Oh, Ser Meryn, the Westerosi poster boy for the Nuremberg defense. Also I am so relieved with how they're portraying Sansa/Sandor so far; there are so many terrible horribad ways that could have gone.

I suppose that's true -- it just seemed like it went on a little long for the amount of exposition it gave us, due to Pycelle's senile rambling. It wouldn't have seemed so out of place in a different episode, but this was the finale and just about everything else that happened was of great import in some way, so.
