Game of Thrones' shortest episode births the longest On The Throne Deep Dive as we catalog a treasure trove of callbacks in "The Spoils of War." Gene lists three battles he believes were better than the dragon attack at Blackwater Rush, and Rog happily counters.

Does Game of Thrones suddenly have a problem killing beloved characters? Is Littlefinger the Severus Snape of Westeros? What does "chaos is a ladder" mean, and how far to Bran's powers go? We answer all those questions, plus dig into who the Golden Company are, whether Tyrion and Daenerys are growing apart, and how the Dothraki caught up with the Lannisters so quickly (they didn't.)
