Are we forgetting season 5, episode 7.

 

This guy knows what's up.

 

One thing I remembered.

Why hasn't Jon sent a raven to the Wall to tell Edd to BLOCK THE FUCKING TUNNEL. LIKE I GET IT, BRAN NEEDED TO GET THROUGH BUT THE ZOMBIES ARE COMING PACK THAT SHIT FULL OF ICE.

 

It is my understanding that the Wall is a magical as well as physical barrier with respect to the Others.

 

It definitely is. Similar to how, for a while at least, the spooky skeletons couldn't get to where Bran was having his flashback/training montage. I think the physical structure is mostly just to deal with things like Wildlings and Giants, while giving a tactical advantage against the Others. Pure speculation but I don't think they'd even be capable of walking through an open gate. That's why the idea of the Horn of Winter bringing down the wall is important, because otherwise it seems like the magic there can't be penetrated.

 

You must be dickless too.

 

You know I just realized something. Since everyone has been blinking/teleporting instantly around the map to meet up with people and do stuff, it'll probably take John to arrive Dragonstone 3-4 episodes at least.

 

Pretty sure the teaser for the next episode showed the meeting.

 

I really liked episode 2, does anyone else think that after what happened with Nymeria, Arya is going to head back south?

 

Hadn't occurred. Why do you think that might happen?

 

The lack of visible battle is frustrating AF. Like, I understand why. But to tell us two battles happened and not show much of them at all is getting old.

The Jon/Dany meeting was about what I had expected. Tyrion was back to being somewhat enjoyable in his scenes with Jon.

Cersei's revenge was the highlight of the episode for me, with Olenna's coming in second. Next episode actually looks like it may be somewhat intriguing.

 

Finally, a satisfying episode in this season.

I like that Jon didn't take shit from Dany. And boy but it had me eyerolling when she had all her "titles" recited and Jon was just like "I'm Jon Snow". What was it Tywin said once? A king who has to tell everyone he's king is no true king at all. I would be very okay with Dany turning villain. I would also be okay with her pulling her head out of her ass. There were glimpses of a more likeable Dany, when she talked about her faith in herself and in her last scene with Jon. Tyrion finally had some enjoyable banter.

I can't be the only one who noticed the parallel between Littlefinger telling Sansa to play 4D chess and then Bran telling her he can. I mean, it was plainly obvious.

Ser Friendzone is back!

I have no problem with skipping the battles. If there is going to be a big battle episode this season, I'd rather they throw the budget at something more interesting than two castle sieges (something we've already seen on GoT).

Three out of seven episodes of the season have aired. My prediction is the season will end with Night King arriving at the Wall and destroying it with some magic voodoo and S8 will be the war against White Walkers and whoever's left will take the Iron Throne in series finale. I'm not sure if the Cersei situation will be resolved this season, but I sure would like that. I imagine a falling out between her and Jamie when he tells her Olenna killed Joffrey and she will still insist it was Tyrion.

We got a tiny glimpse of Bronn. I hope for his reunion with Tyrion at some point. Last observation, the Lannister army gave me a strong Roman legion vibe in that wide shot from Highgarden.

I ship Jon/Dany. Make it happen plz.

Spoiler

EDIT: Saw the trailer for E4. Dany is losing, apparently, which is some bullshit because what did she send all of the Unsullied to the Rock? Euron is just gonna steamroll an elite legion? Plus she still has her half-naked rape-happy cavalry. Arya will arrive at Winterfell. Bronn and Jamie were in some desert-like place, which must be Dorne because I can't see a reason for them to go to Essos. Then again, neither do I see a reason for them to go to Dorne, both it and Tyrells are pretty much done.

 

Euron's teleporting magic navy of DOOM is really annoying me. It feels like Cersei has everything go well for her just so the show has a big villain. I just get no sense of time in the later seasons. When where they attacking casterly rock, while Dany and jon where talking before, after? I have no idea.

 

Overall liked the episode, especially Tyrion's battle narration and Jamie's scenes at Highgarden. However, I do feel that there's too much going Cersei's way, specifically with Euron's navy. I think it's a safe assumption that the Unsullied and the Greyjoys left at roughly the same time, yet somehow Euron was able to ambush the Greyjoys, return to King's Landing to parade his prisoners, and make it in time to destroy the Unsullied's ships before they finish taking a poorly defended Casterly Rock when they had a way to bypass the walls?

Seems like a bit much.

 

Dany's insistence that she was born to rule Westeros and the list of all of her titles reminds me a lot of Joffrey.

Really hoping Jon hops onto a dragon next week. At some point they are gonna have to find out Jon is a Targ.

 

So I liked the episode don't get me wrong, Olenna throwing shade with her last moments was fantastic but am I the only one getting sick of Daenrys? For someone who grew up the way she did, her arrogance is just breathtaking. She keep rambling about how the Iron Throne is hers by right and everyone should bend the knee but what is her right? All she can claim is that she's the daughter of a fucking lunatic. I can't stand Cersei but I honestly hope she kills at least one of her dragons with that super crossbow just to knock her down a peg or two.

 

I loved that Olenna got in that final "Haha fuck you" moment, even with her imminent death looming.

Best char in Thrones hands down.

 

Meeting between Jon and Dany went mostly as expected, but didn't disappoint. As usually Davos straight to the point approach wins with his "This is Jon Snow". A nice surprise was Tyrion finally being Tyrion. All it did take was for him to realize he will never brood as well as Jon does.

 

That is the only real right - inheritance. Even Robert claimed the throne on he basis of Targaryen blood, flimsy though his claim was.
