I give Theon a lot of shit, because fuck Theon, but this is still a guy who was tortured and tormented physically and emotionally for three seasons. It would be very disappointing if all those scars healed magically.

Bran has seem some shit.
Especially since he's not completely in control of his powers yet. Imagine walking in on your parents and not being able to end the vision.
Dude was in character even during the photoshoot that's dedication.
Hm, possibly, or could this be Cersei's reaction to hearing about the failed attempt to kill him with the assassin? This is weeks after Bran fell, Cersei's reaction seems somewhat immediate, and Jamie doesn't say anything that contradicts the possibility he was the one who sent the assassin. He seems to basically be saying 'well we tried to kill him, didn't work, but whatever, we'll work it out'. That could either be in reference to Jamie's initial attempt, or both of them.
Also, unrelated, but Bran's actor was actually pretty good when he was a kid. I wonder if he has actually gotten worse, or if people are just having a negative reaction because he is being directed to act the way he does now. Sophie Turner, likewise, was a lot less flat playing a petulant melodramatic teenager - but this could just be that 'bad' acting suited Sansa's character more then than it does now. Maisie Williams on the other hand seems to have made the transition pretty well.
Next week:
Dany: "Missandei, I got your message. Where are you? And why are there so many candles in this room... Oh Jon, what are you doing here?"
Jon: "No idea. Davos asked me to meet him."
*Door slams shut and locks, followed by muffled giggling*
That'd be a pretty terrible message to send, honestly.

lol yeah I was thinking the same thing
Maybe he's just the real 3-eyed raven and all of his scenes are from a documentary
Rickon though. Lol.

I don't even get the point of Rickon's character like why did he even exist he practically had zero screen time and no character development for his character whatsoever despite being one of the Stark children. I'm just baffled.
The nite whoo halp Jaym fite drakins
Yeah, seems like a waste, and they all but retconned his existence; even Catelyn gets more posthumous love than the youngest Stark.
Yeah, I wonder too lol. Look at those smiles Artisan, what do you think?

i hope so. he regrets everything and wants a second chance. just like the hound
After a 4th (yes 4th) rewatching, I am still so impressed by the shot at the end when Jaime is charging at Dany and Drogon, both because it's visually breathtaking and because "holy shit this is actually happening and this is where we are now in this series."
Now that all the players are on the same stage, I think we are going to get so much more of that. I mean, Arya sparring with Brienne? Jon and Theon?
All the encounters that seemed so far away when everyone was scattered are finally happening. It's amazing.
I was having trouble about 50 mins ago. Had to exit out and reload the page.

Bran is channeling the Vietnam cupcake dog.
Bran or the actor, I can't tell anymore.

Cersei is reacting to the news Bran woke up. Her and Jaime were playing 'wait & see' hoping he'd succumb to his injuries. Only after he wakes do they consider other options. Neither are coming from a place of already trying to have him killed.

When the show started they were following books that are no longer coming out.

It was foreshadowed from the beginning with his wolf's name.

I think there were just too many characters to deal with. It was already hard enough dealing with the rest of the stark children and after he was separated from Bran there wasn't much for him to do.

I really like Theon's character personally. He need to have an amazing exit like Hodor to complete his character arc.
Weren't those smiles on account of their conversation about Grey-worm? I don't think they even knew Jon was there yet.
Even when he was a with Bran there wasn't much for him to do though. I mean the kid was 6 years old had just lost his father and was ripped away from his childhood home it would have been nice if we had a few scenes with Bran and Rickon comforting each other especially since they were the only two Starks together in the first half of the series.
It's just a whole big wasted potential. Rickon might as well have never even existed because the show sure did treat him as such right up until his death.
So how's Yara faring as Euron's prisoner for what must be weeks if not a solid month of imprisonment?
No, I cut that gif. They're talking about Grey Worm, and then Jon says "your grace" off camera. Which is where the gif starts. They look down at him, and then the camera cuts to them look at each other and smile.

I thought it was more of a "Speaking of which..." smile between the two of them.
I think it would've been better if rickon traveled with them to the cave and then sacrifices himself to get Bran out.
That honestly would have had more narrative importance then the shock value death that he got.
I think he'll somehow find a way to take out Euron, but it'll be a suicide mission.
It seems weird to me that Euron would keep Yara alive. At least, I assume she's still alive since she wasn't given an on-screen death. The only explanation I can think of is that he wants to taunt Theon and draw him out of hiding so he can kill the siblings together.

So did Dany propose marriage to Jon? Is that what she meant about calling him her King?
What? How did you even get to that conclusion? And no she didn't propose she told him to toss away his pride and just bend the knee already.

This looks like it was taken 2 years before they even started filming season 1.

pretty sure she smiled because she was talking about her scissor session with Grey Worm to Dany...

he kinda reminds me of the Weeknd because he's so known for his hair - even though Weeknd cut his
Jon Snow's hair has its own contract
OK, yeah just watched it.
They are already smiling becuase of the hints at her hooking up with Grey worm; they were interupted.. rather than cotinue the conversation she gives her one last smile.
I don't get how anyone can assume that was meant to be because of Jon.

If I were Jon I wouldn't fuck anyone who A. Ever had sex with Daario Naharis. B. Gave birth to a dragon bat demon baby thing.
The Forreal One True King can do better. Maybe track Meera down and get himself a proper Northern Queen. Sam's sister is available too.

wet blanket shit?
whether or not Jon x Dany happens that scene was relevant because eventually we're gonna need Dany up north. It's that up north that up top
"A certain Ser says you took a knife to the heart...?"
It will be glorious indeed but only because it's ASOIAF and only because they're (the last 2) Targaryens.and won't it be glorious when Jon discovers Dany is his aunty
Her eyes kinda bugged out at first when he put his hand on her wrist.Yeah, I wonder too lol. Look at those smiles Artisan, what do you think?

But also if you notice, he kinda backs up both times she walks towards him.

FUCK no! I still ship Meera & Bran, no matter how much of a vegetable Bran tries to be.
the forreal one king cannot do better because Dany is the best

You know, if they ever decided to do a Chester Bennington biographical film, Kit would be perfect.

any Davos fans out there? I wish this character got the same exposition that Tyrion gets. But the actor I think is not part of the main cast but the supporting cast which probably means he automatically has less lines and screentime.
But for however long he is there, I wish we could see him & Jon talk more. Just like how he and Stannis talked. Jon is younger and way less psycho than Stannis, and now that Davos is with him he should lighten up, which he has.
Davos loved Stannis, is he gonna love Jon too? With the tragic loss of his son, could Davos be a father to Jon for the winter war?
