oh yeah, that is pretty big
from the people who thought that having littlefinger marry off his most valuable asset to be raped by a psychopath was beautiful poetry

It's not Robert's hammer, he made it himself. He chose a hammer in effort to feel closer to his father.

I assume he forged his own hammer, being a blacksmith and all that jazz. Also, I have a lot of issues with this episode, but I like that Gendry, without question, was ready to go fight some shit. He truly is his father's son.
Gilly: "Huh, fascinating, this historical account I've been reading indicates that the Maester who authored it performed an annulment of someone named Rhaegar's marriage, in secret, so that he could legally wed this Ly--"
Samwell: "SHUT UP, YOU DUMB WHORE. I HATE SCHOOL AND I HATE BOOKS. WE'RE LEAVING."
That Rhaegar and Lyanna were married.
The three stooges saw it in the flames they were meant to go north of the wall.
Gendry is dumb.
Tormund knows the north better than all of them!
Jon is dumb.
Jorah is dumb.
Thank you!
Yes, I figured it was generally confirmed that Rhaegar was the father. What I didn't put together was that the annulment and re-marriage makes Jon trueborn, for whatever that's fucking worth at this point.
And thanks for reminding me of everyone's purpose. But why is the Hound giving a shit about the Lord of Light right now again? I can't remember why he took up with the Brotherhood at all.
edit- Oh, right, he saw shit in the flames.
God damn, I'm forgetting a lot from week to week.

Samwell made me swoon. Such a bad bad Maester.
He cures terminal diseases like it's eating porridge. He follows no rules.

That he's not a bastard. We knew he was Rhaegar's son, but now we know he married Lyanna, making Jon legitimate.
Means Dany needs to bend the fucking knee.

yeah, i know it is sort of contrived as shit, but i fucking need this team-up goddamnit

The Gendry stuff is potentially the fanboyest bit of fanboyism I've seen in a TV show. This character doesn't matter on any level whatsoever. Zero reason to bring him back, and to have him fight against the White Walkers in a leadership position no less. All the others are legit warriors. Gendry gave Arya the hots once. It's such shameless pandering to the fans it's hard to believe.
Then again this is the same episode that dug up a miniscule plot element from the first season to manufacture drama in Winterfell. I would've preferred Arya to go with the Seven Bastards. Would be more useful than Gendry.

The perfect scene, it was great.

I love Pokken!
Elia Martell just existed to get shit on I guess.
All of the Martells, really.
I like how Sam's plotline amounted to absolutely nothing.
Didn't Mormont send an undead hand to Kings Landing and no one gave a shit?
Though i guess this time Jamie will ensure it gets to Cersei's eyes.

Good episode. I hate that they're going to make Jon and Dany bang, but I guess that was inevitable. Getting really sick of Littlefinger.
But now he has the random book that shows Jon is legitimate.

well he planted a seed in the masters' head and stole some scroll key items
Bringing a Zombie will surely change things no? Maybe not for her, but I'm pretty sure Jaime will start seeing things in different light, if he isnt already with the dragons.
Eh, given Arya's development over the series I'm not sure having a heart to heart sit down with someone you perceive as a threat is something she'd do.
Meanwhile, Bran is "not Bran", he appears to be extremely cold and uncaring about anyone/anything that isn't the Night King at this point.
He also saved Jorah, I guess.
But that plotline was a giant nothing too. All it did was send Jorah away for a few episodes and... thats it.
Like, it didn't matter at all.
Unless Sam fucked up and Danny is going to die of greyscale now.

I thought the episode was good. Not amazing like last week, but good. I see the flaws people are mentioning that it feels rushed. But at this point we could wrap up the story in another hour if D&D wanted, and follow feature film pacing.
The story has been set up for 6 seasons now. Not all threads need to be resolved. I have doubted the show before after a slow start or an episode that dives in quality. Every time the show has proved me wrong. The pacing is deliberate and I'm expecting spectacular 2 last episodes for this season.

Chaos is a ladder says otherwise. Bran, as the actor has said in some interviews, is basically living in 4D, moving through time as if it was a physical dimension. He's living everywhere, and seeing everything.

Bitches love smiley faces
Jon's playing that 4D chess all along.
He has Bran's memories. But the Bran he was before is, unfortunately, gone.
It's not that nobody gave a shit, it's that it was delivered by Alliser Thorne and Tyrion didn't like him at all so he made him wait (weeks? I can't remember) before even meeting with him. By that time there was almost nothing left of the hand.
Thats pretty ironic then.

Yeah, sure. But he knows about Petyr and his bs.

They knew dany and jon were going to bang at the beginning, why else would they cast two super short people, kit and emilia are so out of place in terms of height. With maisy and sophy they couldnt know cause they were too young
Also jon needs to die as soon as dany is pregos with the stallion who mounts the world, im sick of his stupid plot armour.

No, fuck that, even worse. The meeting should have ended with a pan out showing a Raven watching, then a cut back to Bran sending Brienne and Pod to Eastwatch, or them just revealed when Jon arrived. She has Valyrian steel for fucks sake, definitely more useful than Gendry or Bron.
Sam discovered the dragonglass deposit on Dragonstone that Jon abandoned Winterfell to get.

I just want Littlefinger to die. It's holding back the show. Nobody cares about him anymore.
Nothing? Eh. In the 8 or so episodes that Sam got to the reach he
1. He found proof that Jon is a legitimate Targ. A megaton.
2. Got a Valerian steel sword that he is bringing back to the north. Someone is going to wield it.
3. Cured Jorah, who will do something.
Edit: 4th, and the dragonglass pit that convinced Jon to head to Dragonstone.
That's pretty efficient when you consider Sam made it to his fathers place in the middle of season 6.

at first i was hyped because he was finally doing something again
then i found out what his plan actually was :/
It's lucky for Tyrion that the Night King is like Moses wandering in the fucking desert.

So how does Dany and Drogon not see Bronn drag/swim Jaime down the river?
I mean, it's just stupid, right? The first 5 minutes just seemed like something a kid would say to another kid, why their character wasn't killed, when playing something like cowboys and Indians or cops and burglars.

Yeah, I can see now, when the things are settled, Daenerys, or whoever supposed to be leader of the Seven Kingdoms (there is still a chance that Dany could die) will appoint Gendry as lord of Storm's End and Samwell as lord of Highgarden. I wonder who will get other Banner houses, Riverrun, Vale and Dorne are still lord-less.
In book, probably Aegon will be the King and of the Seven Kingdoms, Jon will be Lord of the North and land beyond the Wall, Edmure will have Riverrun, Arianne will have Dorne, Theon will have Iron Islands, Samwell will have Highgarden. I'm still not sure about Stormlands and Vale. Seaworths could be a good candidate for Stormlands for books, but there is no better candidate for Vale than Sansa.
