Even with the scratchy audio, that was a great version of Civil War. Love how the guitars and drums come in before the first "my hands are tied" part of the song. Sweet fucking punch.

Gary really never had a chance, but he did a great job. No fault of his, it was just the climate of the time + the usual VH dysfunction I'm sure.

16 votes may be some kind of record! Awesome!

I haven't read the books, and for that I'm glad. I may read them someday, but after that last episode I don't want to know a single fucking thing before it unfolds on screen. Fantastic episode, fantastic season!

The acting is so great - of course I'm terrible with/lazy about looking up actor's names, but... King Frey is such an awesome evil king. The wedding scene was enormously unexpected, yet at the same time every scene leading up to it was full of tension and threat of violence breaking out.

Still loving every story line. Love fat guy, the baby, and the White Walkers is entertaining. Watching Jora(?) get smashed by the friend-zone wall after sacking the city with the new hunk cracked me up. I think the big lug with the burnt face is gonna end up redeeming his character, either beginning in the next (and last) episode, or over the course of next season.
