I was talking more about having Shae reach out for the knife first making Tyrion killing her an act of self defense
It wasn't really, though. Grabbing a weapon is natural when someone sneaks into the room in the dead of night. And he still ran and jumped in the bed to kill her. People didn't root for Tyrion because it was "self defense", they rooted for Tyrion "because she was a bitch".

The show's diverging radically from the books now, but the whole sequence with Sam was quintessentially Gurmy. The poop, the revelation that the maesters beileved Sam but didn't care, etc.

Seriously, there is so much feces in the books, that Sam montage should filled purists with warmth and familiarity

I actually find Sams story the most compelling right now because it feels kind of new I guess. But I don't know what's going to come of it.

He's going to find the Philosophers' Stone.

Given that he also managed to get there before Dany reached Dragonstone, it's even more impressive, unless Vary's gave him his teleporting device.

Funny, that. When Reanimated Jon left Castle Black, it seemed like Edd was left in charge, and still is. Shouldn't they have a new election for the post of Lord Commander?

We wouldn't know if they haven't.

Shouldn't the old guy who commanded the Shadow Tower be the prime candidate considering he is more experienced that any of the guys left at Castle Black?

Well, the actor's dead, so the character might as well be too.

It was always a given that the good guys were gonna win, no matter which individuals died. I think it's pretty silly to think otherwise. GRRM has repeatedly said the ending would be bittersweet, which is good guys winning with cost.
