So glad Theon could survive just to be a big douche bag coward.

Yes, I said before the season started that all you need to do, to convince Dany is have Davos talk with her. I'm happy it's hiiim

I will give them credit, Cersei's speech to the lords made a lot more sense than I would have thought beforehand. Reminded me of Alliser Thorne's explanation of betraying Jon Snow.
It'd be dope if they dived into Euron drinking nightshade and practicing some suspect magic. Right now he's just victarion acting psycho.
Man and that greyworm scene was so fucking dumb, missandei liking that no ball having weirdo is still the crappiest thing on the show. I appreciate it only because nathalie emmanuel is like the most gorgeous girl ever and boobs I guess.

He gets 1,000 points by killing Obara and Nym. Loses points for giving the most maniacally over the top performance in show history.

Good episode. Feel like i got a good idea where the rest of the season is going go. And no i have read no spoilers. Just trailers. Heres my predictions
In the south-
- eoron has essentially neutralized dorne and yara in one fell swoop.
- tarley will take out highgarden neutralizing them.
- unsullied sack casterly rock, where tarley will turn his attention wiping them out.
- all these losses will force Dannys hand into playing hardball bringing the dothraki and dragons into battle, Danny looses a dragon to a ballista but ultimately wins the fight
-she also looses the people trust as a result.
- cercei, about ready to lose everything pulls a mad king and threatens to burn the city so Danny has nothing to rule out of spite
- Jamie kills her as a result. Kills himself afterwards.
- Danny looking at the destruction she has cuased wonders if she has a right to rule and decided to head north to help John.
In the North-
- bran returns home while John is gone and let's sansa know the truth about John.
- little finger finds out and started turning the houses of the North against John.
- sansa feeling the pressure from the houses agrees John has to go.
- when John returns home he faces a coupe and is forced into exile. He heads to eastwatch by the sea with tormund.
- the brotherhood shows up, they tell John about what the have seen and they take a crew North to investigate.
- a fight ensues and casualties are had. John and company are forced to flee.

Seriously, I saw his axe and thought "That's Gorehowl from Warcraft"
He is going to impregnate Baddest Pussy and tie her to the prow of his ship. Oh wait that is *unreleased* book Euron.
Yes. The booby sandsnake still lives.

Except if Mexicans actually are an army of murderous rapists.
I expect DandD to have Dany control the Dothraki because they are simplistic writers, but if this series were more mature the Dothraki would be terrorizing Westeros by the end of the season.

During the Missandei love scene, I couldn't help but think what if Dom and the fam came and helped Dany.

I guess it's my fault for expecting the spoiler to be a joke, and I expected that to happen, but come the fuck on. Some of us skip the preview for a reason, and you could at least say it's a preview spoiler.
Edit: Now people are posting the preview stuff openly. I'm out.

Sea battle was good (though way too reliant on quick cuts to get around none of the actors actually being talented fighters) and seems to have finally purged us of the Sand Snakes, but still no idea where they're going with the Greyjoy plot as a whole. Euron is keeping Yara alive... to bait Theon, maybe? I don't know. But it seems like narratively they have to keep her alive just to give Theon some objective and opportunity to redeem himself, yet again. I still worry that their desire to set up Euron as The Most Evil Ever will lead to some really wretched stuff for Yara, which could turn that whole plot line sour really fast. Alternatively, maybe they set up Yara/Ellaria because we're going to get a nice season of them bonding in prison.
Also, still no signs of Euron's ties to the occult, though the Sand Snake corpses on the prow are at least a little echo of that stuff. (Silence is really nicely intimidating looking, especially with that touch) I feel like bringing that stuff forward would at least make his miracle fleet and getting the drop on Yara feel a little less ridiculous.
Bringing back Hot Pie was nice, but man there really needs to be some payoff to Nymeria later or that scene will just sort of feel like cheap heartstring tugging.
And Sam miraculously curing Jorah by reading some shit in a book is... lame. My biggest hope is that there's some consequences for it, and all of Oldtown dies from greyscale after Sam's sloppy surgery puts the virus out there.
Also, the writers have become way too fond of their little recurring refrains, with the wars to come and kings/queens of the ashes, but it's hard to criticize that given how guilty the source material is of the same crime.

I guess you can say that they didn't have time to poison the blade, seems like something they would do in prep for battle?
The only spoiler etiquette is not to do stuff like
character
Whether you can tell something is a joke is not part of the bargain.
If you're referring to the GIF, it seems you need to watch Season 2 again. Also, where the heck did you think Euron was going to take Ellaria and the sandsnake? Candyland?

A lot of non-bookreaders and I listened to it on audio ppl round these parts.
It's not time to show the Great Other yet.
Can't get more different than having an ending.
Look at you taking joke posts seriously.
Is there a distinctive difference in comprehension between readers and listeners? I've never listened to a book before. The only thing that pops out at me that would make a difference is being able to spell all the weird names correctly or not.
That was good episode until that sex scene, and surprise armada. But, I suppose those are nitpicks. I'm just happy we're getting some somewhat better character moments than last season and whatever the fuck season five was.
Edit: No wait, how could I forget the "foreign invasion" and "mommy" lines. Ugh.

That episode was awful, maybe the worst in the series. Full of fan-service, poor writing, bad direction, clumsy exposition, amateurish editing, and terrible character development. When Jon hands the North to Sansa, and Jaime parlaying with Randall Tarly were good scenes, but otherwise, just bad.
There was some nice acting, as always, from Diana Rigg, but why do they keep cutting to Deaneries for a reaction? Was it because they couldn't cut to Tyrion to see how he was reacting?
Arya hadn't heard that Jon Snow was KotN before then, not even when she was staying with the Freys? comeon/gob.gif. And what did she mean, "No, that's not you?"
The sex scenes were ridiculous. Grey Worm's lip smacking was laughable.
How disappointing how they did Theon, again! Why have him fighting heroically in battle, only to jump overboard in cowardice? Alfie Allen showed the "Reek" emotion well, but it was too sudden and unearned in the scene.
Scene transitions are still too on-the-nose or over-the-top.
I was fine with Sam skinning Jorah, but did he need to be so bad at it?
I'm posting this without reading any reaction. Curious to see if I'm off-base. My wife did not like the episode, either.
And I know this criticism is silly, but it is (mildly) annoying that so many characters dress in black. It would be impossible, and admittedly ridiculous, if people dressed as colorfully as in the novels, but literally the only people who wear black are the Night's Watch.

Man, that scene where Dany decides to summon Jon was not good, and I think the culprit its the subpar dialogue .

I honestly didn't mind the Grey Worm stuff for once. It's refreshing to see POC with speaking roles on the show once and a while.
Also he has a nice ass
