I'm not trying to be a white knight here, but that last scene was in really bad taste, to be honest, for Sansa as a character we've watched go through so much smurfed up trout only to get literally smurfed, now.
I read what actually happens in the book after the episode and it just could have been more creatively done by the writers given all the resources they have.
I'm so glad they didn't actually show it. That was tough.
I'm upset. that was so messed up.
Also wtf cersei. Wtf high sparrow. You can't put Margery in jail!
My main thought about tonight's episode is that Alfie Allen deserves an Emmy for the final scene of tonight's episode alone. His acting, all without uttering a word, made that scene much more potent.
Good episode.
The stuff at the beginning with Arya was a tear jerker.
Man, you don't ever threaten a man's personal belongings. Imp or no.
Myrcella had lines! OMG! She got hot.
The Queen of Thorns and Bronn continue to have the best lines.
Oh no! Margery!
Why do the King and Queen not wear crowns anymore? This have been bugging me all season. #firstworldsproblems
Littlefinger! What you up to now?
That ending was FUBAR.
Bloody hell, trout went down. Dorne, Braavos, Jorah and Tyrion, King's Landing and... Winterfell. What a horrible and uncomfortable scene. Bravo to all three actors in that. I read interviews with them all saying there was a horrible scene and it was difficult for them to do, and fair play they knocked it out of the park. Dude
The actress was 15 when they filmed those scenes. You be careful, the Faith of the Seven and the High Sparrow will put you on trial!
(on topic: powerful episode. Wtf, Cersei and King's Landing)
I just have to say, Alfie Allen is probably one of the best actors on the show. He was an okay theon but he's great at reek. He doesn't say much so most of his acting is all facial expressions and body language and he nails it. I mean he really looks like an empty husk of a human. He deserves an emmy.
ow gosh, that final scene was very uncomfortable indeed.
those sand snakes never convinced me as real warriors.. imo it all looks a bit silly.
and for all women fighters: dont make those girly fighting noises as if you are a damsel in distress it takes away all the warrior'ish!!
ffs Tommen dont let them take away your beautifull wife <3 D:
edit: jaj for the return of Olenna Tyrell!

I knew the face room was coming so I thought I wouldnt be creeped out by it but I still was. I think it's the holes in the wall more than the faces though.
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
Two other details I'd like to mention that nobody else has.
First, Jerome Flynn actually has a pretty good singing voice.
Second, I find it odd that none of you talked much about the funniest scene in the episode. Namely, this dialogue, which you would never expect to hear anywhere except on this show:
"He has to know it came from a dwarf, and how will he know unless he sees the dwarf?"
"It will be a dwarf-sized cock."
"Guess again!"
". . . The dwarf lives until we find a cock merchant."
I wasn't surprised - he had three number one hit singles back in the 90's. Robson and Jerome were quite big back in the day. To be honest with you, I was more surprised at the guy from Robson and Jerome being Bronn than Bronn singing well!
