I wonder if a green seer warged into that human sacrifice they made a thousand years ago which turned the guy into the nights king.
The spiral corpses that the white walkers made are exactly the same as the ones that Jon and Dany saw on the cave

The Children of the Forest created the White Walkers, so it comes to no surprise they're using similar imagery.
I sense his imminent demise at the hands of Arya, using the dagger he gave Bran. He has no purpose at this point, KotV will follow Royce, Starks are not going to be manipulated, even Sansa knows what he is and doesn't need him anymore.
I agree with others that he deserves more, having started this whole shit-show in the first place, but they are rushing to the end now.
Same, she is going for some kind of uber self assured personality but comes over like she has asperger's.

Thought it was a great episode, with characters being reunited and Dany going full on Warrior Queen.
Its not a documentary or a real life drame, so its okay for the writers and producers to use artistic license when they want to if they think it progresses the story.
Why is she wearing that?
How can they get there so quickly?
Why did the Dragon destroy everything apart from the big crossbow?
I mean come one, lol.

Fuck that ending. I'm not sure what the consensus is, did Jaime survive? I surely hope so. i was rooting for his side at this fight, even if the battle seemed pretty much one sided. I really hate that about current Dany, even if she lost two battles before. Also, I love Bronn, I wanted him to slay the dragon, too bad.
Neat episode, the battle at the end was good. Tyrion proves once again he's really one of the most sane characters on that world.
Edit: Also, fuck Arya. I hate what she's become. Brienne deserved better.

That was a beautiful shot war scene. Maybe American Gods could learn how to balance plot and visual
Really great episode. I enjoyed Starks finally reuniting, and there are scenes that would have drag in the book but show sped it up.
I really thought one of the dragon will die. Also Jaimie is not dead because what is the point of all the rescuing scene for

She stole one of Euron's airships.

correct about everything
i like how bronn got out bronned by the dothraki who cut the leg under his horse. if bronn had died that way it would have been a good end for him, but then he turned into action hero man.
varys and qyburn have to be the two most incompetent masters of whisperers westeros has seen. varys has no idea about lannisters sailing and marching around the continent, and now qyburn had no idea dany loaded a massive army with horses, landed them somewhere near king's landing, and then marched them to meet the lannister army. and do these people not use scouts? pretty sure you're supposed to know an enemy army approaches before you hear their horses. not like the dothraki are subtle.
also, why is no one in winterfell sending jon a raven to inform him his dead siblings are popping in for a visit? are they waiting to see if maybe robb is coming too? i guess it would not be DRAMATIC enough.

LAUGHTREY
Modesty becomes a woman
??? So is Brienne? Wearing a sword as a lady is already enough of a faux pas, she's recognizing another "lady" who doesn't want to sew dresses and play the delicate flower. Brienne acts perfectly proper towards Sansa.
I rewatched the episode early this morning
Man, this show ain't perfect, but after the rewatch all I could think was "people are going to miss this when it's gone"
What incredible spectacle, and what a journey it has been
Every Sunday night is an event, and regardless of shortcomings in the writing or execution, there has never been anything quite like this on television.
GOT is fantastic entertainment

really fun episode. all characterization and writing for dialogue is just in the toilet now though, now moreso than ever.
its a strange situation because I'm finally getting what I was waiting so long for with the plot progression and milestones like Daenerys touching down on Westeros and fighting the Lannisters...but man it feels like there are no characters in here any more. its all just empty fanservice. whatever little nuance this show had went straight out the window the more Benioff and Weiss had to rely on their own basura writing.
...it hooked me though with that battle lol. just keep giving us more of stuff like that and Super Saiyan Arya duels.

That's what I thought.
Also of Cersi were smart she would poison those scorpion arrows.
It was the first time Brienne spoke to Arya, I would've like a little more than "nice sword".
What poison would work on a huge dragon tho?
I'm sure Qyburn can find something in his bag of tricks.
Greyscale so Sam is only one to cure dragons due to Jorah saying he knows a guy
I will allow it!
"Why did you run little ******* when I tried to rescue you from the hound?"
This is sadly true which is why I'm not expecting any intricate plot twists or shock deaths now. You'd think they could've roped GRRM in to write some key parts of the concluding seasons. The action spectacle and existing characters are now carrying this, but Tyrion has been reduced to quipping about how he likes to drink and little else. The character as we knew him ended in season 4. And the deaths have been a lot less imaginative, especially in the case of Roose Bolton. Another issue is the dwindling cast, which makes the world feel a lot smaller than it did in S1-4. Finally, the pacing is all over the place
I'm sure this isn't the last time this series will be adapted to screen in our lifetimes, but for all it's faults it's still at least incredible entertaining version.

Yup, I was hoping Brienne made the list after seemingly killing the Hound. Should have stuck her with the pointy end.
"Here Drogon bite down on this."
You forgot Arya left him there "seemingly to die"
The point of Arya leaving the Hound was that she didn't feel sorry for him due to all the horrible things he did.

Maybe not, killing Brienne would still bring justice though.

She's always been the villain
The poison called plot. It's the most deadly there is.
I can accept people switching their brains off and being impressed by the battle but the episode preceding it was meh no matter what the climax was.
EDIT: Also I JUST realised that if Drogon had just burnt the whole line of Lannisters like he did the food the battle wouldn't even have needed the dothraki and they could've used the food for their armies.

Dude Shredder Mountain is going to fight his brother and the turtles at same time but fall off a wall into a dragons mouth

I have just caught up with this episode, the battle was excellent! On the upside, judging by the speed to army marching speed this series now have, the entire Westeros has the chance to rally to the North in time.
Davos couldn't stop hitting on Missandei is endlessly amusing.

Wouldn't that kill the dragon? Clegane looks like he could cause som indegestion.
I assumed it was Dickon who tackled Jaime.

Yeah, Infinitely Wise Dany just had her dragon blast a ton of supplies into ash lol. One step forward, ten steps back. It's been her strategy since the beginning.

It was Bronn, he looked at a riderless horse before Jaime's charge. Would have liked it to be Dickon
I suppose based on that it still could be? We assume it was Bronn but it turns out old Mr funny name is an alright bloke after all?

It definitely was Bronn

You know, I could see Cersei fake-agreeing to help everyone out at the Wall, just to finish her enemies off amidst battle with White Walkers. With zombie Mountain heading her hit squad.

I thought that was him also for a second, but I think it was just another bald guy ripping his helmet off as he burned.
It was a bald man but I don't think it was him.
We didn't see him after the start of the battle.

Pretty sure it was Littlefinger showing up in the nick of time.
The only question is why? He must have a deeper reason for saving Jaime.
For Littlefinger, being in the path of Drogon's fireball is safer than being at Winterfell.
