I agree.
I thought the same thing when Edmure said that.
However, the writers are still dropping hints about Catelyn Stark and the Red Wedding (especially in this episode). As long as they keep hinting at Lady Stoneheart, the dream isn't over.

Lol is Euron gonna be in this fucking show ever again? Two scenes?!

there is joy in sucking dick
If they reveal that Stoneheart is around I'm sure there will be some flashback to the event, and some amazingly contrived reason as to why we haven't seen her up till this point.
He is off being the storm.
Maybe she washed up on the isles of faces and the children stuck an ice shard in her. Lol

I honestly thought the Masters showing up was him beating Theon and Yara there.
Maybe Yara and Theon will beat the master's navy.
Let's hope the masters don't have dogs in those catapults.
I assumed that's where Varys was headed.

What a mess of an episode. I think the worst in the series for me. Nothing made sense at all. Not a single scene.
- what was ultimately Tyrion's story arc and purpose in Mereen? It seems he turned out to be an even shittier ruler than Danny. Wasn't he supposed to be the witty character in the series?
- so Tommen has sided with the Faith but can't force Cersei to talk to the Septon? Didn't Tommen apologize to her mother just a few episodes back?
- Arya's story is just lol. Why all the running, and Lady Crane rescue if she's capable of beating the waif in the dark anyhow? What was the point of the who are you I'm no one x 100000 training we had to endure the past two seasons?
- lollercaust at the whole Riverrun siege. So visually threatening to kill Edmure didn't make the soldiers budge but a voice command does carry weight? I won't even comment on the ridiculousness of the entire Edmure-Jaime exchange or the pointless Brienne intervention

We can only hope. Maybe they all forgot about that mess and decided to stay put.

That was a tragedy. I would have preferred him getting taken out by the Hound, after taking out the entire King's Guard in front of Joffrey. Instead he's killed by glorified bandits.

now we just need stoneheart to show up so the arc can be complete.
"you want a live girl, but you need the dead pussy"
you know d&d wouldn't be able to resist.
Oh yeah I guess. Brings up the young griff storyline, though it doesn't really make sense with the way things are unfolding. maybe dorne uprising without griff.
But still makes no sense that the sandsnakes took over, that makes varys coming in way more messy than just keeping oberyn.
My guess for ep 9: (are we allowes to talk about preview un-spoiler-marked?)
Bran does something to help? Or the white walkers start attacking? I dunno, just seems too straightforward, especially with all they felt like they were able to show in the preview.
I don't mind this show tearing down legends. It would be a pretty boring show if every character just magically lived up to their reputation. What I mind are silly scenes that don't make any sense.
This episode felt like it was written in conjunction with episode 7, but they couldn't make it work so they just crammed all the scenes alongside each other in the hopes that no one would notice.
Like I said, Battle of the Bastards is next week. They can't mess up a huge battle, can they?

Varys is 100% showing up there in ep10 to get them onto Team Dany. This episode completely set that up.

After this episode I don't think the Tully's will ever reclaim Rivverrun, aside from Danny taking the Iron throne and giving it to Edmure for no fucking good reason.
I know the series isn't going to have happy endings abound, but it still bums me out because at least with LSH it felt like there was somebody pushing back.

I hope Ellaria kills him.

Jaime's character might be the exact opposite of the books at this point in the story, but I'm glad they're actually having him act on his motivations in a decisive way now. For a while he was kind of floundering doing nothing and it was a total waste of the actor.
It's not. Let it go people.

What if he assassinates Ellaria in front of her guards and makes himself the new leader of Dorne?
That is also acceptable.
My money is on the Knights of the Vale showing up and being the only army that's not absolutely destroyed from all the fighting. Brienne gets back in time to save Jon and kill Ramsay.
Lol. Only if LF picks up Brienne in his teleporter

That's how I feel, seems like there is massive foreshadowing here, and I have a feeling Sandor's going to be the one she strings up instead of Brienne.
That scene really was the best part of the ep. That and Ninja Dany's return.

If the faceless man arc ends there then it's some of the worst writing I've seen in a while
I think this secret mission of his will be showing up to kill Kevan, Pycelle, and Qyburn... none of which will hold any weight whatsoever.
I feel like it's less likely now with him being back. Either she already came back via Thoros and she just hasn't been shown yet or... well, that's the only option really. Beric can't bring her back with his death. She would be a skeleton by now. lol
Not matter how good the overall episode ends being if they do this which of course they will because reasons I'm going to be so disappointed.

What was the rumor that Cersei had confirmed? I didn't get what that referred to.
And if LSH happens, I suspect she's been with the BWB all this time.

That was my thought until he specifically said that they need allies in Westeros. If his goal is allies, it's gotta be Dorne. I think Qyburn will make the hit against Kevan and Pycelle for Cersei after the Faith gets taken out by the wildfire.
He melts Ramsay's heart with song?
Tyrion telling stupid jokes in Meereen. It's all true. All of it.

Does she have a teleporter?

D&D killed any hope of LSH and Cleganebowl in one episode. Not too bothered about the latter. It's a shame about LSH, though.
I feel like having her would totally counter all this shit going on in the Riverlands. Give us some satisfaction. It's weird that they aren't doing it when they keep throwing shit in that makes it seem like they are setting her up.

Doesn't everyone have a teleporter?
To be fair, Arya and Sam's plots haven't been tied to anyone else's this season, so there're no actual synchronization points (except possibly the arrival of the Iron Isles fleet?).

I wonder if Jamie's army will assist Ramsay now, since they haven't done a damn thing at Riverrun?
Everyone expects KotV to show up for Sansa to save the day, but Jamie could bring his army there and fuck everything up.

Everyone except Robb, who is the only character who really, really could have used one.
There's no one defending King's Landing now.
Does the High Sparrow know there's no one defending King's Landing right now?

No because Boltons had Sansa and Cersei wanted Sansa dead and all.
Now that RR is hilariously over, can we talk about how fucking nonsensical Sansa's plan with Brienne here was? Like did she expect her outlaw uncle to actually be able to help her when he would have Lannisters and Freys literally nipping at his front door? How exactly was he ever going to be in a position to help out the Starks way the hell up North?
What a waste of Blackfish if he's dead dead too. Still holding out hope for salvaging RR if we get a Lady Stoneheart planning and executing Freys and Lannisters in her home later on. This seemed to be where the books were leading to and I hope we get to see this plot confirmed on the show.
