You’re right, of course. My being uncomfortable with seeing a character I’ve watched since she was a child flash her goods is obviously what’s wrong with the world today.

The starts are an ancient family whose been around for millenia. Yes, most of the bodies are just skeletons, but we’ve seen skeleton wights.

Major props to Sophie Turner in this episode, she’s really the closest we’re gonna get to Lady Stoneheart and I’m all for it. I’m really happy they’re showing just how much she’s learned from her stay in King’s Landing, and even happier that she didn’t for a second let Jon’s aunt’s spiel make her lower her guard.

There must have been a little money left in the budget so they added him in post production.  

I’m a woman and I had the same reaction. Her character is introduced as a child, so it’s weird to see her as an adult in the show doing sexual things.

I’m just imagining them raising everyone who died in the battle of the bastards, and all the other people who have died along their way. The dead vastly outnumber the living so the story only works if there’s a time limit. Then again, I think your “as the plot requires” explanation is probably more accurate than…

And as we all know from real history, if a person’s is disqualified from being king somehow, the fact his son still carries his blood is never used by some faction later on as justification for why they should get to control the throne now...

It’s funny because I thought Alfie Allen was pretty bad in John Wick, but in GoT he just knocks it out of the park every time. His dialogue scene with Jon in S7 was a strong point and in general he’s very good at conveying the tortured soul of Theon in subtle, yet potent ways.

I kinda hope the Night King reveals himself to Bran in the next episode and is easily killed by Theon. Then the army of the dead is immediately destroyed. The rest of the episode is everyone being disappointed standing around Winterfell.

You forget everybody in the crypts. Could they have telegraphed that coming disaster any clearer?

Gregor did kill Elia’s children, he admitted so during the trial by combat.

No, but in the event Winterfell falls (and everyone seems to acknowledge it probably will) those people would be a lot better off on the Kingsroad headed south than stuck in an underground chamber that as far as we know only has the one entrance.

The dialogue has trended downhill for several seasons now. One of my measures of this is a game I play called, “Can I say the next line before the character does.”

Can I just point out, every time I read these headlines it makes me think of a newspaper headline:

The absolute gall to use two of the final 6 episodes to simply let our favorite characters chill at Winterfell — and to somehow turn out one of the show’s finest hours in the process. I was worried that the buildup to the Night Attack would crumble in the face of the attack itself. Now, the entire narrative is better…

Didn’t help that Grey Worm just bought a new wagon named Live-4-Ever.

Never been a big fan of Dany, though I’ve rooted for her at times (mainly in the first season when it was her vs Viserys). Lately though I really, really dislike her. She’s just an entitled spoiled power-hungry brat, much like Joffrey but in a way even worse because at least with him no one was under the illusion that…

“Hey that ice demon guy who can raise the dead and set them against us is coming. What should we do?”

Ghost is getting smaller. By the end of the season he’ll be a Bichon Frise.

The important thing is, we got like 10 seconds of Ghost.
