Speech by Lady Crane as Cersei Lannister in the Mummer's scene of Joffrey's death at the Purple Wedding:
My son. My firstborn son. My child the King. Hush. Listen to the gods, for you they sing. Fight no more, sweet child, your wars are won. The wolves are buried and the false stag done. Shut your blue eyes my love, let the crown fall, the father above beckons you to his hall. In seventh heaven I'll see you once more. But now I seek vengeance on Sansa the whore, and my brother the Imp who killed his own King. Born amongst lions, I'll curse from within. I will slay him, I swear, with noose or with knife though it take me a fortnight, a moon, or my life.

For me personally, the only two redeeming moments in that entire 57 minutes were 1) Gregorenstein squashing that Faith Militant guy, and 2) Arya snuffing the candle with Needle and then politely telling NotJaqen to take a long walk off a short pier. Everything else was just complete garbage! And what the hell have D&D done to Jaime's character? They butchered it two seasons ago, do they really need to add insult to injury by taking a big steaming dump on top of his dead and mutilated plot arc? So frustrating.
They are just flinging noodles at a wall at this point. There is no story anymore. This is what HBO does.

Even half cooked noodles will stick.

Did anyone else expect a waterlogged Uncatzombie to burst out of the river while the Hound was taking a leak?
What was the point of how that shot was framed? No one cares if Sandor pees. No one cares how still the water was. Or should we?

Lady Crane's speech was about vengeance on Sansa snd Tyrion, so maybe no wildfire? Will Littlefinger double-cross Sansa?

The last two weeks were weird and pretty awful, and how long will Hodor have to hold the goddam door?

Will Littlefinger double-cross Sansa? oh my god I don't think I could take it, in all seriousness... Weird that Cersei hasn't talked about the happenings at Winterfell, for all her whining.

Hands down, the shining moment of the entire season so far.

And Dany's "OH HAI GUYZ" dragon dropoff was just Wardrobe might as well have put her in a spandex bodysuit with a cape. "Oh thank goodness it's you, Dragonqueen!!" I do find it intriguing, though, that Varys arrives in Meereen from Westeros like five minutes after she flies away on Drogon, and leaves Meereen for Westeros like five minutes before she flies back in again. Velly velly suspicious.

D&D completely drop it when they need to be original... let's just hope Varys is heading to KL to pay Pycelle a visit, but it didn't sound that way. And yeah, there is no way they could have written in a Dany/Varys conversation. It's sort of like how they turned Melisandre into a mute, she can't even have a brief convo with Sansa.

Velly velly suspicious. Maybe he doesn't want her to see him? As in if she sees him, she might recognise him from her childhood. He is after all partners with Illyrio, so she may recognise him and realise something important about her childhood? /grasping at straws

He clearly finds the pyre where they burned Shireen in the preview, wonder if he'll have words with Melisandre and how she will react. Also did you guys hear Jon in the preview Tell Mel not to bring him back if he should happen to die during SnowBowl?

From the way they are portraying Kevan, being a dick to Cersei since she did her penance, I think they're going to stick to the books on that one. I hope Varys gets his talking little birds, that can be bought off with candy for pity's sake, back and takes Qyburn out in the meantime.
