White Walkers are not undead.

Melisandre saw the visions. Her mistake was thinking that it was Stannis she saw in the flames. It was most likely Jon Snow.

Since it was so obvious something along this line was going to happen I am grateful they got quickly past it and on to things that have a chance of surprising me.

I agree.

I believe that the Red Priestess' "glamour" trick will reappear have repercussions and will be used again.
Undoubtedly. If it wasn't a set up for a later moment, they wouldn't have bothered putting it into E1 to begin with.

I believe the Iron Island fleet is hugely important.
One very good possibility is that Euron is who ultimately brings Dany and her horde over to Westeros using the fleet.

I'll take a slightly different tack on this. His easy removal of the collars was a bit of a guffaw moment for me. There is no way he would be able to pull out a big iron retaining pin with his hand. The Mountain could not have done that. If they would come out so easily, the dragons wouldn't need to do it, they would have fallen out on their own long ago.

Another illogical issue I has was why the zombie Mountain would kill this one drunk guy who posed no threat to Cersei just for making lewd jokes about her. How did he even find him and know who he was and what he did? Made no sense to me.

Even if Walder Frey cared about Fat Walda, which he probably doesn't, it's doubtful that he would turn against the Bolton's now. They need each other.

One thing Roose kept trying to stress to Ramsey that never really seemed to get through is that they NEEDED Sansa. All of these other Northern houses, both big and small, had husbands, fathers, brothers, and sons betrayed and murdered under a banner of peace by the Boltons and the Freys at the Red Wedding.

It's one thing for them to swallow their pride and unite behind the Boltons if the presumed Stark heir (since most think Bran and Rickon are dead) is with them. It's quite another if she's standing in opposition to them.

Well, Qyburn is the Master of Whisperers and he created Sir Robert Strong. I just figured he heard about it and sent him after the guy.

I'm waiting for a gif of Giant slammed a guy on the wall after he shot arrow at him. For some reason, it got me laughing.

This is the same guy who waved his dong at Cersei last season.

i'm pretty sure it's this guy with the mug here:



i recognize the mug because i thought "cool mug!" when he drank out of it after telling his story.

here's the smash

Spoiler:

While that guy was talking shit, they made a point of showing a waitress kind of glaring, she might told somebody.

No, as pointed out above, he wasn't. Even if he was, how the hell is the Mountain going to know and find him? Google?

Brilliant work.

That guy with the mug during the Walk of Shame looks is the guy that FrankenGregor kills.

Littlefinger said that Cersei has her own spy network in place in King's Landing.

And after all this it turns out Thorne was right. It was a dumb idea to let the wildlings through the wall because they took over Castle Black from the South pretty easily. I know its for storyline purposes but with Snow dead it would've made some sense for them to just massacre everyone if only because of what happened to Mance.

Now the question is will zombie Jon Snow be very different from original Jon Snow, if at all. Maybe he'll finally know something...

The wildings only came back to Castle Black after Thorne and his cronies murdered the guy who saved their asses.

...or maybe it's a Freaky Friday situation, with Ghost in Snow's skin while Jon sets up shop as a direwolf.

I completely understand that, but from the distrustful position of the Knights Watch, they could have come in and overrun them at any time for any reason.

Though Thorne's kind of an idiot anyway. If you're going to do something treasonous, why not do it before letting them through the gate?
