Yes, to all of this.

Well, I don't think it's a coincidence that Melisandre just rolled into "town" as Jon died. I may be very wrong, but I'm pretty sure she is going to resurrect him. She thought Stannis was the chosen one, but I think most of us believe it's Jon.

I think some people are looking for an opportunity to tell us how pious they are. And at the risk of being an evil gender stereotyper, I bet there are more than a few gay men who are like "F*ck!!", now that they are legally allowed to get married.

I hope Ramsey carves the cold, dead heart out of Stannis. However, the Lord of Light has power and Stannis did make the sacrifice. I think he might win his battle against the Bolton's at least. I was surprised that Shireen's mother is the one who tried to save her. I think she was basically insane from losing all of those babies (keeping the bodies proves that). She latched on to a cult to give her life meaning, but at least at the end she came to her senses. I wish Shireen had at least seen her mother try to stop it. Dany's scene was good tonight. This show needs more dragons, but I guess the CGI or whatever they are using is expensive. People seem to think she left her crew to fend for themselves, but really, the fight was over. I wonder if Oberyn's mistress is going to kill Jaime. Hey Q, your giant survived!

I'm always amazed that people keep going after losing a child. He's lost two and a spouse. I'd be diving into a bottle faster than Nikki Newman after a fight with Victor.

I wonder if he is going to start a plague or assassinate one of Dany's enemies? I don't know, but they must have something up their sleeves or he would be dead already.

I agree with all of this. I loved Aemon. At least he got to see a world with dragons and where Dany was rising to power on some level. I knew there was a reason this show was trying to make us fall for Shireen. I don't like her chances. The Sandsnakes are a huge fail. They may as well have cut all this Dorne stuff because it's terrible. I hope Dany sees that Tyrion could be useful to her.

I see what you're saying. I guess it depends on how far he takes it. If it was just some rough sex, I sort of feel like that's par for the course. Maybe by the faces Theon was making we were supposed to infer that he was really hurting her. I guess I figured he wasn't because his father wouldn't approve of that.

I think I'm the only person on the planet who agrees with that. She knew she was going to have to have sex with him when she agreed to marry him. Baelish gave her an out, so I'm not sure what made that scene rape in people's minds. However, since it seems to be the universal perception, I'll have to accept that it's there. That fight between Jaime/Bronne and the Sandsnakes was pathetic on every level. Poorly done and even the camera work couldn't save it.

I wonder if that was Drogon that Tyrion saw or are there other dragons out there?

I liked the Stannis/Shireen scene so much, although it made me wonder if the red priestess is either going to sacrifice her or try to.

I'm a lot more concerned about the speeding charge. Going 107 in a 55 mile an hour zone is nuts, but people get away with it all the time.

The clues were flying all over the place in this episode. That discussion between Sansa and Peyter on Lyanna and Raegar pretty much ended all doubt for me, along with the fact that the Red Priestess wants to screw Jon and make shadow babies. She knows he has royal blood. That makes Dany Jon's aunt. I wonder if they will get married in incestuous Targaryen tradition? Doesn't really seem like there is time for that, if the show is ending at season 7.

I'm interested in seeing Theon's reaction to Sansa. Theon kind of seemed less Reek tonight. I also thought it was interesting that the servant lady said " The North remembers" to Sansa. That tells me she has allies among the common people, so maybe that will help her down the line.

Probably, but I still think Carl is right. What an idiot. Isn't this man a doctor? I ask myself how it's possible to make it through medical school and still be so backward? I take comfort in knowing he won't be elected.

This is so gross, but they buried the real issue, which is that poor people are being forced to take their money out on $25 increments and pay a fee each time, after the first. Some of these politicians are just mean spirited, not to mention wasting tax payer resources in an attempt to punish the poor. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/04/kansas-welfare_n_7001116.html?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000592

Half a million dollars was raised for that freaking pizza shop!! WTAF?? Seriously, what is wrong with people? There are people dying of cancer who can't afford treatment and they donate money to this? It's just beyond disgusting.

Exactly, but isn't where all this nonsense eventually leads? What if it offends one religion to serve another? Where does it end? What if some religions are offended by serving women? This way lies madness as far as I can see.

That was almost funny. Who orders pizza for a wedding reception? But really it isn't funny because this kind of law is just creating ugliness and chaos. I'd like to believe that only a few fools care so little about profit that they are going to turn people away, but there are so many idiots out there. Are we headed for a country where people turn away anyone who's lifestyle or religion they disagree with? Are we going to have to call a business up to check if they serve "our kind" (whatever kind that may be) before we go?

I hope these laws backfire.

I agree that's why she kept telling him not to talk when they were making cookies. She tried to be hard with him, but she eventually failed. We saw the way she let him hide behind her last night. Marceline: I don't want to see him get off that easily. He needs to die the kind of gruesome death that poor undeserving Noah suffered. Totally agree with everyone who is thrilled to see Lenny James back. I loved him on Jericho.

I think there are people who really do believe that government should stay out of our personal/social lives, but you can't get elected that way. So you end up with conservatives posing as libertarians.

You mean like 5 episodes in the spring and 5 in the fall or do you mean a spin off like TWD is doing? I'm basically rolling with the punches on all of this. I'm a little sorry that the show will "spoil" the books, but whatever. It doesn't really matter to me at this point. I did think that Martin had a deal with HBO to do his Dunk and Egg novellas as a series (set in the same world), but I don't know if anything came of that.

I think they would do better to do different stories in the same world. Otherwise casting is almost certain to fall apart going forward. It seems like British actors in particular like to try different things.

I don't know. So many people seem to vote their pocketbooks over their social conscience. Gay marriage is one issue, what if they agreed with the Republicans on everything except that one thing? I'm strongly pro choice, but what if your neighbors well and truly believe that an embryo is a baby? Then voting for the Republicans might have to do with that and nothing to do with gay marriage or their empathy for you. I have a friend (really more of a close social acquaintance) who is definitely for gay marriage. He has a gay son. However, he is really never going to vote for a democrat. Not sure I've ever met anyone who more strongly believes that we are all rugged individualists making our way in this world and that taxes are "stealing" from our neighbor to give money to someone else. He's not an idiot either, which is how I normally comfort myself when I have to deal with someone like this.
