I think Brienne was otherwise occupied with another suit of armour.

This season was... fine.  Loved the last three episodes as well.

I wish we had seen more of the Sand Snakes, but I think they're in season 6.  I definitely need more of the Most Beautiful Woman In The World, cause... dang.  The whole time, though, I kept noticing Keisha Castle Hughes in the background, the first scene of them all I could hear her saying "I won on Oscar so I'm gonna make a speech!"  Then she's just hanging out for the rest of the season.  At least she's in that Cameron Crowe show.  And dude, Dr Bashir as their father/king?  I love that dude.  Sid never gets enough work, in my book.

Oh man, that bit where they burn the kid at the stake?  That was horrific.  Amazing stuff.  And that worked as well as could be expected.

BTW, the bit where Dany and the Dragon, at the end?  I honestly expected her to be in, like, America or something.  I mean, not AMERICA America (I thought those Dothraki were Indians for a minute or two), but like the Game Of Thrones version of the Old West or something.  That would be real interesting.

I wonder if we'll see more of Samwell, now that he and Gilly are off.  I'm pretty sure we're going to see more of Bran and Hodor this new season, I guess we'll see.  And I only now realized with Arya blind, temporary or permanently, makes her Zatoichi!  That's dope!

BTW, Iwan Reohn... Simon from Misfits, the crazy sadist kid running Winterfell who made Reek Reek, that dude got cast as Hitler in a new TV series.  Someone on Reddit wonderfully said "this is the first actor who has to lighten up to play Hitler."  Brilliant.


As for the walk of shame, because you mentioned it... I don't know what to think about it.  i get the reasoning on both side, I know it looked hokey, but I also thought it went on too long (though it's like Irreversible, it has to be long so it becomes as unsexy as possible), so it's a complicated issue.

BTW, the knight at the end of the walk, the giant one... there's something going on there, I forget what I was thinking but like zombie or something, I dunno.  Not human.  Like 80% sure he ain't human and no one knows it.
