Has the only depicted sex this season been eunuch sex? Jaime and Cersei banged, but we didn't see any of it. Ellaria and Yara almost got stuck in a Myrish swamp, but they were interrupted.

Man, every time I see that White Walker put his arm out when aiming the javelin, the only thing I can think of is:
Edit: preview speculation
Tyrion dies
I'm not even on the "He's wrong 100% of the time" train, but he's way past being useful at this point. He's definitely been wrong about pretty much everything in Westeros, he did the stupid succession conversation, there's no third dragon for him to ride, Cersei isn't gonna let him leave alive, her killing him after both sides promised peace is like the last remotely reasonable shot the show has at turning Jamie against Cersei, etc. And *mild shock* Jorah survived so now the coin has to go the other way.
Given that there's every reason for it to happen, I have absolute confidence that it won't happen.

You should see the look of disappointment on my face every time we get the MA rating descriptions before the show begins. Graphic violence, Adult Language, and other things. Missing the most important thing of all

hey man whatever floats your boat
Watched the episode.
Usually stupid stuff happening in shows isn't something I notice or care too much about but jesus fuck this episode was kinda full of it and first time I *really* thought the show went to shlocksville. I mean it was always kinda trashy fun but this one in particular was bad.

with all the boring material he's gotten ä dinklage has been understandably checking out this season
you're right it's probably for the better to kill him

Pretty sure preview talk needs tags
Which yeah, I don't really get, but them's the rules.
Nah, Tyrion will survive and after Jaime kills Cersei to prevent her from destroying King's Landing (or letting the White Walkers win the war out of spite) Tyrion will be the one to convince Dany to spare Jaime's life as a reward. That will be Tyrion's big oratory moment and the conclusion of the arc of the Lannister siblings, as Dany is really, really going to want to burn Jaime alive. Jaime will retire to Casterly Rock with Brienne as lord of his diminished, defeated house and Tyrion will remain as hand of the king or queen depending on which of Dany or Jon sits the throne.
It's also obvious what's going to happen next episode - (mild preview spoilers)
"Cersei there's all kinds of shit that will wipe everyone out in the north and middle of Westeros."
"Oh that's terrible, you mean Winterfell and the king in the north and all of his armies will be destroyed?"
"Yes."
"And Daenerys has lost a dragon and may lose more if she has to keep fighting them without my help?"
"Yes."
"How ghastly. Well, good luck!"

Brienne about to guilt trip Jamie isn't she when Cersei says fuck everyone else.
She probably asks "Does it hurt?" every time just to mess with him.
We'll have to wait and see how much of a shitshow the final season becomes, since I actually enjoyed Lost's S5 haha.

What do the main characters even hope to get out of Cersei? She doesn't seem to have much of an army, so... Euron's navy? Some conscript old men and child soldiers? Just an agreement to stay in KL and not obstruct things?

Arya sounded like a twit. You think her experience would have changed her somewhat but she fell right into the bratty little sister role quickly.
I remember enjoying it, I don't remember anything else about it, except for the season finale, which was pretty cool.
Sellswords from Essos? Stop trying to make sense of this shit.
She's the badass we all deserve. Sansa has just been nasty af this season and needed to be ✔️'d

I enjoy it but the story line is so dumb. Ibwould have enjoyed if when she got back or an episode later they saw through little finger and then were arguing between each other or something.

I'm almost positive Arya is playing Sansa. She's playing the truth game by scaring her. She gives her the dagger at the end to tell her basically "I'm on your side, don't fuck up"

The callback to the truth game is to make the viewer realize that she saw through Littlefinger's stupid plot in minutes
I fucking wish
I don't even care anymore. The showrunners are hedging all of this on the finale where we'll probably see that 2 teenage girls and a teenaged crippled boy outsmarted LF, finally. But I'm at the point where I hate that they wasted all of this time in WF on an F-level plot with serious shit going down elsewhere.
People go on and on about how much the story HAS to suffer because we're now at endgame and there's no time to plan out a sensible story, but here we are in WF wasting precious scenes on this garbage plot and wasting these actors' talents.
Fuck all of this.

Given that GoT is partly based on actual events in British wars, my prediction is that next season (and even in the books) we'll have a big battle against the undead where either the Lanister army or some mercenary force line up for battle then just shake their heads and ride off when called to enter the fray.
There is absolutely no way that Season 8 or the last book* are humans vs. undead. The only question is about how Cersei betrays whatever peace deal they attempt next episode.
I mean, her whole philosophy is that you win the game of thrones or die, no middle ground.
That's one reason why I dislike the whole peace deal plan. It's so obvious that it will fail soi there's no tension, unlike most of the big clashes where it's feasible that either side could win.
*because even being optimistic, Winds of Winter is the last book he'll ever write *snap*

I just really can't get over sending a raven to Dragon Stone while the magnificent 7 fucking wait on a rock. I mean, it's just so ridiculous that it can't be defended. Even on the inside the episode, D&D said something like "How were we gonna do this? Well them trapped on a rock on thin ice would be somewhat believable"
Not only is Dragon Stone incredibly far away, Dany has never been to Westeros ever! She flew ALL THE FUCKING WAY there on her dragons? How did she navigate? How did she know where to go. How did she find them beyond the wall? That's a pretty epic journey in itself, flying across almost the entire continent of Westeros on Dragon for the first time? But no we skip that entire thing because we need "OMG DEUS EX MACHINA DRAGONS SHOWIN UP" Just ugh on that all around.
It would have been much better to have Bran get involved here. Have Bran be the one to warg into a raven or something and contact Dany somehow. I don't know, but Bran should have been used here. Would have made it way better.

legit. third-best season probably (1>2>5>3>4>6)
Dragons are really fast dude, like faster than an F22, and can see for hundreds of miles around them with infrared eyeballs.

I'm beginning to get the sense that the script outlines were written for 10 episodes, and they were suddenly told that they'd get 7 at most for the budget they wanted.
No more so than the "I drink and I know things" one from last year.
His big twist in the books will be "Stannis the mantis wins it all. Thanks and bye"
I pretty certain it's an act to checkmate Littlefinger.

Arya is definitely killing Littlefinger, steals his face and commands the Eyrie troops to march to the Wall
