Are you guys really complaining about an article with the title of "Will 'Game of Thrones' Solve The Series' Biggest Mystery in Season Five?" ?!?
Does that title not imply that they will be talking about the series in its entirety? Then there are two separate spoiler warnings before the bombshell? Granted, you probably couldn't read the second spoiler without actually seeing the bombshell.

The cast of Girls will be in the next episode. Synergy!

Great episode. I thought I recognized Mr. Eco from Lost.
Lots of people in big trouble right now. Tyrion, Jamie, Bronn, Sansa, Maergery- they've all got major problems.

Good question.

They don't, but Cersei is using them for her own ends. Not sure she'll be able to control them, though.

i guess this is why Im confused. margeary is the queen. Why doesnt she just say "#### this ####" and have them all executed or shipped out of Kings Landing

Footballguy
She's the queen, but the King is the one who controls the troops. And he's hesitating- he's afraid of bloodshed. And he's heavily influenced by his dearest mother.

I'm even enjoying the Ayra storyline, though I'm very confused about it. Is she learning to be a "faceless girl" or is she learning to be a cast member for Six Feet Under? But I thought it was very interesting when she said she hated the Hound and got whipped for a lie. So I guess that deep down she really didn't hate him after all.

To be a nobody you have to play the role of many.And so to be a nobody, you have to be good at lying?

So, does Sansa hate Littlefinger now or is she going to be more like Reek?
Littlefinger playing Cersei like no other. She is handing him the North with a kings decree. And, he is getting an army with good timing should be able to walk into Wingerfell and clean up any mess from the forthcoming battle. At least that is what Littlefinger is planning on. He can march in there as the leader of the North, take Sansa, take Winterfell and have some power... more than a brothel keeper.
Where is Varys?
I think Arya is realizing that if she moves forward, she will be a nobody. That is not to say she won't kick ### but she is leaving Arya behind. Leaving any Stark resemblance behind. She might see Sansa again but will she be able to reveal herself as Arya?
What is the deal with Eko and his character? Get Tyrion to the dragon girl.

#### Merchant, worst job in Westeros?
Maybe it is just me, but this season seems to be progressing a lot slower than I thought it would. I've enjoyed it, but it just seems stuck in a little mud lately.
Also, those sand snakes are terrible. Maybe because they are actresses, but the fight scene again seemed awful in slow motion. They have easily been the weakest part of this season.

Yep, Sand Snakes still suck.

Yeah, she is guilty of a few sexual perversities of her own. Dont think they will care that she armed them if that knowledge comes out.ETA: quite the look the Queen of Thorns gave her. She knows about hear and Jamie i think. She could be just the gal to bring this up to the High Sparrow.

This season has been my least favorite of them so far... I get that they're putting pieces in motion, but I don't really care about where they're going. Last season moved slowly for a bit, but Tyrion's trial was on the horizon. What am I looking to forward to now? A battle with Stannis vs Roose Bolton? Gimpy Jamie vs the powerfuff girls? More aimless wandering from the show's best character?
I still watch and am drawn to the series, but this season has no momentum at all.

She is one of my favorites and i am interested in where it is going, but yeah, it doesn't make a ton of sense. I assume the tower of heads is what they use to morph into different people? Seems a bit weak that still after not being able to let go of her past to the dude, she is in the club after successfully lying to a little girl.

Why is the squire's testimony about Loras' birthmark a big deal? Doesn't a squire often dress a knight, so wouldn't he have seen the birthmark even if they weren't bow chicka bow wow?
Also I get that Tommen is being a pansy, but why does the queen mother have authority to hire/fire the sparrows but the actual queen doesn't? Am I misremembering and she talked Tommen into hiring them (I don't think so)? Otherwise what actual authority does she have as the king's mommy, especially more than the king's wife?

Was that guy his squire? Even if so, i would guess the average squire doesn't bother to get enough of an eyefull of rooster that they would notice a birthmark.
I think at this point is is more about the desire to do so and the connections she has than Cersei's title. Margerey's play seemed to just be trying to put Tommen up to having Cersei sent back to Casterly Rock. She doesn't have the Kings Landing connections the Lannisters have either. The Queen of Thorns is the brains and power of that family.

Feel like the Sand Snakes should've done a SWOT analysis first.

Reek looks like a ferret who gave up on himself six months ago.
My impression of the guy's last talk with Arya was that she wasn't going to leave her identity behind, but he could still help her in another way.

The Arya story is stupid. I wish she was still roaming Westeros with the Hound.

A girl lies. That would have been a good tile for the episode.

The writers have gone rouge and botched several of the story lines, particularly in the past two weeks. They've got a few weeks left to patch it up and get things moving forward again.
Sabertooth
Footballguy
So Arya left the hound alive out of hope he'd live? Is that right?
Also, I don't see how this ends well for Sansa. Leaving Rickon as the only Stark remaining. And we haven't seen him since Theon overtook Winterfell.

Bran still very much alive. And considering what his powers are, its really not that hard to see a very important end game for his character.

I guess I don't quite get Little Finger's thought process here. If his whole goal is to roll in with the Knights of the Vail and mop up whatever remains after the Bolton-Stannis battle (So that he can be Warden of the North).....why leave Sansa with the Bolton's to get deflowered?
Obviously there really weren't any "safe" places to leave her, but this was obviously as bad as it gets.

Sand snakes suck I agree. Talk about an anti climatic entrance and exit from them. Yeah, like the Sansa, Ramsey Reek storyline. To me Ramsey is one of the most interesting characters on the show. He's the new Joffrey.
