show and changed their minds. Who knows. What I assume was Winterfell being viewable from the wall is going to make explaining the gift very difficult later.

SOS
I hope not because that was one of the highpoints of a storm of swords for me. So much crazy shit happens in SOS before that battle and I wasn't sure of whether or not Jon Snow would even make it out alive. Hopefully, they put a lot of budget towards that battle and skimp out on stannis saving the day because that doesn't need to be a long epic battle.
Episode 7 promo for those who didn't catch it.

Remember to spoiler tag anything from it.
Nice shot of [ASoS]

Er, is saying what Valar Dohaeris means a spoiler? I'll delete it from the other thread if that's the case.
On that point...Actual TV show spoilers for later episodes! And also sorta book (ASOS)
I think I read somewhere they are actually bringing back Sir Dontos to play the role he had in the book
ADWD
That's where I thought she was going at first but then she said something that made me change my mind. I'll have to go through it in the rewatch to see.
Yep, this is exactly why I was like "wait, wait, now..."

lol what a bunch of wankers. If they think that 3 second camera pan was "gruesome, graphic, and sexual" then I wonder what they think of the Theon stuff..
blainethemono

I don't think they've ever explicitly said what it means. Valar Morghulis was explained, and someone (either Mel or Thoros) said "All Men Must Serve" this episode, but you kind of have to make the connection yourself
Also the thing about "Boy" blowing the horn is doubly awesome because of Theon and the hornblower in season 2
