Like yea sure, explaining the three eye crow shit is weird to her and I get that, but that cold stare during the hug. Damn Bran.

When hotpie mentioned Jon, she seemed to get out of her funk
Bran though, I think it's 50/50 if ever gains a normal personality again.

when daenereys said she is the last Targaryen....Damn its painful...when will they finally know
well she might have survived had they listened to her advise instead of going through with Tyrion's complex schemes. Still love him though.
She's going to be more than a bit annoyed when she gets home and discovers Jon went South.
Tyrion plans would probably work if not for the fact his best friend in the universe is Jamie's right hand man these days.

If Heshinsi were a writer on the show, I'm sure that's exactly how it would go. The episode would have ended with the two smooching under a moonlight while riding Drogon bareback.

My favorite part of the episode was Jaime's lesson learned from Rob. That's the stuff that made the early seasons so compelling. It's not just a series of things that happen, there is a cause and effect, a logic and tactic to what people are doing.
I felt surprised for the first time in several seasons.
Good point.

Yeah lots of callbacks to early seasons.

Lol I forgot he has a thing for red heads. Too bad their mortality rate is not too high.
The problem is that this show almost never uses any style in its editing or direction.
Almost the entire series is just either characters talking or big action set pieces.
So when they use a well-worn technique like Tyrion talking over the taking of Casterly Rock, something seems off.
What is the most off-putting is that they crammed the taking of Casterly Rock, the surprise fo the burned ships, the defeat of the Tyrell forces, and Olenna's conversation with Jaime into a period of time so short that it was impossible to appreciate or absorb any of it.
On their own, none of these things was a bad idea. But spread them out over I dunno...a season with 10 episodes?

I'm afraid to google anything Thrones related while the season is going on, but I really want to know where they shot these Dragonstone scenes.
Looked absolutely stunning.

That's like saying Jon couldn't be less interested in having sex with a wildling after they killed his Night's Watch Brother and held him prisoner. It's gonna happen if the moment calls for it.

Jon making it to Dragonstone is nothing new - Catelyn made it from Winterfell to King's Landing over the span of an episode back in Season 1. Euron's fleet (barring some supernatural explanation or something) is definitely an issue, though, especially since they could have had him show up to destroy Dany's ships in an episode or two instead to have it make a bit more sense. I guess we'll see.
Thought the episode was really good overall. Going to miss Olenna a lot, though.

Yea, but Ygritte dude. Dany ain't no Ygritte.

I do think at this pace they could have easily done 2 more 10 episode seasons instead of the shorter ones.
I don't think these seasons are actually shorter because D&D thought it would serve the story better. I think they're just bored / tired of making the series

i actually never tought about this, but if all the starks reunite they have an Assassin (arya) a reborn (jon) and the new three eyed raven (Bran) at winterfell
should make their own superhero movie

That specific wildling is likely the very reason it ain't happening.

So, uh, who is actually defending kings landing?
It seems a bit absurd that the richest house doesnt have a force to fight what looked like a paltry force that needs to storm a fort of that size. Even assuming they cant fight, can the fort not be defended for a few days? You know, send some dragons up the back door?
Something has been off putting for me this season and I cant put my finger on it. It all just seems so forced and happenstance.

I think this could be a fair complaint once the season is over but for all you know some really crazy shit might go down moving forward and these events will be so insignificant that you'd think they spent plenty of time on them.

Yea Jon never came across as a horn dog.

It kind of ruins whatever image the Tyrells being a great house. Their armies were relatively untouched during the previous wars, and Jaime took their castle in one day.
Hey at least Dany will get creepy Uncle Jorah back soon.

Beautiful episode. One of the best we've had in a while.
I just want to say two things:
-Rip Lady O
you went out like a boss.
-The costume and armor design is on point this season. Truly amazing.
-Oh and one more thing. Fuck you Cersei!

Ygritte was great and all, but being real... she wasn't a queen. Jon, being king in the north, needs a proper wife. It's just how the system works. I don't make the rules.
Edit: Plus they made such a big deal about Dany leaving her partner behind as well and then her saying she'll marry for political purposes... it's been foreshadowed to death a million times over. It would be rude to subvert audience expectations like that.

D&D don't give a shit. The inclusion of the dorne story line show they're happy pandering to their audience.

She went out like a chump. The whole conversation played like someone who couldn't take the L gracefully.

Considering how quick characters get offed on this show, maybe Bran should've told Sansa about John's parents. Euron might suddenly teleport behind him from across the map.
And Bronn needs to ditch Jaime and get back with Tyrion.

What do you guys think Danereys next move will be now that she's getting waxed by Cersei? Release her ult on King's Landing?

I assume at some point, Dany will find out about Jon's bloodline and then it totally rethink everything up to this point?

Next episode spoilers
looks like there's going to be a big open battle between dothraki and Lannister soldiers. I bet that that Lannister army has the gold from highgarden and that's what the bank said they were waiting for as it appears they won't fund them unless they pay off some of their debt with that gold. But I think dany and dothraki win that fight and get the loot so Cercei never gets support from the iron bank. But next episode's battle is gonna be sweet. Prob will be best episode so far.

What? They tried adapting Dorne from the books and they failed, that wasn't pandering just poor choices and execution.

Bran has seen some shit or more like he's seen a bunch of shit that will eventually happen right? It did seem weird though.
At this point Arya is going to complete that list of hers isn't she?

Judging by how time passes by in this show, by the time her dragons get to King's Landing, Cersei will have like a thousand ballistas waiting.
So like a boss
