1. I like Ygritte, but she is also really creepy in this episode -- "I will embarrass you sexually then say hey, at least I'm not spreading the secret that will get you murdered, by the way let's be monogamous and never betray me, OR ELSE" is -- well, marriage-by-blackmail-with-threat-of-death is how everyone rolls in Westeros, but it plays especially weirdly here because it's also framed in terms of her appealing to Jon's honour. Plus, she only got to the position of figuring out he's going to betray her by manipulating him into sex by mocking and bullying him. Jon has actual reasons to be sad, I guess, but he's also too dumb to know he's being played (...which, she probably also has feelings for him, but she is not exactly subtle about essentially holding him at gunpoint and demanding his neverending fidelity).
6. Yes!
7. Yes. Littlefinger might be surprised to know that there are people out there being resurrected after deaths and dragons breathing fire and zombies out there. We don't know exactly what kind of story this is, but certainly the framework he is working in is not going to prepare him for things that have nothing to do with men.
8. I had totally been lulled into a false sense of security about Joffrey -- somehow his abject cowardice at the end of season two made him inexplicably endearing, and the creepy-but-also-weirdly-sweet Margoffrey scenes made him just any other boy with a crush. Of course, he can only express that crush by killing things and he sees people as things, so, naturally.... I mean, ugh.
