Very interesting, loving the flashbacks, seem to be building up nicely to the big reveal we're expecting. I like Samwell, but is his story going to serve any purpose in the grand scheme of things? And where the blooming heck are the White Walkers, "Winter is (slowly) coming!"

What a dark and grim episode that was! It will take me a while to forget the sight of Olly's face *shudder* Poor Shaggydog I fear for Rickon but I don't think he will be flayed: I think Ramsay will use him as bait to force Jon to attack him. God the Northern stuff has become really interesting this season! I can't wait to see what happens! Sansa and Jon reunion! Battle of the B astards! AAAAAHHHH SO MUCH HYPE I CAN'T EVEN Slightly less interested in the other storylines this week (was anyone else really creeped out by the sight of Qyburn and Varys' little birds?): Kevan's childish stunt with the Small Council was amusing; I'm enjoying the build-up to the showdown with the High Sparrow, too. And Arya isn't blind any more! Finally! Oh and the tower flashback was absolutely amazing. Feel a little cheated that they held off on the 'big reveal' for another week, but I think they did a great job with it. Almost didn't recognise Luke Roberts as Arthur Dayne, which is funny as we've just been watching him in Black Sails! Bring on next week!

I wanted to say how amazing the sword fight scene was, I don't know if it was real or cgi, but it looked awesome to my eyes and very real, and we kind of take things like that for granted, 7 people sword fighting and it looked real, brilliant!

Yep, kudos to the choreographer(??) who put that scene together! It wasn't the most epic battle or fight but easily one of the most impressive the show has done.

Kudos to the actor who can swing two swords and make it look natural!

Wow! Kind of what I expected, but wow! Nice to see them moving the various storylines along at a nice pace.

Much more exciting than the last two episodes! I think they've made it too obvious that Cersei's plan is going to backfire though. One thing Game Of Thrones has managed to do in the past is surprise everyone, but they're just setting this all up to fail too perfectly.

We have seen Dany survive fire before and when she first entered that place with the old women, I saw all the fire things and thought she can burn this down and escape, killing all the knolls was more effective though. And the Vale are finally involved!, but does Baelish really want to help them, he normally has an ulterior motive!

There's still the doubt she even wants it to succeed. Remember, she has never liked the Tyrells, she hates not being thought of as Queen and she could have learned of Olenna's part in Joffrey's death. It'd be oh so awful for Cersei if her plan ended up with both the faith militant and Highgarden's forces being wiped out together!

I'm not only talking about the Tyrell's though, I'm talking about Tommen! In the scene they had together she said herself that the Sparrow would punish him if he ever found out that he'd discussed their conversation with anyone else, and she promised Tommen that he could trust her. In the next scene she's spilling the beans to the small council... I see that blowing up in her face!

The Lannisters need to decide if they're fighting the Sand Snakes or the Sparrows, and stop yakking! No flashbacks, but I expect we'll catch up with that next week

might be the only one but Im very underwhelmed by season 6 so far, the last episode I thought was really boring. yeah great to see khalissi walk through fire ( again ) but it really feels like this episode is just plodding along....hopefully It will get going again next episode

Remember that Cersei also now believes it's only a matter of time until Tommen dies too after Maggy the Frog's predictions have been coming too. As much as she loves him, I think she's slightly resigned to the fact that he will die too, no matter what her course of action is.

I still don't think that would have her put her in harm's way herself, especially not knowing full well what she's doing. I think just like all her schemes, she's not thinking about the repercussions.

The latest episode leaked early and I caved and watched it. All I'll say is everyone is in for a treat! Easily one of the best episodes the show has ever put out!
