Previously: We are still too distraught to talk about what happened.

Blood of my Blood
Catherine: Previouslies: we’re reminded that Dany walked through fire to impress the Dothraki, Sam and Gilly are on their way to Hornhill and we’re also shown a shot of Rob and Cat standing together. In case you have any feels left after last week that still needed destroying. Lastly we’re shown Hodor sacrificing himself. Again. THANKS SHOW.
Credits take us through Kings landing, Winterfaux, The Wall, Braavos, Vaes Dothrak and Meereen. So basically everywhere ever.
The episode begins north of the wall where Meera is, for the love of god, still dragging Bran on his little sled through the snow. She is literally so much better than me as a person. I would’ve abandoned his coma ass looooong before.
Democracy Diva: I’d have been killed off about six seconds into the series.
Marines: If I’d by some miracle made it to this moment of hauling sled and coma-boy in the snow, I would’ve sat down and wished I’d been killed off about six seconds into the series.
Catherine: Bran is, by the way, still in his Raven coma. Only now he’s having a bunch of scattered visions and flashbacks to episodes past. Namely, a shot of himself falling from the tower when he was crippled, a shot of Cat being killed, a shot of the White Walkers stealing that baby that time, a shot of Ned being killed, and some Wildfire being created and an old guy on the Iron Throne yelling ‘BURN THEM ALL!’. Then Jaime comes up and kills the old guy. So this is the Mad King, yes? He looks like that Army of the Dead king from Lord of the Rings.
Catherine: Back in the real world, Meera is struggling and finally falls on the ground and starts crying. I feel you, girl. She tries to wake up Bran again and then he finally does wake up and say in a very bored tone that ‘they’ve found us.’
Who? Oh, right, the White Walkers. Who are still chasing them. So Hodor’s sacrifice was apparently just to slow them down a bit? (M: Well, thanks for putting it so depressingly.) (C: I’m keeping it real! Real depressing…) Meera starts crying and hugs Bran, telling him that she is sorry. But just when all hope is lost Aragorn shows up! (M: A+. Aragorn is bae.)
Or… uh, some other guy on a black horse. He fights off the White Walkers with a swinging ball/chain mace thing made of fire. It sort of looks like those things Catholic priests hold. Made of fire. Its pretty cool.
On the road to Hornhill, Gilly is freaking out about seeing a season other than endless winter for the first time. Sam mentions that Summer is over and the autumn will be here soon. Hmm….
Diva: NOPE. Shut up, show. Even if we’re not following the books’ timelines exactly (winter officially begins at the end of the last released book), we are WELL into autumn.
Mari: Have to be or clearly everyone would’ve been saying, “autumn is coming.” Duh.
Catherine: Uh-oh, the writers are going even more rogue than we thought.
Gilly points out that Sam is babbling nervously, and he says that he’s understandably freaked out about seeing his family again. Since the last time he saw his father the dude was making him give up his title, inheritance and threatening to kill him and everything. They agree to tell Sam’s family that Little Sam is his baby so that they’ll agree to take Gilly in. Also to not tell them that Gilly is a wildling because Sam’s dad hates Wildlings.
They get to the house and it’s HUGE. Like, bigger than the Red Keep, even? Sam’s family is, it turns out, stupidly rich.
Diva: I’ll shut up with comments like this eventually (that’s a lie), but nobody in Westeros but the Lannisters and the Tyrells are supposed to be this rich, right? The Tarlys weren’t royal, have bigger houses that they answer to (the Tyrells), and aren’t known for their wealth like the Lannisters. How is it possible that this is what a well-to-do-but-not-insanely-wealthy family’s castle looks like?
Catherine: I’m wondering the same thing. This place looks new and massive. But no one knows who the Tarly’s are? Sam’s mom and little sister are really nice, though. They’re all happy to see him and meet the baby. Sam’s mother even says that Gilly is lovely even though she’s still wearing her super gross rag dress. Sam’s mom holds Little Sam and the baby is so cute, you guys. (M: I’m so glad he finally got to age a little.)
Sam’s little sister pulls Gilly along and says she can borrow one of her dresses for dinner. Then she asks what her color is and Gilly’s like, “Uh? Wtf?”
Red Keep. The High Sparrow guy is talking to Tommen again. Tommen is trying to talk him out of making Margarey’s atonement walk. High Sparrow brushes away his fears and acts like Margarey’s going for a stroll on the fucking boardwalk or something. Tommen goes along with it like the off-brand Lannister he is. High Sparrow asks if he’d like to see Margarey.
Apparently she’s not in her grungy jail cell anymore and is now reading in a well-lit room. The same room where Tommen visited the High Sparrow a few weeks ago. Margarey and Tommen hug and he tells her that he’s missed her. Margarey puts on like she has realized what a sinner she was and how she was only helping the poor to be seen doing it. How she was just pretending to be good for her image. And now she has Jesus or whatever. It’s literally so so fake I can’t believe everyone isn’t seeing through this.
Diva: Can’t pretend I know what game she’s playing, but I like it.
Mari: This girl has been performing ever since she got to jail. Clap it up for that resilience.
Catherine: Margarey’s schemin’, guys.
Hornhill. Gilly comes out for dinner in a clean, fitted dress. Sam tells her she looks slammin. She sort of looks like Belle from Beauty and the Beast but in an 1800’s play of it or something. Idk. Sam is still inexplicably wearing his Night’s Watch quilt outfit.
Diva: Or he taught them all to be super-smart sneaks with some sort of grand scheme to unite the North against Ramsay and that the whole Rickon thing is just a misdirect? Please? Maybe? Anyone?
Mari: They are also taking real good care of Shaggydog who is definitely, 100% not dead. Thank you, Umber Daughters. WE ARE COUNTING ON YOU.
Catherine: If that’s true they win. They win the damn game of thrones. I’ll give it to them.
Sam’s sister thinks it’s awesome that Gilly’s father taught her to hunt and she says that her father could learn a lot from Gilly’s. Things go back to awkies pretty quickly after that. (M: Way to read the room, girl.)
Then Sam’s mean dad body shames him and laments that the Night’s Watch has failed to make a man of him. He basically rails on Sam while no one at the table does fucking anything about it except Gilly who points out that Sam can fight and he killed a White Walker. Dickon laughs and says there’s no such thing as White Walkers. Cute.
Unfortunately, while Gilly is defending Sam she accidentally lets it slip that she’s a Wildling. Sam visibly cringes. Their plan to keep the secret lasted about 3 seconds, guys. After Sam’s dad finds out that Gilly’s a Wildling he gets super offensive. He points out a sword hanging on the wall and tells her that it’s called Heartsbane and it’s made of Valyrian steel and it’s been in their dumb family for 500 years. Then he calls Gilly a Wildling whore and her son a halfbreed bastard.
Diva: I bet that Valyrian steel sword that is displayed prominently above their table isn’t important, guys. This definitely won’t come up again.
Catherine: Sam’s mom finally stands up and says she’s lost her appetite and takes Gilly and her daughter out of the room. Sam’s dad tells him that his mother’s a fine woman and to please her he’ll take Gilly in and let her work in the kitchens while they raise her son. Gee, thanks. But Sam isn’t allowed to stay.
Over in Gilly’s room, Sam apologizes for letting his dad rail on her and says that he was afraid that if he spoke up his dad would get angry and turn them all away. Gilly says that she’s only angry that horrible people can treat good people that way and get away with it. Welcome to the south, Gilly.
Diva: And the north. And basically everywhere. Sorry, Gilly.
Mari: You should’ve known since you were born into an incest barn.
Catherine: Sam tells her that he has to leave in the morning and they kiss. Gilly gives him a speech about him being a good dude and then he leaves…
…Only to come back into the room 10 seconds later and tell her they’re leaving.
Just when it seemed final that Gilly would stay at Hornhill he decides that he can’t leave and they belong together. They sneak out of the house in the middle of the night. Gilly feels bad that she’s stealing his sister’s dress. Sam takes it one farther and decides to take the sword, Heartsbane, too. Fuck it.
Diva: OH MY GOD THE SWORD! I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THE SWORD!
Catherine: Back in Bravvos, Arya is watching the previously on play again. It reaches Jofferey’s wedding and the part where he get’s poisoned and dies horribly. They make it out like Tyrion who did it, which I sort of forgot everyone still believed. It’s played fairly straight, so everyone in the audience is sad. Except Arya, who lols.
Diva: You know, as an audience member, I was READY for the show to kill off Joffrey. I was more excited than I should have been. And when he started to choke at his wedding, I was positively gleeful. Until I watched him dying in his mother’s arms, and her face, and her rage, and her grief. I went from laughing to stone-faced in a heartbeat. And watching that same story in this play, Arya had the exact same reaction. It was all fun and games, until she realized that this was a person – a terrible person, but a child, with a mother who loved him. Watching Arya have the same reaction I did to watching this play out – I can’t even tell you what a #feelsfest it was for me, even with Richard E. Grant fart-dying all over the place.
Mari: The reason Arya has found herself here of all places is because she’s lost someone–she’s lost a lot of someones– and it really was something to see her confronted with the idea that her enemies have lost their share of folk too.
Catherine: Very true and it was done subtly too. Points to the show.
Backstage, Arya poisons the wine that Lady Crane drinks from and almost makes it back out before she gets spotted by the Lady herself. Lady Crane asks her what shes doing and realizes that she’s seen her before. Luckily she just thinks Arya is a fangirl who wants to be an actress herself. She remembers when she used to sneak into plays as a girl, too. Arya tells her that she’s a very good actress. She complains that her last speech sucks because the writing is terrible. Arya tells her to change it and Lady Crane asks how she would change it.
Arya get’s surprisingly heartfelt as she says that the queen, (Cersei) loves her son more than anything else and she didn’t get to say goodbye. So she she would be angry, she wouldn’t just cry. She would want revenge. We begin to realize that Arya is, in fact, talking about herself seeking revenge for her family.
Lady Crane asks Arya her name and Arya tells her it is Mercy. Lady Crane tells Mercy that she has expressive eyes and that her eyebrows are on fleek. She asks her if she likes pretending to be other people and Arya, as if in answer, says that she has to go because her father is waiting for her.
Diva: Does anyone else very badly need this troupe to perform a Pippin number for Arya right this second? They’ve got magic to do just for you, Arya!!! #joinus
Mari: Other recaps: When Arya says her father is waiting for her, she could possibly be foreshadowing her soon demise or else be alluding to the fact that her father is waiting for her to avenge him.
Our recaps: Arya, forsake revenge! Join musical theater!
Catherine: We’re just trying to keep it light for you guys! Don’t murder, dance instead!
Lady Crane rejoins the rest of her troupe and Fake!Sansa lives up to her name and ass kisses her, even though she clearly ordered the hit. Richard E. Grant complains that there was no laugh for Ned’s death this time and that all of the people in the audience were animals. But they all loved Lady Crane.
And then OTHER famous British actor Kevin Eldon shows up and he’s also in this? Does this comedy troupe know the fucking acting royalty it’s employing or…?
Richard E. Grant gets all snippy about how he’s been doing this longer than anyone and that Lady Crane has no right to any opinion about the show. She just kinda sighs and goes to drink her rum but Arya shows up and slaps it out of her hand. Everyone stares at Arya, which is the exact opposite of how an assassin is supposed to work, baby girl. She points at Fake!Sansa and announces that she wants Lady Crane dead and then mic drops and walks out.
OF COURSE we see that the Waif was following her but her face is goddamned forgettable that Arya never noticed her.
Arya goes back to the shore and pulls Needle out from underneath the rocks where she hid it last season. Yay!
Back in the House of Black and White. Which sounds more like a fashion designer’s studio and less like a serial killer’s trophy room, Jaqen is carving the face off a dead body. Because I guess they are actually, genuinely wearing faces? And then sticking them on with magic or something? Did I zone out when this was explained?
Diva: I don’t know if the show ever adequately explained it, but yes faces and yes magic.
Mari: Reminds me that we just finished recapping this episode of Doctor Who:
Catherine: Oh great. So the answer is disgusting.
The Waif arrives and tells him that Arya punked out. Then she gets all excited because Jaqen promised her that she’d get to kill Arya if she feel through. Jaqen tells her not to let Arya suffer. I’m thinking that sadistic ass bitch selectively decided not to hear that.
King’s Landing. Jaime meets with Mace Tyrell and a bunch of soldiers to go and stop Margarey’s walk of atonement. Mace feels that he has to do a big ass speech before they march on the Sept and Jaime practically rolls his eyes.
Outside the Sept, the High Sparrow is doing his speech about how everyone has to atone and today is a special day ’cause ya’ll are about to get to see some titties. Margarey stands behind him. For some reason, as was pointed out by Diva during the livetweeting, the Faith Militant don’t appear to have shaved Margarey’s hair like they did Cersei. But it’s never mentioned why. (M: That probably should’ve been our first clue about what’s about to not happen…) (C: Oh right. We’re bad at being detectives.)
Jaime, Mace and the army march in. Olenna also shows up at the same moment in a gilded carriage. She timed this shit, you know she did. Margarey looks relieved. Jaime tells the Sparrow that they are there for Margarey and Loras and they’ll leave with no bloodshed if he hands them over. The High Sparrow tells them that he doesn’t have the authority to do that. Everyone in the CGI crowd agrees with him. Jaime straight up rides his horse up the steps to the Sept. At this, the soldiers present arms. Jaime says that he speaks for his son/nephew and that he will kill everyone in the Faith Militant if he has to.
High Sparrow says that’s alright then ’cause they’ve been looking to become martyrs for like, a minute. But… dramatic pause… there is no call for it today. He’s gonna set Margarey free with no walk, you nerds. Mace tells his soldiers to chill. High Sparrow goes on to say that Margarey has already atoned by recruiting someone else to join the cult. Tommen comes out of the Sept looking freshly brainwashed. Jaime shares a look with Olenna and then looks super grossed out by his incest baby.
The High Sparrow says that they are announcing a new age of alliance between the crown and the Faith Militant. Tommen talks (why?) and says they are gonna make the seven kingdoms great again. Mace angrily asks Olenna what’s happening and she bitterly admits that the High Sparrow has beaten them, that’s what’s happening.
Diva: Thanks for playing the audience surrogates, you guys!
Catherine: Back in the throne room of the Red Keep, Jaime pulls off his little King’s guard suit all mad. Tommen tells him that attacking the Faith Militant is basically attacking the crown now, so he’s fired. Jaime reminds him that he’s been a member of the King’s guard since before Tommen was a taboo feeling in his testicles (M: I’m dead), so WTF?
Jaime tells him he doesn’t have to do this and he doesn’t have to answer to anyone. Tommen looks a bit nervous and says that his decision is final. Jaime asks him if he’s gonna have to do a walk of atonement now. But no silly, they don’t show naked actors on this show. Just actresses.
Tommen says that he will still serve the king but he’s kicking him out of King’s Landing. Jaime’s getting busted down to beat cop or something, I guess.
Diva: Should there have been more build-up to this? Jamie getting kicked out of the Kingsguard should be a BFD, and it really doesn’t feel like one. I mean, the dude got to stay in the Kingsguard after he LITERALLY MURDERED the King he was supposed to Guard. And he’s getting fired for THIS?
Catherine: Feels like things are happening very quickly this season in some of the story lines.
The Twins. Yeah, we’re visiting Walder Frey. Remember him? We last saw him after he had just killed like, 3 Starks and was busy being a douche? Post-Red Wedding, I mean. He’s back. Yay?
Two of his many sons arrive to tell him that they lost Riverrun to the Blackfish. He recaps that they let the Blackfish (who is Catelyn’s uncle, btw, for those of us who don’t remember because it’s been 3 fucking years) escape after the Red Wedding and he told them to hunt him down but they couldn’t find him. And now he’s taken Riverrun. Walder Frey is pissed because he hates him some Tullys. He wants to take Riverrun back but his sons tell him that they don’t have the men. Apparently a bunch of formerly loyal families have defected to the Tully side since Frey proved he’s about as loyal as Jay-Z. Also the Brotherhood Without Banners is rallying the commoners against them.
Diva: Here’s what I have to say about the Freys making Brotherhood Without Banners reference, without getting spoilery: OMG OMG OMG ARE WE GETTING LADY STONEHEART OMG OMG OMG PLEEEEEEASE.
Catherine: DON’T PLAY WITH MY EMOTIONS. I’LL DIE.
Walder gets angry and says that everyone is laughing at them and he’s sick of it. He orders them to take the castle back at all costs. He tells them to show the Blackfish the knives they used to kill the Starks and then reminds them that his nephew was the one getting married at the Red Wedding in the first place.
At that, Edmure Tully is brought out in chains. He looks real emo and needs a haircut. I guess he’s been in a dungeon this whole time? Rough stuff. Frey tells Edmure to cheer up and that he’s going home.
Diva: Tullys! Freys! What fucking season is this? (I’m not complaining. I love me some Blackfish. Do you remember when Cat’s father died, and they did the Viking river funeral ritual thingie, and Edmure kept trying to shoot the fire arrow to light the boat on fire but fucked up so badly that the Blackfish had to step in because the Blackfish is cool? No? Ok bye.) (M: I remember now! Thanks, Diva!)
Catherine: King’s Landing. Jaime tells Cersei that he’s being sent to help Walder Frey manage his shit and deal with the Blackfish. Cersei points out that going to the Riverlands is better than going down to dungeon town. Jaime says he’s not going to the Riverlands. He says his gonna go get his buddy, Bronn, get him to gather all of the ruthless killers he knows and march on the Sept again. Lol. Can you imagine being in someone’s phone as their assassin hookup?
Diva: BRB, changing every contact in my phone to Assassin Hookup.
Catherine: Cersei calmly tells him that he can’t do that, and Jaime yells that the High Sparrow stole their son. He says that he’s torn their family apart. But to be fair, you guys needed some tearing apart. (M: Also, way to finally wanna be daddy-like now that your last son is a cult JAIME.) Cersei agrees that they should, and will treat the High Sparrow without mercy, but if they kill him now his buddies are gonna kill Tommen and they’re already 0 for 2 in the dead children department.
Cersei tells him to go head up the army and take the castle back and show them all what Lannisters are made of and show the men who they are loyal to. They get so turned on talking about their family killing a bunch of people that they start making out. I wish I was joking.
North of the Wall. Meera is watching as the man who saved her and Bran skins and cooks a rabbit. IDK how far they got that they can stop to have this conversation but apparently they can. She asks him why he helped them and he says that the Raven sent for him. Meera says that the Raven is dead. The man says that he lives again just as Bran wakes up from a dream.
The man in black tells Bran that when he last saw him, Bran was a boy. Bran asks him who he is and he takes off his hood to reveal BENJEN STARK.
AW YEAH MOTHERFUCKERS! STARK COMEBACK 2k16!!!
Diva: I’M ANGRY THAT I’M WATCHING THIS REVEAL INSTEAD OF READING IT, BUT I’M STILL SO HAPPY ABOUT IT!!!! #STARKS4AFTERLYFE
Catherine: Bran points out that Benjen is less dead than previously thought. Benjen recaps that he was on a White Walker hunting trip with the Night’s Watch when a White Walker stabbed him and he was left to die. We remember this from, like, 6 years ago. But after this, the Children of the Forest found him and stopped the White Walkers magic from taking hold with a shard of Dragon Glass plunged into his heart. So now he’s like, half White Walker. He looks sorta gross but hey, any Stark in a storm.
Mari: I literally wrote, “sorry about your face Benjen, but we take Starks in any form please and thank you!” under Diva’s comment before I saw your “any Stark in a storm.” What we’re really saying here, friends, is YAY!
Catherine: ‘Any Stark in a storm’ is our house motto.
Benjen tells Bran that he has to learn to control his Raven powers before the Night King finds them again. He says that one way or another the Night King is gonna find his way south past the wall and when he does, Bran will be there to stop him.
Vaes Dothrak. Dany is hitting the old dusty trail (literally) with her new Dothraki squad. She stops Daario and asks him how long it will take to get to Meereen. He tells her a week. She asks how many ships she’s gonna need to get everyone (The Dothraki, their horses, The Unsullied, The Second Sons, her wardrobe, Tyrion’s liquor, etc.) to Westeros. Daario guesses that she will probably need 1,000 or so. So, no big. Only literally nobody has that many ships in their entire world.
Daario asks what’s gonna happen after they get to Westeros and Dany tells him that she will take back her throne. He says that she wasn’t meant to sit on a chair in a palace and that she’s a conqueror and she’s gonna get bored. Good point. Dany notices something off in the distance and tells everyone to wait while she checks it out.
But don’t worry, it’s not a random killer or anything. She comes back a bit later riding Drogon. She parks it in front of them so they can all get a load of the crazy they’re walking into. Also so she can be super dramatic. Dany tells the Dothraki that every Khal ever has choosen three main bloodriders to ride by his side but that she isn’t a Khal so she’s choosing all of them. Then she asks if they will ride the wooden horses across the narrow sea and kill her enemies. Everyone cheers. They’re all super pumped about the killing part of this and the cool dragon.
End of episode.
This felt like kind of a weird place to end the episode, to me, because Dany giving a speech to boost her troops and impressing them all with a dragon feels a little repetitive. She’s impressed so many people with the damn dragons now. It’s like, we get it. I feel like the writers are great at giving Dany these big impressive moments and not so great at figuring out what to do with her in between. Maybe that’s been said before but it’s true.
Mari: It makes me wonder if the show is doing it on purpose to highlight the fact that while we’ve all probably enjoyed stints on #TeamDany, she isn’t actually a great leader? She’s basically just great and forcing her way into things? With fire and dragons and armies and stuff? And that’s a certain kind of achievement, but here we are, still watching Dany wandering around and yelling at people…
Catherine: It definitely feels, especially with Daario’s speech, that they’re trying to highlight that.
This season continues to be like a high school reunion in terms of bringing back characters we haven’t seen for years. The writers are obviously making a push to bring some people back here and I appreciate that. Even if I barely remember Edmure or Benjen they seem like they’re on our side? So? (M: Any Stark in a storm!)
Diva: 1000% agreed on Dany. I think I’m more of a sucker for her dramatic speeches than most, and even I could barely keep myself from rolling my eyes. Sure, every speech is better if your pulpit is a dragon, but I could take or leave that entire scene. I’m also loving the high school reunion. The show began with the scattering of the Starks, and slowly – painstakingly slowly – the ones who are still alive (and some who aren’t) are making their way back to each other.
Catherine: Yeah, the writers are clearly making a push to bring back the Starks this season, with Benjen coming back, Sansa and Jon teaming up, Arya flubbing her assassin job and bringing back Needle clearly indicating that she is having second thoughts about throwing away her life. And all I can say to that is HELL YEAH. I love me some Stark power. The story is mostly about them and they’ve been so beaten down and separated over the years that it’s awesome to see them potentially regaining their strength for a comeback. Because, let’s face it, we all want the Starks to win in the end, right? Or at least be happy somehow. That’s why we’re all here. We’re not rooting for fucking Ramsay, writers.
Diva: More on Dany, in relation to the “who are we rooting for?” question: I don’t think it’s an accident that Daario calls her a conqueror – not a ruler, not a queen, not a mother of dragons, but a conqueror, someone who overcomes others by military (or dragon-ary) force. And in the same episode we get a glimpse of her father – “burn them all,” Mad Aerys was saying before Jamie killed him. And let’s not forget Dany’s new PR campaign, which includes a red priestess telling everyone not just that Dany is the reason for their freedom and security, but that she’s godly, the fulfillment of a prophecy that involves murdering nonbelievers with fire. We were so excited – myself included – when Dany torched those misogynist Dothraki douchefaces, but where does she draw the line? Where does it stop being vengeance and start being murder? When does it stop being powerful and start being psychotic? Wasn’t her speech at the end of this episode just a longer way of saying, “burn them all”?
Mari: EXACTLY. Yes. Dany is becoming the hero we really don’t need at this point.
I’ll just kind of bring it back to Arya for a second because her potion of the story was perhaps what stood out to me the most. I’m so damn excited that we are leaving the House of Black and White. We were over it and I’m glad she’s finally over it. It ties into what Diva was saying about Dany and that question “where does she draw the line?” We’ve all see hate fill Arya’s eyes as she stabs child-raping douchesfaces multiple times and we ~*understood*~. It took a play and talking to Lady Crane for her to come to terms that she is not okay with killing apart from reason and justice, though her own versions of it. If you cross Arya Stark, she will murder you, sure, but she isn’t here for faceless killing. We get that boo boo. We’re here for you. Also, beat that waif.
Finally, Margaery. I hope to God that she is acting and I’m pretty sure that she is. When the army came riding up to save her, I think she looked more confused than relieved. There was at least a mix of emotions. I’m not digging this fake-alliance AT ALL, but I can at least admire that Margaery was in that prison by herself, trying to save her broken down brother, and she didn’t know help was on the way. She also didn’t wait for help to reach her. Everyone was scheming on the outside, but Margaery was forming her own plans, even though that meant forming an alliance with the High Sparrow and pretending to like reading the Bible, or whatever.
Catherine: And now, aim your peepers at these #gameofsnark tweets:

Next time on Game of Thrones: Everyone goes to Riverrun on S06 E07 – The Broken Man.
I'm a 30-something south Floridan who loves the beach but cannot swim. Such is my life, full of small contradictions and little trivialities. My main life goals are never to take life too seriously, but to do everything I attempt seriously well. After that, my life goals devolve into things like not wearing pants and eating all of the Zebra Cakes in the world. THE WORLD.
I'm a J.D. by day/blogger by night who directs her snark and judgment primarily towards celebrities and their many red carpet mishaps. Blogging from the style capital of the world (just kidding - I live in DC), I rant and rave over the best and worst in fashion and pop culture.
I am a 30-something year-old human woman who lives in Maine. I'm a freelance writer who mostly spends time that I should be doing that, watching T.V. I also love reading and comic books way too much.
