Since I'm writing, I'll add that there are moral issues with taking over someone's mind and forcing them to do something they wouldn't or couldn't otherwise do. I realize Bran had no other way out and there are clear justifications, but seems like there should be some discussion, or an apology to Hodor, or at least recognition or something.Steve S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-27006951961712107962014-05-05T22:04:14.892-04:002014-05-05T22:04:14.892-04:00Satisfying episode.

Hodor got his moment to shine, though I suppose it was very much against his will. It was also nice to see Sansa not have to suffer for at least two minutes. Obviously that wasn't to last, as she had to learn her aunt was bonkers somehow. <br /><br />Funny thing, when they first showed Robyn in the episode, the shadows on his face made it look like he was starting to get a shade of facial hair. Which, if he had would've made his dynamic with his mother even more hilariously inappropriate.<br /><br />Maybe things are finally not going to be as squeaky clean for Dany anymore. Unless she wipes out every last vile person in the vicinity, she's going to need to find some trustworthy people to watch over these places she's liberated before she can cross over to Westeros, or else everything she's doing will have been rather pointless.Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11265555641080269765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-35340827642932876032014-05-05T18:42:18.595-04:002014-05-05T18:42:18.595-04:00The Brienne and Pod pairing is indeed paying divid...The Brienne and Pod pairing is indeed paying dividends, and I am happy. Even though the deviations North of the Wall amounted to little more than filler, I am still happy because Pod is a terrible rider and neglected to skin the rabbit before attempting to cook it, but Brienne still managed to recognized his value.

I promise I'll stop complaining about that soon). I can see what you mean, though - it doesn't make much difference anywhere else at this point, as Ned and Catelyn are both dead.<br /><br />I was really hoping Locke was gonna chop someone's hand off before he got killed ;)<br /><br />I was also really hoping for a brief Stark reunion :( I'm sure Jon wouldn't have stopped Bran from going north and it would have been so satisfying. They dangled it in front of us, then they took it away. Humpf.<br /><br />I love that Cersei has got her wish at last - Tywin's so pissed off at both her brothers, she's his confidante now. Lena Headey is killing it this season (though she does that every season).<br /><br />That tiny little micro-plot about Brienne relenting and letting Pod help her with her armour comes straight out of one of Matthew's early plots with his valet in Downton Abbey (probably not deliberately, but it's very similar). That made me smile.Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-20766475973734769192014-05-05T14:07:37.077-04:002014-05-05T14:07:37.077-04:00Anonymous, it is irrelevant in the world of Wester...Anonymous, it is irrelevant in the world of Westeros. No one is asking who killed Jon Arryn anymore. And Lysa only revealed that information to Littlefinger, who already knew, so it seems that no one will know.<br /><br />Jon Arryn being murdered is not irrelevant. Littlefinger having murdered him changes nothing but, as I said, our opinion of Littlefinger's craftiness.Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-38202049748555179222014-05-05T07:28:50.993-04:002014-05-05T07:28:50.993-04:00Josie, love your writing.

Had he not been killed, the Seven Kingdomes would stand as a (semi-)united front against the threats from the North (White Walkers) and the South (Dany).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-73245785303687044432014-05-05T02:44:54.643-04:002014-05-05T02:44:54.643-04:00Sansa got lemon cakes.
