Another great episode. Lot of revelations, comebacks and set ups. Terribly missed "Jonsa and the crew" though.
For once this season R.I.P. to No one! Welcome back, Mace Tyrell, Edmure Tully, Benjen Stark, Drogon, Needle, and of course, Walder Frey and the Frey Family Band! Alas, despite a shout-out to my husband Bronn

, he’s still recuperating from the Emmy-winning “bad pussy” line off-screen.
• Many cool things in this episode, between Benjen-as-ShowHands and the flashes of the Mad King (holy ****

) Bran is binge-watching the entire backstory of Westeros + the 6 seasons in just a few minutes, lucky bitch.. And yet, the highlight of the episode, to me, was Sam taking Heartsbane. Dude was making me feel some type of way. That was some straight Rick James s**t.
"F*** your sword. Buy another one, you rich mother****er."
Seriously, that took balls of Valyrian steel. I'm sitting comfortably at home, safe behind my computer screen, and I'm still terrified that Randyll Tarly is going to come for me. What an outstanding performance from that actor. Loved the Gilly extreme make-over wildling edition, so cute and her standin up for Sam at the dinner was great too. It was nice to see a new house and area too, bucolic feel.
• Mention of the Brotherhood without Banners doing work. Check.
Bran has visions of Catelyn at the Red Wedding. Check.
Explicit mention of Catelyn's throat cutting from Walder Frey. Check.
Jaime and Brienne in the Riverlands. Check.
"Subtle" reminders to the casual viewers about Catelyn. I know it's not very likely but I'm feeling the LSH hype.
• The High Sparrow's list of 'crimes' Margaery was guilty of never seemed more pathetic than when he was trying to list them off for the crowd.
"She was guilty of lying... and stuff."
• I LOVE Arya, but I'm so uninterested in her fight against Waif. I hope we just open on Waif's dead body and then cut to Arya on a boat. Loved diggin in theater group again though.
• I have to say, I love Jaime for now two times in as many episodes calling out the Faith for not doing the same punishment to him that they've imposed upon women for the same sins. Feminist king.
• Apparently Littlefinger was telling the truth about Riverrun. If I had to guess, I’d say he’s genuinely on Sansa’s side. Which is...disconcerting.
• Benjen: "Been away for a while. How are my brother, nephews, and nieces doing?"
Bran: "Uhh yeah, about that..."
• I've got the feeling it's Margarey, playing her own game. A lot of this season has been about the new guard, taking out the old guard. I don't buy her "conversion" at all.
I thought it was for the sake of whomever might be listening; now, I suspect a deeper con. Nobody yet is in on it except her. Margarey knows her husband isn't someone you tell things too. I mean, she's bedded him, she saw where the strings attach.
• "What's happening?"
"They've beaten us! That's what happening!"
Olenna's "I've had enough of this s***" tone will never get old.
• I love you Dany but I don't wanna hear any more speeches about you taking the Seven Kingdoms until I see you on an f**king actual boat. And it better not be docked bitch.
