Yep

End of an Era

 

[Kusagari]

Damn, at the end of the last season, most of use thought Cersei was fucked. How the tables have turned.

Cersei playing chess, Tyrion playing checkers.

She lucked out by having Ramsay 2.0 desperate to ally with her.

 

[Violence Jack]

Loved it. Lady O giving one last "fuck your family" moment.

But Cersei's clan has been one step ahead of everything.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Really good episode even if they skipped out on the action.

Which is fine, no need to have long drawn out battles. They did similar things earlier in the series.

 

[ComputerBlue]

So how did Jamie know they were going to take Casterly Rock?

Maybe he excepted Tyrion to do it.

Or, little birds?

Or just a strategic guess...

 

[gaiadyne]

So how did Jamie know they were going to take Casterly Rock?

hopefully not Varys

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

It's a bit ridiculous that Dany and Co have zero intel on any of the enemies movements.

It's not like she has a form of recon centuries more advanced than........... oh.

 

[Griss]

I'm honestly stunned at how well the Lannisters are playing this game. I thought they'd be dispatched without too much fuss.

 

[DangerMouse]

I'd prefer Arya to do it disguised as Jaime.

Oooh.

 

[LotusHD]

Really good episode even if they skipped out on the action.

It was super good because they skipped out on the action lol

Not that GoT hasn't had good fights, obviously they have, but yea lol

 

[Spectromixer]

hopefully not Varys

Yeah I was thinking varys or he just guessed

 

[SDBurton]

Damn Olenna went out like a boss.

 

[Kalor]

That was a great episode.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

No one will read this post but that episode was incredible.

Game of Thrones hasn't been that great since season 3

 

[ViciousDS]

Euron Grayjoy needs a fucking bungie nerf dear lord......dude is OP

 

[WillyFive]

How did Jon get all the way to Dragonstone, Bran to Winterfell, the Unsullied to Casterly Rock, but Arya hasn't arrived to Winterfell yet?

 

[Zasa]

Definitely feels like Arya kept on trotting towards King's Landing then. Would kind of be too good to be true to have all four of Jon, Arya, Sansa & Bran at Winterfell.

I'm suspecting Arya's going to be the one to pull off some gamechanger for Dany's side, bar some dragons

 

[nubbe]

Well, Danny has basically lost all her ships

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

This was a great episode imo, much better than the last two in terms of dialogue.

R.I.P Olenna, gave Jaime that last burn.

 

[ComputerBlue]

The only part of the episode I hated was when Euron was prancing through the streets and plenty of people were cheering him on. I feel like he's getting too much love from the common folk.

 

[BigJonsson]

Euron could have tortured someone for that info

 

[Savitar]

Hate them or not, the Lannisters are playing this game proper. They went from having potentially the weakest of hands to now one of great dominance.

And they do have a counter for the dragons as well.

 

[SDBurton]

How did Jon get all the way to Dragonstone, Bran to Winterfell, the Unsullied to Casterly Rock, but Arya hasn't arrived to Winterfell yet?

That's what I want to know.

 

[DragoonKain]

Tyrion not the best battle strategist lol.

 

[Dai101]

Queen of Thorns needling that very last one before she goes out. Like a boss.

Just like that.

Euron is the real MVP, no one really saw him coming.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how gorgeous this episode was?

 

[El-Suave]

The first truly great episode of this season. I expected more punishment for the Dornish. The kiss of death was a relative civil way to go for GoT standards.

 

[Charlie0108]

The Lannisters are benefitting greatly from Dany's refusal to simply storm King's Landing with her dragons, if she did it would be an easy win for her but going about it this way has created a much more even playing field.

 

[sangreal]

Spoiler

Wa.... was that LF head in the block? AWESOME!!!

(preview)

Spoiler

I don't see anyone's head in the block in the preview, though it looks like Brienne is beheading someone. They show Pod thrown to the ground so maybe they are just practicing or something

Wondering more why Sansa is not in winterfell

 

[Ponn]

These dragons are being painfully underutilized.

 

[LotusHD]

Starting to think Dany sucks at this whole war thing...

 

[zsynqx]

Fantastic episode, Olenna went out like a boss.

 

[Eleuin]

The only part of the episode I hated was when Euron was prancing through the streets and plenty of people were cheering him on. I feel like he's getting too much love from the common folk.

Jaime calls them hypocrites in the very next scene

 

[Kalor]

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how gorgeous this episode was?

After the last episode I wasn't expecting much but it looked great.

 

[The Artisan]

Neither Jon or Dany seemed to like or respect each other very much.

 

[Jombie]

I haven't seen the episode yet, but there was no way Dany was going to waltz into Westeros and just one hit KO everyone and take the throne. I think it's what will make her desperate and start acting like her father.

Was it at least better than last week?

 

[TheRed]

Dany will take her dragons to burn a lot of shit up next episode.

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

How did Jon get all the way to Dragonstone, Bran to Winterfell, the Unsullied to Casterly Rock, but Arya hasn't arrived to Winterfell yet?

Stop focusing on the travels, my God this is the worst complaint from the show and books.

We don't have to know how they got there, some time passed as they travelled.

The shows timeline is non-linear in that all the characters separate storylines aren't simultaneous.

 

[the_firewithin]

So bran knows who Jon really is right? That's why he needs to talk to him....

 

[rockinreelin]

There were some great scenes between the main characters but some of the plotting at the end was just way too convenient. It's a pity the GRRM didn't give them more plot details for these last two seasons as it's obvious they don't have much to work on here.

 

[Boke1879]

That was a great episode.

Cersei and her allies are one step ahead though. I feel this will be the case until the Night King shows up.

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how gorgeous this episode was?

Absolutely. Some of those Dragonstone shots were unreal.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

With this episode over I got a new theory:

Since they keep teasing the idea of Sansa betraying Jon, how about this; with Olenna revealing that she was the mastermind behind Joffrey's death, what if Jaime convinces Cersei to drop her grudge against Sansa. That if Sansa is willing to bend her knee, they'll officially make her the Wardeness of the North.

With the Northern Leaders already upset at Jon I could see them pushing for Sansa to take this offer.

 

[zeemumu]

Think about it, though: Every major character who could be considered to have had a hand in the deaths of the Lannister children has been killed/captured.


All but one.

 

[Obliterator]

All Star episode in my opinion. Lots of great scenes.

Loved it

 

[sangreal]

The Lannisters are benefitting greatly from Dany's refusal to simply storm King's Landing with her dragons, if she did it would be an easy win for her but going about it this way has created a much more even playing field.

Tyrion not such a great strategist anymore

 

[Volimar]

Whoever said Kit Harrington isn't a good actor has to eat their words a him almost shitting his pants at seeing the dragons.

 

[BlackGhost]

I'd prefer Arya to do it disguised as Jaime.

This would be so unsatisfying to me

 

[LotusHD]

I haven't seen the episode yet, but there was no way Dany was going to waltz into Westeros and just one hit KO everyone and take the throne. I think it's what will make her desperate and start acting like her father.

Was it at least better than last week?

By far the best episode of the season. Hell, it's one of the best episodes of the entire show imo

 

[ComputerBlue]

The reason Dany is taking L's is apparent in her meeting with Jon, dude comes humbly and she's barking orders with her head high like who gives a fuck woman. She's way too into herself and it's kind of insufferable as a viewer.
