Well, based on the story Cersei told Margaery in the last episode, this episode title is foreboding. ---

They wrote a song about Tywin Lannister, and that song is about genocide. ---

Only one more episode after tonight (well, until 2014). The season seems to have flown by like a bullet train. Rumor is that in tonight’s episode they replace Rickon, who’s played by an actor at that “too old to be a cute kid and too young to be a tween idol” stage, with an adorable wildling waif described as “a 21st century Emmanuel Lewis!”, and in a voiceover Tyrion begins telling his future kids a very long story about how he met their mother (“But no, while she was indeed the greatest whore in Queen’s Wharf Heights Annex, she wasn’t your mother!”). ---

If something exciting doesn’t happen tonight, I’m really going to be seing red. ---

I am anxious but sad, this season is over far to quickly and last weeks no episode caused a very small withdrawal symptom the entire wait until next season may weaken me. 😛 On to the episode, last weeks focus on so few lines and the previous week being (for me) a slow episode means the final two are going to be chock full of plot advancement and I cannot wait to find out the situation on the north wall! (my personal favorite part) ---

The CGI is strong in this one. Walder Frey isn’t incestuous with his daughters so far as I know, but he reminds me of a rich and noble version of Craster nonetheless (crude, greedy, absolutely selfish and unloving, graceless, lecherous, etc.). ---
