I like girls.  I love girls and I love boys too, I love lots of things. I love sport as well and I want to see popular sports reported well. I don't want to see unpopular sports of a really low general standard shoved in front of me and expecting me to like them - all in the pursuit of a forced agenda. If I wanted to have a forced agenda shoved down my throat at weekends and feel comfortbale being told what I am supposed to like for no good reason then I'd attend my local church.

Where did Uncle Benjy come from?
Is he really dead? I get the sense there is more to his character that we don't yet know. Either that, or they realised he hadn't been mentioned for a while, was a loose end and had to kill him off. I am amazed he hasn't already died out there on his own against entire armies. Maybe he can't die.?

The BBC are really starting to piss me off! Its a constant ram raid of minority and Women's sports. They even had over 75 hockey on the news this morning! Their approach to diversity is as subtle as a brick and whilst I get the need for more variety and diversity in the world, they are taking it too far! Deliberately putting Women's rugby and football before other sports on the radio is just crap! It should be based on what's popular and what the audience want to know not what their agenda is. Every panel line up and news programme and feature now has to have full representation at the cost of quality punditry. It's like a tick box exercise for them... Have we got a woman? Yes, have we got a man? Yes, what about a disabled person?? Oh yeah lets give that black guy who used to play wheelchair basketball a ring, oh and ensure that boring Jermain Jenas has a seat on MOTD even though he is utter turd!!
The recent publication of wage gaps was badly handled and they were just looking for sensationlist reactions to the issue without fairly reporting the analysis (see the Dan walker vs Louise Minchin example). They are this week running a story about Mark Wahlberg getting paid more than any female actress. Who fucking cares?!! If he's negotiated a better deal than his female equivilents then so what?
The recent athletics coverage was embarassing at times. They are no longer fair and impartial. The way they spoke to the lady from the IAAF about the decision to not let the Botswanan guy run was a disgrace. They followed the rules and the advice of Doctors. She answered the tick-box panel's questions over and over again and still they got aggressive with her asking the same questions again and again. It was clear they had an opinion and were biased rather than just trying to report what was true.
They should make the BBC a true subscription service and give us all an option not to pay our licence fee.

Great episode! Fantastic narrative and performances and a lot less big CGI battles.
I missed how Bran got to Winterfell from the Wall? As in episode 1 or 2 he and Meera turned up at the Wall and then we saw no more of it.
Euron's face when he asks Jaimie if Cersei likes a finger up the bum :-) priceless. What a character.
Looked like they arrived with a few other people so maybe the nightswatch had a couple of men drag them to winterfell since hes is Jons brother. Either that or Meera dragged him down, the look on her face was deffo one of "He's your problem now!" Meera being in Winterfell is interesting in that her father Howland Reed might show up to pick her up and Howland also knows the truth about Jons true parentage and Bran knows that he knows.How do you even remember this stuff? I struggle remembering what I had for dinner last night. We don't remember it. We're GoT geeks..... We watch YouTube analysis videos immediately following every episode and they remind us..... This
