If this isn't a trap to catch LF I would be so disappointed because the plot is so stupid as fuck.
Sansa's reaction after Brienne left is weird. She and Anya are definitely up to something.

Not a good idea to ask stuff like that when there are leaks for everything and there's one episode left.

Westeros' size is so ridiculous that I refuse to believe it.
GRRM never had a handle of measurements, the man was shocked when he first saw the Wall and thought it should be shorter.
But he did say 700 ft.
Should be the size of UK or something.
To be fair, they've hammered home that Bran barely gives a fuck. One of the first things he says to Sansa was recounting the night she was raped and he couldn't even muster up a half hearted goodbye to the person who literally dragged him all around up North.
The drama between Sansa and Arya is dumb but it's not because Bran isn't jumping in to set the record straight.
Maybe he can time travel and then become the Night King.

That's really my real gripe. I can see him fighting the wrights around the dragon but when he starts walking off unto the ice, I felt like Jackie Chan with my hands above my head.

That Tomound fakeout was genuinely WAY too stressful. Tears right before the Hound saved him. He was terrified.
Ice dragon and the convo about Brienne between Tormund and The Hound. Don't really count the latter as too much of a spoiler.

This man put in SO much fucking work with this flaming sword.
Not enough, could have used the flaming sword to melt some ice but no

Yup.
I thought I saw a YouTube thumbnail of Bran and Jon talking titled: Bran tells Jon the truth
But that didn't happen

You think Littlefinger isn't lowkey manipulating Sansa too? Brienne doesn't trust Littlefinger more than Arya and he's trying to send her away? That's kinda shady.

Tormund telling Gendry they have to make do without women was a fucking riot.

Arya's always been a bit creepy...she's more of a person than Bran currently, but one doesn't cruise around with Sandor Clegane, converse with Tywin, be trained by the Faceless Men and come out of that normal. Sansa's life was never going to be hers and Brienne's was probably never in the cards for her either. Shit for all we know Arya doesn't even consider herself Arya anymore.

The whole thing with Arya and Sansa has to be a work. Arya has to have learned by now that Littlefinger is always trying to fuck with you.

I mean, it's not like the ice dragon was that hard to predict:
I see Bran as the anti Night king. They have similar powers, but Bran is working for the other side.

Yeah thats why it didn't surprise me.

Contact with snow seems to specifically cancel out the flames. Let alone the time it would take to melt ice.
Well season 5 and all of the Sand Snake episodes were rough, to say the least. I'd have to go back to the episode you mentioned specifically, but I really did not care much for last week's episode.

Man, I thought that we were going to lose more than we saw.
I guess a dragon trumps it all though, so it evens out.
Btw, did Jorah and the Hound have Dragonglass daggers? Who gave 'em that?

The writing is getting sloppy - the fact that they have less episodes and one season left to wrap things up is causing things to be cut and deus ex machinas to pop up left and right (Benjen anyone?). But, still a fun episode and still a fun show; not gonna complain.
Giving Sansa the Valaryian steel dagger had some significance in my mind, as well as letting her see the faces. Arya let Sansa she what she was capable of, talked about the importance of doing everything for family, then gave her the best weapon in her arsenal. Yeah she was creepy about it, saying how it could be fun to be her, but in that scene it was very clear she *could* have killed Sansa and taken her face, but didn't. It was basically Arya telling Sansa that even for as pissed as she was, she put Sansa first and would protect the family.
Benjen is like a built in deus ex machina, but I can live with it - not like he has much else to do besides tracking anyone who comes north of the wall. Plus he at least go established in S1 and S5 with Bran, so he's not a total out of the blue thing.
Westeros is meant to be the size of Europe though.
Someone on Reddit did the sums earlier in the week after E07 was leaked. Based on the speed that ravens fly and assuming that dragons fly at similar speeds, the gang would have been sat on their island for 4 days. Which was also the time it would take for the ice to thicken enough to support the weight of the army of dead.

Actually considering this, Sansa sending Brienne away does make sense. Hopefully this is the case and Arya magically stops being dumb as a bag of rocks.
He might be, but we don't know yet. Right now it looks like he wanted to use Sansa to get rid of both Arya and Brienne. So she sends Brienne away to avoid that. Of course that then opens her up to a direct attack. Littlefinger plays games inside of other games, so who knows what his final plan will look like.
I get that Arya hasn't shown that kind of prowess; but she's also capable of wearing faces. She could have killed one of LF's pawns at some point to spy on him. LF would have no clue she's capable of that.
I... don't agree that Sansa sent Brenne away to work against LF though. Where did you get that idea?

That doesn't change his plan though. So long as she doesn't catch onto him and keeps on the trajectory she's on it doesn't matter if she wears someone's face while tailing him or not.
Littlefinger's conversation with Sansa had a line to the effect of "If Arya tries to kill you then Brienne would need to intercede to save you due to her vow." Sending Brienne away makes that whole mess avoidable.
Like I said a few pages back, I think Jon was heading to the NK, to end it. He and Baeric had a conversation about just fighting him and getting it over with.
Someone pointed out to me, in this thread (maybe a few days ago?), that they were loading up boxes of dragonglass on the boat before they left. I missed it, but apparently they had dragonglass with them.
Because I think he wanted to take on the nights king.
