Dany's storyline has been the worst. This season has shown very little of Arya and Tyrion so far

Just starting to watch this now
The dragons are really shining this season

Didn't that already happen?
Hmm you are right, maybe this is a public shaming.

The Greyjoys? Who are they? The show has basically forgotten about them at this point. Hell, Balon is just going to bide his time and win the Iron Throne cause everyone forgot about the Greyjoys.
It looks like
during his trial.
Is Theon's sister even part of the show anymore?
She's busy running away from stray dogs in the country side.

Haha...Sansa
"This isn't a strange place. This is my home. It's the people that are strange."
lol

He'll probably infect the hell out of Meereen anyway.
With her acting, who would notice?
Better than bloody diarrhea.
I was a little confused about something.
Isn't feeding someone to your dragons one of those "one step too far" situations? I expected Dany to start killing everyone, but then she went back to compromising.
You can't come back from dragons eating innocent people.
Oh, and sorry House Targaryen lovers. Dany is definitely the endgame villain of the show.

We need to do a counter of episodes until Dany says "Burn them all. Burn them in their houses and in their beds."

Stannis's reasoning for Shireen and the queen marching with him makes a lot of sense.
Could be Manderly and his gang, but I bet they cut the major part from these scenes as well...

Episode 9.
Shireen in daylight - that greyscale looks magnificently done
We all want Stannis to win the Battle of WInterfell. Which almost guarantees that he will lose.
Let him win one battle before dying

I didn't like the Sansa/Bolton dinner scene much. Felt like too much of a reprise of Sansa just getting tormented by other people and being helpless to do anything about it. I was hoping we'd see her playing them.

So show really is going to show no Varys until Ep 10?
It was more about the Roose-Ramsay relationship. Really have no idea how this is going to play out which for a show based on the book is a rare treat.

I dunno. Roose did use the giant board game map thing. Everyone who uses that seems to lose.
She'll just give a big fuck you to Meereen and burn them all when she decides to leave. But she'll never leave so I we don't have to worry about that.
Only two minor things I didn't like about this episode.
1. That Jorah actually sailed through Valyria and the Smoking Sea. They could have had him sail near anywhere else along the way and still do the Stone Men plot but I think the show really just needed to drop some backstory for Valyria and thus kill two birds with one stone. It's forgivable since show is show, book are books, but it still sorta shocks me since we all know that NO ONE sails through Valyria unless you are a certain Crow Eyed Greyjoy and even that hasn't been substantiated.
2. No mention of Egg during the Kill the Boy speech. He was already mentioned before by Aemon all those seasons back and it would be like two additional lines to add point to what he was telling Jon Snow. Again, SUPER minor but I still would have liked him to mention that he gave that same advice to Egg so that Jon knows he's speaking from experience.
Besides that the episode was pretty good and we now are getting a much fuller picture at what this steamlined GoT experieince will look like.

She can't possibly be killing Stannis and rescuing Sansa in the same season.

She won't rescue Sansa.
Theon will eventually tell Sansa and Bran and Rickon are alive. Sansa will send Brienne to get them. Another new oath if you may.
I at least still want to believe that Stannis doesn't die. But maybe Brienne kills him on the way to get Bran/Rickon coming across Stannis's army stuck due to snow.

Eventually he will be. duh.
NO! I refuse to accept any situation where Brienne kills Stannis even though it would be so poetic as to tempt D&D. Please, for the love of the Old Gods, the New Gods, R'hllor, and the Seven, if Stannis must die let it not be at the hands of Brienne.
EDIT:
Moving past Stannis, do we still think that Jorah and Tyrion will get kidnapped by slavers?

Look at this fool who doesn't realize that Jorah is Euron.
lol @ Greyjoy gif
Sucks they've been forgotten, I've liked the actor they chose as Balon, and wished for more scenes, even if they had progressed that storyline far passed the bridge moment.
Also kind of feel this Bolton Babby storyline will end with Ramsey killing off Dad, Walda and baby, followed by Stannis showing up and winning Winterfell by anticlimatic default.
If this all ends with the Boltons winning over Stannis and Sansa tortured to death, mark me down for "The show ends with the snowy apocalypse" ending.

Synopses spoilers:
One of the lines for next week's logline is "Jorah and Tyrion run into slavers"
It all makes sense now. And people thought they dropped the Greyjoy plot when it's been staring us in the face the whole time. Just wait, Jorah will meet Moqorro who will cure his hand so we can get Vicatarion in him as well.
I actually would consider that better, Stannis is the Bolton's enemy so they have every right to slay him. Also, they're the villains of the story. Brienne is just salty that the One True King beat his pretender/traitor brother, I won't allow her to stop the one man trying to save the Kingdom. If she does that then I'd be done with her character and would basically consider her a villain.

Does that greyscale disease kill you or just drive you insane or something? Those guys infected with it seemed, well, alive at least.
Also, how long does Jorah have?

I don't think Stannis makes it to Winterfell. He probably fights some *cough* Ironborn *cough*, picks up Theon's sister and has a battle/siege next season.
I think Shireen and Gilly have had more screentime than Arya.
