I think the difference between him and Joffrey is that the latter was an utter coward whereas at least Bolton has some balls and will actively take part in the fruits of his sadism. With regard to the balls, the future of that remains to be seen. I suspect a certain victim of his may be back for some stone cold vengeance at some point.
Watched last nights episode - epic sword fight scene!
Made up for the dross that was the sand snails fight last season.....

Ya was an excellent sword fight alright . Bit of a slow episode overall though
What I never understand is why TV sword fights are always about whacking each other with the side of the blade, which is both tiring and ineffective. It looks and sounds good, but it doesn't bear any relation to real swordfighting, in which, as Jon Snow explains, you're aiming to stick them with the pointy end.
Not sure why, but I'm having real trouble getting into this latest season. Hopefully it will work itself out.

I enjoyed the episode. It was slower but if it was always fast paced then we wouldn't appreciate it. Some nice bridging to what looks to be the main arcs for the rest of the story.
I'm sure I heard somewhere that there will be just 2 seasons after this. Anyone heard the same and can verify?
Yeah the producers have said it will only run for 8 seasons.

Well that was a good ending!
its going to end in tears...
Hoping Ramsey is about to get his ass handed to him in a huge way!
After last Season I was seriously considering giving up on this, but this new series has been great so far for me.
Glad I stuck with it.
Seems that this season has committed to killing at least 1 of the long term characters in every episode . Wonder who's next
It's started a bit too slow, there are only 10 episodes they need to ramp up the pace before the series is over
Im watching the whole series again
Quality TV
They need to hurry up and get the dragons out.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Indeed. What use is half a tonne of fire breathing aggression, nay, three half tonnes of fire breathing aggression if it isn't being used to give the good news to all the nasty transgressors? Mind you, it might be like one of those 'how it should have ended' videos on youtube, where Daenerys simply proclaims 'enough!' sending her trio of half tonne fire breathing aggressors to wipe out the entire cast, ending the whole series around season 4, and the final scene has Drogon warming the iron throne with his fire, Daenerys getting her kit off and settling her splendid posterior into the throne as the dragons eat the flame grilled carcasses of her enemies and Tyrion dances around in motley.

that is freaky!
So episode 5 has been leaked and I couldn't wait for the morning.
It's all coming together nicely , storylines are being fleshed out , but there's a terribly sad end to this one.
Well that was harrowing.
Indeed, that was surprisingly affecting at the end.
rough episode . i think this pretty sums up game of thrones . happened me at least 5 times now
I think I was more affected by the opening shot "backstage" when we got a close up of a new member of the cast.
Appealed to you? The mummer's play had some nice features.
I didn't think this show could shock me any more with deaths but that was just wow - RIP.
I have to say this whole season has been excellent - maybe the whole not knowing has been a factor, but I sense the speed of the story is not only picking up but we can feel the conclusion coming.

Ha ha - both pictures
haha very good....and very sad, will miss the big man servant..
Was that Richard E Grant back stage or did I just imagin it?
On nato :D
Last night's episode, was that the first time they did a scene before the opening credits?
That I can remember. I had to rewind to make sure it wasn't an ad for The Vikings.
Bizarelly I was thinking that they had never done that before, just before watching the episode!
However, it didn't look right (probably filmed by a different crew on another location?), and I also began to believe that I had recorded something else, until some very GoT sounding background music began.
Thinking about it, a lot of US shows do this (opening scene then the opening credits) I wonder if this was a mistake by HBO or Sky for the British broadcast?
I was looking forward to seeing how Ian McShane's character developed.

I was surprised: I thought he died several years ago...
