So many great moments in this episode, I don't know where to start. It easily topped every episode this season, if not every episode from the last.
The dornishman's wiiiiiiiiiiiiiife.
That was just poetry.

Was that Sansa who grabbed the corkscrew? Guess who's getting screwed next? buddum tish...
Cannot fucking WAIT to see Dany and Tyrion's interactions.
Also, I think you see Dany nipple for a split second when he crawls on top of her...
Good lord, she was born the same year I could legally buy porn and cigarettes.

She's more likely to use that on Theon than on Ramsay considering how hellbent D&D are on only portraying her as a strong character in front of weaklings.
Did he not imply that he had sent the other guy to inform on Loras at Cersei's request? The episode is a blur at this point. He was talking about Lancel as well for sure either way.

I thought that was a strong episode, random thoughts/notes:
-Jonathan Pryce just locking up that guest actor Emmy nom for this year, fantastic final scene (I thought the Kings Landing scenes were all very good)
-Can't say I'm a fan of the repeat abusive situation for Sansa (with I presume a different outcome)
-The North content is really interesting as even as book readers we don't know the outcome and/or if it will differ from what eventually happens in the book
-Jorah/Tyrion 10/10 buddy team
-Love seeing the weather go to shit
-Where is my episode of Mad Men to watch
Next week looks hype

The Reek thing maakes sense because you can't just go through three seasons of torture and psychological terror and then have it erased because Sansa is in danger and she cried to him a bit. He will need more. (see my reply)
Actually now that I think of it (preview)

I think she was threatening Theon with it next episode.

This kid is gonna stab Jon isn't he?
The way they've been framing him, shooting him etc makes me feel like it.

Bronn poisoning amounting to boobs. Sounds about right.

Meh, didn't like it that much. Margery and Cersei were great though.
No to wait for Cersei's walk of shame.

Doubtless, Tyene saw an opportunity go get Bronn in her debt.

Thought it was a pretty solid episode. Kind of falling flat in a few scenes, but a prelude to some bigger episodes coming up the next few weeks.
Edit: why would she need to get Bronn on her side? As far as she knows he's just some sellsword sent down to the castle to illegally assault their defenses. Even if they let Jaime go, they'd likely just kill Bronn by proxy.

"I am the gift."
It seemed increasingly likely it'd happen this season, but still, my reaction was definitely oh thank fucking god

Yeah. He gets too much screen time to not have a role in something large.

Still holding out hope Theon prays to the heart tree and hears Bran say his name
Them making this happen now makes me pretty sure they never meet in the books.

It seems the like Tyrion/Dany team-up was something that George planned 20+ years ago, but yada yada Meereen knot he hasn't figured it out yet.

Dany's going to come back to Mereen and burn the place to the ground. Tyrion and a few others will join her on the trip to Westeros. Fuck this "detour in Asshai" bullshit that he's been building up forever.

meh, kinda boring when you know the cersei thing is coming. I thought it was kind of a boring ep but I cant really hold that against the show. It did have the first decent fight scene of the season though so that was good.

Yes. Definitely the best of the season so far.
Easily best episode of the season. I was into every scene from what I can remember. Lots of major things happening. I love the fact that I don't know how almost anything will play out. There was a constant sense of dread and tension. Still... Cersei being imprisoned went down better in the books. I was looking for the flat out "No." when she tried to leave.
Sure it was. I'm totally not fed up with that bullshit.

Definitely the best episode of this season. That payoff of Tyrion finally meeting Dany was great. Shame I had to experience it in show form first. And the Cersei imprisonment scene was very well done.
Sand Snakes are still trash and Tyene flashing her mammaries does nothing to change that.

Here's the thing Sansa picked up. Looks like a corkscrew to me.
Man there's no good thread for GoT for me to post in.
I want to discuss with non-cynical people, which it seems like most of the book readers aren't right now, but I spoiled myself on the books via Song of Ice and Fire Wiki so I can't post in the non-spoiler thread (maybe soon since it's catching up quickly)?

I was thinking, that maybe since there is no Arianne in the show, maybe Doran will try to get trystane to marry Daenerys after/if the whole "trying to crown Myrcella" fiasco happens.

With only three episodes left, the remainder of the season should be pretty packed with big moments. Well unless they pull a GRRM and end on a half dozen cliffhangers.
