Just watched this, and...

Spoilers behind cut.



...I had already been spoilered for who killed Joffrey, but am pleased to say that I had sort of guessed anyway. I'd even applaud her, if it weren't for the fact that she seems happy for Tyrion to take the rap.

Other repercussions of the previous episode - well, there aren't any. Cersei obviously doesn't feel any more pissed off with Jaime than she did before, and Jaime obviously doesn't feel he's done anything extra for Cersei to be pissed off about. I suspected that would be the case when I read the director's view of what happened in that Cersei/Jaime scene from the previous episode.

We're supposed to just forget about it. And I have to admit, I pretty much have. Back to hating Cersei and back to 'shipping Jaime/Brienne (not, I think, that anything will come of that). I'm glad that Brienne took Podric with her, and glad that Bronn has shown some loyalty to Tyrion and not just offered his services to Tywin Lannister for a higher price, or whatever.

Elsewhere, Sansa may be naive but she clearly sees right through Littlefinger (does anyone not?). Littlefinger is really, really creepy. He could hardly keep his hands off her. The Margaery/Tommen scene was also slightly creepy, but needs must, I suppose. Better that Tommen cares for Margaery than just remaining completely under his mother's evil influence.

Other stuff: well, Dany is still freeing the slaves, and proving herself quite terrifying in the process, and Jon and Bran are having a lot of problems with the Night Watch, though Jon is unaware just how bad his troubles are (did Lord Bolton send that henchman of his to kill him? I've forgotten), and I suppose the people causing Bran trouble are only marginally Night Watch anyway.

Finally, it seems the White Walkers don't actually eat babies after all. Not quite sure what they do do to them, but whatever it is, it's weird. If they're turning all the babies into White Walkers (which is what it looked like) then does this mean all the White Walkers are Craster's sons? Surely not.

:Is confused:

Hmm. I don't seem to have a lot to say about this episode. Maybe I'm just tired.
