Well they can get to White Harbor with a ship, Davos is a smuggler after all!

Jon and Sansa was good. That stuff with Daenerys at the end was some of the dumbest fucking shit I've seen on this show.
That and the return of Little Finger had me cheering, its to bad a majority of the ep was wasted on boring Mereen/Dany nonsense
I've seen a lot of people say that. What was so dumb about it?
I'm indifferent to the Dany stuff at this point.
I don't think they're taking all the wildlings down there. Maybe Davos will go to White Harbor himself like in the books.
I think they'll all visit the Mormonts though.

Dany didn't even have to be in the building, just bar the doors and set fire from the outside.

But then they wouldn't have Dany Jesus and the other Dothraki would just have zerg rushed them :d

She was all of a sudden Drew Barrymore in Firestarter.
Well I guess Drew Barrymore was a better leader since she could create her own fire and didn't need an exceptionally flammable building to get her point across.
They needed to see her nude in the fire to really appreciate the power/majesty and devote themselves to her.

Well for the first time in 5 years (Since the last book) Dany did something which they've got going for them.

If you rewatch the scene you'll notice that the khal who captured her and a few others move in towards her before she throws the second lamp down. But by the time the second lamp goes down she's standing in the flames and they're fucked without weapons due to their religious laws. I don't know if you've been near an intense fire or not but the heat alone coming off flames like that just burns the fuck out of your lungs. You physically can't do anything but try to get away from it.
And I'm not sure why some others are complainimg that her coup was poor planned. Dany's gambled before. She gambled by giving Drogon away in Astapor and it paid off. And she did the same thing here. I mean, I guess people can continue to complain about plot armor but the saga is called "A Song of Ice and Fire", if you're complainimg about plot threads related to Dany or Jon Snow you bought a ticket to the wrong show.
Jon & Sansa reuniting was great after so many teases of the Starks just missing each other. Nice story arc considering they really disliked each other growing up but now appreciate family given they've matured after all they've went through.
Unless Martin ends up writing 4-5 more books, he's going to have to play it fairly straight too.

Well, my thoughts:
- Sansa and Jon was nice to see, bastardbowl confirmed
- Never been very fond of the Vale, but I'm up for anything that sets things in motion
- I liked the Tyrion stuff. Yeah you can argue about the unfairness of the situation for the slaves, but I saw it as a realpolitik move that seemed reasonable
- I thought Dany was going to be boring as usual, glad to be proved wrong (what happened to never naked again?)
- Obviously my opinion, but I hate the High Sparrow's daily sermon
- Looks like shit is about to go down in King's Landing
- Thank god they showed Ramsay being evil, I almost forgot he was
- No Tower of Joy

I dig callbacks, but as the moment happened I felt incredulous. Busy watching Silicon Valley and Veep, so haven't really had time to think about it, but I think the problem is that the moment doesn't particularly seems earned. It's a hastily put together plan that just works.

It actually would be pretty interesting if Cersei tries to make peace with the Tyrells and it coming crashing down after Varys kills Kevan.
Great episode, whole season has been great. Some really potent scenes - Sansa and Jon, Cersei and Tommen, Tyrion and the slavers, Theon and Yara, the return of Littlefinger.
Ending worked for me, even as a callback it was a gangster power move and Dany's path is slowly coming back into focus.

Pretty sure the shot of Daario and Jorah standing in shadows and smiling knowingly was supposed to show that they doused the temple with oil or something before the meeting. How none of the khals managed to notice oil all over the place is another question, but at least they tried.

Honesty I'm just glad we didn't spend another 4 episodes doing the Jorah and Dario rescue show. The scene wasn't perfect but it quickly moves Dany where she needs to go and I will happily embrace anything that moves her arc along. I'm happy with what they did.

As expected, the North remains the best part of the show, while Dany remains the worse regular (Dorne not included).

Sick and fucking tired of Ramsay and D & D need to have him kill lots of people with no or little consequence. I mean did they really have to kill her? Jesus.
Jon seeing and hugging Sansa was very nice.
Great episode though, way better then the last three. Excluding jon snows rerect.

It looked like they did to her what they did to Cersei last season.Well, my thoughts:

Sansa and Robin are first cousins so that's probably out. Considering that and that Ned Stark grew up in the vale. I doubt the lords of the vale would need much encouragement to fight Ramsey for Sansa. Remember Robin and Sansa bonded when she was alayne. If he found out who she was he'd be more then happy to help.
Also technically Sansa might have a claim to casterly rock as Tyrions wife.
She confirmed with EW that it was natural.
It's all Emilia Clarke. There's an interview from today after the episode airs that she did saying it's all her.
When Qyburn kills Kevan we'll know he was never working for Cercei.

I'm hoping that ending was part of some sort of con but knowing the show they're probably going to double down on that "fire immunity" that she's not supposed to have outside the pyre event.
That's fine. Supernatural stuff happens all the time. Why can't she be fireproof?

I feel that now we're "off book" people feel even more emboldened to complain about the show as if it's fact that the books are better than the show. The reality is, they are two different mediums and moreso, several people have read the books and created this visual and audio reality in their minds for what it should be like. Funnily enough, that reality is wholly different depending on the person. So essentially, no matter what direction the show takes, at some point(s) it won't live up to the expectations of someone. I believe at this point we should keep that in mind when watching the show and actually immerse ourselves in it rather than being critical observers.
Anyways, I've found every episode this feels very short. That's usually the case when a show is very good and keeps you wanting more. We are almost halfway done though and it seems like there are so many plots moving full steam ahead thatIm curious how it will ultimately play out. Favorite moments from tonight's episode were the Jon and Sansa reunion, Dany from the flames part dues, Tormund being a creeper with Brienne.
Regarding the mereen stuff, for some reason it seems like Missandei is going to do something stupid and screw everything up. We shall see.

Nothing. People just like to complain here. People complaining about why wouldn't one of the Khals not just run over and try to body slam her... They have so many more immediate concerns at that point.
One time magical event haaaaaah. I'm ok with it, because we didn't have to watch Daario & Jorah waste their time or have Drogon swoop in again.
They need to speed up the High Sparrow stuff a bit. zzz
Ramsay killing off yet another person. Shocker. At least Osha tried I guess. :/
Bastardbowl though.. get hype! Also, Tormund is bae.

I would've preferred Drogon appearing at the last minute and roasting the house instead of Dany flipping over some candelights.
What is the point of bringing back Natalie Tena for about a minute of screentime in two episodes? They should have just had Umber mention in the Rickon reveal that they had killed his wildling protector. Ramsay is so fucking stale.
Liked the episode a lot though, Sansa glo'd up.

It's a Cersei created plan; of course it's doomed to failure. She's just playing into the High Sparrow's hands
I hated how they did the nude fire Dany thing again, just shut up and move on let the guys rescue you. Bored of the need to save every city I walk through
The show takes so many shortcuts. I'm glad they're taking the time to establish who he is and what he wants. I'm proud of their patience.
And have her be a damsel again?
I find their new design to be really over the top and just plain ugly to be honest. They don't even look like children anymore.
