We are the many, you are the few. The High Sparrow went full Honey Badger.
I'm now seeing him eat a cobra--"so nasty!"

My money is on Rickon. Its not enough murder yet for Ramsay.
Dorne-aggedon has darkened your soul.
Isn't Fat Walda Dog Food enough horror for you?

So, the spoilers were completely right again, despite my terrible Spanish.
So, if spoilers come out on episode 3, the internet will freak out.

Okay, Lady Dyanna, your spoilers were 100% true. Not sure I like that they did.
And so the parallel that the showrunners made in Season 5 between Ellaria and Ramsay continues in this episode where we essentially get a bastard wiping out the entire family they're connected with in order to help the family that they're tied with.
Not that I don't believe that Ramsay would kill his father--this was handled and foreshadowed much more believably than Dorne does, but I can't help that the parallels are being forced by the show writers at this point: "SEE HOW WE CAN WRITE WELL" seems to be what they're screaming at us with this parallel connection between Ellaria's takeover and Ramsay's takeover.
I actually felt rather bad for Fat Walda and her son. Sure she was a bit smarmy last season, but quite frankly she didn't deserve that.
I was satisfied with Bran's vision in past Winterfell. We get a quick sense of Lyanna, Benjen, and Ned each--with Ned having a moment I last recall Jon giving to Olly last season (the "keep your shield up or I'll ring your head like a bell" line was stated by Jon and the holding the head affectionately was definitely something both Jon and Ned share. It's interesting that even if the show is going to go R+L=J that they're emphasizing through a small thing like that just how much Ned was a father to Jon Snow--or perhaps they're hinting that Jon is "like his father". Either camp has evidence after this. I kinda missed big brother Brandon, but oh well.
Also, is Lyanna just growing bigger than her brothers (because girls hit puberty before boys do)--or are they trying to hint that she's older than Ned in this story? They could go either way with that IMO. Great to see a young Old Nan who cares about Wyllis Hodor.
Nothing is enough for D&D, I hope for the best and expect the worst.
Yes, they do make the fatalists look rather cheery.

Meera being affected by her brother's death was needed and I'm glad they didn't dwell on it too much as that could have been overblown.
And of course the show goes a bit heavy handed on showing us that Thorne has no intention of keeping to his promises, but at this point I don't care, throw him in a cell and be done with it.
They haven't done much re: Varys' ideas on Targaryens. But if Tyrion actually is one, that could come in handy.

Lady Dyanna Agreed it wasn't that bad, mostly enjoyable even. Must have been the lack of Dorne.
Game of Thrones: Nothing wrong here that can't be fixed with a Dorne-ectomy.
