It's definitely up there. This and last week were sublime.

I must admit I had MUCH higher hopes for Euron this season lol.
Season has been up and down for me like for a lot of people, but the beginning until To men's suicide is the best thing I've seen in all six seasons. I didn't think they would top last week's battle but the entire sequence was just incredible.
The rest of the episode was also very good but damn that intro.
Westeros seems like a slim dunk for Dany now though. If she has the Tyrells and Dorne on her side there isn't really much opposition although I suppose the real battle is going to be Dany v The Others.

Next season. They introduced him, and now he's currently building a fleet of ships. Surely by s07e01 they'll be ready to sail.

Yea.... I thought it might happen tonightThe dream is over. Lady Stoneheart is never coming.

I love Pokken!
I mean, even IF Jamie is still up to fighting for her, which is a big if at this point, that army thats left is pretty miserable looking after 6 seasons of constant battling, houses dying off and disappearing and now the freaking Morgul green flame going off killing I don't know how many. I wouldn't be surprised if the show opens next season with a mass exodus of people getting the fuck out of Kings Landing.
The framing of the shots in this last episode was masterful. Tommen's window, Sansa and Jon on the ramparts, Theon with the kraken banner, Cersei on the throne... Absolutely marvelous. And the magnificent score just carried them to even greater heights (loved The Rains of Castamere leitmotif making its return).
Truly a great episode -- easily the best in several seasons.
(Oh, and how creepy was Arya stalking Jaime?)

Yeah, at least he's not a total fuckup. Worst KG member ever still. Hope he writes that down in the white book when he gets the chance before murdering his crazy ass sister.
Brain fart. Couldn't place it. I've watched the show, but only the first 2 series and that was looooong ago.

I wonder what happens to her in the book. Something anti-climatic I bet.

Oh shit you're right.
Yeah a 10/10 just doesn't do it justice haha. This is TV at its finest.

Fantastic episode all around. Most of what I'd say has already been said and I don't have much time tonight, so I'll just say:
As thrilled as I was to see Frey pies show up, it was incredibly hamfisted in the show and lost all the subtlety that made it such a great little detail in the book.

Don't get your hope up for nothing. The man just said that he writes 3 chapters in 6 months. If it's going to be around 70 chapters like ADWD we'll be waiting a looong time.

Yeah, Arya was the nail in that coffin.
On the other hand... she IS LSH now.

He then followed up on that and said he was joking.
She could be the one to swap her life for Jon's in the book.
It would actually be a tonne of redemption for Catelyn's character to do so depending on how you feel about resurrection.
After all, she was the main fault for Jon's life being quite miserable at home.
Don't be mean.

Thank god. Maybe ten atleast?

The only question i have is did Tommen knew? Or he legit just did not want to go to the trial?

Real talk: If TWOW isn't out by next year, I'll take that to mean that GRRM has given up writing (at least without help) and is waiting until the show ends to announce it.
Yeah I keep forgetting she was a much bigger bitch to him in the books.
But how is she gonna get from Riverlands to the Wall fast enough?. No teleportation in the books...

This would be quite powerful when considering Beric refers to Thoros as his mother for giving him life again.
Catelyn would become Jon's mother.
Good episode.
R+L does in fact equal J.
LOVED seeing Sam in Oldtown!
Jaime's characterization might finally be back on track.
Varys got to take Doran's line. A fair trade for Qyburn taking his.
Seeing Dany in Targaryan garb was cool.
You go, Psycho Arya! <3
However.....
I'm not too excited about "KING IN THE NORTH!". It doesn't help that Jon was incredibly uninspiring this year. And now he's got Littlefinger against him. He's doomed unless he magically gets an IQ boost now that D&D's Wonderboy Bolton is out of the picture.
Wyman Manderly was a huge disappointment but not that surprising.

He wanted to go and was about to head there but The Mountain stood in his way.

Zombie Mountain kept him from going to the trial so he wouldn't be blown up, not like it mattered anyway, since he jumped out a window.

Yes, I finally gave up and poured out some liquor for her ;_; Would have been amazing but Arya reaping the Riverlands is almost as good. I wonder when she and the Hound will team up?
Did I miss the part in Braavos when she learned to change faces?

Well he was getting suited up for the trial so no he didn't know.
He was on his way but was stopped.

I can't imagine it was too hard for her, it seems like they are basically just masks. She used a face to kill Maryn Trant, so she already knew how to use them at this point.

Fucking amazing episode. My favorite in years. So much goodness, so much payoff. AAAAAHHH. Just like the Jack Bender episodes, the second by Sapochnik contained the real plot/character payoffs.
I liked that the R+L=J bit was enough to tip their hand to book readers, but not necessarily enough for show-only watchers unless they're astute.
I'm loving Cersei and Dany's evil queen outfits.
Where is Melisandre going? I'm guessing Dany will encounter Euron on the open sea? Where will Sandor end up?

Man I just rewatched the intro and it's still one of the best scenes I've seen on television. I have so many problems with the show at times but it's highs are higher than almost anything else. This is going to win so many Emmys and will actually deserve it unlike last year.

It wasn't enough to fucking kill Hodor, aka the guy nobody can hate. He'll also allow all of the zombies through the fucking wall.

This was the best episode ever. Really. I thought last weeks was the best hour on tv. I was oh so wrong. So very very wrong.
ya looked like he was well aware some shit was gonna go down because of his mum when mountain stood in his way too
Also, was the implication that The Mountain was going to rape Sept. Unella for time to come?

Don't forget Bran, he'll probably go south of the wall towards Winterfell.

The Oldtown shots of the Citadel library and the Hightower was pretty amazing. Cool to finally see that.

Also as much crap as show used to get they haven't killed Pod with the Huge Rod, so it's superior in that regard.
