No Theon torture 0/10 would not watch again
That wasn't the strongest episode this season but it was still pretty great. Sam is so getting laid :jokey: But I think Paul's right about the pacing, though I think it's more that the episode as a whole had some pacing issues than the Sam part specifically, because aside from the short scene with the Hound and Arya the whole thing just switched between Gendry, Dany, and Tyrion and Sansa's wedding. It was a very narrow focus and I'm not sure in this case it was the best use of the show's time - I could have stood to see Jon and Ygritte, Jaime and Brienne, Robb's group, whatever Baelish is up to currently, Bran's group. I reckon they could have cut out some of the scenes of Cersei being a :bou::bou::bou::bou: and stuff though, and given us some time with other characters, even fairly brief scenes.
