Can you imagine what their kid would be like?

There's been debate amongst book readers for years about whether or not Dany can be burned, or whether Drogo's funeral pyre was a one-time thing having to do with the confluence of different sorts of magic. I guess we can, uh, put that one to bed.

The promo for next week's episode has me pumped about a number of things:

Spoiler: show

-Bran obviously chills in a vision too long. Some people have theorized that this is gonna be a LOTR-type situation where he gives away the location of the Weirwood tree and then has to flee before the Others get there. We shall see.

-Littlefinger at the Wall is going to be interesting. I know his plan is probably going to be to snag Sansa and bring her back to the Vale, but I wonder if he'll have to agree to help Jon take Winterfell; it'd be interesting to see him not have the upper-hand.

-One of my favorite parts of this week's episode was Tyrion bringing diplomacy to Slaver's Bay for the first time in like forever. I'm excited to see his control overturned or at least shaken by the arrival of that red priestess.

-Kingsmoot! Kingsmoot, kingsmoot, kingsmoot! Kingsmoot kingsmoot kingsmoot kingsmoot; kingsmoot, kingsmoot kingsmoot kingsmoot kingsmoot. Kingsmoot!

how about that opening scene, eh? the starks have been separated so long that it was a legit shocking, 'fuck yeah!' moment when those gates revealed sansa.

Agreed. Very cool moment.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Based on these comments, sounds like someone's about to get raped.

I'm not gonna lie, when Sansa and Jon hugged I let out a big exhale and a bigger smile. A rare bit of satisfaction on this gloomy ass show.

Sansa and Jon reuniting belongs up there with my favorite moments of the entire series. It warmed my heart.

I liked it a lot, but I liked the moment a couple seconds later when Sansa actually smiled and laughed and spoke with authority about Jon forgiving her. That felt like a subtle character shift that will lead to bigger things for her. Which of course means she'll die next week.

I admit, last week's had me feeling like the show was starting to slip into a jumbled mess. But this one got me back & excited to see what happens next again.

Indeed. She has certainly turned a corner.

No!!! If Sansa gets killed, I hope she at least gets to kill Ramsey first. People keep saying / thinking it will be Jon, but I really hope it's Sansa that slits his throat. I hope he gets tortured for a good bit first though. Ramsey keeps mentioning his dogs... I hope that is some sort of foreshadow. Maybe Ghost gets a few good bites, pins him down, and lets Sansa finish the job.

But, yeah, that was a really cool moment in last night's episode.

I was legitimately surprised (and thrilled) at Sansa's arrival/reunion with Jon, and I'm happy to see a shift in her character. Maybe she can kick Jon to change too.

Kings Landing is going to turn into a giant clusterfuck with the Lannisters, Tyrrels, Faith Militant, and the eventual arrival of the Sand Snakes, leaving it vulnerable to a major attack, be it Dany or the White Walkers.

Looking forward to seeing how the Umbers and Karstarks play out.

Sansa's agency is not fleeting. She's changed. But yeah, she'll probably die now.
