We're all talking about how nobody should trust Cersei.
But really, why would Cersei agree to meet with Dany? Lady's got 2 dragons, and she's the daughter of the Mad King. Why would she openly agree to this?
I know she has some kind of screwy plan, but her only option is peace here.

Because she's extremely confident that she'll get another play of the game.
Is peace really an option for her? I don't see Dany wanting to let her live after the hypothetical Northern festivities.
One thing I wonder is why did it take them 8000 years to come back.

Bran isn't the Night King because he is the 3 Eyed Raven. The old man in the tree.
It's the biggest problem I had with this episode. It could have been much improved if Bran had shown some of his potential to the NK and Jon. I'll be pissed if all this comes down to a 1v1 fight between Jon and the NK. I don't hate the episode, but there's so many missed opportunities this season.

I'm assuming they were defeated to tiny numbers. The only way they could "raise" and army of weights is for wildlings north of the wall to die over several generations and then raise them. To build an "army" could take hundreds or thousands of years.

:OOOOOO
Is this Dark Souls 3?
What I just realised: How the hell is season 7 even supposed to end without being one major clusterfuck?
Lannister-stuff is unclear, Jon/Dany-stuff is unclear, what's going on with the Dorne-women in the cell, what about Bran, Littlefinger, Sansa and Arya?
I guess they won't be able to solve this in the next ep.
And if it would be all in the next season that season would be packed..

This episode was Wrath Of The Lich King (world of warcraft).

I think they will meet in peace, and will fight together vs. Death.
Dany is going to be right in the thick of it, Jon will, Jaime will, pretty much everyone will save for a few who aren't fighters. Varys, LF, and Cersei to name a few. She'll sit back while others fight, including her own men. At this point it's to her advantage to make peace and let the others do the killing while she watches from the sidelines.
If it works out for her and Dany dies, then good, if not, then back to square one with smaller armies.

There's no way the meeting goes off peacefully. I can't think of any reason why it should.

What do you mean? Bran wasn't even in this episode.
Yeah, Sophie Turner is terrible.

I think it's pretty obvious at this point that Edmure is going to be sitting on the Iron Throne once everything is finished.
80min and the pace this season is crazy.. I think they're going to resolve a heck of a lot of those storylines tbh.
Question. Where are all the young or adolescent white walkers? White Walker battle school?

Has the show's storyline surpassed the book? Sorry I haven't been paying attention to the fine details.

Read the rest of my post, I say why it's to her advantage that they do.
Peace is Cersei's best option for thinning out her enemies while she does nothing.
Oh, sorry, can't fight...I'm pregnant.

I found this sixth episode rather long and they basically didn't do anything besides catching a zombie and losing a dragon and Thoros ( ;( )..
Yo, the show is bad and D&D should feel bad. I definitely thought this episode was the height of stupidity this season. A lot of people are way too forgiving or they just aren't thinking very critically about what they are watching.
But I keep fucking watching it.

I'm honestly just hoping to see Tyrion redeemed by season's end. For all the seemingly virulent dumbness going around to so many characters on this show, it's a shame to see the master player fall victim to short-sightedness.

I really, really hope Arya is playing LF and has to do this to Sansa because she needs Sansa to act naturally in order to have LF believe.
Arya spent ages as a fucking blind person. Her hearing alone should be so finely attuned that LF shouldn't be able to sneak near her without being aware.
Arya has always been a dumbass meat-head.
I dunno man, I don't think I'd give D&D that much credit.
You'll never see them again, Ellaria
actress post-show interview said she was done and off the show.
We surpassed most book material in Season 5. But book talk is for the other thread.

Feel bad for Sansa, but I wonder if they should have made her more emotionally indifferent. She's been through some shit and it would make her drama with Jon/Arya make much more sense.
Right now she's just pointlessly being played by LF and Arya is being a dick, and she really feels like she's a little scared girl again

How dumb..
Dorne has been poorly received. They were right to kill off that plotline asap this season.

It really is sad to see Sansa's character development regress so fast. Goes from being hardened to the point of seeing LF for exactly what he is, to keeping him as her sole confidant and being played like a clueless little girl.

I still like GoT, but I've found my interest waning. Where I used to be hooked, I now find myself getting easily distracted. The story just isn't as interesting as it was before
No. We're not going to be complaining about how bad everything Dorne was and then complain about ending it. Not much reason to show Ellaria and Tyene anyway, they're as good as dead.
Ellaria was one of the worst characters in the show, anyway. I don't care about her death just get her off my TV.

At the very least Bran should have told Arya and Sansa all the dirty shit LF has done.

Some great moments. I actually thought we were gonna lose Tormund for a minute, Jesus I was on the edge of my seat, when they all jumped on him and started dragging him into the water.
Also Night King be like, tell Bronn this is how you shoot down Dragons.

Check the last few pages of this thread.
On the other hand, it sure made going through all that Dorne bullshit feel like the obnoxious waste of time that it was!

The sheer scale and polish of the production is what actually keeps me hooked when the writing fails. This season, I've just been so constantly impressed at the scale of what we're getting in TV episodes. It blows my mind.
Lol, best part of every monday is watching an amazing GoT episode, raving about it with the GF, having friends message "did you see the last episode!? OMG!" or similar.. then logging onto gaf and see that it was apparently the worst episode ever and this, easily the best thing that's been on TV, is supposedly shit. Never change gaf.
It's 110% obvious that some posters in here are "speculating" with knowledge of leaked material.
They clearly saw the overwhelming positive reception for Oberyn and wanted to expand on that, but it was all handled appallingly.
It's bad writing delivered by bad actors. Most of the good actors are dead and most of the central characters left are either boring or have been reduced to boring roles.
Never change gaf.
source???? ahahha

Sad thing is Indira Varma wasn't the issue. The show could do with more of her (and Diana Rigg) but it's full steam ahead on other storylines.
At least Rigg got a good death.

I don't like them either, but before killing plotlines just kill the people and be done with it.
Everything else feels untold..
