In yet another standout performance, has Game Of Thrones' Peter Dinklage earned another Emmy?

Game Of Thrones - Inside Episode 8 (Cr: HBO)
Joffery (Jack Gleeson) insists that Sansa (Sophie Turner) be stripped and carried off to the wedding bed. A drunken Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) objects to this final insult to the massive injury he and Sansa have suffered at his father's hands. Tyrion threatens the King who is practically speechless because ya know, no one does that to the grand royal sociopath and lives--but grandpa Tywin (Charles Dance) comes to the rescue, explaining that he is sure that Tyrion meant the 'threat' as a joke. Tyrion isn't that drunk so he plays along as being even more soused, forcing a laugh and belittling his own male attributes.
After a rather long-winded, vaguely threatening recounting by Cersei (Lena Headey) to Margaery (Natalie Dorner) of the basis of the song 'The Rains of Castamere,' Cersei responds to Margaery's previous overture that they will be sisters so they should become friends with, 'If you ever call me sister again, I'll have you strangled in your sleep.'
Niiiiice one, Cersei. Easy to see where King Joff got his sociopathic tendencies.

Note: Premieres JUNE 2 (There is a two-week gap between episodes 308 and 309 due to American Memorial Day weekend.)
I love how vague the HBO episode descriptions are. They certainly do a fine job of teasing what might happen (See--Episode 308: 'Sam and Gilly meet an older gentleman,' which translated to the screen as, 'Sam and Gilly are attacked by a white walker intent on taking Gilly's baby son'. So take the Game Of Thrones Episode 309 'The Rains of Castamere,' description as if it were on par in detail with 'an older gentleman' equaling 'a white walker'.
Let's break it down a bit.
First of all, the episode title alludes to the true story that Cersei (Lena Headey) regaled Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) with at Tyrion's (Peter Dinklage) and Sansa's (Sophie Turner) forced wedding, just before Cersei threatened to have Joffery's (Jack Gleeson) bride-to-be 'strangled in (her) sleep', should she ever refer to Cersei as 'sister' again.
Recounting the Rains of Castamere must have gotten Cersei's bloodlust aroused. It is also your clue about the upcoming GoT episode which airs after a 2-week hiatus, due to the American summer holiday weekend.
There will be blood--plenty of it after 'Robb presents himself to Walder Frey, and Edmure meets his bride.' BOOK SPOILER. Keeping in mind that in the TV show Robb Stark plans to ally with the Freys after breaking his promise to wed a Frey daughter. Walder Frey has no intention at all of making peace, quite the opposite is planned in a manner which is beyond Frey's capacity. Frey has joined with another force entirely.

The question isn't 'Will Robb (Richard Madden) survive', but will his wife and unborn child? If GRRM had written this episode I'd expect poor Talisa (Oona Chaplin) to get a knife or arrow to the gut. It was written however, by the guys that are adapting this behemoth for television, David Benioff & D. B. Weiss so I'm hoping that with all the carnage, they might have chosen to let Talisa live.
The allusion to Bran discovering 'a new gift' sounds like it is taken from this photo set:
If you recall, Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) is a 'warg'--a human who can see through the eyes of an animal. Game Of Thrones - Episode 3.09 - The Rains of Castamere (Cr: HBO)
It appears that Bran and Co. have made it to a point on the Wall. Bran is obviously having a vision but of what? His brother Jon and the wildlings? The Red Wedding? Danger in the from of a white walker?

After teasing us for months with frustratingly short sneak peeks at Dexter‘s upcoming eighth and final season, Showtime is finally giving us what we’ve been waiting for: the first full-length trailer!
The following three-minute promo sheds disturbing new light on the mental and emotional breakdown Deb will suffer in the wake of LaGuerta’s murder.
Cocaine binges? Check. Anonymous sex? Check. Prescription drug dependency? Check. DUI bust? Check. Full-on confession? Maybe check**...
I disagree that they are teasing this early in the pre-season, Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) 'making a confession' to the police in light of the fact that we hear audio of a phone call between Dexter and Joey Quinn (Desmond Harrington) in which Quinn tells Dex that 'Your sister was brought in for a DUI last night.' Also, (most) screencaps don't lie: See below.
Here is Deb, getting stopped for the DUI: Notice the distinctive coloring on her coat sleeve.
I think Debra is in no shape to make a coherent statement; it is in fact one of many times, I'm guessing, that Deb will almost spill her dark secrets in this final season of Dexter.
Here Deb is in the same jacket....
....struggling to speak in order to provide 'an official statement' to Lt. Quinn (Desmond Harrington)
