What do you think about the selection of Lena Headley as Cersei?
She absolutely killed in the last episode.

We don't agree.I'm shocked.
I don't see how that is possible objectively:
Good
A. Kings Landing scenes were awesome -
B. Aemon scene was fabulous
C. Stannis scene good
D. Excellent move getting Tyrion to Dany - although the fighting scene and much of the interaction with the slavers made no sense -
E. Winterfell - mostly good although the Brienne shot was sort of pointless -
Bad:
A. Dorne scenes - horrible again
B. Jon Snow/Tormund/Aliser - whatever - fine but the whole story does not make much sense.
C. Gilly/Sam/Ghost - why exactly was Ghost there? Not ranging with Jon? Where has Ghost been all season? Oh, more potential rape - fantastic followed by post-attempted rape, consensual sex. Super.
As for the Mereneese problem in the Books - the show has given up any obligation to make any coherent sense regarding distance and the time it takes to travel so simplifying some of the issues is no problem - so Jamie and Bronn can stroll into Water Garden, Jorah and Tyrion can magically get to Mereeen etc.
Still it was a good episode overall but with some major weaknesses. Pretty universal reaction from what I have seen.
Who wrote the script about the Sand Snakes and Bronn??
They should be tossed into the Black Cells...

Nothing wrong with a little diversion and a pair of very beautiful breasts.
Well . . . that was awesome.
Two characters that were quickly becoming rather boring/predictable, Cersei and Daenerys, FINALLY, have had their roles altered by circumstance or interaction with other characters!
The scenes between Daenerys and Tyrion were sensational! Peter Dinklage continues to shine, very brightly, in his role.
I had a strong feeling that, during last night's episode, Theon would tell Sansa that her brothers were alive. I wonder if that will allow for an update on Rickon's whereabouts and a continuation to Bran's storyline (before this season concludes).
The battle at the end of last night's episode was absolutely incredible! It must have nearly exhausted HBO's CGI budget for this season, but it was well worth it. (Yep, Valarian steel counters the White Walkers. Hmmm, I wonder which other characters in the Seven Kingdoms might be carrying such a sword?)
I can't wait for the final two weeks!

Dinklage is my absolute favorite actor in this show. His character alone would keep me coming back.
It feels like this season just started and yet there are only two episodes left.

HBO has said they are not in this season at all.

I suppose that makes sense, as neither of them has appeared yet, why add them to the myriad other storylines that still need progression?
Excellent excellent episode. All story lines worked.
Just watched it. Excellent. It finally brings us back to what matters: the White Walkers are coming (the Others). Everything else is inconsequential.
What a great battle scene.
What a great battle scene.
Just saw the preview for next week. Look slike they are setting up Sir Alliser not letting Jon and the wildlings through the gate or, thats what they want us to think.
Yeah, that's what it looks like. But wouldn't Jon and the wildings be at East Watch (or whatever it is called - the fort at the coast), and not at Castle Black, where Ser Alliser is?
I havent read the books so I really dont enough about the different locations and distances to make an informed comment.
The show has largely given up worrying about distance/time so they will be going to Castle Black
I don't like Stannis very much any more.
Sir Davos is, finally, going to scratch his itch: killing Melisandre.

I could have certainly done without that scene. Disturbing and yes, no longer like Stannis
