Need to save some conversation for after supper when they're having dessert I guess.

Yeah love how awkward it was at the beginning and how they point out how they're literal strangers.
The last conversation with them in this ep was great and showed they need to get to know one another.
I think their intent was to show how different Bran has become since he's taken the mantle of the Three Eyed Raven. Like, he must've seen some crazy shit, shit that we may not even be aware of. Hell can't he see into the future? So he may even know what the endgame will be when everything is said and done. lol

I think Bran kills him.
Earlier in the episode LF is all "you need to see everything at once and you'll never be surprised".
Then 10 mins later Bran shows up and probably knows he tried to have him killed.
Im sure there'll be a mini arc of Bran realizing that hes a stark before the 3 eyed raven and get some of his personality back.

Don't really like the idea of Bran knowing everything...

Yup, they absolutely nailed it I think.
And Tyrion and Davos had great little contributions as well during it.
Loved how it was done.

Melisandre believes she can see the future. That scene was there to foreshadow both of them being killed (if you believe her. Her track record on predictions is pretty mixed)

Is it me or does the Lannister/Tarly army look a lot bigger then Dany's all of a sudden?

Surely you weren't paying attention when watching.
Bran said he has only seen fragments. You think he's seen every single bit of history, every location, every person, everywhere, at all points in time. How ridiculous is that?
To me it sounded like she knows when and where they'll each die.

Bran knows every god damn thing.

Yeah that was a great touch.
I'm so glad Jon held strong since now Dany has no real choice.
Olenna died in a way that suited her character at least. It's nice knowing that these Lannister victories won't last this time around. We've been conditioned to wait for the payoff anyway knowing justice doesn't come quickly in GoT, if at all.

Killing Little Finger is tricky because it could get the Knight's of the Vale to desert Sansa. They would've have to kill him in a way that could never be tied back to Sansa or the Starks.
But if he's seen all that, he's also seen the effect it had on her yet he still mentioned it. It was handled poorly in my opinion. It's not like Sansa hasn't had many shitty moments to pull from. I was ok with him hinting at it, but saying she looked beautiful in a white dress just made it super creepy.
he was castrated by a red priest IIRC
that's why varys was hostile. the rest was pretty straightforward. she didn't want to see jon because he banished her
in season 5 it was because she was pregnant. Also she probably doesn't want to do it.

They gotta nerf Euron, I really hope he isn't the one to take down a dragon.
That would be too much and I already am suspending my belief with him.

Varys and the Rhyllor just don't have a good relationship (on account of the making him a eunuch thing). He just doesn't get to be his clever self when dealing with those priests and priestesses. He thinks he's got a little victory in Melisandre rightly deciding she's better off out of Dragonstone, but the Red God can't ever let anything slide with him specifically.

Loved the episode. One of my top 20 of Thrones probably.

Well since bran can literally control him I think theyll figure something out.
I dont think the Vale likes LF very much either.
He's the new Ramsay - except he is at least a little bit more believable considering he isn't murdering his own allies left and right. Can't stand him already. I hope that Theon survives all of this like the little cockroach he is. Alfie Allen has consistently been one of the best actors on this show.

Would be hilarious if when Cersei gives the Iron Bank all that gold, they say it's not enough and they'll be supporting the Dragon Queen.

Yea that's my major gripe with that scene. Surely there were far better examples he could have used.

Are there any prominent characters apart of the Vale minus that weird kid and LF?
This show has gone down the gutter so bad, it's trying so hard to be a summer blockbuster now. The Casterly Rock scene..seriously wth. Compare Jon and Dany's conversation to this:

I'm thinking Littlefinger kills Bran.

Yea, god forbid they write anyone other than Jon and Dany as a dominating warrior/force.
The Greyjoys have needed this. They're supposed to be miles ahead of everyone else at the sea but before this season we've only seen them as whiny incompetent fucks who want to take everything but can actually take nothing.

Yeah man he's basically a Deus Ex machina for Cersei and her war efforts. I mean it needs to get toned down, he can't always be there to successful bail her out on every front he enters, that shit doesn't jive with our expectations from the show.

Yeah well, there are only two seasons left, counting this one. Not to mention that they are both shorter than a regular season of the show. I do feel like stuff that would probably be big moments in previous seasons are getting drastically cut. Hopefully that's just due to them saving a good portion of the budget for the last few episodes.
No reason why Bran had to see that particular fragment. GoTs Rape fetish is pretty gross and this was just another example of the show going there despite having no real reason.

Down the gutter is definitely extreme but the dialogue has suffered since they ran out of direct book material it seems.

They'll have to throwout him not being able to burn though, because he Definitely yelled in pain when he grabbed that fire lantern to kill that First WW at castle black. It'll be interesting how they do it though, and who will believe it..

Feels like everyone except the Lannisters are trading for lightweight armor now.

Euron is too OP. He wiped out Grey Joys and now Unsullied lol. Next he will Wipe out the dragons and Dany. Cersei will take out Jon and North. Then WhiteWalker destroy everyone in Westoros. GoT2 is about Pentos defending against WhiteWalker lol.

The show always has to have "that villain" who smashes the main characters. Now that Joffery and Ramsay are gone they've got Euron filling said role.
Next season it'll be the Night King
But yeah Euron is easily the most OP bad guy in the show so far. He's damn near invincible

Hell if I had armor as badass looking as the Lannisters I wouldn't change it either.
