Soooooo... pretty fucking good episode. Not sure how Arya managed to like, not hear anything about Winterfell but I'm not looking to make an issue of it.

Sooo what did she say when the direwolf peaced out? That wasnt nymeria?

How does qyburn go from resurrecting the mountain to "omg lets build big crossbows to counter the dragons"?

Missandei's body is a 34/34.

Anyone else think Jons days are numbered?

when Ned was talking to Arya back in season 1 about how she'd be a princess or Lady or whatever the fuck, she was all, "That's not me." She knew that wasn't her path. When she met her direwolf again, she was all "Come with me!" Wolf was all, 'That's not me.' Except direwolves don't talk, so Arya had to say it. The wolf has its own life now. Wouldn;t be shocked to see it again, tho.

^^good stuff. The way the scene unfolded was obv to me but i assumed nymeria was all "bitch remember those rocks you threw at me? GL."

Ive become an awful viewer without reading material.

WTF THEON???

Thinking more about it, i think jon is our hero, however far that takes him. Im calling some botched attempt on his life en route to dragonstone by LF that heavily complicates shit in the north, mainly between himself and sansa obv.

I'd say it's a mortal lock that direwolf turns up to save the day before this series is out.

Remember the line about not leaving any wolves alive.

So at what point did the writers get together and decide ripping off The Hobbit was a good idea?

i kinda loved genuinely being unsure if that wolf was going to tear arya's face off or not.

also i seriously just remembered that ghost is still alive as well. wtf.

That in a nutshell is why this show is great. Surely the wolf won't kill her. I mean right? Surely. Fuck, maybe, this is GOT. Run Arya! Fuck, NO. Oh, whew, wow

Solid episode...killed off a few extra characters that no one gave a fuck about anyway.

I found it funny that they had my two favorite/best main actors on the show spend half their time this episode darting glances just for the camera.

LITTLEFINGER ON THE THRONE AT THE END ONE TIME. TID

Also, 2 eps in.....still no Bran....nor (IIRC) was he featured much in trailers. Soooooooo he plays heavily in the endgame methinks.

I almost wonder if the end will take it back to where it started.....all Starks/Jon

oh shit yeah i already forgot about that scene. had to go rewatch.

Still...I could see it playing out this way. Most the main characters die while fighting for control of the seven kingdoms, meanwhile its the Starks who actually save the kingdom from the white walkers.....between Bran and his warging, Arya maybe becoming a wolf queen, and Sansa as the Queen....with Jon fighting and Samwell helping out with info.

Sounds crazy, but obv its not a show that doesnt mind killing off its top-billed performers. Plus it seems like a fairytale ending. Except for poor Rickon, who couldn't duck and weave.

i think nymeria showed up to demonstrate that arya is well and truly no longer whoever she was. arya walked away from old arya, for better or worse, and nymeria turning its back on arya was meant to really demonstrate that a) innocence is over and b) there are costs to her choices that she hasnt even begun to comprehend.

and the more i consider it, the more i expect arya is not long for that world. she doesnt fit in anyplace. shes a profoundly damaged teenager with godlike power over life and death, thats maybe not a great energy on the chessboard at this point. oh and her sister, also a profoundly damaged teenager, is the queen of the north for the time being. gotta wonder how well those two are going to get on when sansa pulls rank on her.

and shout out to some good old GoT bedshitting...: sorry but dont all the sand snakes have poison on their knives and shit? because im pretty sure they cut euron greyjoy like half a dozen times, no? and hes doing great? oh and momma sandsnake spent an entire fight cowering behind her daughter?

if they end up handed over to cersei, (obviously this is the plan at bar), without poisoning themselves, thats going to be bedshittasaurus rex.

still loved this ep compared to the season opener but those sorts of inconsistencies are really taking the sting off this shit ending in 14 hours or whatever.

edit: quote from writers..;

“Arya’s not domesticated and it makes total sense her wolf wouldn’t be either. Once the wolf walks away, at first she’s heartbroken to have come this close. Then she realizes the wolf is doing exactly what she would do if she were that wolf.”

i mean, i get it, but its not entirely convincing to me that somehow, that whole scene was a self contained moment. its got to play out against the larger arya arc somehow, either priming us for arya possibly going insane or arya having a 'you cant walk through the same river twice' moment and lone-wolfing the fuck away from winterfell, possibly without even walking through the front door.

I wanted to come with some sandsnake nittery but that whole scene was so absurd yet entertaining that im trying not to even think about it short of lets get rid of the rest of the dornish characters because theyre a waste of screentime.

Lets not forget how theyve completely fucked up how awesome the unsullied are by giving greyworm feelings. IF GRRM watched the show i would think hed be pissed off about that

i literally reached for the remote control when she walked into greyworms room and only stopped myself because there is only so much left.

greyworm getting croaked now seems like a forgone conclusion, because formulae. i resent being put in a position where im going to be surprised if something obviously and hacky doesnt happen.

I agree with everyone on the overall quality of this episode. I liked it a lot, even with the few issues mentioned here.

I feel like King's Landing is going to be boring this year. Cersei being Cersei and Jaime side eyeing her speeches is going to get old quick. I feel like these have been the least interesting scenes so far and I expect it to continue.

If they were going to keep a sand snake, at least they kept the cute one, so there's that.

cute theory going around that somehow, this whole show is actually based on an in-world book(books?) sam writes after the facts.

eg the last scene is someone closing the cover of tarlys book and being all 'and thats how king jon snow and queen dany saved the realm, good night kids.'

That brings us to a scene between Archmaester Ebrose and Sam in the Citadel library from this week’s episode, “Stormborn.” The two are gathering books for research on the tome Archmaester Ebrose is writing. Sam begins the scene holding five books (the same number George R.R. Martin has completed).

Archmaester Ebrose then throws a sixth book on top as he begins lecturing Sam.

“If you’re going to write histories, Tarly, you have to do the research,” Archmaester Ebrose says. “If you want people to read your histories, you need a bit of style. I’m not writing The Chronicles of the Wars Following the Death of King Robert I so it can sit on a shelf unread.”
Sam doesn’t respond. “What?” Archmaester Ebrose asks. “You don’t like the title? What would you call it then?”
“Possibly something a bit more … poetic,” Sam replies. He then changes the topic to address an experimental treatment for Jorah’s greyscale and is quickly denied. By the time the scene ends, Sam has eight books in his hands (the number many fans expect A Song of Ice and Fire to be if it’s ever completed).

That all seems to make sense. Although, if Sam is meant to be the in-show representation of GRRM, they should kill him off before he finishes his writings.

Less talking.

More violence and nudity.

Best fucking body on the show.

A couple threw a birthday for their 1 year old, the theme was game of thrones, they crowned their one year old as "the king of the north". Is it me or is the mom trying to subliminally say something??

GRRM gave up any right to bitch when he didn't finish the books

So Aries basically has tons of bastard kids, sounds like a targaryan will be on the throne.

The case can be made that Aerys and Joanna Lannister might well be Tyrion's parents.

The only thing worse then getting caught in a government conspiracy wormhole on youtube is getting caught in a game of thrones conspiracy wormhole, jesus christ do these nerds get detailed.

Im aware of that single speculation, but tons were referenced.

So the sea next to the wall freezes and the white walkers just walk around the wall.....interesting.

If i see a midget on a dragon i will lose my shit lol, it really will be game of meh.

I like watching the show, it's become an interesting allegory to how our world works, rich elite factions always squabbling for power and ofcourse us peons are just fodder for their agenda.

Oh and ofcourse, don't forget about the bankers that finance all sides of the conflict and always get their due.........oh how boring real life is to some people.

tyrian is a targaryan by a lot of theories hence the dragons having a certain affinity for him. so yeah it could well come to pass.
