Cersei playing 4d chess. Dany is getting clowned.

She really is and it sucks because she wanted to do it the 'right' way. She could've won this war in episode one if she wanted.

 

[ComputerBlue]

10/10 episode, except for a few things:

1) Why the hell is Bran acting like a creepy dude now? Dude barely even reacted to seeing his sister.

Bran has seem some shit...Like he can't look Sansa in the eye after seeing her get raped by Ramsay, can't crack a smile around her. Seems creepy, but you have to understand from his perspective, it must be eating away at him knowing he couldn't do anything to help her.

Imagine being a teenager and seeing the history of everything, including the horrible events that have befallen your family. Bran is LITERALLY this right now:

 

[SofNasciment-]

You should spoiler tag trailer stuff, or things that haven't aired. Plenty of people avoid trailers for that reason and it's against thread rules.

Oh, I'm sorry dude. I wasn't aware.

 

[SDBurton]

Jon not taking Dany's bullshit was one of the most satisfying moments in this shows entire run.

Agreed. Stark stubbornness was in full effect and it was glorious.

 

[LotusHD]

God I want to fuck Cersei

Do better lol

 

[LumpOfCole]

No way Highgarden falls in one day, but other than that it was a legit good episode.

Jon might have plot armor but Euron is wielding a mighty plot sword.

 

[sangreal]

guess those visions of dragons and kings landing are about to come true

 

[iShouldGoPro]

I gotta admit.

Raven Bran is freaky as hell.

 

[JORMBO]

This guy with the infinite amount of god mode boats is annoying. How did he take them by suprise again? It was broad daylight.

 

[Einchy]

Imagine being a teenager and seeing the history of everything. Bran is LITERALLY this right now:

He's like the Rain Man of Westeros now. Dude is all 1s and 0s.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Oh, I'm sorry dude. I wasn't aware.

No worries

 

[BadAss2961]

Great episode.

Did Jon and Dany not film together? Seemed that way.

 

[Zolo]

Jon might have plot armor but Euron is wielding a mighty plot sword.

That's what happens when you spend years of raids to get some epic loot.

 

[BizzyBum]

We're still expecting Bran to control one of the dragons, right?

 

[Obliterator]

Does Euron have speed boats or is casterly rock close to kings landong. It hd to be at most a day since he was just with cersEi

I mean Jon went from The North to Dragonstone in the time between episodes.

People need to realize huge chunks of time are happening between episodes / scenes. The show is just running in full overdrive now

 

[Epix]

No way Highgarden falls in one day, but other than that it was a legit good episode.

It didnt, they just didnt want to show a 1 sided siege (even if it only took a few days).

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

This guy with the infinite amount of god mode boats is annoying. How did he take them by suprise again? It was broad daylight.

Clearly, he has boats that can turn invisible and teleport.

 

[1871]

How was it outdated?

Studio-recorded narration with expository purposes. It's more modern to let images or interactions do the talking.

Also, yet another joke about Kit Harrington brooding is another of those moments when the showrunners don't know when to treat their material as more than their toy.

 

[SDBurton]

Fuck the showrunners man

they bring bran back and have him remind his sister of the night she got raped smh

Quickest way to show Sansa that Bran ain't bullshitting apparently.

 

[nubbe]

John has the upper hand now
Could force Danny to marry him

 

[Jarmel]

It's pretty fucking ridiculous how the Tyrells don't have an army backing them.

 

[Gurrry]

Can we all agree easily the strongest episode of the season so far? Yes I know only 3 but I think it was head and shoulders the best

No doubt. The ending really settled that too. Finally putting that to bed was a good way to close the loose ends.

I like that Jon and Dany arent immediately best buds either. That will be one story line we get that isnt rushed at least. (I hope)

You can tell though that this not being 10 episodes hurts this show. It was built on being able to develop characters over a long period of time (call it filler if you want), and this season you can tell they have the fast forward button on. Doesnt ruin the season, its just a vast difference from seasons 1-6.

 

[Ridli]

10/10 episode, except for a few things:

1) Why the hell is Bran acting like a creepy dude now? Dude barely even reacted to seeing his sister.

With his conversation w/ Sansa it seems like he's still getting his bearing as the three eyed raven. He mentioned how he's seeing everything, simultaneously, and how he needs to get better. I imagine he's getting overwhelmed with visions and whatnot so it's probably like he's seeing sansa on a second screen.

I mean, he just mentioned how he's accutely aware of all the details of Sansa's wedding to Ramsay and her rape. Dude is still processing all this shit he's seeing.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

This guy with the infinite amount of god mode boats is annoying. How did he take them by suprise again? It was broad daylight.

You have to remember, ships from Pike are the best in the seven kingdoms.
Euron's ship, the Silence, is the GOAT.

 

[Einchy]

Quickest way to show Sansa that Bran ain't bullshitting apparently.

But it also tells us that Bran is not the Bran we once knew. He is much different now that he is The Three Eyed Raven.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Euron is easily the weakest part of the story right now. It's all ridiculous and kind of annoying, he's also unlikable so that doesn't help.

 

[RustyNails]

I wonder who will take out Euron? Jon Snow? Dany's dragons? That won't have much heft to it.

 

[pestul]

I'd like to think Euron wasn't with that fleet and he just sailed back solo to King's Landing with the prize.

 

[Tall4Life]

It's pretty fucking ridiculous how the Tyrells don't have an army backing them.

They do, but Olenna said herself, they're shit.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

10/10 episode, except for a few things:

He's the Three Eyed Raven.

 

[1871]

Awful acting. The 3 eyed raven that Bran met had more humanity, although he had been the 3 eyed raven for a much longer time.

 

[Nameless]

God I want to fuck Cersei

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

Guess Jon/Dany incest is off the menu boys!

 

[TheSkullPrince]

Bran pretty much confirmed he saw his sister raped. That'd fuck you up too. Fucker has PTSD right now. Poor kid.

You think he would have hugged her, consoled her, cried or something at least. I dunno, seems like a silly argument to have though.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Very good episode. Season moving pretty good. I like.

 

[rambis]

Lol the fire and ice is real. Definitely see the dynamic. They tease Jon the targ a little too much but I guess its not such a big secret. I wonder if Jon could ride one of the dragons.


I find it really hard to take interest in the 7 kingdoms war plot. Im glad they seem to be moving at breakneck speed. I feel like we are due for some night king action soon.

 

[DoubleTake]

This is the best non spectacle focused episode in ages

This. Haven't had an episode that great without being battle focused in years. I hope the rest of the season keeps this quality and stays away from the unnecessarily long gore and poop scenes.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Someone just reminded me. Bran is basically Dr. Manhattan.

 

[CreepingFear]

I want to go out like Lady O. Damn, what a cool lady.

 

[RustyNails]

Cersei playing 4d chess. Dany is getting clowned.

Not quite. Without Euron's wallhax, Cersei would have been done by now.

 

[Slater]

Guess Jon/Dany incest is off the menu boys!

Oh boy you wish, lol

 

[Eleuin]

It's pretty fucking ridiculous how the Tyrells don't have an army backing them.

Doesn't help that the Tarlys weren't with them

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Episode was on fucking point.

Felt like awhile since we've had such great character interactions carried by the writing.

 

[Socivol]

This show continues to piss me off and kill all the good characters while letting the worst ones live to see another day ugh! This was the best episode of the season so far but Bran was such a weirdo I hated it!

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

Guess Jon/Dany incest is off the menu boys!

Off the menu? Lmao.

 

[SDBurton]

But it also tells us that Bran is not the Bran we once knew. He is much different now that he is The Three Eyed Raven.

Agreed. He's seen some shit and it probably caused him to be detached from most things.

 

[pestul]

Guess Jon/Dany incest is off the menu boys!

Did you miss that last look she gave him?

 

[Volimar]

This guy with the infinite amount of god mode boats is annoying. How did he take them by suprise again? It was broad daylight.

Why are you assuming he took them by surprise? The battle was likely much longer than it appears, so he could have had time to sail up and attack.



The Unsullied are gonna have a rough time marching across Westeros. I hope they're not too proud to stop and ask directions.

 

[TB14]

I wonder who will take out Euron? Jon Snow? Dany's dragons? That won't have much heft to it.

Reek.
