Haha I was thinking the same thing. When the White Walker was slowly trotting the horse along the snow I was thinking "Looks a lot like a Death Knight, steed included." Then the Citadel shows up, and it was like "This cannot be a coincidence anymore."

That's exactly what we're saying, (The south park episode about GoT summarizes what's going on pretty succinctly), so unfortunately there is nothing to tell, about the white walkers anyways. Apparently the 6th book which is yet to be released has a lot more about them (called 'Winds of Winter')

I do, but it took me a moment. It was the episode before last, I believe. Theon told Ramsay and Roose that Bran and Rickon were alive and were probably going to the Wall to see Jon, and Roose told Locke to - I can't remember if it was to kill Jon Snow or just to vaguely deal with it, but the effect is much the same.

No, I think the show-runners just horrendously miscalculated how the audience would (correctly) interpret the rape from last weeks episode. I doubt there will be any mention of that sequences throughout the rest of the season (considering it is already filmed), and we will be left with Jaime the Rapist forever burned into our minds. It's a shame because the moments between Jaime and Brianna were quite great in this episode, but now it's hard to see Jaime without seeing him viciously rape his sister.

Though they could easily reshoot the scene for the Bluray if they really felt they messed up bad.
Actually, reading this interview with the director makes it seem like it may have been an editing issue rather than an issue with how they shot the scene. Quote:

I am going to sound the asshole, but I am probably the one out of few people who didn't view the scene as rape. I rewatched it. Ceresi rips his shirt off. And when she said "no" I didn't think she meant "no" to the sex, she was saying "no to the place". She also at the end of the scene yes, and make it quick.
So it wasn't that she didn't want to have sex or that he was having sex with her out of consent. I think it was more Ceresi conflicting emotions of having sexing near their sons dead body. But then again Ceresi is a raging bitch.

It looked like rape, and it did seem like a major head-scratcher in light of his development at the time, but if the directors claim it was just a mistake on their part, I'm pretty okay with moving on and taking them at their word.
I think Jaime was a total douche when we met him in season one and he knocked Bran down from the window, but his captivity character arc said to me growth rather than just "he's nuanced". The nuance bit was when he explained the true story behind the "kingslayer" (as in - yeah, he was a bad guy back then, but he wasn't pure evil). Starting especially with him saving Branne, it seemed like he was legitimately starting down a more righteous way of life. |

I wonder how good a swordsman Bronn is, because Jaime already seems to be almost his match at conventional sword fighting (and Bronn really makes me laugh when he bests him by some dirty method). I would be great if Jaime fills up his pages with good deeds and is somehow rewarded by some sorcerer that turns his golden hand into a real working hand. |

Hmm so I wonder if that scene was a true spoiler for book readers. The producers/writers supposedly met with martin to glean all the broader strokes of the future book plots from him. They supposedly went over everything he has for each character.
I might have to jump ship on this so I don't ruin future novels. This show has been really great but I don't want it to infringe on my ability to be surprised when reading "The Winds of Winter" or any other future books. I'm up in the air over this because as a book reader the only thing that could happen in the books that was shown on Sunday was a glimpse of the land of always winter. Everything else really went way of the reservation for what happens in the books. Really I would say about 50-60% of Sundays episode was completely made up and not from the books. Not sure what to do now.

To be fair, as someone who didn't read the books, I suspected Littlefinger to have a hand in it. In a Vladimir Putin way. And the reasons he did it makes sense with the character and the interested parties.
