And I'm also thinking this will somehow tie into Sam's findings on how to defeat the White Walkers. But yeah, far from a wasted scene, even if it's just developing the relationship between Sam and Jorah.

I was eating then too, and during Sam's call of doody montage last episode. Didn't bother me too much, really.

I was eating mini-Burritos and dipping them in Ranch during the Jorah scene. For maybe a second I was like "ehhhhh" and then I got over it because I was hungry.
Did you follow the last season and last episode? Highgarden and Dorne are right by Storms End and connections have been made already.

Eh, was pretty tame compared to some medical dramas or documentaries.

Yeah, I don't like him either. He needs more development, because at the minute he just seems like a vaudevillian pantomime character.
This was my take as well. It's relatively rare and very contagious, so not too much effort has been put into curing the infected.
Yeah, everyone being in Dany's throne room all of a sudden was odd. Given how long Arya and The Hound spent travelling North and then to the Vale, or how long it took Brienne and Jaime to travel to King's Landing it seems like characters now have access to teleportation.
Eating during Game of Thrones...I put the fault on you dude
This doesn't make any sense. If it take months/years to kill an infected person, during which time they can spread the disease by touch alone, then the whole world should have caught it by now.

Watching some YT reactions, a lot of people think Theon is a coward for not helping Yara. I think they need to be reminded of what he's gone through that that he would have been killed if he tried to help her,

the place where tyrion/jorah ran into them was a secluded island like place? That's probably where they dump them. I assume greyscales don't swim or have the capacity to swim, and jorah/tyrion took that area as a shortcut iirc, thus how jorah got infected.
I'm assuming such a procedure would be dangerous, with the patient getting in cardiac arrest due to their fragile condition, stress and extreme pain. Even early cases would be difficult to treat that way, potentially multiplying the sources of infection on the patient and allowing an even faster spreading. This along with the procedure being very likely for the practitioner to become infected. Exiling the patients was the best they could do. Sam is risking both their lives by doing it.
Modern medicine would deal with it with a hefty dose of antibiotics, the scales wouldn't be removed (or removed later, after the cause of the infection has been treated). Removing the skin would expose the underlying tissues to potential infections, would take a while to grow back, would be super painful while exposed, and give mostly scar tissue. But more importantly the disease would likely not be cured and the infection could spread again.
Only people with plot armour would risk it.

I suspect they Cersei might need her hostages alive to keep Dorne at bay.

I actually lol'd when Arya was casually talking about making pies. Goddamn.
It's the fantastic equivalent of leprosy.
Here's an article that delves more into it. While it does contain book resources, none are spoilery: the descriptions of the disease are just more thorough.

Even better is to think that everyone managed to appear on Dany's throne room, but Bran can't get from the Wall to Winterfell before Jon leaves to meet Dany, and therefore not being able to tell him they're related (assuming he did figure that out by himself).
Sam's storyline continues to be filmed the most interestingly - it's just refreshing when characters are doing shit and not just standing in one spot and talking. The graphic match was great, classy cutaway before it became actually gruesome.
I also thought the battle, however unsatisfying, wasn't too shabby. Theon's abandon ship moment probably could have used more shots so as to avoid unintentional humour but the buildup to it was as clear as it gets.
Overall I regret watching the show episode by episode, should have waited out these first three with how things are moving at a tepid pace.

Loved the raining ember, reminded me a lot of the Witcher 3.
I really liked the ember too, I thought it was a perfect visual embellishment and combined with Allen's performance it was a really great shot. I'm mostly watching the show for the spectacle and visuals so this episode satisfied me in that regard. Even the sex scene had some really well-lit, as in technically well lit not bright, close ups when they're standing by the fire.

Only if you consider running away from certain death and insurmountable odds to be cowardly. Especially given that, no matter how tough and stable he tries to appear around his sister, he's been psychologically broken and tortured for an indeterminate amount of time. He's not cowardly, I just hope he's able to get revenge on his fucking uncle.
I would give a shit about the person who sought out Daenerys Targaryen and gave her means to crossover.

I forget, but have we had a reaction from Theon yet with news that Ramsey got wasted?

part(most) of the fleet should be carrying the unsullied to Casterly rock
Hadn't thought of that.
Damn that'd be extra vicious, right in Cersei's wheel house.
They also got one of their daughters (the popular one) alive, too, no?
Ultimately that's what D&D have to work with.
They visited George (between what I believe was Seasons 3 and 4) and mapped out all the major plot points left beyond the books.
You're catching on. That's why geography, motivation, political alliance, the feudal system, and time lines have completely gone by the wayside.
What you should expect going forward is
-Alliance forms.
-This army dies.
-This army dies in retaliation.
-This army gets surprise attacked.
-This character gets revenge killed.
Repeat until whitewalker apocalypse

Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense as Cersei won't give a shit about her. At first I thought it was to make her fleet surrender, but it looks like Euron won that battle pretty decisively anyway.

Kill her daughter in front of her and have Mountain basically rape the mom.. Ughhh..
Yara likely to be torched by her fave uncle as well....
Brutal. That B2B 9.9/10 from the last two episodes of season 6 though, damn!
I think there will be a trial by combat where the sand snake girl will defeat the mountain thereby avenging her father and redeeming sand snakes🤔
Maybe, but what would she do that Euron couldn't have done on that boat? I mean, she doesn't have a particular hate/interest about the character, unlike Ellaria, Tyrion or even Jon & Daenerys.
Yara's just a bonus gift essentially.
He can't give her Balon, for rebelling, so gives her the next best thing.
Shes really beginning to piss me off with that. Yes, by name and by blood, shes a Stark and has more rights to lead than Jon. But Jon was Lord Commander of the Nights Watch and he fought against the white walkers. She should just shut up and let him do his damn job.
I've never been excited to see another man's penis until last night's episode.
Is Grey Worm... fully equipped? They said the Unsullied are castrated but there was a line or two in earlier seasons which threw the idea into doubt. And now after last night I don't know what to believe.

I didn't know so much people hate the sand snakes lol.
The show embraced the hatred for them with Olenna snapping at them in the S6 finale and Euron killing two of them with their own weapons.
I'm sure she'll take down the Mountain with ease
She look like a 12 years old kid on that gif lol. Such a small girl.

I thought that Olenna scene was cute. They're being told off by a old woman who won't put up with their attitudes.
