This...one of my friends told me JJ was his least favorite (until Iron Fist came out) - at the time I got so flustered I disrupted our other coworkers railing at him for his poor life choices.

Well, shit.

I could totally see Cersei using this meeting as a way to destroy her enemies once and for all. If that happens, I would love to see the look on Cersei’s face when they walk out of the flames unharmed.

WHY didn’t Sansa send Arya south instead of Brienne?! Two or three birds, one stone. No, let’s keep them together to out-angst each other, because Jon has not been holding up his end of the angst lately, lolol.

::shudder::

I hope to the gods you didn’t have to clean bedpans for weeks. I DO hope you stole things and slipped away in the night with your lover and her kid.

Yeah that tracks - “actually the root of all evil has a legitimate reason for what they’re doing and it’s not what you thought” - very GoT.

I now need zombie cleganebowl more than anything!

Good idea. They might have to go north of the wall for them to turn though...isn’t it the white walkers who turn them into wights?

Yeah I see what you mean. Although, they seem to be at odds in that Jon is the reluctant ruler, not born into it but selected by his people, and Dany very much leans on her “birthright” to the throne. She has had people choose her as ruler, true, but more because of her awesome power. But I guess she has done good…

Maybe Jon can call Drogon to him like Dany does? Now that they’ve had their Vulcan mind meld / Hiccup-Toothless bonding moment.

I also felt like this episode was just checking a bunch of boxes, moving pieces on a board. Nothing felt earned. It asked the viewer to sit back and enjoy without thinking too hard...not a good plan for GoT.

I didn’t think of that, that the gang is a bunch of people who have cheated death. Plus one guy who can resurrect. (Didn’t Mel say their powers don’t work north of the wall at some point though?) So is that valuable somehow? Are you invulnerable to the Night King (who represents death, apparently) if you’ve already…

I see where the show is trying to force it - Dany making doe-eyes at Jon while he talks, etc. I’m just not sure it’s earned from a character standpoint, so it rings false.

I didn’t think of this, but gods I hope you’re right.

Wait wait wait...Cersei J Lannister, clearly Ivanka is Tommen, seemingly innocuous and married to someone (Margaery) who has undue influence over the kingdom. Don Jr is Joffrey, somewhat thick and proactively and recklessly endangering the family name. Eric is Marcella.

In the game of thrones, you win or you covfefe.

I third the non-shipping. At least this episode they managed a hint of chemistry, but they are each too disdainful of the other to let this ship happen. Unless they finally sit down and have a drink and she’s all, I walked out of fire - twice - and he’s all, I was raised from the dead and killed a White Walker...until…

I’m not sure the show has represented her the same way as the books, though. I think she has come across as more competent - same chip on her shoulder, but not running around drunk making poor choices. Certainly she has been more sympathetic, between showing her love for her children and her frustration at not being…

6. That is the dracarys “fire bout to tear some shit up” music. Been used since back when Dany got the Unsullied. I LOVE it.
