This post is straight up stupid. The things in this show you apparently don't have a problem with - actual rape; castration; slavery; brutal murder after brutal murder; incest; on and on, but this (and a consensual sex scene between married people) you have a problem with? Go back to fucking Care Bears and leave us alone. You are the child.

Even though I don't get people who would suddenly be offended, some of the comments towards Hiro11 seem a little over the top.

This.Sure, the whole arena scene didn't look spectacular from a visual standpoint but it was still awesome. I mean, what do people expect? This isn't a movie with a 250mil budget. Was the episode as good as last week's episode? I didn't think it was but it was still great.

I agree that the Arya stuff has become a chore, mainly because I was thinking they'd just timeskip her into an assassin... but she hasn't learned much and is already getting on the wrong side of her teacher. And I really, really hope her scene next week is not what breaks the internet (I doubt it is).
Yeah, Jorah was clearly aiming at the dude in the mask trying to kill his queen, although my first thought was he's killing the fiance. That was actually really odd that the fiance wasn't one of the Harpys, especially after he came back from getting everything prepared right before the fight.
Imagine what Ramsey Bolton + the Sons of the Harpy could do, they'd be invincible.

In the UK, there is a Game of Thrones live after show called "Thronecast" ( WEBSITE ) that talks about the series (it seems a bit like a "Talking Dead" for GOT).
And on it, the GOT guests have been saying episode 10 is the big one for this season. Here's some clips from Thronecast:

And the last couple seasons, episode 8 has been huge.

I'm pretty sure the "breaks the internet" is one of two things (maybe both), and certainly not that.

Guys, I don't think the Sons of the Harpy are old nobles with knives, there are too many of them to be the Meereenese upper class. I'm sure the nobles are the ones orchestrating the attacks, and the ones we see fighting are mercenaries paid off by the nobles.
The producers spent a week with Martin at his place in Santa Fe getting detailed outlines of what happens to each character and plot line in the remaining books. Rest assured, Shireen gets sacrificed in book 6.

Good riddance to little Miss Know-it-all. Won't have to look at her doe-eyed stone-face ever again. Or hear how great reading is. If I wanted to read I wouldn't be watching TV. Not enough screams of horror either as it made her death seem too fast. Overall a very enjoyable scene. Am I cool enough to keep watching the show?
Actually the fact that nobody was talking about the army of the dead and the white walkers was much more upsetting this episode. Also, you'd think the Nights Watch would be happy there aren't anymore wildlings north of the wall. Not to mention I thought Melisandre knew how important the fight against the walkers was, but she still had Stannis marching south.

How come they shot and landed so many spears at Drogon but they couldn't just kill Daeny with one?

A dragon poses a much more severe and immediate threat than an unarmed woman. I'd target the dragon first, too.

Speaking about The Unsullied, where were they? In season 3 there was 8.000, in this episode it looked like Dany only brought 20 to the arena.

Don't burn me at the stake! I am a huge GoT fan and will watch till the bitter end, no matter how morbid and depressing it gets!

only problem with Dorne ending was no gratuitous 18 year old titties bared in the name of feminism. sand snake #2 obviously an early free the nipple advocate. wish the one who got slapped was a feminist too.
i think burning shireen had the desired effect. a character i liked and felt was "good in a horrible world" was horribly killed, i was repulsed and it created an emotional response in me. i also no longer see stannis as a mannis. if it wasn't clear he makes a horrible ruler before, this clinched it.
