Nah. It was appropriate. Dany isn't an idiot. Varys tried to have her killed.

People that says this episode was bad must be the same people that says Hodor episode is the best of the series. Can't trust them. (or they just started watching this season).

lol I need this reunion to happen.
Well I guess sorta a book spoiler, but there's a line in there about it being everything. I don't know if the show has ever been explicit about it. Regardless if it's twig and berries or just the berries, he wouldn't be able to do much for her with his equipment.
RE: Littlefinger - Sansa's been pretty clear about Littlefinger, and Jon does trust her in the end. He probably knows LF pawned her off on Ramsay, so he certainly has no love for him. Sansa and him were never close, but she's still his sister (well, cousin...).
General timeline thoughts - all told seems like this episode probably covered just a few weeks tops. Ravens would take a few days to get between Dragonstone and Winterfell. We don't know where Euron's ambush was, but I'd guess at least a few days minimum out of Dragonstone, though there might be a bit of a plot hole in that he needs to sail right past Dragonstone to get back to King's Landing, and Dany's fleet should be blockading that whole part... Most everything else in this episode was just conversation that could have been taken place at any point in those few weeks.

Being Jorah is suffering. Got carved into like a burnt smoked ham.
"Arya and the Hound" and "Arya and Tywin" were some of the best the show has had to offer
Would love to see her reunite with Clegane

Couldn't Arya just send a Raven to Jon now? Or to Sansa so she can let Arya know that Jon left and where he's going? Surely there's a Raven service around there. I mean they're basically magic anyway.
Also Hot Pie has it bad for Arya. Poor guy. His reaction when she touched his shoulder.

He chilling in King's Landing still, settled down with a wife I believe. Just coastin'

Yeah he was definitely having some PTSD flashbacks so I can't really blame him for running. But I still hold out hope he will overcome his problems and rescue Yara. Or become a skilled ruler if Yara is dusted.

To the showrunners' credit, all three are different from each other.

lmao. That would certainly be something.
So, like... I don't understand how Yara and Theon got so screwed there. I mean for one, they have the better ships. Even Euron said that. And for two, how shit are they that they're sailing in such a formation that Euron can hit the most important goddamned ship without any freaking warning at all? That's like painfully bad.
Bronn may end up saving bad pussy I'm thinking.

That's not how soap operas work.
He wasn't lying when he was the best in the world.
Euron is the best sailor there is.

I'm skimming and trying to stay relatively unspoiled:
Was it a good episode?

As those Lannister soldiers noted, common folk can't just get ravens. The ravens are basically molded after messenger pigeons, and basically just fly to one place so there's only so many available. She'd be south of the Twins right now, and no one will believe she's Arya Stark anyways. Jon or Sansa would probably be the only two that could actually confirm her identity.

Euron does have a dope ass ship for sure
Shit writing from D and D.
I see the seeds of betrayal being planted. Sansa's going to love being in charge. She ain't gonna be ready to step aside when Jon gets back, and Littlefinger gonna be whispering in her ear "go on get that power you deserve it Queen!" Then BAM! BETRAYAL.
I think that is too obvious and they are setting up some plot development that shows that Jon isn't like his "father" and post revival Jon is much more like a Targaryen. I think the confrontation with Littlefinger was to show how he has changed and was foreshadowing some of the new darkness in him. In that case this Sansa stuff is a bit of a red herring.
Either that and/or the twist will be that Sansa really is much more like Cersei than Littlefinger calculated and has him killed.
I'd give it a 7/10
GO WATCH IT!!!!

I think it was - there's only one big action event, rest is mostly more buildup and board setting, but I felt it all worked well.
Yeah the only explanation is whatever Valyrian voodoo he's got. And that shit needs to get explained. The man is way too OP right now.

Euron did the Sand Snakes dirty. Hung from and skewered on the ram.
It's like twenty good men. Poetry. It rhymes. etc.

No gif of the Theon jump?
Euron brings a crazy bad energy to the show that's fun much better than Joffery or Ramsay to me at least.
And the last persons to threaten Jon are now beheaded and hanged.
