...eek! Pick up the magic knife, Sam! Don't leave it lying there.
Too late, sadly. We'll just have to hope that Sam and Gilly don't run into more baby-eating monsters any time soon, seeing as they now don't have any way to defend themselves.
Sam is so sweet. One of the only genuinely nice people in the whole of Westeros, I think. I hope nothing awful happens to him.
Speaking of awful, I wasn't keen on Melisandre before (religious fanatics are probably my least favourite people ever), but I really, really don't like her now. I suppose it's too much to hope she'll come to a bad end any time soon - like before she kills poor Gendry, who I like much better. What's more, her magic doesn't even work. Stannis throws a leech called Joffrey Baratheon into a fire, but does anything bad happen to the real Joffrey (beyond his scary grandfather giving him a nasty look)? No, it does not. Maybe the Lord of Light doesn't like Melisandre as much as he likes that Thoros bloke?
Can't say I blame him.
The Tyrion/Sansa wedding scene was painful. I felt very sorry for both of them. Clearly,no one cared if Tyrion looked a fool during the wedding ceremony, not even Tywin. The best you can say is that poor Sansa looked beautiful, and hopefully she understands that Tyrion is a kind person and means it when he says he won't hurt her.
The Margaery/Cersei convo was interesting, if only because it showed how much more intelligent that Cersei Margaery is. Unlike Cersei, I'm pretty sure Margaery knows better than to threaten someone who has, or potentially has, influence. I suppose Cersei's still bitter that she can't do a thing with Joffrey any more, but that's her own fault. I don't feel sorry for her at all. Serve her right if, once Margaery's queen, she persuades Joffrey to send his mother off to rule - oh, I dunno, Harrenhal, or another nice place a very long way from Kingslanding.
As for the Dany scenes, while I can't say I mind the other leaders of the Second Sons ending up as severed heads in a bag (they were horrible, especially the one with the scar), but I really, really don't like this bloke Wossisface (I can't of course remember his name), the third leader. For one thing, I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. For another, he looks like an ex-member of Guns'n'Roses. Unfortunately, though, Dany seems to have a Thing for men with long hair, and is obviously smitten.
Jorah is not going to like this one bit (far worse than having to go halves on counselling Dany with Barristan Selmy) and I don't blame him. I suppose it's too much to hope Axl Rose (or whichever member of Guns'n'Roses Wossisface looks most like) isn't going to stick around?
No Jaime and Brienne, no Theon (for which I'm truly thankful). A lot happened in this episode, but parts of it felt kind of like a pause to draw breath before we rush headlong to the end.
Which is not far away, actually. How did that happen? The show only just came back.
Trivial stuff: Gilly's baby is the quietest baby ever in the history of babies, I think. Also, I was so pleased to see Jerome Flynn on the cast list, but he didn't get a single line of dialogue. :(
