That last scene is great not just because Hound+Arya=awesome, but for how it shows what the war (& Lannisters) have done to Westeros #GoT — James Poniewozik (@poniewozik) April 7, 2014

Sad #Sansa is sad. Sad even by Sansa standards, which are super high. Sad, sad Sansa. #GoTSeason4

Arya wasn't born a sociopath but it seems as though she's turning into one. Magnificent transformation. #GoTSeason4 — HoldenKushner (@Holdenradio) April 7, 2014
