I haven't read the books so I don't know how it plays out there but I thought they made it very obvious that the poison came from the necklace and that Olenna grabbed the poison. You might not have seen it on the first viewing but if you look back at it, they didn't really try to hide anything. The only thing you didn't know was Littlefinger's involvement, which was revealed in the next episode.

So you guys just now recognized Burn Gorman (the guy from Torchwood) on the show? Did you somehow miss him when he played the same character last season on Game of Thrones?
He's also in The Dark Knight Rises and is currently on AMC's Turn.

I'm saying that if you thought it was overly explained, that it might seem that way because we (as the audience) are privy to what both conspirators admitted.

I think that was more of the origin of the "Whites," the frozen zombie horde, which seem to be controlled by the Whitewalkers.

Given the distance traveled to somewhere in the Land of Always Winter and the "ceremony" involved I imagine this was about the origin of the Others/White Walkers and not wights which are reanimated corpses.

Yeah the baby ended up with those blue eyes. I don't think i saw those eyes on the re-animated corpses.

I just recognized him this time as well. I'd have to go back and watch the episode(s) he was in last season but he certainly didn't leave an impression on me if I didn't recall him being there.

I think that, what I recall from last season, is that there weren't many direct shots of him? Yesterday's episode had him shown prominently in the scenes at Crasters....

I recognized him because I had watched Pacific Rim last week. But it took a minute because there was something different about him in GoT.

He's the guy who called Craster "a bastard. A daughter fucking, wildling bastard." I thought he was pretty memorable for only having one minute of screen time.

I saw it because I read the books and I was looking for it, but none of my friends picked up on it. You have to freeze frame to notice that one of the stones is missing. I don't think many people noticed anything shady with the necklace, I'm very surprised that you picked up on it.

Looks like HBO deleted the part of their episode description where they called out the Night's King at the end.

The spoiler thread has a screenshot from the HBO recap that reveals that the final scene was Book 6 or 7 territory. They are passing GRRM
