Something I did not catch last night (but read about it today) - SPOILER ALERT - that the boy who was discovered in the castle at the end of the episode was the same boy who had asked Sansa Stark for more horses and wagons. In the earlier episodes, I don’t think we would have seen someone make the trip from Winterfell to another castle in time to be killed during half an episode.

“I like the show, but last night’s episode was pretty boring.”

Agreed. It does mean that the next five episodes are going to have to be packed solid with action and twists and turns.

"Where is Brienne? Did I miss her somewhere in a crowd scene, or did she somehow miss this happy reunion?"

Not sure how you could have missed her. She was on-screen quite a lot.

It’s not a real time or a real place, so it can’t be historically wrong or right.

Leftist HBO must be very pleased that so many can be fooled by a little (OK, a lot of) blood and titties.

Fooled in what way? It's not a documentary.

“Does anybody get a STD?”

Well, last night one character was getting ready to sleep with 3 prostitutes when the castle’s medieval doctor-type fellow came in with a message for him. As the whores were leaving, the doc says “Pity, one of them will die of the pox within a year.” To which the guy who was going to sleep with them asked “which one, exactly?”

I don’t understand the devotion to this show. Who cares about the political machinations about some made up world? And, oh yeah, let’s throw in fire breathing dragons and lots of gratuitous sex. Yes, the production values are fantastic, but is that enough? And in this mythical world, where is all the plumbing?!

No rape, a little bit of gore, and the only incest was between a guy and his aunt, and they didn’t find out they were related until after it already happened, so it’s a bit of a grey area...

Sure it is. It’s where bad people go instead of Narnia.

Sansa was raped by Ramsay. And lovers Cirsei and Jamie, lovers and parents, are twin siblings.

“I wonder how many will cancel their subscriptions after the last episode of GOT.”

I’ve been seeing people on social sites everywhere saying they are unsubscribing once the season is finished. HBO is going to suffer greatly once GoT is over.

“About 99% of that are people pirating the show.”

Close.

“HBO has 130 million subscribers worldwide as of 2016. The network provides seven 24-hour multiplex channels, including HBO Comedy, HBO Latino, HBO Signature, and HBO Family. It launched the streaming service HBO Now in April 2015 and has over 2 million subscribers in the United States as of February 2017.”

Yes, but none of that happened in this last episode.
