Yeah it's not necessarily thay I really want to see it but at the same time I don't want the show to pull it's punches. The 'rawness' of GoT is part of it's appeal.

Betting on this being The Hound, considering he's now BFFs with Medieval Big Boss.

I have no desire to see it, but I realise that's not an uncommon occurrence in any world of perpetual war. I don't mind it being part of the show; I just don't want to see it.
What annoys me about that battle is that Yara took a lot of Iron Islanders with her when she escaped, because in the shot when Euron sees them sailing away there is dozens of boats (and maybe a comment that they stole all the ships?), so it stands to reason that Yara would have a lot of her most trusted and most experienced sailors/warriors with her. So the idea that Euron could spring a trap on Yara's fleet completely successfully just doesn't jive with me. It felt like cheap writing to wipe out a massive advantage that Dany's side had.
I would like to see The Hound and Brienne team up to take him out.
The exact conversation is:
Bran: (As Dayne & the other Targeryan soldier walk past) "Ser Arthur Dayne"
Three-Eyed Raven: "The Sword of the Morning"
Bran: "Father said he was the best swordsman he ever saw."
I don't know how from that brief exchange you would surmise that they were talking about a sword. I also don't see how the sword is prominent or focused on. Ned grabs a blade off the floor to finish Dayne after Meera's father injures him, but the blade itself is not made out to be special. Unless you can link a video with a time-stamp of when this took place?
Bran points out "It's Ser Arthur Dayne", and the Three-Eyed Raven says, "The Sword of the Morning" - and he was looking at the man, not the sword.

Who's taking what knee?
Dany told Tyrion to summon John to bend the knee. Which he won't do, we're thinking.

How come he won't do it? He seems bent hell on getting help to fight the army of the dead and he seems to be above all of the iron throne mess.

she will probably get some torture. potentially there will be a rescue by theon but i doubt it.
as for brienne and sam.. well sam is almost as important as bran at the moment. he will get the knowledge bombs to serve the good guys. also he is curing jorah who will be a force against the army of the dead with his valerian steel sword.
regarding the sand snakes... yeah good riddance. tyene is the best anyways.
Jon has the Mormont's valerian sword.
I don't think he'll have to considering Dany just lost a big part of her fleet.
He's a king who wants to ally, if he bends the knee he tacitly admits to Dany being his overlord (or lady), that her title is more important and powerful than his, that once the war is won she will rule the seven kingdoms... including the North.
Plus he has the example before him of the King Who Knelt... never forgotten by the North. Incidentally said King and invading conqueror Aegon are both his ancestors.
She was younger it seems. Maybe a sign that she is dying? Like Benjamin Button just with magic

ahh good point, he doesn't want to get involved in Danereys war anyway

If you get on the internet and talk about how upset you are about it, then the rest of the internet knows what an amazing person you are in your personal life!

I think when he says "his sword" hes referring to Sam, as in he will let Jorah use it.
SporeCrawler

yes and sam has another which he isnt going to use, probably
to be fair. theon always was a coward

it would make an amazing character arc.
a prisoner of war as a boy who was treated as a family be his captors
then a traitor who stabbed the back of his brother
then a broken man
then a figure that is sometimes brave and sometimes cowardly
and finally a shining hero that brings the dawn.

Theon gonna join Foot Locker when this is all over.
Carcetti will come visit him for his next run for mayor.
Even if Theon didn't suffer from PTSD he made the right choice. If he charged at Euron, he would've slit Yara's throat and then they'd kill Theon. Yeah it looked cowardly, but at least Theon wasn't the one hiding behind a girl 
.
And well, considering these guys were cutting out tongues of survivors and torturing them, and Theon having a history with cutting off limbs and body parts.... It's the only move that makes sense.
Seriously, did people expect that seeing all that torture around him would "break" him and make him charge at Euron with rage or something? This is GoT, not a shonen anime.

Maybe Sam will give Jorah the Valerian Steel sword he stole from his father?

Yes that plot device that we knew about since season 3. Do people just like to complain for the sake of complaining about this shit?

Kal Drogo shagging an unwilling Danaerys? Not a violent rape, but she clearly wasn't consensual at the beginning of their marriage.
lol oh wow I forgot the dany rape scene, been what 7 years. Sansas rape scene you just see Theons face so its off scene. And I refuse to believe Cersei got raped by anyone, you don't rape Cersei and not end up dead. Cersei is the most powerful woman character in the TV show.
I am really disappointed at how this series has dropped in quality. The amount of holes is absolutely crazy and the amount of stupid things happening is getting too much...
How Euron was able to ambush those ships without ANYONE ever noticing him (and we are not talking about random folk but sea-born soldiers) is just something I might accept from another series, not GOT. Then during the battle it seems like he has equipped the "strictly 1 vs 1 perk"...
Danny decides to speak to Varys now, after arriving at Dragonstone, the entire journey aboard the ships I guess they were playing cards or something far more important than making that speech...
Dont know what the writers are thinking lately, but this is getting worse and worse... sure I can understand some lenience, but the eye-rolling material is getting too much.

Euron should have also passed by Dragonstone multiple times before Dany even reached it.

I wonder if Davos has any ill will towards Tyrion? I mean he's kinda the reason his son is dead.
I also thought she looked different - has the actress had surgery? That's what I thought

Doubt it, Davos understands war.

This isn't how words work.
Jaime raped Cersei. Maybe she forgave him because she loves him and she probably eventually gave in to it in the moment, but he forced penetration while she was audibly telling him "no".
That is rape. Period. Your need for it to be this extremely violent event that the woman MUST fight off or else get revenge for later isn't helpful or at all realistic and is one of the many reasons rapists aren't taken very seriously.

This show better end with her dead. My most hated character.
I can definitely see why people dislike her. I just feel like there's a lot we have yet to see from her since this is pretty much the first time in the whole show where she's had any freedom and she's still getting her bearings.
Like up until now her plotlines have always been about her relationship to another character like Joffrey or Ramsey, but now that Jon's leaving it seems like it's just going to be about her for once.
The show better end with Ghost as king in the north.
