We knew Stannis was coming and killed most of his army, but we couldn't hire a dozen people to slash Daenerys Targaryen's throat when she entered a place we knew she would be landing at.
Good job.

Cersei doesn't like Kevan in either the books or the show. She does (sorta) respect his loyalty to Tywin but only insofar as she thinks that means he'll be loyal to her as Tywin's "real" heir.
My impression is
1. She felt he chose Margery over her
2. She's at least slightly unhinged right now
You have to get the whole kit when you enter the face room. It comes the voice-modulation button. She could make Walder sound like Wun Wun if she had wanted.
Because Cersei is a self-centered narcissist.
I actually liked it, Arya is now Mistique, she is anyone anywhere, its perfect to add some tension to every scene.
Got it, I don't remember but I just thought she mentioned she respected him in the books and I just took it as she looked up to him. I should probably do a re-read at some point.
Do you guys ever think about hypothetical situations? Like if Robb married Margaery, it would be game over, right? I know Catelyn had wished that had happen, but literally, it would have solved everything. I guess Bran wouldn't have had to flee as Prince of Winterfell so we wouldn't have gotten that saga.
Tommen had no choice in marrying Margaery, Cersei put the faith militant in charge, Tommen let Cersei imprison Margaery, and she killed his wife.
Tommen could have had Cersei executed right then and there, but rather than take revenge on his own mother, he chose to end his own life.
What a vicious young man.

Eh. Tension is infused in scenes when the viewer is aware of something the characters in the scene are not. When an imitation is perfect, then neither viewer or characters are aware unless it's implied contextually, but then it ceases to add tension without that context. And without context it's shock, not tension.

Everyone's gone fucking mad, I tell ya'.
It feels weird when one of the most sensible characters in the series is now the motherfucking Hound.

The Hound was always sensible.
He finally had his redemption scene. You know what that usually means.

I liked that the Hound was like 'Of course I get stuck with a band of fire worshippers'
I think so...only one left if I remember.
Well... you are right.
At least the ride will be interesting
True. They just need to stay their hand and not make it into a constant thing, which would kill the effect.

He better. Since he took their money and pretty much forced them to starve to an early death.

how you figure that?

nah I mean, the silver they had could've only made so much of a difference. really i think the most he could've done is said to them "winter is coming so come with us or you'll die here when it's here"
EDIT: sorry for double post
Have you ever watched season 1 Winterfell and looked at the dungeon the Boltons turned it into, or the ruins of Harrenhaal and compared it to when Robb arrived at it?
They even made the throne room look like a different place in Cersei's last scene in season 6.

The dragons sniffed out the castle for food/humans. It was abandoned. At least that's how I took it.

The Hound has always been a logic-driven character honestly
He's probably my favorite character now. He's like Jamie, except he actually managed to cut his ties with the shit that he hates.
Are you saying that somehow Dany has the ability to make her Dragons scout for her intelligently? Well, goddamn, I guess everyone else truly is fucked.

I love how he says: "CUNTS"
Great casting. At first, I didn't like the casting but I've warmed up because of how the actor delivers his lines.

They have to. At least Drogon does. How else would he know to make an entrance at Mereen during the Sons of harpy fight and then when Dany took out the ships. Notice how Dany does not ride the others? She's bonded with Drogon only. And this bond is for life. Drogon can sense what she's feeling and relay that into a command.

i never noticed it actually but i can believe it. i suppose Dany got there seeing how Stannis left it and the next time we see Dragonstone it'll be styled up by her
I suppose. This should mean Dany realistically should be able to wipe out the Lannisters next episode if she really wanted to. Nothing could stop her from doing it. Especially if the Lannister army is so depleted that they supposedly couldn't man Dragonstone in any meaningful way.
Warya knows The Twins better than we ever will.
She's on that Daniel Day-Lewis level method acting.
She physically can't make it North at this point.Arya is going south?
I want her to reunite with sansa and Jon
At least, not alone.She physically can't make it North at this point.
She can face change into a horse.

did Arya forget to free her Uncle Edmure or she just doesn't care about him?

She's gotta finish crossing names off her list.
SargerusBR
I love Pokken!
Which begs the question, how does she not know Jon is in Winterfell and is KotN? Two weeks is more than enough time for the news to spread.
Or maybe she does but she's making vengeance a priority over reuniting with her family.
Tobias Menzies has not been cast for this season.

Unfortunately I can't help but think of Dana Carvey in Master of Disguise every time Arya pulls off a face mask. Also, did she get stilts and a fat suit?
Is Edmure technically the ruler of the twins now?
Solid opening episode overall. Really enjoyed watching it and I'm glad it's back.
He's tremendous. Such a great enactment of the character.

Two seconds is more than enough time for Cersei to understand absolutely everything hat has happened everywhere in the world, and formulate a plan to combat it.
Euron built the hell out of those ships. I guess the quartersalted the timber and spun tracks for sails. I couldn't really understand what he was mumbling last season.

so...his character will be just forgotten about? i thought i read a report that the actor was scene on set or something
that would be a pretty big deal so if it's the case then they would've shown it yeah?
