We finally get a long-awaited piece of sweet sweet action, and we finally get a long awaited piece of a meeting that leads to devious conversation with dramatic declarations. Some other stuff happened too, mostly consisting of Cersei learning that Sparrow jail has nothing in common with the cushiness of Orange is the New Black, Sansa showing no compassion for rando farmboys, and Arya doing something the payoff of which probably won't happen until Season 17, but no one cares about any of this because Walkers.

Are there sharks in Westeros? This episode brought us a fight scene so campy it made the A Team look like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and dashed the Agents' high expectations of the Sand Snakes's badassery. The agents discuss the controversial last scene, and debate the question, 'Is Sansa playing the long, long game, or is she another victim of bad writing?" And much much more, just to be able to include a phrase we can thank the English language for: "The dwarf lives until we find a c*ck merchant."

What happens at Con -- ends up on the internet and talked about it in this ep! For this episode, Agent Jackson of Operation Cubicle Podcast and Shareefjackson.com joins us to talk conventions of all kinds.
