Dark Wings, Dork Words

Cersei is in a great mood.  Pod and Brienne establish a scintillating rapport.  Arya dazzles the Hound with her water dancing skills.  Bran and Jon have a heartwarming reunion at Craster's Keep.  Hodor turns a few heads.  Ghost makes an uncredited cameo.

Brienne gets a new sword and a new squire.  Jon gets a new mission north of the wall.  Bran and his crew get into a nasty scrape.  Tyrion gets a visitor.

This episode is being posted late, so I'll keep the description short:  It's super.

My favorite tweet about this weeks episode, from @Sarcasmo718 "Never pegged Joffrey as one to get choked up at weddings."  The last of the triumvirate of tragic weddings from A Storm of Swords has now played out.  While viewers may be rejoicing now, they may not be so pleased when they see what happens to Tyrion next.  George R.R. Martin wrote this episode, and he made a few surprising deviations from the book, such as Bronn stepping in for Ilyn Payne, and Shae and Tyrion's last exchange.  Ser Dontos reappears after being absent for what seems like two whole seasons.
